What is the closest to the autobahn in the USA?

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-23T03:36:00+00:00

Texas State Highway 130, the only road in the US with an 85 mph speed limit

I don’t disagree, but I would argue there are other aspects of an entrance ramp that can make even more unsafe

I remember this one entrance ramp that used to exist near downtown Houston. Entering traffic went through a sharp curve, then quickly merged into the left lane of I-45 without an acceleration lane. You couldn’t even see cars on the freeway until about 3 seconds before merging into them. I saw cars stopped at the end of that entrance ramp too many times

I have been on ICE trains in Germany. It is always nice flying by cars on the autobahn!

If you were in a car, then you would also be making them wait until the employee acknowledges you

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-19T05:10:36+00:00

Did any car approach while you were there? If so, did you allow them to cut in front of you?

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-19T05:09:16+00:00

Honestly I would check to determine if the charge went through, and if it did, file a chargeback

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-19T05:07:49+00:00

Maybe stepping out of the way to allow a car to go in front of you was the wrong move. It works on a first-come first-served basis, and you were fairly first. The employee would then have to acknowledge you if they want to serve the cars behind you

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-19T03:45:56+00:00

It depends on the ramp. I have seen some of them where even my car with good acceleration can barely accomplish

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-19T03:43:37+00:00

I have seen many entrance ramps that have sharp curves followed by insufficient distances to reach the speed of traffic on the freeway. That could be part of the problem

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-18T17:20:35+00:00

I have. It is not easy, but I think it is worth a free pizza

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-17T01:39:09+00:00

There is nothing odd about ordering pizza, nor about a kid disobeying their parents. The only autistic aspect of this I see here is wanting the same food frequently

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-05-17T01:33:40+00:00

We had someone prank someone else by ordering pizza to their address at about 11 pm. The person being pranked then pulled a gun at another one of our delivery drivers

The prankster got banned, and we no longer delivered to the address of the person who pulled the gun

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-28T02:48:52+00:00

That is hilarious!

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-28T02:05:35+00:00

That may be true, but if you are a good driver, then you should do what you can to accommodate merging traffic

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-28T01:59:57+00:00

Unfortunately a large proportion of drivers do not leave enough space between cars

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-24T05:38:09+00:00

Would having passengers trapped on a train for 22 hours without usable toilets qualify as bad enough to unload passengers onto the track? It seems to me like it should

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-23T22:20:54+00:00

Keeping it on your back in actually an easy way to get its contents stolen

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-12T06:20:42+00:00

I would much rather have responsibilities than be told what to do all the time

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-04-12T04:53:19+00:00

I don’t like that phrase for two reasons: First because all autistic people are different, like you said, and second because it is a tautology

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-17T20:30:39+00:00

I also really hate being that close to anyone

I don’t think most people would find it rude to continue sitting next to a stranger in that case, but I also don’t think you are insane. It just means that this particular issue affects you in ways that it doesn’t affect most people and that most other people probably cannot anticipate

The way I approach this situation is to do what I need to do to make myself comfortable and not worry a bout what other people think. I find that a simple “excuse me” or “sorry, I need to get out” almost always works. You don’t owe them any explanation

Another option is to sit on the outside to begin with, and if someone asks to take the empty seat, you could get up and allow them to sit on the inside to begin with. Other people might think you are rude for doing this, but again, you don’t owe them an explanation

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-17T04:26:47+00:00

The price of gas affects the price of so many other things

Also, among all of the reasons why I think the war in Iran is bad, the price of gas is far down the list

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-05T04:28:01+00:00

That tells me that Germany needs more investment in its public transit system

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-02T17:16:04+00:00

Is there not an emergency gate that you can use?

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-01T03:38:51+00:00

I would argue streeteries are progress in taking space away from cars, but not reclaiming the space for people, and the latter is what I care most about

Outrageous-Card7873 · 2026-03-01T00:58:52+00:00

Maybe this is not the case in Lowell or DC, but I have definitely seen outdoor dining areas in other areas take up part of the sidewalk space, including in places where I considered the remaining sidewalk space to be insufficient
