lol if you're confused about why they removed that feature you should see this discussion about removing the context menu from tabs
Oh, no
Sorry, I can't read. It's just removing items from that menu. That's fair
@Yuuki That other guy didn't even flinch when his buddy took a fireball to the face. Damn that's cold
 
@TimStone Well, the buddy was a woman so maybe to him, she was quite hot?

WOO OUR TINY LITTLE TOWN MINOR LEAGUE TEAM IS ABOUT TO PROBABLY GET MURDERED BY THE CHICAGO FIRE ON ESPN1
 
@Yuuki actually i don't think there is any way you can do that without setting your face on fire, aside from digging the hole and getting away from it
 
@Memor-X Digging at an angle pointed at your face doesn't help though.

How to get your email instantly deleted: 1) subject line "fwd: MAGA"
Literally why
 
@Unionhawk ???
 
@Unionhawk One of the contractors I got a quote from to finish my basement sent me pro-Trump emails from his company's email. They were addressed to me and a bunch of other people whose email addresses started with m like mine, I guess other lucky clients.
I didn't wind up going with him.
 
My dad apparently just forwarded me a Mike Pence email
I don't understand why because like no

@Yuuki reminds me of the time we have one of these explode into face of a friend.

Me: votes to close question, post comment indicating why it's off-topic and a link to the list pointing out the list item (which happens to suggest posting on Games Dev)
Asker: posts comment saying it still about games and thus on-topic. deletes question. undeletes question. deletes comment. post comment with sarcastic tone saying "well geez, thanks for at least acknowledging I couldn't put this on the other site or at least given me an answer.

I'm curious: how many Bridgers have married since the Bridge started? How many have spawned a new process? How many have died?
 
@Nzall At least 3, at least 2 and I have no idea.
 
Hopefully 0
 
Latest marriage coutns for two, because both people involved in it use the Bridge (in different frequencies though)
 
@WorldEngineer doesn't even autocomplete any more :(
 
@KevinvanderVelden I need an suggested time of arrival for saturday. Or is that noted in discord and do I just need to log the hell in.

I think that was never answered, 2 in the afternoon-ish as a proposal?

@KevinvanderVelden Sounds good to me. I'll probably poke you tomorrow for a location again. Since I have the memory of a strawberry when it comes to those things.

Like you're not even pretending to care that people's lives will end or be ruined due to no universal Healthcare
 
@badp wait wut
why are there no road markings on that road o_O?
 
10:52 AM
@djsmiley2k because it's instructional material on what would happen if there were no road markings on the road
it's essentially the default behaviour
 
11:10 AM
@badp you're using public transport right? If you want to be a bit earlier I can come pick you up at driebergen station
@badp yes, if all things are equal then right has right of way
 
@KevinvanderVelden ...and the default is a pretty stupid one
this almost never happens
 
Every 30 kph zone
 
you would have to put at least a ┡ signal there for the car C to understand what's going on
 
All car c has to do is look to the right, see there is a road user coming from there and let them pass first
 
or a ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ strip
 
11:13 AM
@badp nope, if that's there then they have to give way to everyone, including left
 
car C thinks they're going straight and the intersection has absolutely nothing to do with them
 
@badp in what country?
here, the car has priority
 
@badp They're crossing the intersection
Of course the intersection has everything to do with them =p
 
so the bus should wait.
as the bus is interupting the flow of traffic, on both lanes
 
yes. I understand that technically there's nothing special about what car C is doing
 
11:14 AM
I'm really getting into five finger death punch
 
but in virtually all such T intersections in the real world, car C would go straight and car H would wait.
 
@djsmiley2k they're not bad
 
I would expect car H to yield.
 
