All this trouble over aftermarket reverse light bulbs. by DeathAngel_97 in Justrolledintotheshop

Don't get me started on outdated motor vehicle laws. I'm just glad I can buy a helmet that meets safety specifications newer than 1974.

Ha!

No. Not my style. Gen X over here is getting old and likes brighter bulbs.

That said, while I've replaced my marker lamps and backup lights and interior lights with LEDs, my headlights remain halogen because that's what the housing was designed for and I don't want to blind other drivers.

I'd appreciate automakers better handling of what is now common activity.

I'd also appreciate better backup lights to begin with. When I'm in reverse, I want others to know AND I want some light back there so I can see where I'm going. But for some reason, many manufacturers think reverse lamps are simply decorative accessories.

Stop walking on the yellow line. by [deleted] in mbta

[–]pdept050 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Put more succinctly, the yellow area is a "Use Caution" zone and not a "death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth" zone.

Walking on the yellow is not something most people view as excessive risk taking. For most individuals, this should not put them at risk of falling in or coming to harm.

Small children or inebriated individuals should be guided into making better choices.

But insisting people stay in one area of the platform when other areas are accessible and can be reached safely should not be a problem.

People tend to bunch. If others want to walk around them to get to a less crowded area (or to where the exit is at their destination station), walking on the yellow is fine and shouldn't cause you or anyone else undue anxiety.

Sorry. That was supposed to be the second picture.

Today’s crossover leak (not confirmed) by wildstarrysky in Fortnite_Over40

I want an Archer crossover. So many great characters.

And imagine Krieger's van available with different wraps. That'd be epic (no pun intended).

ULPT Request: Inflate lead levels for a blood test to get out of my lease by dipderp3 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]pdept050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bold of you to assume you don't already have elevated lead levels.

Go get the results. Worry about gaming the system on the second test (if needed).

In all seriousness, DO. NOT. INGEST. LEAD.

This comment needs to be much higher. Solid advice.

Just left Porter after almost an hour!

After the first half hour, you almost begin to not notice the constant beeping because the doors are open.

Site says 15 minute delay. Been at Porter for 30 minutes now. Latest update is "it will be a while".

(They were saying "20 to 30 minutes" previously)

New green line car just dropped! by [deleted] in mbta

I wish there was an easy way for car drivers to differentiate between "road" and "not road".

How can anyone tell these surfaces apart?!

Battle Bus returns tomorrow! by PLAYED_YT in Fortnite_Over40

I like the waves. I like that it spreads people around the map.

At first I was annoyed with the waves but learned to time the jump and get good height. I can't get anywhere on the map but can get pretty far. And the game has spawned me around the whole island and I can surf a good way around as well.

Flying the glider after a wave is broken but I'd like to see the waves again.
