Q: What is the best way(s) to deal with traffic in a highway's entrance/exit?

0

Every highway's entrance or exit is causing traffic problem. As you can see, there is a small road that immediately goes in the large road. What is the best way(s) to deal with traffic in a highway's entrance/exit? Is there something I'm doing wrong with the highway on the picture?

Top 10 Reasons To Hate Trump:

#6: he's forcing me to vote for Hillary Clinton

12:48 AM

This isn't a main-site type question

@GraceNote I do.

Mostly for Dark Souls 1, somewhat for 2, none for 3

Tell me about mushrooms.

@Wipqozn should. he is one of the top users for the tag

@Dragonrage nah @Wipqozn is the worst at dark souls

oh hi @Studoku

long time no see

12:50 AM

and @murgatroid99 too. if @GnomeSlice cant

@Studoku hai there

@GraceNote In the forest area?

@GodEmperorDune Based on preliminary knowledge this makes him even more adept at getting impressions

They're guarding some optional loot, and the small ones probably won't even attack you if you don't mess with them.

I have basically the opposite knowledge order as GnomeSlice. I've been playing DS3 recently, I played a lot of DS2, and I didn't finish DS1

the big ones can probably oneshot you

12:51 AM

Mmhmm

the way to counter things that one shot you is to one shot them first

@Dragonrage or evade

Or wear stronger armor

Or use a shield

I was reading up a thing and then in a discussion on the thing, this image was linked and it made me curious.

offense is the best defense. evading or getting better armor is cowardly. unless the armor looks cool, then its okay

12:53 AM

@Dragonrage "cowardly" is a really stupid word to apply to a video game

@Dragonrage time to git gud

@murgatroid99 you should say "git gud" instead, yah

@GodEmperorDune YOU

@murgatroid99 hmm, maybe.

@GodEmperorDune you git gud by killing them first

:P

Seriously though, one of the major issues I see with the Dark Souls community is the "Everyone who doesn't play my way is bad/a coward/doing it wrong" attitude people have

It's a video game, not some sort of sacred ritual

@murgatroid99 well ive never played it. i just like killing things

12:56 AM

bongo play best play

@Dragonrage It just bothers me when the immediate reaction to someone using an actually viable strategy is to insult or demean them

huh, huge steam update

And in Dark Souls, just attacking without dodging, shields, or armor is absolutely not a viable strategy unless you have a ton of experience

@murgatroid99 i wasnt trying to demean, them, just more of making a joke.

@Frank aww damn that sucks

And his funeral is tomorrow.

That makes my problem of a lack of reservation for dinner seem miniscule.. it's all about perspective.

@Frank :(

Lung cancer. Super super fast.

Just last month he was dancing and laughing.

@Frank Sucks. I had a cousin with lung cancer. From first symptom to death was 3 weeks. Scary as hell.

@TimS. I know the feeling.

@TimS. A large reason why I sought a job change was this.

That and, as Frank knows, SharePoint was doing a grand job finishing off my spirit from what was left.

@GraceNote Sharepoint killed me. Such a shitty platform.

I hope that new place you're looking at doesn't involve any of it

1:12 AM

Ewww, I haaaaate SharePoint.

@Frank yeah its pretty bad

@GraceNote I'm totally open to everything right now.

Dark Souls: Mushroom Stamped

Looking forward to just having some time off.

I set up a really nice mediawiki environment with redundancy and all that at my last job. The execs decided that SharePoint was a better solution since it had "enterprise support". Never mind the fact that everyone had to go to freakin training in order to use the damn thing.

1:13 AM

even NSA has an internal MediaWiki environment

I use Emacs org-mode (and org2html) for the majority of my documentation that isn't code-related

(If I remember the movie citizenfour correctly)

@GnomeSlice Ohho

the only good thing about sharepoint is the MS office integration. pretty much everything else is terrible

@GodEmperorDune I don't think you should use "Share Point" and "good thing" in the same sentence. That's like saying the black plague was a good thing because it reduced overpopulation.

@GodEmperorDune Public pay-to-use bikes. A day pass can allow you unlimited use of the bikes for a day. But each 'ride' can only be 30 min before returning it to another Citibike station (it's something like $4 for each 15 minutes over the 30 minute allowance).

