I would ask her if we can arrest and prosecute whoever thought traffic circles/roundabouts were a good idea

well where i live it's roundabout central..there's this one road where there are 4 roudabouts in a miles distance..for some reason they're really huge on them here but they're small; schuylaar would always let the tractor trailer first because navigating that shit didn't need any drivers cutting in around them like the morons of Colorado do because they got in first and say fvck you to mr. tractor/trailer!

I wish every driver was polite like you

I'll tell you how I navigate roundabouts in this big ass truck, I approach slowly and hit my 4 ways on and get in both lanes I TAKE THE WHOLE FKN ROAD so these morons can't cut inside of my trailer.

People absolutely go ballistic when I do that, but I don't care. They act like I'm commiting murder by making them lose 30 seconds of their life waiting for me to get through

I hate roundabouts

We have a lot of roundabouts where I live too and all the big rigs do what you do. It doesn’t bother me or most people and like @schuylaar I yield to the trucks.

My nephew is a city planner and he told me that studies have found that city traffic moves a lot faster with roundabouts compared to traffic lights.

next time you're in No. Colorado and see a female clicking her beams for you, it's me..I let you take both lanes (blocking those behind me by straddling the lanes too so no one can get around and it pisses the Trumpers off..since there's literally no room? I make them make room and won't let them pass until your safe.

i had read that as well and it is true this way you don't have to wait for lights..but there are roundabouts and then there are roundabouts..the ones in florida and NJ are huge maybe like a mile circumference or so; in Colorado you can fit six cars bumper to bumper, so when you have a big rig coming off the interstate (and that's where many are located) there's no room for them to manuever.

Dude rolls into the Politics section and is shocked to find people discussing politics and having opinions different than his. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Trump voter taking a break from calling people snowflakes to clutch his pearls. Good riddance, snowflake.

i've got a little pet peeve about self checkout:twisted:..and on the rare occassion i get an ass who needs to reset and the machine keeps telling me to move faster and i'm fucking up by not putting the weighted item on their bag/scale combo..schuylaar simply tells them 'if you want an employee you need to hire them and that it is completely understood how this company uses me as an employee while raising the cost of everything- then for those exceptional they have a count at the end if they think you're stealing.' SHOPPING IS NOT A PLEASURE HERE.

Fvcking Nazis!

the roundabouts in beantown are the originals from 1776- no car or rigs.

the sidewalks here in CO are literally 2' wide..were people that little back then? you would have to be really skinny to pass by each other and didn't they wear big layers of clothing? if you put a stroller or baby carriage on it, it would take the whole sidewalk.

The actor’s name is Mike Smith and the show is Trailer Park Boys. The show was filmed in Nova Scotia and yes, the glasses are a prop.

I think the series is on Crave or one of the other streaming platforms. It’s funny as hell.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett ruled in favor of a major donor to her confirmation battle without explaining her ties to the plaintiff.

The Americans for Prosperity Foundation sued over a California law requiring charitable organizations to disclose the identities of their major donors to the state attorney general's office, but Barrett not only declined to recuse herself from the case -- she also vigorously took part in oral arguments and joined the majority opinion without addressing questions about her involvement, reported The American Prospect.

"There is no mechanism to force a justice to adhere to the Court's own prior rulings in their ethical conduct, or to hold them accountable for failing to do so," wrote columnist Steven Lubet. "Self-regulation, in other words, does not work. In fact, it creates an essential imbalance, as those justices who conscientiously follow recusal practices take themselves out of cases, while those with no such concerns do not."

The Koch-funded advocacy group publicly committed more than $1 million promoting Barrett's confirmation weeks before Donald Trump lost his re-election bid, and the newly minted justice was personally alerted to that backing in a letter from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) calling on her to recuse herself from the case.

The senators detailed efforts by Americans for Prosperity to secure Barrett's confirmation and pointed out that federal law provides that a Supreme Court justice is disqualified in any case where her "impartiality might reasonably be questioned."

The test outlined in the statute does not require evidence of bias, but only the showing of circumstances where a judge's "impartiality could reasonably be doubted," but Barrett never responded to the senators' letter or acknowledged their question about her involvement in the case, which the court found 6-3 in her donor's favor.

"It has been the Supreme Court's 'historic practice' to leave recusal questions to the determination of each individual justice, rather than submit them to the full court," Lubet wrote. "The unfortunate consequence of that approach is fully evident in this instance, where Justice Barrett has seemingly disregarded both a federal statute and a previous SCOTUS decision."
