Carbon dioxide posted:

"traffic circles" refer to the mega ones with stop lights at every incoming road, or at the ancient design where cars driving onto the circle have priority over those already on the roundabout. It turns out that is a bad design that has even less throughput than a regular intersection.

A roundabout, on the other hand, is the modern kind, where cars on the roundabout always have priority over cars wanting to enter the roundabout. It is both safer and has higher throughput than a regular intersection.

Therefor, my opinion is that traffic circles are bad while roundabouts are good.

How can you tell what priority ruleset a given roundabout/traffic circle uses?

Same way you do every other part of the road, signs.

I guess that's not very different than something like a "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED" sign at a standard intersection. Still, it feels weird to approach a roundabout and have to look for a sign to see whether or not I need to yield to those already in the circle.

I live in Oregon where we don't have sales tax, so most things ring up as they are listed, except for things like soda and beer that have a bottle deposit. People have lived here seventy years and will still be confused, confounded, insulted and determined to take a stance against this misdirection whenever their two-for-five-dollars budweiser rings up 5.20.

Sadly not true. Alaska does not have three times the land area of Texas. It’s not possible to split Alaska into three states, all of which are larger than Texas.

You can at best split it into thirds and have two of them dunk on Texas and the third essentially tie with Mississippi for what would then be the thirty‐third largest state.

I think Canada would donate a little Yukon if it meant dunkin on Texas.

If you look at it though the size does scale really well with the prices, at least with the cheaper three. You seem to get what you pay for. Based on this graph I think Spain gives you the best value, though. It's only a seventy cent increase from Greece but it's the same size difference from Turkey to Greece.

Well now I am not so sure. Looking around on the Internet, I see a lot of claims like this

quote:

Circumcision was different in the time of David and is actually correctly noted in the statue with just the tip of the foreskin removed. It wouldn't become a more common practice to completely remove the skin until roman times. Michelangelo, by all accounts, is accurate to David's time.

But they're all from commenters or quotes. I can't find a better source... yet!
