I'm constantly drunk so I figured why not bike to work but it turns out you can get a DUII that way too so I figured why not drive to work, it's faster and I won't spill my beer.

PittTheElder posted:For the same reasons cars run stop signs and traffic signals all the time probably. Tbf cars don’t generally willfully run them. I live near a busy intersection where bikes constantly run the stop sign and it’s incredibly dangerous. I’ve had a few near misses because they just come flying down the hill.

Yeah this is a YMMW situation, but what I usually see is cyclists slowing down but not stopping entirely at stop signs, changing lanes mid-intersection, and not stopping when doing right-on-red, and car drivers do all the same poo poo. Bikes flying through a stop sign at high speed sure is a thing

PittTheElder posted:For the same reasons cars run stop signs and traffic signals all the time probably. No it's different. Cars run stop signs and traffic signals because drivers are lovely and/or lazy. They understand when they get pulled over that they made a decision and it has consequences. Cyclists argue that the very nature of their mode of transportation means that they don't have to abide by stop signs and traffic signals. But they still expect to be treated on an equal footing as other vehicles in every area that doesn't slightly inconvenience them.

There is a mentally handicapped/challenged person in our nearby town who just cycles around in his recumbent all day, smiling, and that's just real nice to see someone enjoying life you know.

I think they're open again now, I should get some of their exciting fusion food, like a cone of chips with mayo and peanut sauce. There seem to be “Belgian” and “Dutch” chip-only places popping up all over the place. Usually with a massive ‘Vegan friendly’ sign somewhere because it’s just potatoes and vegetable oil, so duh.

Anecdotal but this is horseshit, there's someone near me who owns a very well taken care of Ford Tempo and I'm always delighted to see it at the grocery store It's like the Velveteen Rabbit of commuter cars. Absolutely zero intrinsic value except that someone loved it enough to keep it.

Every Saturday they drive up and down Stockholm's equivalent of the main drag. Half of them are driving the 70 year old American equivalent of a 2003 Kia, that they've restored at ridiculous cost. Like the kind of thing you have pictures of your parents' families driving to Yellowstone in.

zoux posted:How many switchblade knife injuries does one see in a typical greaser weekend I think they meant like Country Squires, so the injuries would be more in line with "damaged larynx while screaming at kids to stop screwing around back there". Thanks to my own white trash upbringing, traveling to Yellowstone is forever tied to the trauma caused by driving there- no hotels, only rest stops- from Illinois in an busted 85 Camaro that smells like Cherry Twizzlers, has no air conditioning, and no room to move because the cabin's packed with camping supplies. It's why I've dedicated my adult life to inventing some kind of evil ray that, when fired, will cause the caldera to erupt, forever ending family trips to Yellowstone. I'll offer the nations of North America a chance to sway me with vast sums of money, as it is de rigueur in these scenarios, but I'm going to fire the ray anyway.

As an Australian geologist you should absolutely do this, because a) I'll probably be fine after it explodes and b) studying what happens after it pops off will be fascinating.

My only bike story is one time I was stuck behind a dude powering up a hill that I wouldn't even want to walk all the way up, and wasn't even mad because motherfucker was going so hard. I wanted to clap when he got to the top. That man? Albert Einstein.
