Which do you prefer of the 'economy class' albums so to speak. For me Stage Fright takes it but the highs are higher on NLSC
Anyone else seen them? They turned on today and I’ve been stopped every single time bar one, just to let 1-3 cars through that could have just waited a few seconds. Is anyone actually happy about this? It seems to me like we have two scenarios:
No traffic light:
1-3 cars leaving suburb wait like 10 seconds for an opening. 5-20 cars on SC drive at 80 without stopping.
Traffic light:
1-3 cars leaving suburb wait like 5 seconds for the traffic light to go green, assuming it didn’t go green recently. 5-20 cars on SC going 80 have to come to a complete stop, wait like 30 seconds and have to accelerate back up to 80, wasting time and petrol.
This seems completely unnecessary, I’ve never seen backed up traffic at any of these intersections without traffic lights. All these lights are doing is backing up traffic and creating inefficiency.
And they still haven’t fixed the MASSIVE fucking potholes that litter the road.
Edit: okay, so from what I’ve gathered it’s because it’s a crash hotspot. ~100 crashes and 2 deaths in the last ten years. Not gonna try and weigh up the price of one human life against 30 seconds of thousands of lives so I’ll begrudgingly agree with them being there BUT FOR FUCK’S SAKE ACTGOV! COORDINATE THE FUCKERS! THEY’RE LITERALLY LIKE 20 METRES FROM EACH OTHER ON A BUSY 80 ROAD IT SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER THAT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO STOP AT EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.
Not about race. I don’t care. I’m curious about how genetics and melanin work together with environmental factors. So for instance, in one lifetime, take a person born at the equator, with very dark skin and high melanin production from a line of people who all live near the equator, also with very dark skin and high melanin production:
This baby, with very dark skin, is immediately moved to say… idk Canada or Siberia or Sweden or New Zealand or southern Argentina or somewhere really north/south. In that babies lifetime. Say 100 years. How will the babies dark skin/high melanin production change? Will it remain the same? Will it lighten/become less?
Now say the entire population of dark skinned people move to that same place and only mate with each other. Over time, will the melanin production of their offspring, over generations, become lighter/less? And if so how fast?
I also have the same question but in reverse. Light skinned/low melanin baby is moved to the equator, how will its melanin production change over its lifetime? And the same question of a line of light skinned people who move to the equator and only mate with each other.
Hi KW! My wife and I were strolling thru our neighbourhood tonight after dinner and we noticed one of our neighbours had a new flag! There, flapping in the breeze, was the Confederate flag. Brand new - you could see the crease marks on it from being folded in a small bag just days ago, probably. My wife and I stood before it, baffled, for some minutes during which time my wife got right riled up ("it's a symbol of oppression, racism, and white supremacy!") while I did my best not to care because if I care, I'll do something stupid like write a strongly worded letter to the neighbour, or try to steal it.
I eventually dragged my wife away before she convinced to me get angry about it. We hadn't got two houses past when another couple stopped short in front of the flag, one of them asking "what the fuck...?" as he looked around to see if he was on Candid Camera
I gotta admit, I am stumped. Dixie isn't our flag up here, and it's widely regarded as a beacon of hatred. Is my neighbour a racist piece of shit? Is it my civic duty to clue him into the fact he's flying a flag that announces that he just might be an Asshole? Is this flag's meaning lost on us north of the 49th?
I'm not asking this because I'm planning a trip to Norway and I know the northern lights are most common north of the arctic circle, I'm just wondering how many times a year the northern lights can be seen overhead (not just on the horizon) in the region south of Trondheim
