I haven't driven through and noticed the crosswalk signals enough times to be sure, but, I haven't yet had a trip through that would disprove the hypothesis that they are.

If I pull forward into the intersection, wait for oncoming traffic to clear, then wheel around and turn left, this is what I see. And if those lights are red, I stop, and I believe that is correct. My initial reasoning was: "Why would the city put in a second set of lights, that you couldn't...

It's a six-way intersection with seven pairs of lights and five crosswalks. What about that is confusing? I just drove through it again on my way to work, and believe I have the definitive answer.

It's the same a bit further down at the intersection with Hollywood Way. Here a car is turning left. If the lights that are visible above the "Sizzler" sign on the left side of the picture are red, should he stop at the crosswalk or continue through? Here's the view after the car turns. The...

Pretty good day of polling for Trump in the swing states. Looking at the RealClearPolitics averages of the swing states, they have Trump ahead in FL and GA. Hillary's lead is 3.5 or less in PA, OH, NC and NH. Plugging that into an Electoral map, if Trump can "move the needle" 3.5 points in...

:shrug: Easier to look at the picture than explain it I guess. It's certainly a weird intersection.  I've got my opinion but other drivers don't seem to agree. 

Is there a way to sign out of the cloud on pc?  And, can leagues be removed? I set up one to test but don't really need it. 

This is pretty difficult to describe, because this road is weird. There's a road in Burbank, CA which is a double-road. It's not a divided highway; a divided highway has the different travel directions separated by a median. On this road, there is traffic in both directions on both sides of the...

Just be careful how you store all your potatoes.

My thought was go say it takes 150,000 signatures to get in office, and you can collect up to, say 175k. That way, 25,000 people could disagree with you and pull their support, but you'd still keep the job. Drop 25,001, though, and you're booted for the next-highest supported candidate...

Get a bag of potatoes.  Boil a few in a pot, with at least an inch of water above them, for 15 to 18 minutes after the water starts to boil.  Refrigerate them overnight.  THEN, do whatever with them. Once you pull them out of the fridge you can make wedges, cubes, hash, "fries", whatever. 

I think we should get rid of districts entirely. Allot, say, 1000 seats in the House, and fill them by petition. Each registered voter can sign on to one petition. Anyone who runs for office who gets 150,000 signatures or whatever it takes to be in the top thousand gets a seat. Let the voters...

Are you serious?  You seriously want laws to dictate who can bang who?  Dude. Consenting adults. Unless they're having an orgy in front of the kids, none of your #### business.  What if it was a gay couple? Would you want them fired for being gay? Because, really, there's no difference here. 

Let's just legalize The Purge. It's not that bad an idea really. Let the poors have their day, thin the herd, and the rest of us can move on from there. 

I've never even noticed a pearl Jam thread.
