Sorry about that, I didn't hear the whole podcast. *sheepish*
...
Two years ago, I was driving on a highway, and I slowed down to turn left onto a sidestreet. The woman behind me drives an inch off my bumber, starts honking, and then, just before I begin to make my (signalled) turn, she PASSES me on the left. I was dumbfounded.
She flipped me off as well.
Most hard rock and metal bands have between 8 and 10 songs on an album, since most of those songs are at least 5 minutes in length.
The only bands I can think of that have 6 or fewer tracks on a full-length album are prog bands. Dream Theater released a double album that, technically, has only 6 tracks on it.
So yeah. You were both wrong about that.
EDIT: To make this relevant to driving, New Jersey sucks. And I don't even drive.
What do you guys think about roundabouts anyway? Is it true all American drivers are afraid of them? (j/k).
I don't think Americans are afraid of them, per se, but they simply have no idea how to navigate them.
I prefer divided highways with turnabouts in the medians, but these types of roads have their own problems and, more importantly, cannot be easily installed where roads already exist.
Here are some guidelines for driving in the rain:
1) The roads are more slippery when it is raining. It takes people longer to stop. This means DON'T CUT PEOPLE OFF IN THE RAIN YOU ARSEHOLE!
2) Visibility is decreased when it is raining. The sky is darker, sometimes there is fog. Somewhere in your car is a switch that turns those big lights on the front of your car on. Use it. Let me repeat myself FUCKING USE IT! Especially if you have a grey car and you are planning on being a dickhead on the road.
Thank you.
I have a choice to make in half a year, do I want a new awesome computer, or do I want a drivers license? (for my birthday)
If I pick the computer, I don't have a license. It might take a while before I get it... however, I rarely use the car, and I have no need for it...
(only saying it because it's somewhat related)
Congratulations, you must live in one of those countries where driver's licences actually cost money. This is both awesome and sucky. Sucky for you because you have to make this decision. Awesome for your country because it does keep some, but not all, idiots off the road.
That's just for the actual licence, though - To actualy do the test, most people do it in their driving instructor's car, which is usualy an extra hundred bucks, along with the cost of the test, plus the $30 booking fee, that is non-refundable if you cancel your booking before the test.
Lastly - you have to renew your licence reasonably often, but the price varies, depending on if you want to get it renewed for one year, three years, or five years.
My family is in a rural area. Thus, drivers take on the curvy back-roads at break neck speeds. Our highway has such a high death rate that the police cracked down on speeders a few months ago.
At school I don't drive so much as take public transit--what little there is in Los Angeles. But I must say, Wilshire Blvd. is a death trap. In much of Los Angeles there are no left turn signals, so those who need to make left turns are incredibly aggressive. So, when innocent little me crosses the street one day to visit my sick grandmother--hand on heart, true story--some idiot takes me out while trying to make a left turn. Not that I know the full details. I only know what the police report says since I didn't see the car coming and was knocked unconscious.
The total cost here is about $2500, depending on how fast you learn. That's a pretty cool computer right there.
Also you can't drive your own car on your exam. renewing the licenses is the same though.
(btw, I live in the Netherlands)
