Captain Foo posted:boston is easy to drive in, you just have to spot the safe-travelling-distance gaps and know someone will fill it immediately and without a blinker in ~.25 seconds i was leaving somerville at about 5:50am a few years ago and was driving down mass ave with about a car length between me and the guy in front. we were the only 3 cars on the road, but the guy behind me drove into the parking lane and jumped the curb at a corner to get into that spot. i then watched several people treat a red light as a stop sign. even when there was traffic coming these people would just keep inching out into the intersection until the cross traffic started honking and had to swerve slightly to miss them. don't even get me started on the suicidal cyclists who don't seem to think that the rules apply to them

Milwaukee has pretty good drivers for the most part. It's when you have a bunch of SUVs and mini-vans from the suburbs trying to get downtown and clogging up the road and double-parking that you have problems. Chicago has a lot of aggressive drivers but it's half good and half bad. The good half are aggressive because they need to navigate traffic to get where they're going and they don't gently caress around. The bad half are aggressive because they need to fit in someone's 1-car-length safety gap slightly ahead of where they are and arrive at their destination in the same amount of time anyway.

In London it's a thing where cyclists wear gopros and chase down drivers for the tiniest of reasons before yelling obscenities at them to get a reaction, all so they can post the video on YouTube and pretend they were abused and almost killed that day by an inconsiderate motorist. gently caress cyclists.

leper khan posted:I am much better at writing functional code on my computer than drawing runes, so I'm looking forward to the new trend. it's pretty good except for the expectation that you spend like ~6 hours on each project depending on where it is in the interview process its fine, so if it's far enough along you know you want the job okay -- but if you're shotgun applying it would get old pretty fuckin fast

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:The entire Pacific Northwest coast is going to be totally isolated because every road and power line running across the coast range will be severed by a major earthquake. They'll need helicopters to bring in food and water and/or evacuate the survivors west of the coast range. Progressive JPEG posted:FEMA projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Another twenty-seven thousand will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people, and food and water for another two and a half million. It's adorable you guys think the Trump Whitehouse will do anything at all when this happens.

The cyclists around here do this terribly annoying thing where they feel like they can cut the double line on windy two lane roads, why they think this is a good idea on blind turns is beyond me, gotta shave .2 seconds off the downhill I guess? Like five or six a year get merked doing this and clipping an oncoming car so you'd think they'd learn but nope.
