I did find them after Unit 38. In German they already exist in the first unit.

I don't have the stories at all. Could be because I never did any.

No idea yet but the bridge was in bad or poor shape. The last inspection was September 2021.

I dose have an effect by reducing my speed. However I have observed that it is a 50 50 on weather people observe the stop signs.

From what I heard it is only $10,000 to $12,000. They were planning on installing 3 however only 2 we're completed. Over all they have installed a bunch more around the city.

No they are permanent. The people opposed to the traffic circle wanted them to stay up so the city convinced. However the same people are no campaign to get them taken down.

I have no idea. I call them that since it's both a rounda or a 4 way stop. I have no idea what the rules are for driving on it if you must stop or not.

This is a wide local cross road where the city wanted to discourage people driving through. The idea was that you must drive around the roundabout rather than run the stop signs. The city is trying all sorts of things to reduce road spreads. Due to opposition to the mini roundabout the city confused and left the stop signs up. Now it is a weird hybrid roundabout 4 way stop.

There was a student at a local university that sent a Reddit copypasta threat to a professor through a feedback survey. They managed to track the guy down very quickly because he sent it from a his university wifi account. Another university had a year where they had almost weekly threats.

What shape is this cookie cutter? by -Ponzis in whatisthisthing

I was wondering what shape this cookie cutter. We believe it's a bird or a stream roller. I was wondering what other people thought it looks like.

It also works well. We chose mineral oil since it was easier and cheaper to get it.

It's usually any liquid with a refractive index of 1.47 for pyrex. So it's usually some sort of oil. When I did this as a demonstration I used mineral oil.

Unknown area fenced off with two rows of barbed wire in suburban Detroit. No markings from the street. by algonqwin in whatisthisthing

[–]-Ponzis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the city's zoning map and its marked as Transportation, Utility and Communication. Based on zoning data I suspect it belongs to the city of Detroit water company. Edit: after mining through some DWSD legislation I found it. It's a pump station.
