On the grand totem pole of vehicular douchery, sitting in a space you can legally use for longer than you strictly NEED to doesn't amount to much.

Negromancer posted:The one that kills me are the intersections where it is perfectly legal to turn left, but you are completely loving up traffic if you do. There is one intersection (80th and 3rd NW for Seattle people) where it is a very busy street, but also rather narrow(one Lane each way and no room for parked cars on the street) but busy enough that if you try to turn left you are going to block traffic till the light goes yellow. Never drive in Vancouver then.

I love Vancouver BC, but gently caress trying to drive in that city. I usually just take the train up, but if I do drive, I go straight to my hotel and leave the car there.

Jesus christ that was painful to watch. And it's not like the main car in the drama is the only lovely driver. That white car... and did the car at the end just hit the barrier? Sure looked like it. Something that all these "poo poo at parking" videos have in common is that they all start driving before turning their wheels. It's just  .

they had it parked perfectly at like 2 or 3 minutes in and then fumblefucked around for another ten, ignoring how many other spaces? While two or three other people parked poorly? Is this a parking lot for canadas worst drivers? Or for drunk people? Or are they being told to park like they hosed in highschool?

"I just want to be with my buddies When I go to the grocery I like to park by myself farther from the building than the main cluster of cars and see if it takes anybody longer to find a "close spot" than it takes me to walk from the back of the lot to the door. There is always at least one. Also gently caress you if you decide to drive the roadlet directly in front of the store and then get annoyed at pedestrians entering and leaving the building. Drive the back of the lot, dipshit. I actually had some kids in a car yell at me for not yielding to them because it was their car's "turn" at the crosswalk, like it's an intersection and pedestrians should act like cars. I loudly told them to gently caress off before I realized I was about ten feet from the girl scouts selling cookies at the door.

In the parker's defense that looks like a tight lot made tighter by the other cars not pulling right up to that barrier, but still.... park in the back section.Number 1 Sexy Dad posted:When I go to the grocery I like to park by myself farther from the building than the main cluster of cars Same. It's a whole extra 20 yards of walking and I don't have to worry about hitting anyone's car with my door or cart when I come out.

A few hours ago I saw no less than 7 or 8 motorcycles going 60~70 down 30 mph streets. A few minutes ago, I saw a cop impounding a Kawasaki ninja. The driver in handcuffs. He ran over someones dog when they were crossing a crosswalk. You don't blow through stop signs in small neighborhoods. Cops have been sitting nearby there last few minutes. I wonder if they will catch more.

Tubesock Holocaust posted:I always thought phones should orient to landscape mode automatically, given how people just absolutely refuse to hold their phones correctly when shooting video. The sensor doesn't have a square aspect ratio, so if they did a landscape crop in that orientation the resolution would be different. That said, phone camera sensors are generally higher resolution than 1920 in both axes, so the resolution is there, but I don't know how they handle the cropping for that. It probably varies phone to phone and those that do 4k video probably wouldn't be able to do it in that orientation. Not that it really matters since phone 4k is going to be pretty crap anyway.

It's probably downsampled from the full resolution, rather than cropped out. The shorter edge would also be covering less image from the sensor so you'd end up with a narrower field of view and lower resolution. Panasonic actually offered a few cameras with larger sensors that could be used in multiple aspect rations, but there's less of a need there. Whoever introduces square sensors to their phone cameras will certainly deserve a Nobel prize. ----- I just saw a guy in a Smart Brabus pull off this maneuver. He was at the previous a stoplight in front of me, punched it and flew up to the Octavia that just stopped for the red light. But instead of staying where I'm now, he quickly changed lanes, and then made a right turn on red form the middle lane    What's terrible here is snow falling from the sky at the end of loving April.

Yeah, what sucks about phones is there's almost no room or budget for proper optics, so even if you have five thousand pixels in each direction, they're all blurry and look like someone stuck the lens in an rear end in a top hat full of vaseline.

I drove a $400 parts donor home from Ohio last spring, took the trip back overnight after taking Megabus to Toledo that evening. Seller said the blower fan was non-op and the blend door was stuck, but it's almost June, so whatever, right? Nope, the temp decided to drop around 35 that night and I was wearing loving cargo shorts of all things. Froze my rear end off for 5 hours, and probably would have gone hypothermic if it weren't for the heated seats.

Yah, it's not the optics that are the problem, when there's enough light they can take solid photos (although you can't really do any depth-of-field stuff). The problem's that the sensor is so small, which means that to increase pixel count you need smaller pixels, and smaller pixels have shittier signal:noise ratio. A full-frame DSLR with 24 megapixels, each pixel is 3.6E-5 square millimeters in size. The Nokia 808 has 48 megapixels crammed into a 85 square millimeter sensor, the pixel size is over an order of magnitude smaller. Fine with enough light, but it's going to go to hell quickly if you underexpose at all.

PT6A posted:No one, least of all the average cyclist, knows what arm signals mean or how to do them. Sticking your right arm out doesn't signal a right turn, jackass; they taught us this poo poo in school when I was like 7 years old! You use your left arm to signal because it will be the most visible in LHD traffic. This should be taught and beat into the heads of both cyclists and motor vehicle drivers. If people behind the wheel don't know what hand signals are used for right/left/straight, then they need to learn. If cyclists don't want to follow the rules of the road like other vehicles, they need to loving learn. More stringent guidelines and better testing could easily solve that, or just force idiot cyclists to get their precious bikes registered and carry insurance for inevitable stupid accidents they cause. kastein posted:Is this a parking lot for canadas worst drivers?

There was a local new article about the police cracking down on cyclists running red lights and stop signs, and besides the hilarious tears from the cyclists described in the article which was funny, the comment section filled up hilariously quickly with people ranting about the police having nothing better to do and coming up with the most far fetched excuses for breaking the law. The best one I read was the guy calling the laws problematic because some intersections have such bad visibility that he can't see what's coming when he's stopped. Jeez, guess why there is a loving stop sign. He also went on complaining that his kids (under 10) aren't good enough to come to a stop, put their feet down and then start cycling again, and therefore cyclists should be able to run stop signs. It's just
