RideTheSpiral posted:is this seriously a thing? What does everyone do when they are stopped? why wouldn't you just put a roundabout in like every other country? there are some roundabouts in the US but nobody know to use them so it's usually a massive failure. to be fair they didnt teach roundabouts when i was learning to drive here. 4 way stops suck. if you're lucky, that tiny sign that says "all way" underneath the main octagon but a lot of time they are missing for some reason for another so generally the best way to tell if it's a 4-way is to look at all the ends of the intersection and make sure they appear to have stop signs too  when people arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time, whoever got there first goes first. a lot of times it is ambiguous when you pull up at the same time and in that situation eventually somebody will take the initiative and just go. they're not dangerous, just horribly stupid and cause massive traffic congestion whenever they're used at critical intersections that really should have a light.

here is a terrible "design" straight from a house i was renting previously. in the kitchen, for some inexplicable reason, they made the floor out of this natural stone that creates a rough, completely uneven surface with lots of variation. the bathroom is the same way but it's more of a problem in the kitchen. i've never seen indoor flooring like this (go figure). it has literally no advantage over tile or whatever else you might use. it looks terrible. it hurts to walk on, some of the edges of the rock cropping up are actually somewhat sharp (not enough to draw blood or anything but still), it gets cold as poo poo in the winter, and if you drop something that isn't plastic you can pretty much loving say goodbye to it. and when it comes time to clean up after a meal or god forbid... you dropped a glass tray full of food or beer? hahaha have fun digging bits glass out of every single crevice fucko and getting down on your hands and knees with a rag because this poo poo renders all modern cleaning appliances useless. good luck pushing a broom, mop, or vacuum cleaner over this bullshit.  it's probably a little dirty in this pic but that was about as good as you could get them looking

RideTheSpiral posted:you look to your left and if there is a car coming then you stop. If there isn't a car coming then you drive through i get it. it's really simple. i'm just saying in the US whenever i encounter them (which is rare) usually if there are other people on the roundabout they're doing something wrong. for eg. lots of people stop or slow down in the round when they see someone waiting ahead at one of the entry points in order to let them in.

diabeetz posted:This would look really nice if there was an overlay of some sort of resin to level it out. Did you have to wear shoes 24/7? yeah we figure maybe they were planning on doing something more to it and ran out of money or something. it wasn't so bad you had to wear shoes 24/7 though. except for like a month after every time some glass broke in there just to be safe. people living there now probably found some of the glass i've broken. in their feet

i dont think anyone here at least has tried to argue that 4-way stops are better than roundabouts. the only conceivable reason for keeping the pre-existing ones is that converting to roundabouts would take up more space and cause all sorts of complications. well that and the cost.

DavidAlltheTime posted:Bathroom stall doors that open inwards, which in my experience, is all of them. So you have to back up and perhaps touch the toilet with your leg before you can leave. Hurray! i've literally never had this problem but im guessing if they opened outward youd bump people at the urinal since urinals are often oriented right across from or perpendicular to stalls?

the best part is that it's labeled as a bathroom. the most incomplete bathroom ever built.

DrBouvenstein posted:My car is an 03 Corolla, so too late to still have a tape deck, but to new to have any USB, Blurtooth, or even Aux input, so to get my phone to play music, I had to buy a new head unit. I didn't need a fancy one, and have no CDs anymore, so I bought one that doesn't have a CD player, only radio, and Bluetooth, USB, and Aux inputs. it's kind of your fault tho for buying a JVC product. they're all poorly designed and utter garbage. like did you not check out the unit before buying it?

the tesla is just too clowny for me like you open up the hood and it's like "where the gently caress is the engine at?" then you sit in the drivers seat and it's like "where the gently caress are all the tactile controls for standard equipment?" and apparently it has a little remote thing that looks like a lovely knockoff console peripheral ?

revmoo posted:Microwave ovens are loving retarded. Here's the extent of what controls a microwave should have: My grandma has what must be one of the first microwaves sold to consumers it looks like it's from the 60's or earlier (not sure when microwaves started being sold). Anyway it's like what you describe: a knob for time and a knob for power. No spinning platter so good luck cooking something evenly. Anyway, Ill see if she wants to sell it to you.

Gorilla Salad posted:What backwards caveman country are you living in where cards with a chip take longer than four or five seconds? yeah but that's like 5x longer than swiping... those chip readers are kind of crap technology let's face it.

Gorilla Salad posted:Wait are you saying that the act of insert card, select account, type in PIN and press enter then wait five seconds and remove card is somehow 5x longer than swipe card Yes using the chip reader takes 5x as long as swiping at least (assuming it connects quickly once youve inserted the chip end, if not then it can take much longer). God help you if you accidentally remove your card too soon because every chip reader behaves slightly differently whereas basically every swipe scanner works and feels exactly the same plus is instantaneous...

I used another chip reader thing today. First I had to hold my card in the slot the whole time because it wouldn't make a connection resting by itself. Once it did make a connection, it took about 15 seconds to finish.

Terminal Entropy posted:Even more dumb: issuers like Chase bank seem to only issue cards with chips now, without having people setting up PINs at all, so everyone just Chips and signs, negating the whole loving point. All my new cards have magnetic stripe and chip. If I try to swipe it (like out of habit) on a new point of sale system that supports chips it determines that my card is chipped and then i have to start over using the chip reader. loving ridiculous
