Since it's a bike light and not something you'd die without if it fell, I'm sure the knockoff would be fine, but I've only ever used the original ones from Voile. I've never had one of those break on me.

Voile straps come in a lot of different sizes, and the holes will work in your favor with the screw mount.

These things are amazing. I keep a few dozen of them in my car, and they've saved my ass a number of times. Once, they held the suspension together on a 12k lb work trailer until it could make it to a garage.

That and the fact that short-term gratification always outweighs long-term awareness that showing companies that price increases are acceptable grants them permission to do so.

He is cool, but he didn't do it.

Just follow members of the IRS around until you collect enough info on how they party that you can file frivolous lawsuits against each of them enough that it impacts their work, and then promise to make the lawsuits go away if they make your organization tax-exempt. Call the whole operation something stupid like "Operation Snow White".

Annisquam, Missisquoi, Winooski...

New England has some awesome rivers with indigenous names.

Now you probably know more about the relationship dynamic between my parents than I do.

I hope you all had fun.

If no other reason than because they fuck it up constantly. They wrongfully-convict. They ignore evidence in both directions. They fast-track to boost conviction rates. They subject suspects to decades of appeals in barbaric conditions. They use archaic methods of execution. They bungle the executions. They use them as political stunts.

There are plenty of reasons to be against the death penalty, and there are thousands of reasons that the American "justice system" is irreparably broken, but a starting point is that if anyone fucked up their job as often as the "justice system" fucks up its own death penalty, they would be fired for incompetence.

From there, the list goes on. A government that serves its people should be focusing on rehabilitation, not revenge. A government shouldn't ignore the fact that punishment isn't a functional deterrent, no matter the scale. A government shouldn't be able to use a captive population as slave labor.

Last I heard, there was a mod team that developed an absolutely gorgeous-looking tech demo of IX, and SquareEnix was receptive, but unwilling to commit the resources needed to adapt a full remake. Now there's a new song recording that seems to indicate some sort of movement, and the Nvidia thing, but I'll believe it when I see it while staying cautiously optimistic.

I slapped a few of these along the local parade route to keep people morally consistent.
