Driving to work and the law of conservation of Ninjutsu
-
Did you ever wonder why a single Ninja in a movie is almost invincible while they drop like flies when a whole army of Ninjas comes? Analogous to energy, Ninjutsu can neither be created nor destroyed. If there is only one Ninja present, all the system's Ninjutsu is concentrated in him, making him invincible. When there is a whole army of them, each Ninja only gets a small share of the Ninjutsu and we all know how that ends. While driving to work this morning, I wondered why everything goes well up to a certain number of cars on the road. After that critical point they all begin to drive like drunken monkeys. Is this yet another conservation law or do we really need the proper amount of Ninjutsu to get to work?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I came to this conclusion many years ago, when I was riding motorcycles in the rush hour, and have seen no reason to modify it. Indeed, I added a corollary: "If you can think of six bloody stupid things for a driver (or a committee) to do in a crisis, he (they) will think of something even stupider, and immediately do it."

O god, is it really that bad? Do we really need a comparison to (avert your eyes) politics. When a committee decides to do something stupid (which is almost every time), then it's usually the common denominator they found twoards their corrupt and immoral goals.

I'd walk if I only had that far to go. I don't get too much choice with my commute: I can't drive (and wouldn't drive to work even if I could, the route is Hellishly congested) and cycling to where I work would require a far, far braver man than myself. As such, it's a train with some walking at either end - which would be nice if the train were of adequate size and prone to turning up occasionally (sadly, it's neither) but at least I get to read stuff on the way, so the time isn't completely wasted.

Then we better never drive in the same place at the same time. The Ninjutsu would be split up between us, already dragging both of us half way down to the level of the other ashigaru[^].

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.The road is one big chaos system. The longer it displays a reliable pattern the more likely that the very next moment it will go completely pear shaped. I've gotten in the habit of working from home the first snowfall of the winter every year. It's like freaking clock work. We have decent* enough roads 7-9 months and then the day that snow falls every moron and their dead grandmothers decide that the best way to drive on snow and ice, is to go as fast as they can so they spend as little time on it as possible**! *By "decent" I mean the majority of them are paved, potholes aren't quite big enough to swallow a horse, and they haven't been condemned. They are however rated "poor" by the road committee. **I guess this isn't an entirely inaccurate thought process. If they slide off the road into the ditch, they are no longer technically on said road.

As if this event was a total surprise, but then they are also absolutely surprised when that funny light changes from red to green.