@badp I would expect to be hit on the side by the large bus that gives no fucks
 
the kind of vehicles there is just a distraction
 
11:17 AM
Anyway, the situation where there is no "main" road that has preference are really only in 30km/h zones over here, where one of the defining features of such roads is that everyone is equal
Every main road has one of those 45 deg rotated square signs (yellow with white border) indicating that everyone else has to yield to them
 
@badp Yeah, but that's just default right of way. That's the case in any country that has a road rules of conduct
 
@KevinvanderVelden right, but I still find this default behaviour surprising and upsetting
and indeed it's very rare
I can only think of one instance of this in the streets I've driven, and it's an accident hotspot
despite the supporting horizontal signage
 
I was pair programming with a coworker 3 minutes ago. He had a glass at the corner of his desk. Key word: HAD
now the glass is shrapnel in the garbage bin
We would have thrown it into the glass for recycling, but we never use glass bottles or jars, so we don't have something for that
 
11:33 AM
@badp if there are white triangles on the road the default behaviour doesn't apply
 
@KevinvanderVelden the supporting horizontal signage effectively doesn't change the way the intersection works
 
But also go to any 30kph zone =p
 
it's a T intersection where the traffic going → has to yield to the traffic going ↑
 
@badp in your pic, if H had signage, it would have to yield to B and C wouldn't have to yield to H
Ooh C has signage? Then yeah it doesn't effectively change anything because you don't have to yield to the car going the other way
 
@badp generally from my studies H would have to give way but ofcause in all the intersections like that in real life H would have Give Way Signs.
but given the names of B and H i can assume the real problem is the monkey in C
 
@KevinvanderVelden in effect this just puts the B-H-C ordering on the tarmac
 
That's a stop sign the blurred thing right?
So we're going from the POV of H, meaning that it has to wait on both C and B, and C doesn't have to wait at all
 
@KevinvanderVelden no, because C also has a give way.
reminder
1 hour ago, by badp
user image
if you give H a stop, C a give way, and mark the main street as going from B to H, you effectively have the exact same intersection that behaves exactly the same way as a T intersection without any marking
 
H has to stop completely so C can go before them
 
11:39 AM
@KevinvanderVelden no
 
Eh, C and B have right of way, no?
 
H has priority over C
according to the tarmac, that's because C is merging in the street
 
This is a weird junction
 
look at the diagram above
 
That doesn't look like a slip road, and usually there's a give way / yield sign
 
11:40 AM
H has a free right
C has H on their right
so H goes before C
it's EXACTLY the same
 
THE SOLUTION IS ROUNDABOUTS
3
 
@fredley -1 not enough magic
 
@fredley roundabouts are great and do all the things
 
H. C and B all do a little pirouette and carry on without stopping.
 
The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, was constructed in 1972 and consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged around a sixth central, anticlockwise roundabout. Located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C., its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout. In 2009 it was voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain, in a poll by Britannia Rescue. == History == === Concept === The roundabout was constructed according to the design of Frank Blackmore, of the British Transport and Road Research Laboratory. Traffic flow around the larger, in...
 
11:41 AM
@fredley no the solution is no monkey driver and using magic self driving cars
 
@PrivatePansy yesssssssssss
 
or H can release a chicken
 
@badp it's... complicated in practice but yeah pretty much
 
@fredley they're fine, but only on smaller roads, because they slow traffic
 
@KevinvanderVelden idd
 
11:42 AM
The complication is that H has to come to a complete stop so if you're both going approaching from the same distance it's weirdness
 
The order C, H and B go depends completely on road markings, which are absent from this diagram
Who posted this shitty puzzle?
I bet it was @badp
 
@fredley there are no road markings in the situation
 
@fredley it's from a driving book that explains to you what happens WITHOUT road markings. because it is possible that there aren't any.
 
Everyone is equal
 
and even without road markings the rules of the right of way still apply
and in this case they're pretty upsetting
 
@badp It looks like a standard T junction, in which case traffic on the 'head' of the T have right of way
 
@PrivatePansy except not
 
@PrivatePansy nope
If everyone is equal, yield to the traffic on the right
 
a car coming from the right here has precedence on you
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hmmm, I only remember that applies for cross junction
 
11:46 AM
A few junctions further there's the same thing
 
@badp you'd have to have really pedantic drivers for someone to actually let that person go, unless they're just being nice
 
But maybe my memory is wrong.
 
