My, but that ceramic coating chafes. Thank you. I think.
laughs Clearly having a side at the bottom is the most dyamically stable position for a triangle. I wonder if it’s just a weird cultural thing to think of point-down as upside-down for a triangle?
Yeah, I’m with everyone else - it means yield to oncoming traffic if it’s there, and if not, keep going. For the record, I’ve never seen a yellow yield sign - anyone got a pic?
On the roads around here, it means “come to a complete stop and wait for a chance to merge into the solid river of traffic; while the guy behind you blows his horn at you for being so timid, then he passes you on the shoulder and nearly collides with a semi”.
I, too, live in California. One of my more reckless friends used to drive an old beat up Pinto. He’d force his way onto freeways, be very agressive about taking the right of way etc., etc.
He would explain his behavior to me by saying, “Hey, this car’s a piece of shit, and I don’t really care if it gets into an accident. They guy with the BMW probably does. Let that bastard yield to ME!”
Check out the expression of distain on the face of someone driving a Beemer (unless it’s obstructed by a cellphone) as you merge onto HIS road and tell me he’s not thinking “What does this peon think he’s doing? Doesn’t he realize what I’m driving?”
