Resale shall be impeded by nasal objection
If your car has a beverage holder in the door of the vehicle, make sure you are fully seated and have closed the door firmly before you place your drink in the holder. It’s taken me 8 years and one car that smells like a coffee shop mop-up rag, to work this out.
Shut up! Announcing your plans makes you less... →

I’ve got a real bad habit of doing this. In fact, from now on, I plan to never do this again…oh… DAMMIT.

Skeptic's Annotated Bible / Quran / Book of Mormon →
The SAB will help those who believe in the Bible to honestly reconsider that belief. It will help those who are unfamiliar with the Bible to resist the temptation to believe. And it will help those who have already rejected the Bible defend their position.
Love the highlights section. Check out Absurdity, some of it had me in stitches. Example: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy...

The odds of annoyance
At the age of 34, with some good luck and modern medicine, you could say I’m less than half way through my life. Taking that as a given, let’s make a few assumptions:
I started interacting with other people, through speech and actions, around the age of four.
That gives me 30 years of interaction with other humans.
During that time I’ve met many people and been in many...

Tumblr study advice
I received a lot of great advice on my study/exam question. This is why the tumblr community is so great, always willing to help. Thanks so much, you guys rock!
I’m going to go with a read/rewrite/flashcard approach, as that seems to be the way most people recommended.

I haven’t passed an exam in 19 years. Mainly because I left school at 15 to become a musician and artist (Yup, honestly, I really was that naïve) but also because I was an academic disaster. I wasn’t stupid, I just wasn’t a person suited to a school system skewed in favour of those who are good at exams (which I’m not), rather than good at learning (which I am). I...

Why did you choose the name Travors?
My real, real, real name is Daniel Walsh. My second year English teacher used to call me Daniel J. Travanti, after the captain in Hill Street Blues. My friends shortened it to Travors. For the record, most people call me Dan, only my mother calls me Daniel. Usually when I’m in trouble.

If you had access to a time machine, where and when would be the first place you travel to?
I’d travel to Dublin in 1994 and tell 19 year old me not to bother buying that lifelong membership for the barber shop.