This is standard fare for any 30kph zone in the dutchlands
 
@Chippies works pretty much all the time here tbh
 
The roads here are really well marked, so you usually won't have ambiguities like these
 
11:46 AM
@Chippies a colleague on a bike was almost run over on a similar situation
 
@Chippies if you're trying to pass a drivings test and you don't do it you don't pass =p
 
she thought she would have the right of way because she was going straight
 
@PrivatePansy 30kph zone is basically a "living area" intended to discourage people from driving there except if they need to go to a place in the zone (i.e. no shortcuts where people live). Having to drive carefully and yield everywhere includes that
 
@KevinvanderVelden people learn for the test, pass it and then never do what they learned
 
@KevinvanderVelden This is standard fare for every road in Belgium if there is no signage indicating otherwise.
 
11:48 AM
Everywhere else is marked to all hell, but to know you're in a 30kph zone where kids play and you have to drive carefully they a: place signs and b: don't mark things
 
^ how the next US Presidential Election will go
 
@Arperum the lack of markings/signage is standard for 30kph zones is what I meant =p
 
lucky bastards. you get salted nuts
 
The rule is applicable everywhere of course, it just doesn't happen often
 
@KevinvanderVelden We don't have that. Even our carparks have markings. They made the side of the roads curved to slow drivers down
 
11:49 AM
Since it's Belgium, there are frequently places where it's not marked. Even if that means giving right of way to a car coming out of a tiny sideroad when driving 70 kph.
 
@Arperum :100:
you need more of these guys:
 
@Arperum fortunately that is very rare here =p
 
@Arperum wouldn't that imply that the car going 70kph is on the main road and has the right way?
 
(I can't recall one)
 
11:50 AM
 
Those ^ everywhere
 
Is that a 'square dancers ahead' warning sign?
 
That is a "you have the right of way" sign
 
@Chippies Not necessary. A lot of roads give you main road right of way, through the sign posted by @badp. But not everywhere.
 
Ah. We usually have the opposite.
 
11:51 AM
@PrivatePansy we have both, MOAR SIGNS
Also (implicitly) indicates whether you are in or out of city limits (inside = sign before junction, outside = sign after junction)
 
@PrivatePansy you need both really, because the cars on the tiny sidestreets can't know you're merging into a street that has that in effect
 
@KevinvanderVelden Dutch city limits are super vague.
 
@Arperum there are signs explicitly stating it =p
(sure, there's like 3 different types of signs for the same thing but meh)
 
Although, not everywhere itn Belgium it's a good idea to take your right of way if coming from a sideroad. Some places just take it, others never do.
 
Car Swimming Pool ahead
 
11:54 AM
@badp H is on the right relative to C, B is on the right to H, so B is first, H second and C last
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, half of them look like they are just saying "welcome to place" That sort of signs holds no value at all for traffic in Belgium. We have specific signs for city limits.
 
@MadScientist yes. And that's not at all what I'd do.
 
four examples of city limit signs
 
look at you putting city pictures in your city signals
 
Sign of location, holds no value when driving.
 
11:58 AM
@badp If there are no road markings, carefully drive to a civilised country that has them
 
@badp Yes, that was to force cities to replace the signs that were super old.
 
 
why would you need any road markings on a simple intersection like that?
 
@badp is that somewhere in China?
 
Italian laws actually forbids customizing those signs
 
11:58 AM
AT this point signs without the city pictures on them have lost any value.
 
which means everyone stuffs as much crap in those signs as possible
 
@badp It's not custom, they are required to be like the above pictures. Everyone has the same city picture on it.
 
We just paint lines on the road to indicate who has right of way, much cheaper to maintain than signs
 
@fredley and we can't nick em :(
 
11:59 AM
@fredley Pretty much.
 
The moment the old signs without fake-skyline became invalid a couple cities were officially not city centers for a week or so...
