Thank you and bitch are much closer. At least the way I learned bullshit involved two hands.

I was going to make a facetious comment like, "Yes, comrade. There is no illicit drug use in China thanks to 100% effective policy and the people's commitment to their patriotic duty."

Then I read the other comments and didn't want to look like just another shill for China. I count USA whataboutism as shilling since no one asked.

This article mentions scientific studies that support its myriad factual claims but doesn't cite any of them. There is a lot of low-quality, tentative research about the health benefits of various diets. A serious discussion would need to include the limitations of such studies for the food in question.

This post seems to have little to do with science at best. At worst it invokes pseudoscience "superfood" health nonsense.

Good thing the preppers posted those locations.

Just flip left and right. But not the pedals. Brake is still on the left. And don't flip the windshield wiper and turn indicator sticks. Unless in Oz.

Lois Lane would be resurrected and unburied by rocks if there had been an earthquake caused by a nuclear strike shortly before this happened.

I try to keep my zen while driving, and mostly I just suffer from road depression instead of rage. I get road depression because driving forces you to interact with many people, and you begin to realize the high fraction of people with serious mental impairment.

I try to put myself in their shoes, but the most charitable explanations for some driving behaviors are i) distraction - usually from cell phones - and ii) not thinking about the consequences of a behavior on others.

One of my pet peeves is drivers who perpetually drive on the right edge (for right side driving countries) of the lane / in the bike lane. When someone in front of them turns right to leave the road, they do not know how to go around them because the left side of the lane is a no-go zone. That means the whole lane has to stop. When they stop at a red light, no cars can pass them on the right to make a legal turn. They might acknowledge this by pulling forward more, as if that helps. Then when they get to the next intersection, the same thing happens again! Like, HAVE YOU NEVER TURNED RIGHT ON A RED YOURSELF? DO YOU NOT KNOW YOU SHOULD GET AS FAR LEFT AS POSSIBLE IN THE RIGHT LANE WHEN COMING TO A RED LIGHT? HOW DO YOU FUNCTION IN THE WORLD WHILE SO BLISSFULLY UNAWARE?

Oops. Lost my zen.

Yes. You have to adjust your speed so you have time to react for both you and the tailgater.

They have very good brakes and reaction times in Austria, because pretty much every car tailgates there, even if they don't go very fast after passing you.
