Where are you, 4AM?
I have yet to have the pleasure to visit Florida
The country about to go to war with Iran
god I love florida
Itās definitely different. I grew up around DC
@pratel I grew up there yes. Jug handles give it away?
Yeah.
What are jug handles?
Some weird NJ thing that not even other Americans understand.
Biker things?
@4AM_critter š you know American liberty and freedom are actually the name of our bomber fleets right?
That's what we bring when we say we are bringing library or freedom
Send them @Grenade123 I pop smoke at the socialist nests
@CallMeBlondie if you want something really weird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_left
I've never met anyone who's driven one. But it sure seems odd.
Oh my lord! I would be so confused! And so would all the old people
Not that Iām one of the old people
Nice, we just got one of those in my town, a Michigan Left
@pratel it's not that weird. Designers just figured it was a better idea to have everyone at a traffic light either be stopped or going, rather than have a line of traffic stopped dead in one lane while the two lands next to it pass by at like 50 mph
Sure. But it's a rather confusing way to make a left.
Not really, it's like taking a left from a highway
Also, @CallMeBlondie Forgot to give you the link for the jughandle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jughandle
Thank you! I donāt even want to tell you what I thought it was.
Iām sure once you drive these new exits or whatever they are... theyāre much easier than explaining them on Wikipedia
The Michigan left seems to be for people who missed their turn. Or maybe it works better for trucks
I definitely donāt drive a truck
The jug handle is just like exiting a freeway or motorway, and its also great if you are confused with the area and don't know if you are taking a left or right up ahead. You can be in the right hand lane and go either way.
Roundabouts work when people know how to use them, but it required paying attention so people don't.
I dunno, you can circle the drain for a couple hours and you'll figure it out eventually.
What I find most perplexing is the new uncontrolled intersections.
Thank you @Grenade123
Now imagine explaining that in a script on tv. Not very easy
@pratel think the idea is that people focus more on driving than on things off the road or right in front of them. Also general those intersections are using psychology to make you drive slower
Like pillars right against the edges
I would never suggest that what works in another country would work here in the US totally unchanged
But it does provide useful data that can guide rational decision making
Since this is a debate, help me with this...
Is it right for politicians to act as doctors? For example, the āopioid epidemicā Politicians say everyone who takes pain meds will become addicts, overdose and die. To solve the problem theyāve enacted legislation thatās actually hurting responsible pain patients... veterans/cancer patients/chronic pain patients... by cutting off their access to pain meds, which, in turn has forced record numbers of them to turn to suicide.
Yes, it is right for politicians to regulate the legality and use of medical compounds.
True, but by saving lives their actually hurting lives... right?
Iām not saying they shouldnāt regulate. I just donāt think the politicians should cut off all access
At a national level, politics is a calculation of human lives. We could talk about whether they're causing more harm than good, but the fact that the legislation causes people any amount of suffering isn't a refutation of the act by itself.
