This is the first I've heard of the neoliberals being driven out of the DNC and frankly I find it a bit hard to believe. Outside of the win in NY I haven't heard of any other significant shakeups in the party, and frankly the number of politicians in the DNC you'd need to oust to dislodge the neoliberals makes me think I'd have heard something.

Just going to ignore everything I said that proves you wrong? OK, you do you and keep being wrong, I'll keep driving legally and keep my perfect driving record.

The only good thing about all this I suppose is I learned not needing to use turn signals in turn only lanes is a unique thing to my state, it seems like most other states do require them.

Anyway if all you're going to do is keep saying wrong and re-quote the same debunked statement there's not really anything left to say.

Because the Republican/Libertarian dogma is that government does not work and is inherently wasteful, that only private corporations are efficient and good. Their goal is to destroy the entire government and replace it all with private contractors doing the same thing for more money and half as well. Ignoring the fact that they are themselves government workers, and that there are many necessary services that explicitly should not be run to maximize profits, they're also fundamentally wrong that the government is somehow uniquely wasteful and inefficient. It's just one of many false beliefs they have, the biggest and most damaging of which being the idea of trickle down economics.

Turn signals are required, but not in a turn only lane. The question asked and answered wasn't what's being talked about here. Also it's trivially demonstrable that turn signals are not required "anytime you are changing direction" in your vehicle otherwise you'd be constantly turning them off and on just driving down any random road as it curves back and forth. They're required when you depart one lane for a different one. In a turn only lane you never depart the lane, it just becomes another lane. Finally quoting cops is a terrible defense as cops are per court decisions not actually required to know the law which is super fucked up, but that's an entirely different discussion.

The clauses apply if the first one does which it doesn't. Since you're never turning from a direct course you don't need to signal in the manner the following clauses describe. Since you're never leaving the direct course, there's no need to signal otherwise you'd need to use your turn signal every time you turn the wheel on your car even if you're just following the road (which is what you're doing in a turn only lane). You need to signal when entering the turn lane, but once in the lane you're just following the lane (the direct course) and therefore don't need to signal.

You mean the guy known to creep on underage girls, who insisted on barging into their changing rooms, who made inappropriate comments about his own daughter when she was under age, and who frequently hung out with the guy that was a known paedophile and was known to prostitute underage girls to his rich friends, doesn't want to talk about what he was doing with him all that time?

Gee, I wonder why.

Yes because it's irrelevant. The first clause failing means subsequent clauses don't apply. Because a signal isn't necessary it doesn't matter how far back you don't signal for.

The fundamental flaw with the phone system is it's all or nothing. It's difficult to get in, but once you're in there's zero controls (DNS used to and somewhat still does also suffer from this).

TL;DR: Small study of only 3 out of 100 brands on the market, so limited inference can be drawn but cheap construction leaches toxic substances into the liquid in ways that older non-disposable vapes don't. In terms of health risk non-disposable vapes are best followed by a tie between traditional cigarettes and disposable vapes.

Looks awesome, but unfortunately seems to only be for the UK and EU. I wish the US market would get something similar.

The only law in my state that requires usage of turn signals states this:

No person may turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a highway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided, in the event any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.

The key there is "direct course". The direct course in a dedicated turn lane is the turn, so no signal is required. If it's a turn or straight lane it is required as in that case the direct course is straight.

That is literally the only thing keeping me from installing Graphene on my phone.
