For anyone who finds typing “peachprincess.com” too long, we’ve registered peapri.com as an alias domain. So you can use peapri.com if you like.
Peapri sounds perverted somehow. Which is actually fine for a site like this.

Hell if I even have to type in a url anymore its too long lol.
I’m so lazy I just have the forum bookmarked.
Why promote laziness???
Well, it might not be just a laziness issue. Some people are poor typists, others can’t spell. But considering how quite a few of us shorten the name to PeaPri anyways, it makes sense…

because we as human beings are naturally lazy bastards to begin with? which is true btw...just look at the way we walk (not run)...do we really lift up our legs when we walk or do we tend to use as little energy as possible and drag our feet
ok getting off track here....
I haven’t typed PP’s addy in ages. I just click on they address bar and it’s usually the first few addresses down
My pappy always told me “why work harder when you can work smarter”
In light of this forum topic I have to suggest that we have a sticky dedicated to the most off topic conversations
Sidenote: I’m pretty new to these forums but I’ve noticed that in every topic Benoit has something negative to say. Is he a pessimist?

That's not true at all.

Sticky? You mean forum.

I think of myself as one, though people who know me say I'm an optimist.
What it comes down to is that when I don't agree with something, I say it, which is probably why you have this impression. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I could be wrong, but I think he means to have a sticky post in the topic list to discourage off-topic replies and point out things that are generally considered "off-topic". Kind of a "Rules of Conduct" notice.

They say that behind every pessimist lurks an idealist. Does this mean I have to resign my post as resident curmudgeon? :b

Many people here seem to embrace a philosophy of moral relativism. That's bound to cause conflict with those who have a strong sense of right and wrong. I think the best we can hope for is to keep our disagreements more or less civil. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

I tend to agree humans by nature are lazy, I mean who does walk anymore?
I have seen people drive across the street (two lane road hardly any traffic) in order to buy a paper, soda and a sandwich so they can drive back across the street and eat the sandwich while reading the paper, no joke. If people weren’t lazy they would actually walk across the street not drive.
More on topic the more ways to find this site the better I think, even if it means having shorter words, phrases, whatever, that need to be typed to find it.

If people don’t want to walk, I say they use a bicycle. Simple.

If god wanted man to ride a bicycle, he would have given him wheels instead of feet.

My point is that with a bicycle, you're still active and using your energy. With a car, you're using almost no energy at all. You don't move your legs around so much.
I'll walk if where I want to go isn't so far, but else I'll take my bicycle.
The world these days is so accessible that using only our feet isn't efficient.

I think you mean "assault with a deadly weapon"? Or am I to assume that the air is not supposed to be analogous to blood?

Many might not want a bicycle if they already have a car. It is an extra expense and more upkeep costs. I am not saying I believe that simply that others might think that way. Also 'too far' differs for so many people that what you might think is close another might think is far. I use to walk across campus, walk the 3 plus mile circle around the Botanical Gardens near campus a few times a week.
However I know others that drove a about half a mile because it was 'too far' to walk. For each person that is different and for those I know 'too far' is anything that requires more then about 200 steps, no offense to them, just they are lazy and admit it.
Don't you move your legs more with a bicycle too? Since you are pushing against your own weight, the wind you generate that you have to move through plus the weight of the bicycle meaning both legs are always in motion unless you glide. When walking even when moving one leg is idle even if for less then a second.

What I see as too far to walk is more than three kilometers(approx. 2 miles). However, I'll almost always take my bike because I don't like walking too much.
What I see as too far with a bicycle, is more than 10 kilometers (approx. almost 7 miles).

Yes, I know. But still, you can do ten times the distance with the same amount of energy that you can walk, approximately.

woah…
I forget where I read this, but it seems to me I remember reading that the amount of energy burned per unit of distance traveled is approximately the same - in other words, running a mile is about the same as walking a mile - it’s just faster.
Of course, I don’t remember where I am supposed to have read this, so take with 2 grains of salt,.
