I'm guessing by the down votes this is better in a community for more specific IT, like sysadmin or homelab.

Also, the download link and password protection is a huge red flag.

Agreed.

Lemmy, you are biased. You probably don't intend to be, but it's true for now.

Going to sound weird, but I came here because of who I knew the vocal people were. I didn't understand many of their view points and reasons for being mad/hateful/etc. I am much more enlightened now and learn different perspectives everyday.

It is a giant echo chamber though if you are already very rooted in the spectrum here, and voicing decent usually leads to dog pile.

This is related to attitudes about news, politics, etc.

Yeah, oddly near by lights are the enemy of circles. Circles work well IMO when the traffic spaces out. Lights just make angry mobs, then they all hit the circle at once.

Even in Carmel, someone occasionally ignores the paint on the ground, and the sign, and tries to side swipe. I am always super aware of people in intersections.

It used to take 45-55 minutes to drive through Carmel on keystone or meridian from 465 to 146. Now it takes 8 minutes!

You have information? My lazy search said Edgar Hooker, Englishman. I'm a bit curious now.

I watched that. Didn't surprise me one bit.

The overreaching government apparatus doesn't inherently bother me, but we're really placing a lot of power and trust in those people, and that does concern me.

Ha, youi right about people going too fast in then. I see a soccer mom van going under the speed limit until they get into a roundabout, then it's Tokyo drift time. I'm usually unlucky and following them out just to return to painfully under the speed limit again. I'm the opposite. Faster on straight where no pedestrian and slow in circles. Slower in circles means people can merge in better and with more confidence like you mentioned.

I think the land scraping serves two purposes, stop a run through, and it visually blocks traffic since you've only supposed to be concerned about traffic to the immediate left I think.

I least I know of someone indifferent now 😄

Traffic circles do frustrate me as well. It's big enough to be a roundabout, but they wasted the money for lights, and have higher speeds.

Westfield, did that at state road 31 and 32. It's a silly intersection, could have been great.

Interestingly, but not surprising, there's a shopping mall called Clay Terrace in Carmel that is basically walkable strip mall.

It has a lot of cross walks and two circles. I find there's people who yield readily because they know the area is intended for pedestrians, and some treat it like regular roads. They put up flashing crossing lights when people pass sensors. That helped a lot.

Wow, that is weird. I honestly just made that up in my head when I wrote it.

The saying is true, if it's free, you're the product.

I don't actually know why I care about that level of privacy. Some of us are quite fine with companies or their government having any information about them. Some are very opposed.

Maybe I dislike the idea that information could be used against me somehow or they're making even more money than I'm already paying in some hypothetical case. Not sure.

I find one issue with multiple lanes is people assuming the inside lane driver will be continuing around instead of existing. This leads to drivers taking the outside lane and hitting someone as they are exiting.

It's probably confusing to read that, but the golden rule I preach to people is yield to cars in the circle regardless of their lane and wait for them to pass by right as you pull out. Can't go wrong that way.

Sorry, I don't. Hamilton county haz takes them, so I'd try if I was you. Worst is you drive something back home.
