(2) I'm not sure what a "bespoke suit shop" is.
(3) I'm not sure how I would search for that. Also, it's my understanding that most farms near me are "preserved" (heavily subsidized by the state government), so the question may not even be meaningful for me in the first place.

If you're in Thailand, you might as well take advantage of the legality of marijuana!
It was recriminalized a month ago.
Late on Tuesday, Thailand's health ministry issued an order prohibiting the sale of cannabis for recreational use and making it mandatory for any retail purchase to require a doctor's prescription.
The new rules will come into effect once they are published in the Royal Gazette, which could happen within days.

That doesn't and hasn't really happened in the US

I don't have a creative bone in my body, but I can read the codes well enough to put together crushingly boring designs in infinite variety. Presumably a person capable of reading the DSM would fare no worse.

However you want. Let the voters decide which style is best. (As long as compliance with codes is determinable.)

Despite having already signed a contract to have a custom house built, I remain obsessed with designing houses. On Monday, I managed to get my coworkers to participate in a house-design contest by offering prizes for the winners (a one-ounce silver coin for first place, half-ounce for second, and quarter-ounce for third). Is anybody interested in having a contest on this website as well?

According to both English Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia, light novels may have some manga-style illustrations but are not full manga.
I'm not well acquainted with light novels, but Durarara was adapted from its original light-novel format to a manga as well as to an anime, so maybe you saw an image of the manga.

can anyone explain to me the difference between manga and light novels? They seem the same, as they are both comics
I'm a bit confused on where to get into Gundam
IMO:
-
Of the three core Universal Century series: The original Mobile Suit Gundam has intolerably bad animation; Zeta Gundam is peak; and Gundam ZZ insults the viewer by failing to become good until almost literally the halfway point (episode 23 of 47). But starting with Zeta Gundam while having zero knowledge of the background provided in MSG probably would be a bad idea. I dunno, maybe watch the MSG compilation movies, or play the MSG campaign in an emulated Dynasty Warriors Gundam game (which is how I got into the franchise, sans emulation).
-
Gundam X is pretty good.
-
G Gundam and Build Fighters aren't really the same genre as the rest of the franchise, but still are quite fun. (The other Build Fighters and Build Divers series are not nearly as fun, IMO.)
-
It's been a while since I tried watching Gundam Wing, Turn A Gundam ,Gundam SEED, and Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans, but IIRC I didn't like them much.

That visibility seems pretty good to me. Remember that you're looking out only for cars that suddenly start moving after being stopped at the stop line, not for fast-moving cars. Also, note that the 55-mi/h road is NJ 54, while Jackson Road, at which you're looking, has a posted speed of 45 mi/h.

There does not appear to be vision-blocking vegetation at this particular intersection.

That law was part of the jury charge as well. See p. 16 of the PDF.
Incorrect (in this state).
NJ Statutes tit. 39 ch. 4 § 105:
Amber, or yellow, when shown alone following green[,] means traffic[ is] to stop before entering the intersection or nearest crosswalk, unless when the amber appears the vehicle or street car is so close to the intersection that with suitable brakes it cannot be stopped in safety.
Nothing is said about exiting the intersection before the light turns red.
No vehicle or street car shall be permitted by the owner or driver thereof to so occupy a street as to interfere with or interrupt the passage of other street cars or vehicles, nor shall the driver of a vehicle or street car drive such vehicle or street car into an intersection if preceding traffic prevents immediate clearance of the intersection.
That means a motorist must exit the intersection before any other light turns green, not before his light turns red. A traffic signal normally will have an all-red clearance interval of two or three seconds, so the difference between these two definitions is far from negligible.

I wasn't aware there were states which didn't require the driver to stop at a yellow.
Both New Jersey and Wisconsin require a motorist approaching a yellow light to stop if he can do so safely. However, this overview of state laws appears to indicate that there are quite a few states that do not have this requirement.

Let's say you're walking to your workplace or your university class or your school and you see, purposely avoiding anything like a bumper sticker or T-shirt that makes any more clearly identifiable statement or symbol:
- A man or woman with dyed blue hair
- A man or woman with a mohawk
These appearance choices are not ugly (in my personal aesthetic opinion), but unfortunately at this point they are strongly linked to objectionable opinions, so I am forced to assume that the person has those opinions.
- A man or woman with a septum piercing
- A man wearing sagging pants that show his underwear
This appearance choice is both ugly (in my personal aesthetic opinion) and linked to objectionable opinions.
- A man wearing suspenders
- A man wearing no suspenders, no belt, and wearing tight pants (this was me in high school)
- A woman wearing suspenders
A somewhat weird person who likes outdated fashion and refuses to bow to modern sensibilities
- A man with golden teeth
A person with dental hygiene bad enough that he lost an entire tooth
- A white man or woman with dreadlocks
This appearance choice is ugly (in my personal aesthetic opinion) but not linked to objectionable opinions.
- A man chewing tobacco
- A woman chewing tobacco
An addict
Or perhaps we could change the context of how you're seeing this person. Let's say you work at a gas station or other commonly-visited public-facing third place and you see people:
I think this example is too location-specific to be useful.
The jury was perfectly entitled to conclude that a non-negligent driver (1) would have stopped at the yellow light rather than trying to get through it or (2) would have tried to avoid hitting Christopher by braking rather than by swerving without braking.
Entering an intersection on a yellow light is legal (in this state). But failing to brake when you have a yellow light and someone else illegally runs a red light in front of you may count as negligence.
Also, in this case, Russell specifically admitted that he didn't even consider whether he could safely stop at the yellow light.

Russell, driving a work van on a road with posted speed of 55 mi/h (90 km/h), approaches a green traffic light from the southwest. The light turns yellow, but Russell thinks he can get past it before it turns red, so he does not stop. Christopher, sitting in a work truck at the same intersection's northwest traffic light, sees the lights starting to change and decides to enter the intersection early, while he still has a red light. Russell attempts to swerve his van around Christopher's truck (without braking), but the van collides with the truck anyway (hard enough to spin the truck around by 180 degrees) and thence careens into Jasmine's car, which is in the process of stopping at the northeast traffic light. Three of Jasmine's limbs are broken in the crash. Accordingly, she sues Russell and Christopher for causing her injuries through negligence. The jury decides that (1) the injuries are worth 3.5 M$ and (2) Russell bears 60 percent of the fault (2.1 M$) and Christopher 40 percent (1.4 M$).
-
Russell argues that the jury's decision to assign more fault to him than to Christopher is unsupportable by the evidence presented at trial, since Christopher broke the law (by running the red light) and Russell did not (by attempting to get through the intersection on a yellow light). But the trial judge rejects this argument, and the appeals panel affirms. Under state law as distilled in the charge issued by the trial judge to the jury, a driver approaching a yellow light "is obligated to exercise reasonable care, which includes making reasonable observations for traffic traveling on an intersecting street".* Therefore, the jury was perfectly entitled to conclude that a non-negligent driver (1) would have stopped at the yellow light rather than trying to get through it or (2) would have tried to avoid hitting Christopher by braking rather than by swerving without braking.
*See also the following model jury charges, which unlike this case-specific charge have been approved by a statewide committee: general duty of motorist; duty of motorist to make observations; and duty of motorist proceeding past stop sign.
