Watch the other lights and pedestrian signals or just, ya know, pay loving attention while you're driving. Actually, never mind. I regret asking my dumb question. Do whatever you want with your traffic signals. Here's some pic:

Solice Kirsk posted:If it totally eliminates someone sitting at a green light for more than two seconds while they finish a text then I'm all for it. If it doesn't 100% eliminate it then it's stupid and I hate it almost as much as calling yellow "amber." Should have stuck with the theme and made it "emerald, amber, ruby."

In my city some intersections give you a preview because the pedestrian signal will turn green first.

The amber/yellow on go is super useful for shifting into a gear, as most cars in Europe are still manuals.

gbut posted:The amber/yellow on go is super useful for shifting into a gear, as most cars in Europe are still manuals. When I drove in London, everyone used the yellow light before the green as the signal to bury the gas pedal in the carpet. It was very easy to get used to. It was very easy to which to get used. I started doing it too. Eventually I was halfway through the intersection by the time the light turned green. IDK what this "putting into gear" nonsense is about. Yellow means go. What was weird to me was remembering to drive in the left lane on the...motorways? carriageways? whatever the expressways bc the right lane is the fast lane and people will NOT undertake you. They'll just flash lights at your bumper until you move over.

The Bloop posted:a gear? Like you haven't decided yet if you're about to need first gear ready to go? Well, I like my clutch to last a bit so yes, I do put it into neutral when I reach a complete stop at a red light. Also, sometimes you don't need the first gear if the light is on a downhill slope.

Who What Now posted:Michael is offended at the idea of putting gravy on pasta Some Italians use the word gravy to refer to a specific kind of red sauce that has been simmered for hours with like, pork and stuff in. In my experience with my wife and her family though, they mostly only use it to tell me when I am using the wrong word and change it seemingly randomly.

The general rule is that pudding is something you boil or bake in a container, sometimes the container is also edible. That at least gives you the throughline between black pudding, steak and kidney pudding, christmas pudding, and pease pudding. I'm not sure exactly how you get to the modern idea of a sweet pudding being just "anything you eat for dessert"

Pustulio posted:Some Italians use the word gravy to refer to a specific kind of red sauce that has been simmered for hours with like, pork and stuff in. There's a very interesting thing with Italian-American culture where it's largely rooted in Sicilian traditions from the late 1870s-mid 1910s, including the local dialect and slang from that time. The vast majority of Italians who emigrated to the US in that period came from southern Italy and they canonized those traditions and pronunciations here, whereas Sicily's culture blended more with other areas of Italy over the course of the 20th century. While there are still regional dialects and patterns of speech, modern Sicilians generally pronounce Italian words more or less the same way that other Italians do (all three syllables in prosciutto or spaghetti, for example), and the Italian that American kids learn from their Nonnas is sort of a time capsule from when their family emigrated, and is seen as antiquated in modern Sicily. This is also what happened with Quebec French, where the colonies started out using the French rural dialect (which was also the dialect the ruling class used) of the 17th century, but then after Canada was ceded to the UK in the late 1700s there wasn't much cultural interchange, so Quebec French stayed mostly the same while Parisian French became dominant in Europe in the years following the French Revolution. Some people say that American English, particularly in the south, sounds like what the commoners spoke in England in the 18th century, but it's likely that it differs significantly due to a "standardization" of different regional English dialects as people from different areas joined each other across the Atlantic. It is true that American English's pronunciation of the r in words like "clear" was a feature of most variants of British English at the time of colonization, but fell out of common use in England over time following the American Revolution. You find this affect in Spanish and Portuguese colonies as well. Languages are cool! Pustulio posted:In my experience with my wife and her family though, they mostly only use it to tell me when I am using the wrong word and change it seemingly randomly. This is 1000% true and you'll never be right.

Foxfire_ posted:Doesn't that cover 90% of all British food, but also get a variety of noted non-pudding savory pies/pastys? Generally savoury puddings are boiled rather than baked, that being the main differentiation between a pasty and a savoury pudding. I think all of those are normally boiled actually. I guess yorkshire puddings are more baked in a weird sense, or boiled in fat perhaps, but they are also not really contained and are part of when the use of the word pudding went off the rails a bit.

Actually, italian americans just say "yahoo", "yipee!", "Ow-ow-ow wow-ow", and "so long gay bowser". Any training that doesn't prepare you for that isn't very inclusive.
