    There's a roundabout on my way in to work with a two lane road leading in, right lane for the first exit from the roundabout, left lane for every other one. SO MANY people try to stay in the right lane until the very last minute then merge into the left lane, and I absolutely refuse to let them in.

    Not sure how common this is in other places, but where I’m currently living the roundabout are 95% two lane.

    The outside lane is for either taking the first exit or second exit. The inside lane is for taking the second exit or any subsequent exit. No changing lanes allowed once you’re in the roundabout.

    Yeah, the outside lane is what you would think about if you have two lanes in a normal t-intersection. Right(outside) lane goes straight and right, left(inside) lane goes left.

    It's fine.

    No it doesn't actually have a bank on one of the islands, those are just for pedestrians crossing. The bank is in the Walmart to the South East and it's just buggy.

    In the USA? Left turns basically

    So in my screenshot up there I usually use the inner lane south bound down McCord to go through the inner circle and reach Walmart off of mall drive, though I can also still go straight of I wanted to stay in the center lane continuing down McCord road. The people to my right would be able to turn right onto Hall or continue to the south in the outside lane which I do when I go to Kroger down further south west.

    Basically the inner lane is only for use by people in the center lanes to make left turns.

    I assume that if you're in the middle and reach your exit but there's a car in the outside lane blocking you, you just go around again right?

    I imagine a lot of people full stopping to wait for an opening cause that's what people do here so the time. Can't make the turn/exit this very instant? Don't bother going further ahead and turning around, stop right there and fuck anyone stuck behind you.

    Once you are in the circle you don't yield, people outside the circle have to yield for you, that way they aren't supposed to get blocked up if people are using then right they never do but occasionally you get some weird person who yields from inside because they are stupid.

    There should never be a time when someone exiting from the inside lane has someone on their outside who isn't exiting. One of those people has fucked up if so.

    You just reminded me of my first solo drive when I bought my first car

    It was a brand new bright red Rio and I had never driven in a car by myself before much less all the way home from the dealership I had literally gotten my license a month before that

    It was terrifying!

    Speaking of other scary driving experiences. Going south in i75 from Detroit at like 11pm while night blind and not liking the Michigan interstate speed of 75mph (120kph for smof)

    I was doing like 68 around a curve and a FedEx semi with double trailers passed me on the right

    The most horrifying USAmericano traffic circle I am aware of is one that I have to navigate once every few months, at the heart of the Towson Town Center

    https://youtu.be/NGzchunXtBQ?si=TeG0ZB7Q4Ya-kmWT

    It was designed in the late '90s and is an absolute masterpiece of mindfuckery, though now that I've driven it a dozen or so times it's a tiny bit less awful. Emphasis on tiny bit

    Traffic circles are something you just need to drive on and you realize how to handle them and they make a lot of sense.

    We're getting a diverging diamond near our house to make going to Publix easier.

    Ok so here's the scenario I'm envisioning:

    You are in the left lane and going straight. Someone enters from the right in the right lane and is also going straight. You would have to cross in front of them to take your exit. Is the graphic wrong that both lanes can go straight then?

    we just got one of these on the road that exits out to the interstate. it’s definitely alleviated traffic a bit compared to the original way the road and exit was set up

    that roundabout infographic is a work of pure fantasy. the issue with roundabouts at least in america is that every other car is your adversary, whether you want it or not, and you cannot trust that they also know the rules

    it humorously grays out a real problem which is the oncoming gray car for the red car left exit can be any size and any speed, you have to either turn right in front of this car and hope they yield without stroking out in a fit of rage OR you have to just stop in the middle of the roundabout and wait for clearance, which will fuck everything up for everyone if there's any traffic volume at all, which is exactly what this contraption purports to solve

    My only complaint is that they've been working on it for the entire three years I've lived at this house.

    The second person should be giving way and not entering the roundabout until the first person has gone past

    I got a new mattress and last night was the first night I slept on it.

    I didn’t sleep well but that was all mental.

    Physically I feel almost no pain waking up and that’s a first in quite a while.

    Yeah it took us a few weeks to get used to our new mattress and bedframe, but goddamn when we did it was a literal life changer.

    Last night I had went to bed early and had an excellent evening of sleep.

    But that slumber was filled with a nightmare in which I was being hunted by a cult of vampires on a college campus.

    That cult of vampires? It was lead by Elaine Carroll.

    Lot of celebrities showing in my dreams of late!

    I'm one of the younger active forumers, and I just turned 30. This forum essentially caps out with the end of the millennial generation, and I'm only like 2-3 years off the hard cutoff for that dividing line. I'm older than my parents were when I was born, too

    In the last 9 months or so I've also finally been throwing myself into actively maintaining my physical fitness that I'd taken for granted most of the last three decades, because one of my indirect complications from long CoVID was early-onset Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, that was becoming the early stages of steatehepatitis. If I didn't turn that shit around my life expectancy would be something like 45-55 before succumbing to cirrhosis. So I moved from the suburbs into a walkable part of the city two miles from my job and mash a fixed-gear bike to work as many days of the week as I can get away with, plus I've got a very expensive gym membership that eats like 6% ef my income in exchange for having a personal trainer holding me accountable to a minimum of 8 sessions per month.

    The NAFLD is already in some degree of remission and I've lost about 16 pounds from my peak weight (along with recomping something like 7-10 pounds of fat as muscle mass), but keeping it in remission is gonna be a lifelong dedication to staying fit and eating reasonably cleanly. So, although I've had to reckon with the passage of time a lot earlier than I'd have liked, it's proven to be some degree of accelerationism for actively working on myself in a far greater degree than I have at basically any time since my freshman year of college or so.

    I'm pretty optimistic for my thirties at large honestly
