Love to drop from 75 to 15 to not slam into the barriers at the exit. Denver traffic wouldn't be so nightmarish if the roads weren't hell. Still better than roads in louisiana. poo poo destroyed my mustangs suspension just driving through

I let mine expire and had to get a new one after 5 years of nor driving. I did the practical, and she marked a bunch if poo poo off, but when we pulled into the dmv at the end she asked how long I had been driving without a license, so I explained the situation. She said every mistake I made was one that you see as a result of learned experience, crossed out the whole test and passed me.

is a catch 22. you need the money to prove its viable to the american people, and the buy in of enough of a city to completely tear down and rebuild large chunks of it, but to get those you need those people to actually buy in and believe in it. and the process of getting from A to B is likely to be so painful that it will turn off other cities from want to do that to themselves those cities that you point to that are like that were all built on old cities that predate cars, and so were already designed to accommodate pedestrians. thats not really true of many american cities

I particularly like how texas traps teachers, making sure they give no fucks because its a poo poo system but they can't leave. They pay into a special teachers retirement plan instead of social security. this retirement is non-transferable and you can't collect from both it and social security without violating double dipping laws. A decent retirement is about all teaching has going for it, and TEA does their best to hold that hostage to keep the teachers compliant

AreWeDrunkYet posted:The East Potomac Golf Course is probably the least offensive of golf courses (public, on land that couldn't really be residential for a number of reasons, public transport accessible), but it would still be way better off as just woods or something. Things like public golf courses are generally good. Its an outdoor sport with low key competitive energy that happens to be dangerous only to people in front of the player. A few blocks from me we have a golf course thats public, and the fairways are super narrow because there is absolutely no space that isn't worth a fortune because real estate is so crazy expensive here. My only complaint is that the courses are so busy you can't just enjoy a walk in them the way you can a larger, traditional course. I saw people playing golf in the snow a couple years ago, wtf?

Hekk posted:I played golf when I was stationed in 29 Palms since it got me out of wearing my service uniforms on Fridays. I had a black co worker who I never really did anything outside of work with. One week he asked me to go golf with him in Palm Springs. I accepted and on the way down to the golf course I asked why he invited me out after almost two years of working together and never doing anything outside work. Public or not, I was surprised to see a group of black guys yelling at me to gtfo because I was in their way. Pretty cool that golf, which I had always heard was the last holdout as 'this is just a white guy sport'(vs like lacrosse which is a rich white guy sport) has people of all races screaming at people for being in their way
