Hirayuki posted:Left-turn-only lanes are also not on-ramps. Do not pull out of a driveway into that middle lane and drive down it with your turn signal on (or not), trying to merge into a non-turn lane. People will move into that turn lane to, you know, turn. (Stopping in the middle lane waiting to merge is also uncool, but I'll give it a pass if traffic is horrendous and you don't stay there for long.) Usually there are laws about that, like here you can't drive in a middle turn lane for more than 200 feet without turning or merging, but people definitely abuse it. There should be a service like Uber but for law enforcement where you just get deputized, get a ticket book and a siren and you can use your own vehicle to enforce the law. I could crank out like 10 tickets each way to and from work every single day.

Iron Crowned posted:Fascism isn't cool I think we could dabble in it just a little as long as we kept it only to traffic violations. We live in a society, after all. (in case it's not clear, I was being hyperbolic. I do think it would be an interesting in an ideal world where people aren't dishonest and wouldn't try and exploit the system for anything except what it is designed to be, but that's obviously not the world we live in. Still, seeing people blatantly violate traffic law in very dangerous ways every day with no consequence yet you get scooped up for keeping up with the flow of traffic at the end of the month is very frustrating). yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 02:59 on Sep 13, 2019 |

It's 3.6 which is not an insane number or hard to figure out. Just change the thermostat by less.

Okay, but now imagine your thermostat allows setting half degrees in Celsius. Suddenly there's no reason to use Fahrenheit for anything ever!!

I don't get why it matters which one is used, it's the same thing on different scales. It's not like cups and quarts or something where you have to remember bullshit conversion factors.

It's worse than cups and quarts because, not only is a Celsius degree equal to 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees, 0 Celsius is not the same temperature as 0 Fahrenheit

There aren't any arbitrary smaller units that require you to remember that 5 degrees are equivalent to 14 donkeydegrees or anything.

User reviews on eBay/Amazon/Wish/Ali that are just: "Arrived early and not visibly damaged. Have not tried it yet. Five Stars" That's not a review of the product it's a review of your postal service and I can't fathom what sort of person thinks this might be at all helpful.

FreudianSlippers posted:User reviews on eBay/Amazon/Wish/Ali that are just: similar theme: recipe reviews. We've covered the long family story/references to 9/11 novels prior to the recipe, but the reviews are just as annoying if not moreso. They give you information, but not the information you need. The recipe might say it needs 2 eggs, 4 cups of flour, green beans, corn and vanilla and almost all the reviews are like "I didn't have eggs so I used milk, and I used a completely different kind of flour, couldn't find green beans so I substituted sausage, my son HATES corn so I switched that for pumpkin, and instead of vanilla I poured half a bottle of bourbon in. Totally delicious! It was a hit at my office party, 5 stars!!!". am I the weird one for trying to actually follow the recipe?

There's a line where a substitution fundamentally alters it to the point that it's an entirely different thing and the review becomes irrelevant. I'm not talking about subbing in skim milk for whole or using a little extra spice etc.