@JourneymanGeek and school ends in 5 days. They just don't give us a break :)

That's terrible

Also it is flowing people into chat

(It is ~10PM in US too, weird)

Naw, someone flagging stuff did ;p

>_>

(man, this is a rather quiet mod flood)

flagging? weird

2:56 AM

and I'm not in the US

I saw some people from US join hence I asked

ah

I mean it's only 8pm here

I'm GMT +8

Hello @JourneymanGeek

2:57 AM

you damn americans and your multiple timelines. Turkey is %100 GMT+3.

From east to west

So I share timezones with asean (naturally), except when I don't, parts of china, and... parts of russia (some of the time) 0_0

I think we have 5 time zones. Maybe more.

And some of us use day lights saving and some don't.

ah, yeah. Half of turkey doesn't have daylight saving (they're lucky)

There's very little that's less standard than timezones ;)

(except power)

Because you never need to know what time it is somewhere else in the world. Just where you are

2:59 AM

I don't know that sometimes either

Though I think Australia made a new time zone for a couple of weeks for the olympics iirc

wat

also woo first all-nighter of the year

worst time to do all-nighters is when you have school (so you can't sleep in the day) and you can't drink coffee (ramadan).

@spugsley congrats!

Depending on your timeframe, I may end up passing through once you're settled in later this summer!

We'll probly be moving out sometime mid July most likely. It's going to take a bit to get settled though, I imagine

@spugsley got back in time just for the election. Also congrats on the house and move.

@spugsley I'm talking August-September

@spugsley gonna be working in Alaska in July-August and I suspect (though this part hasn't been written into the plans) driving back cross country rather than flying.

@Dragonrage apartment* sadly :( We're trying to sell our house. Goodbye homeowning, hello one bedroom teeny tiny apartment double our mortgage

@Lazers2.0 I mean, they probably got it right that it's a scam

@Ronan ok

What platform is it on?

Ronan

@fredley The first seasons are on Netflix I believe.

The ones airing now are on CBS.

@Ronan Neat

@Ronan You should totally watch The Honourable Woman, also on Netflix

It's amazing

10/10 drama on a par with The Night Manager

Possibly even better

@fredley I've heard I need to watch that as well.

@KevinvanderVelden If people want to fast I don't really mind - people do it for lots of non-religious reasons too. Forcing it on kids though is insane. Got a friend who teaches primary in a mostly muslim area, has kids fainting quite regularly because they can't get through the day.

Yeah, do whatever you want to yourself. Don't force it on your children

I've not heard my sister talking about kids fainting yet (she teaches 11 year olds, there's one white kid in her class)

For some reason Google Maps thinks that I'm looking for directions to Dover, UK whenever I search for Dover, and not the district that share the same name in Singapore

@PrivatePansy Haha, the idea of Dover, Singapore is very odd

I mean, #Empire

It's not surprising (see also new york and such)

@KevinvanderVelden Yup

10:08 AM

To be fair, most major towns/cities on the East Coast of the US have similar names to UK Cities

The district just to the south of here is Clementi, named after a British Lord. The National University of Singapore I study in is built on Kent Ridge. Just three subway stops after Dover is Queenstown, a district named after the Queen

@PrivatePansy Yeah, we Empire'd Singapore pretty hard

Fun thing to think about, the UK is more northerly than any US State except Alaska

Singapore never has, as far as I can tell. There are still places called Somerset, Mount Elizabeth, and King Albert Park, and Admiralty

Also we never kicked them out

We're the red headed step child of nation states

so we never really had the strong cultural/nationalistic streak many other places had

How did the British treat Singapore as part of the empire? I assume poorly like most other places, but if their treatment was good then they may not have needed that nationalist streak

@SGR We were pretty well treated. Administrative capital for a ton of places

The elections feels a lot longer when there's no primary.

KutuluMike

probably because the actual election phase is a lot longer when there's no primary?

we weren't going to have a primary on SF/F until I think the day before the nomination phase ended.

there were 10 people, one of whom had < 500 rep and no one had ever heard of him.

and at the last minute someone threw their name in, so we had a primary where it was a foregone conclusion who was getting eliminated.

Wipqozn

@KutuluMike well, yes. I meant the entire thing, though.

Just in the normal way you normally have a lot more activity going on throughout. normally the first few days of each phase has activity, it slows down. but it only two phases you get this long stretch without much activity.
