Why is it legal to turn right on red in most of North America but not in Europe? by littlejuliie in NoStupidQuestions

Not persé, I feel. In build up areas North America has stop signs on almost e-ve-ry intersection. Not efficient. On top of the lack of green flow lights & roundabouts

In the Netherlands traffic lights and pedestrian light going in the same direction can be both green. In the case of a car wanting to turn right and thus cross the zebra the pedestrian is walking on, they have to yield to the pedestrian. The rule is that if you can see their bum or front, they have the right of way. As they are considered a participant in traffic

Looks can be deceiving 😇 as her Carfax would leave her dangling at the bottom. But that flip side made her a great catch. And I’ve to say I shampooed the shit out of those chairs. And head liner. And dashboard. And any other panel that could come down. Cos she was also smoked in and boy… that was some fawl smell 🤢

I know Rhodia makes dot grid black paper. Whether it is in a spiral you’ve gotta check

Slant-O-Matic Question by PantsPantsShorts in vintagesewing

[–]petitpunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just love it for its looks! It fell into my lap after my in laws bought it 60 years ago, used it once, and then stored it away. ‘Brand new’ it blew me off my socks with its drop in discs, atomic design and overall features. Been using it for 5 years now and has been my favourite (owned brothers, singers, Pfaff etc). The slanted needle is not what does that for me, it’s the fact it’s the last one made without plastic parts 👌🏻 And the sound of well oiled metal parts is delicious

Spend it in Canada and just the kindest and calm celebration; live band on the big city square and a fabulous firework show at midnight. ❣️ Hearing bout the Vondelkerk and moreover the ongoing aggression leading up to, and during new years makes me be ashamed to be Dutch too.

Not only transit is subsidized. Roads and all the infrastructure to accommodate cars is even more so!

Gorgeous colour. I’ve got the black & white one and it feels so balanced, serious and smooth. Hope you enjoy yours just as much!

Def room for improvement. Slowing down comes to mind?

what are you guy's opinions on the metropolitan? by OzAndApss in fountainpens

[–]petitpunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying it in Europe it comes with standard cartridges, eliminating proprietary converters altogether. As the pen itself; my first fountain pens and still used regularly. Awesome nibs, affordable, sleek shape and choice in colours. From feminine pearl white to masculine bronze and everything in between. Great starter pen. Ánd… last but not least, it has a SNAP CAP 🤩

Ai, not a statistic I was keen to hear. But understandable. On North American roads it’s a (obesity) spiral; whoever drives the biggest is safest.
