Having seen the last series here in the UK, it's more likely 'Doktor Warum?'.
But then, I remember Patrick Troughton playing the Doctor in my youth (too young for William Hartnell, though I did see some of the repeats in the 70s), so the modern Doctors aren't really my cup of tea, though my 9 year old loves it:o)
I really, really hope so - your description shows that you made the wrong decision at every point.
You have right of way on the 'rotary' (I assume that's the same as a roundabout), so slowing down in anticipation of someone entering the system is wrong. The correct action is to either maintain your speed (good) or to accelerate (better, as it will put off the driver trying to enter the roundabout), being ready to brake at any time to avoid an accident.
Driving defensively isn't all about giving way no matter what - it's about making sure that accidents don't happen, and sometimes assertiveness is the correct path.
I actually am pretty unemotional as a driver - I swear because it's better to get the emotional surge over and done with, rather than bottling it up.
Yes, I agree that millions (there will always be arguments about the absolute number) died in the camps, but I prefer to believe that this was a result of disease and of shortages of food rather than a deliberate act of evil by an entire nation - call me sentimental, but I don't like to think of a whole country going evil on the say-so of a few bastards.
I don't think there is a hate-crine law in the US that restricts freedom of speech - it would be against your Constitution.
The reason I would accept Nazi documentation is that the Nazis ran the camps, and if there was any deliberate intent to kill the inmates, that's where we'd find the proof - anything else is merely hearsay, and would not stand up in court (Nuremberg excepted, but that was victor's justice, so let it pass).
The point about the holocaust is that it is portrayed as a deliberate attempt to rid the German sphere of influence of Jews - the Nazis were anti-semitic, but unless there is evidence of a policy of murder, the concentration camps were forced labour, not death camps.
Nice to have a civilised conversation with someone on this matter, by the way - it's rare indeed to find someone (other than Nazi fans, who I hate) willing to debate this matter.
Do they constrain the end user to particular hardware, or is it just basic civil engineering?
I can see that a well planned installation can reduce cooling costs, but if Customer A insists on having his Superdome rather than a more energy efficient alternative, what does the designer do then?
Yes, and that's why if you're behind me on a motorcycle I'll look ahead to see if it's safe for you to pass, and if it is I'll indicate and move over to give you room.
In traffic, I'll make space ahead of me for motorcycles to move into, and I'll wave them past.
Cyclists, on the other hand, can go swivel - I deliberately block them whenever possible, and make sure they feel the draught from my mirrors when passing them.
Nope - as I said above, I was being flippant, and my main beef is with the ignorance and stupidity of the majority of cyclists these days who seem to think that their actions are without consequence.
I have been driving since the late 1970s and have never had an accident, save for two idiots ploughing into the back of me while I was stationary at the end of a queue of traffic.
And I regularly put 40,000 miles on a car in a year, so it's not as though I'm a novice.
The road is a dangerous place - the last thing everyone needs is for cyclists to make it more dangerous by being thoughtless.
I hope that's a real Mini Cooper, and not one of the 'squashed Minis' (my son's term) that are BMWs in disguise - otherwise you're driving a ladies car.
But if I were to express my skepticism (it's not a belief, more a disbelief) in France, for example, I could be prosecuted.
Provide me with proof that there were gas chambers, and I'll happily revise my position - the problem is that there is a general acceptance of the idea that there was a holocaust in the absence of any tangible evidence.
I don't wish that there were gas chambers, nor do I wish ill on any group of people, however they are defined - it is my fervent wish that there were no such camps and that the deaths of millions were through ignorance, starvation and disease rather than through evil.
Yeah, I was being flippant - my issue is that cyclists these days don't even check to see what's coming up behind them before pulling out, which is, IMNSHO, a 'bad thing'.
When I learnt to ride a bike in the '70s, we were taught to be aware of the traffic around us, and to ride accordingly.
I've never had an accident in over 25 years of driving / motorcycling(other than two idiots ploughing into the back of me while stationary), and only one in over 30 years of cycling (car pulled out on me without looking - had to broadie it into the driver's door) - I attribute that to having learnt to ride defensively early in life, and carrying those lessons through to my motorbike and car days.
Well, the secret is to learn defensive driving - if someone is overtaking you in a dangerous spot, you lift off and slow down in anticipation of the accident / intemperate manoeuvre from the idiot overtaker.
It works for me - I never, ever have road rage (though I do swear at cyclists a lot).

Power density?
Reliability?
Lifetime?
Lots of reasons. Flywheels don't have to provide AC only.

If the motorcyclist takes care, and thinks that you are aware of his presence, there's nothing wrong with him passing you on either side.
I think your problem is that you don't use your mirrors as much as you should, so you don't know what's going on around you.
Use your mirrors, and take care!
Much less painful, though it does upset the car driver :o)
And yes, I do both drive and ride.
Thanks for your time, though ;-)
Ta gueule, espece de con!

Baise mon cul, putain!
Only technology stopped him from being the father of the Web.
Damn - I wish I'd known about this guy in the 70s - I'd have sewn the whole lot up in patents :o)
Damn you and your sig - I read 'envision' as 'embiggen', you cromulent git!
You have just opened my eyes to a new E M Forster - far from the A Passage to India that I was subjected to at school.
It's almost Michael Moorcock in it's imagination.
Thanks :o)

The road is a dangerous place - the last thing everyone needs is for cyclists to make it more dangerous by being thoughtless.
And I don't worry about being assertive when I'm on a bicycle - it's the safest way to ride :P
PS - if I kicked you, you wouldn't be able to stand to use the U-lock :o)
And if I want to turn left (in the UK we drive on the wrong side of the road), I'll make sure I leave you plenty of room.
If you could reciprocate by following the rules of the road and by being aware of the traffic around you, we'll get along fine :o).
It's just that nowadays there are so many ignorant cyclists that are a danger to themselves and other road users.
I've been riding bicycles since the early 1970s, and am an extremely safe cyclist.
I'm also an extremely safe driver, but am constantly amazed by the stupidity of some of the cyclists I see on the roads.
That's OK - I got Zio-modded to death last week :o)
I hope that's a real Mini Cooper, and not one of the 'squashed Minis' (my son's term) that are BMWs in disguise - otherwise you're driving a ladies car.
All depends on whether I have loved ones in the car or not, LOL.

Oh, and I read 1984 in 1974 :P

Milk - the gateway drug of choice!
