      Could have all but one door open practically instantly, and that one would be near the end and open exactly as fast as it needs to for a safe entry, which is somehow just slightly worrying to the person approaching.

      This is really a thing. At my work (in a factory) there are giant ultra-quick roll up doors for the forklifts. To activate them, you have to be moving and like a forklift. If you walk up to the door you’ll totally hit. But give it a brisk walk or run, and it flies open.

    Tom, When you are riding a motorbike in the rain, you don't actually need a wiper. The shape of the visor means the air pushes the rain off the sides. If it's not running off fast enough, then you just need to turn your head a fraction of a degree to change the airflow pattern. When you are driving slow, most riders have their visor up.
    Also you can buy wet weather gloves with a patch of fabric on the back of the thumb, you can use as a wiper. Some manufacturers have even made gloves with an actual mini rubber wiper blade / squeegee on the back of the thumb.

They are meant for forklifts in motion, not people walking (there are normal doors right next to them) so you have to be moving at quite a clip. If you walk up to the door, you’ll hit it. If you give it a brisk platform 9 3/4 run, it opens right up.

They make quite a racket when they stop in a station! Just search "partyzug" to see lots of videos.

    In a surprising occurence of multiple people coming up with the same thing, "Donut Roulette" actually is or at least used to be sort of a thing in some parts of Germany. There, it's customary to have Berliner donuts at Carnival or New Year's Eve. So, you'd have a big plate of donuts all filled with jam, except sometimes, one is filled with mustard. Never heard it with hot sauce, but it would work just as well, I'd imagine.
