It's brilliant for sneaking through tight corners and parking, and also getting out of giving your mates lifts round the pub when you're the designated driver. I dunno if I'd want to drive one in America where the cars are generally MASSIVE, but in the UK it's a fun little ride. I also have a Dr. E/N aka 'Get-Out' Frog sticker on it, because I am a goony fucker. How is it when you hit 70 MPH?

Ariza posted:They'd be great in the US in a smallish city or for intra-city travel in larger cities that didn't require you to travel on freeways frequently. The first one I ever saw was some idiot driving in one in the fast lane in Atlanta, while going way too slow to be in that lane. They (at least their car) didn't make it too far because I saw it smashed into the wall with a big truck with no discernible damage behind it. Then again, in some cities like NYC you'd get farther for most of it by just taking mass transit and walking or biking the rest of the way. Driving in Manhattan switches between ceaseless frustration and white-knuckle terror depending on the traffic at the time.

A good one is 30 seconds in, when that car apparently gets T-boned by a driver running a red light...who is then followed by a box truck, apparently running the light even later. I guess they just take red lights as suggestions to stop if you see oncoming traffic?

I once left the office and found that it was raining everywhere outside except one single parking space, which was completely uncovered.

Not My Leg posted:There's a good post about setting speed limits too low on the first page of the Ask a Traffic Engineer thread. Long story short, speed limits are supposed to be set somewhere around the fastest speed at which the worst designed vehicle can safely negotiate the road in dry conditions (called design speed). But grandpa complains about those drat kids driving too fast and the speed limit gets lowered because old people vote in local elections. Most roads (at least most roads the OP has done a speed study on) then end up with speed limits about 10 MPH lower than the design speeds (and surprise, most end up driving near the design speed anyway). In fact, Montana experimented with removing speed limits in the day altogether and found that accidents decreased. Turns out people who are going to drive at dangerous speeds will be dangerous assholes even when it's illegal, and most drivers just drive at whatever speed is comfortable for them in the first place.

Gorilla Salad posted:US Republicans have spent the last few decades not-quite-openly cultivating poverty stricken hate filled racists as their voter base. To add onto this, Republicans have been struggling recently with their poor image to anyone who's not a hate-filled white racist and desperately trying to court minorities and women (which is hard to do while openly campaigning to restrict their rights). If Trump wins the nomination, all the people who might vote for the Republican party but aren't a bizarre caricature of a crazed bigot will go away or even vote for a Democrat just to keep the nutter out.

darkwasthenight posted:Don't know about Trump in particular, but if you're cynical you could begin to think being in opposition is a lot more rewarding than actually being in government. You get paid the same as the other side does to accuse them of being massive shitmongers in the press every day, and without any of the hassle of actually having to come up with actual policies. I can't see that Trump is a true believer in anything but himself, so running for office would probably be more fun than being in it. Trump has to know that he's totally unqualified and unprepared for the job. He's crazy, but not that crazy. The last time he tried to run, it was a complete flop. I think he may have been just as surprised as we were at his popularity.

CommissarMega posted:Who decides the nominee? I always thought politicians in American parties decided on a nominee, so if the Republicans don't want Trump, they could just nominate someone else. All this talk about the Republicans running scared of Trump seems to indicate that the people do the voting instead. Delegates attending their party's convention do the voting themselves. However, exactly who they're allowed to vote for depends on the state. Some states actually have you voting to add delegates who vote for whoever the people chose, while others just show who the people want and the delegates can ignore them if they want (though it's not very politically favorable to ignore democratic decisions altogether). Some states don't even havea primary; they have a caucus (members of the local party meet to decide on a candidate), or a combination of primary and caucuses. There are also superdelegates, who have a seat at the convention based on their position in the party and can vote for whoever they want. The reason it's so confusing is because primaries aren't actually a part of the Constitution. Originally, the Electoral College just did everything and the states figured out their own method of deciding electors. Then states started gradually holding popular votes to choose electors. Eventually, the 19th century evolved until political bosses started having control over which delegates were chosen. Primaries started appearing one state at a time as a way of letting the people show their support for candidates. It was a somewhat haphazard process that developed on its own. chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 18:25 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Holy poo poo, "Overtures" and "Intermissions". What the gently caress happened to you, Tarantino?! Did you forget the part where one of his most famous films had to be cut into two because he basically made two movies worth of footage that couldn't be cut shorter? Tarantino makes some cool stuff, but he's kinda always been a weird niche filmmaker precisely because of his obsession with emulating the past, or making his movie one huge homage to a particular genre.

It's lovely because Wu Tang thinks they're such brilliant talents that they can make exclusive songs that never get released to the public and sell them for millions of dollars to a single person. They kinda deserved to have their stunt get hijacked by an rear end in a top hat. Edit: Oh my God this loving quote. quote:“We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of music,” RZA told Forbes. “We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like someone having the scepter of an Egyptian king.” Yeah they deserved that.

I heart bacon posted:I wouldn't quite call it a rounding error, but something they can lose without worrying about too much for sure. Gates let loose on a lot of money, but you know the tax breaks more than made up for his donations. But, yeah that was my point was salary wise. These guys have money to throw around, but they're still very protective about it. That's why the rich are rich and the not so rich are not so rich. Nah, it could be a rounding error. Bill Gates has a fortune of $82 billion. $2 million is 1/41,000 of that fortune. In terms of scale, it would be like a few cents going missing from your bank account. On a $15,000 hatchback, that's the equivalent of a 36 cent difference.

His for sure didn't happen overnight either. Also wouldn't that include assets he is making payments on also? Seems like that could skew the number a bit also. It's his net worth. $14 billion is Microsoft stock, while most of the remainder is invested in a bunch of stuff through his private investment firm. $4 billion is cash, small investments, and personal assets like his mansion. He's also donated over $28 billion in cash to philanthropy. A lot of it has come from gradually selling his shares in Microsoft. chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 02:56 on Dec 10, 2015 |

Eponine posted:Chickenpox is pretty common in elementary schools and most kids aren't vaccinated against it until a certain age and only unless they haven't already had it (I never got it and at 16 got the vaccine just in case). It's very dangerous for adults and kids with compromised immune systems. I got it at 15, and it was awful. I ended up missing a week of school and covered in lesions, feeling like I had the flu. I still remember the dose of horror I got in the early morning, stumbling into my bathroom and getting the first glimpse of my face as I tried to shower for school. The only good news that came out of it is that it occurred when GTA IV came out and I had pre-ordered it, so I at least had something to do while I was gone. I still have two scars (one of which is a crater in the side of my nose) from lesions that I ended up rubbing off.
