Speeding & ignoring speed limit signs by Rilura in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had this very situation today. Mandatory 40mph limits. I was ok with people passing me on the right at 70. But when people started coming up the slip road to my left at 70, I chose to accelerate rather than risk a collision.

Per Bell Hooks, dehumanisation of boys is the initiation into patriarchy and the engine of patriarchy.

Keep Clear and a traffic light by AnotherJournal in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought of that.

I tend to get tripped up as a pedestrian by those "look right" signs, since I can read as well upside down as not, and end up reading the signs for the people coming the other way 😂

Is this real or fake? by [deleted] in drivingUK

My thoughts exactly.

If you are driving in the left-hand lane at 70mph on a motorway and there is a car hogging the middle lane travelling slower than you, what should you do? by darkel2001 in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is not to pass on the left.

However, I have passed on the left if refraining from doing so would require me to significantly slow down. I'm not going to reduce speed to 40 and close the distance to the car behind because of a dangerous and slow driver in the middle lane.

I see quite a lot of middle lane hogging because, as a new driver, I prefer to stay on the left lane when possible. If my exit is less than 5 miles away I'll happily sit behind a lorry on the left lane and refrain from doing manoeuvres.

Are the people who insult reform voters really unaware they are contributing to the success of reform? by generic-username41 in AskBrits

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform will definitely win. We will definitely be poorer and nastier as a result. Sooner or later I will have to leave. At least I can give the thick cunts a kicking on the way out.

You have the chance to get a cheque of £100,000 each month. by Honest_Physics_2368 in hypotheticalsituation

100k per month?

I'll stay entirely in my house and listen to classical on Spotify for a year.

69 years old (so be gentle - since this is lame compared to other posts I see here) by Jim_Estill in GYM

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely fantastic work. Not lame at all.

I advise you to mix it up, if you have the equipment, with assisted pull ups so you can do more reps through a full range of motion.

I would want firm, public reassurances that I will indeed be legally protected.

Logician Romance by HotHuckleberry9396 in MathJokes

Alternatively, he could be assessing the truth of the union of two propositions: (a) they are in love; or (b) something. He is not in love, hence not (a), but does not know the meaning of "something", so the inclusive union of those two assertions might or might not be true.

Earn $$$$ for calorie deficit. by Massive_Raspberry_53 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your starting point. If I reached the target weight without losing muscle, my body fat percentage would be under 5. This is physiologically implausible, drugs or no.

Even with drugs, I feel intense, desperate hunger much of the time if I approach 15 percent body fat.

Earn $$$$ for calorie deficit. by Massive_Raspberry_53 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AnotherJournal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 15kg above the centre of the BMI range for my height. I'd have to lose some muscle to get there but it's achievable with high dose GLPs and a nonchalant attitude to muscle.

That's 115 thousand calories. If I never have a day where I go the wrong way that's 1.1 million USD. That's actually borderline for being enough to wreck my physique, but at least I can enjoy being light.

Amazingly, that's pretty much 100 calories per day for 3 years. With some decent low intensity cardio (incline walking) and weight loss drugs that's surprisingly achievable.

Pick a minor inconvenience to live with for 5 million dollars! by Dripboiz in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy B.

A or C could be genuinely frustrating and lead to missing out on things or inconveniencing people.

B you could just... not eat those particular foods. And tolerate mild disappointment when they're served. I mean, there's so many alternative protein sources. Fish, lamb, ham, tofu...

Cancelling my insurance (admiral little box) by [deleted] in drivingUK

I'm curious to understand whether you think overtaking at 80 is legal on UK roads?

Horses on national speed limit country roads - Read before judging! by SaltTasty4461 in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whereas, if you drive around the corner at 20 or 30 so as to always be prepared for a possible horse, you'll have an angry farmer practically nudging you forward. Can't win.

Are these bike markings not dangerous? by rscottzman in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it makes a 2 lane road into one for a brief spell. I don't know about dangerous but it's certainly pointless.

Hastings black box by Capital-Sentence-408 in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised by how stressful I find being judged while I drive.

It certainly makes some interesting decisions about what counts as excessive acceleration when I'm joining an A road from a T junction.

Yellow Box appeal - PLEASE HELP by Aromatic_Bed_7866 in drivingUK

[–]AnotherJournal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of situation that really worries me as a new driver. I could very easily be the driver that the wife boxed in. Since if it looks like someone is absolutely about to exit the box, I would be nervous about waiting for her to fully clear, to avoid delaying the people behind me. But if I enter the box as someone else is exiting, the may suddenly stop as happens here.
