  1. Oh, what a horrible problem to have.
  2. Good question, I don't have any idea. It just sorta popped up. I can attest to the fact that every neighbor I've spoken with hates it. It just seems to be such a waste of money.
  3. You're having a real struggle with comprehension. The drivers on the long leg had no negligence because they had no yield sign or stop sign. They had the right of way. The drivers at the intersecting "T" had a stop sign. If they rolled the stop sign that was their negligence. Despite these facts, you seem to be incapable of understanding the very simple concept that the City of Austin managed to make a perfectly functional intersection worse in multiple ways by building a roundabout. I didn't map this one failure to all roundabouts across the world, I'm saying it was a stupid waste of money in this particular case that caused more harm than it developed good and it is a perfect example for this thread.
  4. LMAO. THERE WAS NO NEGLIGENCE by those drivers in the prior configuration. They literally turned a logical right of way into a 3-way clusterfuck. Beyond that, the turn radius is so hilariously tight that many vehicles can't even navigate the roundabout. You don't know what you're talking about.
  5. They spilt something, that's for sure.
  6. I'm sure they have. Do you seriously discount my personal experience of having the right of way and starting to advance only having to hit the brakes because some oncoming driver was clearly going to (and did) ignore their yield sign? I mean, sure, be the contrarian urban planner, but for fuck's sake, the behavior at my neighborhood roundabout is routinely unsafe. It wasn't before.
  7. UTenn was the #1 national seed last year with a 22-8 conference record. If we go 6-6 from here on out we will match that record. I'm not particularly concerned. A&M and Florida at home, Arky and OU on the road. If we can't split those 12 games then so be it.
  8. I don't. All the "you ain't ready for the SEC" bullshit made me hate the conference and every team from the jump. Fuck 'em all. Sit back and get schooled by Daddy across the board.
  9. Honestly, now that I no longer have time for things like golf, it's probably my favorite hobby.
  10. I continue to forget to put @HenryJames on ignore during games when I'm not at the ballpark.
  11. I like Ty but "breaker" and "knock" used to drive me nuts.
  12. God the SECN sucks. No, it's not 12-2 you fucking idiots.
  13. Damn, Jonah. Save some for the other teams.
  14. They put in a roundabout in our neighborhood at a T intersection that was never a problem. Two legs had the right of way, the third had a stop sign. Simple. Now it's a roundabout with 3 yield signs that is not only too tight for larger trucks but people blow through 2 out of the 3 yields all the time. Accidents are bound to happen. Well done, Austin.
  15. Nice slide by Jonah
  16. Jesus he bit on the breaking ball
  17. Is the baby getting any beer?
  18. Actually, it's OU and Arky. That just complicates things even more. I'll refrain from any more thought on the matter.
  19. I have no context for this, but it seems to me if we flip the rotation we might need to stick with it going forward. This week is unique and gives us a chance to rest Spencer one more day, but going forward we're back to F/S/S.
  20. . . . and I fully support it.
  21. I live in NW Hills, and even I find the favoritism shown by AISD to Doss & Murchison disturbing. The new construction is just mind-boggling, and totally unnecessary when you consider the shitholes we have all over the district.
