I think the price is alright, if you like it as it is. It appears to be well maintained, however it will require a major overhaul to make work with any other kind of interior. It might be costly to heat and it would cost a lot to update the windows and heating system.

It's located close to a large road, the cargo railway, the harbour and industrial areas. The area is build very densely, with neighbors behind every wall. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a very noisy place, but it's definitely not blissfully quiet.

For the right person, it may be cheap, but it's not exactly what the majority of house buyers are looking for.

I love the idea of having the library double as a stage for the dining room.

Jokes about airline food are so plane.

However, cab drivers always go an extra mile.

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

Ok, I'll take a guess: Morning glory.

There's no good reason for getting a non-stimulated erection at the same time that you also needs to empty your bladder after a good nights sleep.

That's not universal at all and completely wrong in large parts of the world.

In all the Nordic countries, who do ride bicycles very much, and in much of Europe, the right arm is used for signalling right turns, and the left arm for left turns and stopping/slowing. The stop sign is almost what you describe as a right turn: left arm up as an L and open palm. The left arm is used for stop, because it's most visible when riding/driving on the right side.

Left turns are mostly used on small roads, because in larger intersections the cyclist should preferably make an "orientation stop" to make two straight crossings instead.

This signalling system was introduced many years ago when most bikes had pedal brakes, so there were no issues in braking while signalling with either arm. It can be slightly annoying for bikes with hand brakes only, since the front brake is on the left (which is also not a universal design). But it works, people do use it, and they do expect others to use it when it makes a difference. For instance, it would be considered rude to make a right turn without signalling if there are cars waiting to turn right, because the bicycle has the right of way it were to continue straight.

It's also not the same for mopeds and motorcycles, because they should always use indicator lights, but in case it doesn't have those and since the accelerator and front brake are on the right hand, they can only use the left arm to signal in those rare situations.

The only times I've seen cars using hand signals have been at veteran shows where the passenger would do the right turn signal.

I mean... it's been more than 24 hours by now, hasn't it?

The southern archipelago looks like a Minecraft biome. Completely void of people and with just island after island it appears as if it would be fun to explore. It's probably too cold to enjoy though.

We had one new guy getting fired for "refusing to talk to people who don't have a university degree".

This will mainly hurt the American industries. The rest of the world is moving on, whether or not USA is on board.

I still don't have any clue about what part of my comment you object against, or why you're so fucking negative about it.

All I'm saying is that the right turn accident was completely preventable by making a simple painted line on the tarmac, as it is done in many places where there isn't room for the kind of huge separated bike lanes as shown in your photo.
