the first few years were rough when people tended to treat them like 4-way stops but most people have figured them out although they slow down. There are advisory speed signs like 15 or 25 mph but I figure if it's on a 45 mph road, you go through it at 45.
These aren't the huge rotaries like back east so 45 is going to rearrange the groceries in back. I go a little slower if I'm carrying eggs.
They are better than the 'bulb-outs' that force bicycles out into the traffic lane in interest of safety.
Ours aren't very big, either. This is the one I like the best:

It has improved traffic a lot though, and turned a few major accidents into many fenderbenders.
Maybe. Dunno.
Although I'm not really talking of tyres, but an extra wheel with a rubber "coat" and no rim.
No, mine is "Ibertren".
The weight would be on the steel wheels. And perhaps, with more friction, the weight could be less.
It is just an idea for playing.
I knew :-)
Yes, this is done in Spain. Usually the underground Metro in Madrid works like that. In this case, I'm not sure how many cars are "powered", because the cars could be interconnected for electrical power. Also regional trains are often made this way. Long range, I'm not so sure.
At least, those that are electrical. Diesel trains I think use a traditional loco (here).
oscillator-lights? That's a very curious thing. I may have seen it on movies, but did not know if I was interpreting it correctly or not.
elevated platforms are the norm here. Although there are some trains that are very low (the Talgo).
I believe the Tiger B did away with the rubber as did the later Tigers and Panthers. The Bs only weighed 75 tons though, well short of a locomotive.
Weed is legal in Michigan? Couldn't miss the Exclusive Ann Arbor Cannabis Dispensary on Varsity.
A couple of ours have another quirk. As you approach the lanes split. The left lane goes into the rotary but the right lane is a right turn. If you really wanted to leave on the same street you arrived on but took the right lane you can find a quiet place to do a u-turn and try again.
The best part is it's between the I-90 exit and the airport so I can see foreigners in rental cars getting lost as they try for the interstate.
Yes, weed is legal. Ann Arbor has a ton of dispensaries. There are at least four in the area shown on that map, even though they're not called out by name. The market is flooded, and I expect a lot of them will fail in short order.
how many thousand miles did it last?
Similar to what rbowman posted about the tiger :-)
Sorry, I meant blue.
How fast did it go?
Surely it must be possible from the massed ranks from all three newsgroups to do something about the International pest identifying as Peeler, either by getting him or her removed from the Internet or else incarcerated in the loony bin?
Plenty of model gears are of self lubricating plastics. brass pinion and teflon gear works well. None of my model plane gearboxes lubricate the gears, only the bearings a a little
Those fly in the 20-40mph area as it happens, because I am more interested in enjoying flying them than using them as a penis extension
Just killfile him and his aliases. And *don't* reply to him as that gets him past them.

Fraid not. He deliberately uses lots of different usenet servers so you can't even get him banned and most dont ban anyone anymore anyway.
They don't even do that if the loony kills someone anymore.
The county has an ordinance requiring 500' between dispensaries and the hopefuls are infilling fast. I'd put the survival rate right up there with the shops selling stuffed unicorns or macrame plant hangers. They come, they go, and every now and then I walk through downtown to see what's left.
The price in California has collapsed. To numbers like $100 per pound wholesale.
So many people thought they would make their fortunes growing or selling pot. So many.
He seems to be obsessed with you in a manner that is threatening and possibly dangerous; but why does not he simply kill file you?
