Two things irk me greatly about the dentist(at least mine):
1. "Don't worry you won't feel anything" then suddenly drops an iron hammer on your teeth and laughs "oops, oh well it didn't hurt did it?" of course it did you jerk.
2. Asks a lot of questions and then goes "why do you never answer?" maybe cause my mouth is full of your tools and you even anesthesized half of my mouth?

Ironically, when I fractured my skull and got a severe concussion, I was the one being calm, making phone calls, limiting the amount of meds they gave me, and doing everything I could to prove I was "ok." I emphatically refused to let them lift me to transfer from gurney to bed and back again for the half-dozen CT scans. However, since my potassium was low, they put me on a drip for that. NEVER permit a potassium drip. It felt like my entire arm was being lit on fire from the inside out and I was thrashing in my bed until they turned the damned thing off and opted for a different admixture. And that's a normal reaction to potassium supplementation.

I started driving late at the age of 18, the first day I had my first car, I learned to hate two things; trains and bicyclists.

We bicyclists hate you, too. And only heroin addicts like trains. I had to ride over something like ten sets of train tracks en route to an interview the other day and was getting ready to burn Dagny Taggart in effigy by the end of it.

In my defense, since I sometimes have to do this, the street sweepers apparently have felt no need to clear away the gravel and other ***that collected throughout the winter from several of the streets I ride along. I am not going to faceplant while going almost 30 MPH downhill because I hit a patch of gravel instead of taking my lane. The speed limit is 35 MPH, anyhow, so it's not like I'm slowing people that much.

My town spent a lot of tax money about 10 years ago on a riverside bike path, they never use it. They also don't have to tag or insure their bikes.

I think some community folks put signs down on side of road to tell cyclists to ride the bike path. So much win, even if they didn't follow.

But if me paying $10 a month to cover the scratches that my body and bicycle leave on your paintwork as you attempt to murder me means you'll think twice, I'll do it.
A friend of mine is presently in the hospital with a severe brain injury because someone didn't feel like paying attention to his lights and just turned out of a parking lot in front of him. He'll recover, but I'm really not feeling like insurance would be a meaningful thing to try to enforce when the danger is unbalanced heavily in one direction.
Though apparently there has been a college girl in a coma (so she's basically probably dead) for a year now since she got hit by a cyclist on the local university campus. I feel for her and want to beat the hell out of the cyclist responsible, but I'll bet some cynical and easy money that she walked into traffic without even glancing up from her cell phone. I see that all the time and it's a wonder motorists don't killed half the freshman class every autumn.

There is technically a bike path I could take instead of the main roads (which, again, alternate between bike lanes and "Share the road" markings). It requires me to cross two busy streets blindly and use a very dangerous and very narrow, moderately busy road for half a mile. Sometimes you just can't win. Man, do I hate working on the west side.

Chengdu is fun as hell. I'm trying to get a position that's longer than the standard 6 months for travel and business visas. Kinda gotta finagle your way in, lol.
The silicon valley of the Far East as the guy called it.

I'm more of a visionary, so technically I'm always working even in my sleep. This interview that just got done was about 40min, and by the end I had the guy laughing. Always good.
Onor, I think you are assuming people hit cyclists on purpose, accidents happen be they two cars, motorcycles, bikes, or pedestrians. Most cyclists around here aren't riding their bike to work, the store, etc. they are riding for exercize, which is what the path we all paid for in taxes is for. One or two cyclists wouldn't be much of an issue, the issue comes from a group of 15, taking up the whole lane of a two lane road.
Tiger rides his bike because he has to to get to class/work. I doubt he does it purely for shits & giggles.

Everything I do is for the lulz!
@the bicycle thing:
while a cyclist has the right to use the right side of the road, if they are technically obstructing traffic (the same as any other vehicle is required to do) they're supposed to pull over to unobstruct traffic.
depending on the state and locality of course, as not all have requirements for that, and then it all depends on the judge really.
It's just courtesy imo if you're blocking traffic flow to pull over for a moment, something I wish farmers would do more a lot more than cyclists, I guess mostly because the majority of time cyclists aren't in the way, but I guess that all depends on the road, and a lot of our city roads now have bike lanes around here (paved, what kind of retard would make them gravel?).
kind of like when I'm on an unfamiliar road and the weather is bad, I'll be driving slow and have my blinkers on, I'll still move over if people want to pass me, let them.

I have plans in my head for a few electronic devices, I need to do some research but I think I have an idea for a pretty cool device that would help people in rural areas.

Probably do it in the garage or basement or something, but will make sure to add ventilation, for soldering etc.
