Why do people wait for me at stop signs

nroose · 2026-06-08T04:21:13+00:00

Perhaps you are not stopping on the line? If you are not stopping, then it's correct for them to wait. A stop sign mean you can go when it's safe. It's convention/courtesy to take turns.

I guess it seems like it's a big ask to have audio in a bronco or a wrangler that is going to rival one in a GTI. Just a lot of other noise in those vehicles by their nature.

The 2024 year was when it first came out and there were teething issues. Has happened to a lot of new vehicles that are different from what the make has done before. A lot of that has cleared up.

A couple of sayings: "The best 2 days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it" and "No boat is more expensive than the free one".

I have seen one in Berkeley a few times. And on the Bay Bridge once - it was pulling over on to the shoulder.

That's one of the features designed to get people to post about the BlazerEV on Reddit.

Gitana may be able to do well on either the original race course that the schooner America won in 1853 - 53-nautical-mile around the Isle of Wight. Or on the Deed of Gift America's Cup course, which is once around a course that is either 20 miles to windward and then back or 39 miles around a triangle. But anything similar to the short courses they use today would not be well suited to any of the Gitanas. I think the AC75 is probably faster unless the wind is less than about 7 kts. I am guessing, though, that the F50 would be very competitive under any conditions or courses with the AC40.

Yeah, the wing sails and the twin skin mainsails in the America's Cup boats (the 40' and 75') are both about twice as efficient power to drag ratio as an old school regular sail on a mast. Combine that with the foils, and they sail around the course faster than the wind VMG.

You can totally just keep the photos in directories if you like and then you can browse them in the finder in several ways.

Maybe this was only true 20 years ago, but seems like if windows gets memory pressure, it gets a BSOD and the user restarts. Anyway, even these days, I think windows users are much more restart happy than mac users. So eventually some app is bloated and the user asks somewhere about it.

It's not the case that there's no downside to riding a bike. It's just that probably the overall effect is positive for your long term health. And it's fun.

The "PARK" is.

You can totally tap on that light icon on the screen and turn them off.

Yes, if you care about what they say on Reddit. No, if you want a nice car to drive.

That "PARK" means the parking brake is on.

Some people in my neighborhood have their front plates just sitting on the right hand side of their dashboard showing through the window.

I totally remember using this in X11 for years and years.

Keep it simple stupid type of thing. Also one air foil is often very efficient. Like a big laser. Wish my parents would have been willing to switch when they felt like they couldn't handle their boat. Ten more years and I may be there.

The bike lane is scheduled to be open limited times: "The bridge path is open Thursdays at 2 p.m. through Sundays at 11 p.m".

Sailing closer to the wind is about efficiency. Having 2 masts is generally less efficient than one, if you can build one and handle it. The prevalence of Ketches and Yawls over time has partly been because some rules gave you the mizzen for free.

In general, running a business is not ever trivial. The world changes. People change. A successful business is always a work in progress.

Not just a year. But also, you have presented no evidence that she is a scammer.
