Especially the Weebl and Bob Advent Calendar.
This is too late for your boring yesterday, but here’s one I discovered a while back that is usable anytime. It details the proper usage and type of every traffic control device (signs, signals, pavement markings) that is allowed to be used on “streets and highways” in the U.S.A., and, in some states, on all private property open to the public. It evan has a message board “Discussion Area” for pertinent (not impertinent) questions. There’s even an internal link to the “Standard Highway Signs” manual that provides all dimensions and lettering sizes and styles for every standard U.S. traffic sign. Can be useful in procuring proper signs for your properties or for trying to fight tickets for violating “nonstandard” signs. You need to check on your state’s laws on the subject, though, before resorting to that. Have fun.
Fighting ignorance (mine) since 1973:
How do such url links get turned blue and underlined here and does the lack of that affect their use?
You mean this one?
Can’t believe no one has mentioned this one yet, the ultimate time-consuming website (other than SDMB): www.ebaumsworld.com Check out the videos, some of them are hysterical (mostly work-safe if you avoide the “Extreme” videos section which is separate from the funny videos section.)
No – but this is another excellent one.
I popped into this thread to suggest this one. It’s hard to stop reading those confessions once you’ve started.
