Real hurthling! posted:my italian grandpa would grab freshly molted cicadas off the side of his garage while they were drying their wings and tie string to them and give them to me and the cicada would finish drying on my t shirt and then fly in a circle around me on the string for a while until we let him go. Great and now all the bugs are going extinct. Thanks a lot.

I was reading about kei trucks and apparently they're total poo poo to drive and maintain and the reason they're banned for import (until they're antiques) is because they have no emission controls compared to a normal US car.

I love this threads perfectly even split between people who hate cars because they hate everything and people who hate cars because they love bicycling.

mystes posted:I hate cars but unlike you I guess I have the ability to accept that other people may have different opinions from me Maybe it would help to make an analogy. I hate reading your posts, and every minute is miserable. But when I get done reading them I think back and I can't think of anything you said, its just a blur. That's what driving professionally is like.

But the NYPD strives each day to achieve a balance as we continue to work toward solutions." The police is striving each day to achieve a balance between breaking the law and not.

HashtagGirlboss posted:One behavior that I like is when they don’t look like they’ll stop for the crosswalk and then at the very last minute they slam on the brakes and glare at you as you cross I hate this so much. The slow roll where they just won't stop moving towards you. Just stop! It's not saving anyone time.

I ran a red light earlier this year. It sucked, I was driving behind a semi truck on a 25mph road, and everyone is packed together super tight, the semi runs the red light and I literally can't see the light because I'm in a tiny car staring up at 18' of trailer. I look up after I'm already in the intersection and its solid red. Its like, even being 100% attentive and alert you will still eventually make a mistake driving. That's why we need to get rid of cars, they will never be safe no matter what.

The only guaranteed way to violate no traffic laws is to never drive, that's why I went through 1 tank of gas in 5 months.

I'm pretty sure that in Virginia its legal to u-turn from the left turn late, but you have to know that while you're doing it you're required to yield to drivers who are making a right turn on red. Like they have a red light, you have a green, but they have right of way. Lived there for 5 years never fully figured it out.

lobster shirt posted:also later on i was sitting at a two way stop and an oncoming driver also stopped at the intersection and tried to wave me through. wtf just follow the rules of the road, you aren't being nice by behaving unpredictably. people do this when im on my bike or walking too and it's infuriating. especially on busy two way roads, like how the gently caress am i supposed to go when traffic going the other way doesn't and shouldn't stop. just go! i will wait for a gap. This is such a pet peeve of mine. I stop at stop signs and poo poo when I'm biking and people will wave me through a 4-way stop or whatever even if it means I end up in front of them and now they have to pass me. Sometimes I'll be turning out of a driveway and a person will stop in the middle of the road to wave me in front of them, no other cars anywhere in sight.

Once Grok AI finishes training on X the Everything App data it will be able to drive your car with FSD technology so accurately that we won't even need traffic lights.

DoctorWhat posted:I had a weirdly positive experience today. I was riding down a local road where the bike lane was obstructed by double parked cars. A commercial vehicle behind me was honking at me - I assumed for ridingin the middle of the road so he couldn't close-pass me - and I was very upset because he could clearly see that the bike lane was obstructed. This happened to me but my wallet fell out of my backpack and I had no idea. I flipped off the car honking on me and never got it back lol...

I think really experienced cyclists will understand that the better you are on a bike the slower you're going on a multi-use path.

I've personally seen pictures of at least 30 hosed up cybertrucks which is something around 1% of all of them ever made.
