kastein posted:It's from a one-way onto a one-way, as far as I know. I may be wrong. The exception is "unless there's a sign saying not to." I can think of several intersections only a block or two apart in Worcester where you could run into each of these situations in turn. Washington is even more lax. It's even from a two-way onto a one-way. It's a logically sound maneuver but obviously not a hard expectation. I know of about two places in the whole state that I've consistently done it. Another one is turning to or from a center dedicated turn lane. In WA you're supposed to use it in both cases, both merging into it and turning off or turning into it and merging over. Apparently some states want you to always cut entirely across it when entering a road that has one.

Rhyno posted:I have joined the "personally know someone who died of Covid " club. Parents drove down with the camper and three dogs from WI and got a nice spot at a camp ground ~15 minutes away. They quarantined before the trip, my youngest brother has been working from home and we've been doing the same. Middle brother and his girlfriend are idiots so they haven't and I know they aren't wearing masks like they're supposed to. Did family photos Sunday night when they rolled into town then hung out with them yesterday afternoon, hanging out with them again today I think. We're outside and I'm distancing what I can but I feel guilty for not wearing a mask, mostly when middle brother is around. Stress of that and socializing for the first time in ~9 months is wearing me the gently caress out.

Scrapple, onion, and provolone burger. Onions get cooked under the burger so they steam faster and the burg catches the flavor. Buns were toasted after spreading mayo on them. Rhyno posted:I have joined the "personally know someone who died of Covid " club. gently caress. Sorry bud.

Same, though he was a right wing chud who defended the lost cause theory IN loving MASSACHUSETTS and was a police officer, so we basically haven't talked in 4 or so years and barely talked since like 7 years ago, so it was more "well that sucks for his kids but I'm not surprised at all" than anything else. Sorry you lost an actual friend, dude

I just wish we hadn't lost touch. I'm shamelessly stealing what a mutual friend wrote about Curtis because I am no good with words and this guy was his best friend. quote:Heaven is a little brighter, but the world is a little darker with the loss of one of the brightest lights I knew. My friend Curtis passed away yesterday. I use the term friend to keep things simple, because Curt was so much more than just a friend.

I was talking to one of my friends on the phone last night and he told me that he thinks Trump has a body double and that he's actually really sick and dying. Man these really are crazy times. There is no way to tell what is even real anymore.

People that I would otherwise find to be really smart are coming out of nowhere talking about Q-anon tier poo poo. Speaking of, the Q Anon stuff has gotten way bigger than I could have ever imagined. Just looking into it at a glance there are huge groups devoted to it. Completely insane considering it originated from a series of 4chan posts in 2015 that were specifically designed to troll boomers with no internet acumen that were coming onto the site for political takes. It's really wild. I imagine this is what it must have been like to live in the soviet union right before the collapse.

Listening to Cloud Cult while I read it and must be dusty in here or something :'( I don't know anyone that has died from it yet but thinking about all the friends and family that people are losing every day is so heartbreaking. Nothing will ever be the same even after. All of those people are gone forever and the people that survive have to live without them and think about them all the time and miss them like crazy

Completely insane considering it originated from a series of 4chan posts in 2015 that were specifically designed to troll boomers with no internet acumen that were coming onto the site for political takes. I knew QAnon was conspiracy theory bullshit, but I had no idea it came from 4chan of all places. I wonder if any of the adherents would continue to believe if they were made to understand that (which would be a difficult enough task - they just scream "fake news" at anything they don't want to hear.) Speaking of, an aunt of mine replied to my FaceBook post regarding Trump and the Proud Boys, mentioning fake news. I just replied that she could stop talking right there, since she had just destroyed any credibility she had at that point just by invoking the concept. I don't wish to alienate family, but I'm not putting up with that poo poo any more. Sadly, since I'm 51, all my aunts and uncles are Boomers, and we're a Catholic family, so I have a bunch. I really cannot fathom the mindset that praises Trump and his actions.Especially when you're middle-class working folks, like that aunt I mentioned is. FYGM doesn't translate well when you ain't got yours.

Today is my roommate's birthday. I'm not social, particularly since I'm high risk and COVID and all that poo poo. He and a couple of friends went down to... some beach. Not sure which. They might be back tonight, they may not be (I'm hoping for not). Figured I'd go buy him a new water pipe or bubbler for his bday (admittedly, because I WANT MINE BACK). I left the shop with a nice mini-water pipe (borderline between bubbler and "water pipe") and the phone number of the owner of the shop. He seems like a nice enough guy, but uh... I'm not into older guys. At all. Kinda shocked his gaydar was THAT good that he picked up on me, I rarely trip any gaydar.

This is the best.64bit_Dophins posted:I was talking to one of my friends on the phone last night and he told me that he thinks Trump has a body double and that he's actually really sick and dying. The first part is wrong, no living person could possibly resemble the blobbish monstrosity trump - just practicing how to stand that loving stupid would take an actor a lifetime to learn. The second part is almost certainly true. 74 year old idiotfucker with no physical fitness in his history who eats nothing but Filet-o-Fish, there is literally no way he doesn't have high blood pressure, diabetes, and all the possible co-morbidities available. The fat loving clown has infected half the pentagon now, and the markets just ate poo poo (before a last second minor rebound) because he has instructed his toadies in the Senate to stop work on a stimulus package because he's holding it ransom for his own re-election. If I'm China, Russia, Iran, or any of our many many many enemies we've made over the last 20 years of unsolicited war in the middle east, now is the time to wreak the havoc you've been waiting for. Everyone hold onto their asses please.

Hi all, been lurking a while but finally have a driveable car that isn't a Lada perpetually waiting for parts and I wanted to show it off. Got it just in time so I don't have to worry riding the motorcycle in rain and on fallen leaves. Pretty happy with this. Is there a thread on Nissans and Infinitis? I couldn't find one during all my lurking

Finally figured out I saw a BMW i8 the other day, southbound on I-5. Completely threw me because it was wider and stubbier than I ever expected and it was dark blue and black instead of that same silver and blue scheme I'd think they all came in.

Patrocclesiastes posted:
I don't think so, but congrats on a great purchase. If you have any random issues with the car just post here, besides myself I'm sure there are a fair number of people in this forum who owned that car / some variation and can help you fix any issues. I would call it a very easy car to work on if necessary, you wouldn't believe how much easier it is to change a radiator on a 350Z vs something like an Acura RSX.
