People who cannot create real things often relish in the ability to create a facsimile of something functional. The more complicated, the better such egotists feel.

Who's downvoting this?? Ban those moronic leeches. They're either anti-community or have the reading comprehension of a potato, ffs.
Most actual veterans I've heard from hate warmongering politicians and these hateful bigots who support going to war.
The same way most soldiers have better training and trigger discipline than cops. They know far better when their life is actually in danger, and are actually trained to stay cool under pressure. Cops are trained to be big babies that must get their way or else.
Same for politicians and chickenhawks. They're fake tough guys, not actually tough guys.
Yes, some people do have glandular problems or underlying health issues.
No, that is not the vast majority of obese people.
Again, stop infantilizing grown-ass adults.
Completely wrong.
Zipper merging is a merging technique. It doesn't give a fuck where it happens. Period. Ever.
What determines how many cars get through is ONLY determined by how many through-lanes there are and how fast traffic can flow. The morons flying up an empty closing lane just to cram into a lane that's already slow or stopped, ARE NOT ZIPPER MERGING. Ever. They're dipshits cutting in line. Period. Ever.
They NEVER help solve congestion. For fuck's sake, this is not a hard concept, but all you idiots apparently cannot even fathom why traffic slows down when a lane is GOING AWAY. Fuck, humanity is doomed if ya'll are even remotely 'average' intelligence...
The road IS going away, at least temporarily. That's the whole fucking point of this scenario. That's why the throughput is determined ONLY by how many lanes will continue through.
It's not hard to comprehend. It's basic traffic throughput...
The people racing up an empty lane when the through-lanes are slow or stopped ARE "cramming themselves in like sardines".
Yep. Not only is stuffing yourself into denser traffic bad for throughput, it's not a part of zipper merging.
It's just something they're taught because it can reduce the tail of congestion and can sometimes keep it from spreading to other roads. Bad teachers and idiots conflate it with zipper merging so that idiots like these commenters think it's part of zipper merging and defend it.
Whereas actual zipper merging doesn't give a shit where it happens. All it requires is that through-traffic gives roughly 1-1 room for merging traffic, and that merging traffic look for and take an opening.
If they were ACTUALLY practicing zipper merging, neither lane would let themselves condense past two vehicle lengths per vehicle, which obviously doesn't happen when lane closures cause congestion.
Oh no, poor ignorant supposedly functional adults, totally unable to change anything about their behaviors or learn something new! Awww poor wittle ~~babies~~ actual adults.
Stop infantilizing people. Shit like this is half the reason there are immature adults that do not know how to take accountability for anything.
Sadly, only in some states is it legally binding.
Guess which fast driving car situation is more likely?
That's right. Assholes.
Just be glad it's the greats from your whole life and not like ... the amazing crashes of last week filling up your time.
