still a horrible decision by the city to allow private vehicles here. this should only be open for transit like the 18, the last thing we need is another north-south street for drivers to speed in and out of downtown. i think a bottleneck was good for eat street which already has too many cars on it

Arizona should be marked as disputed territory on time zone maps.

History Wikipedia is written for, like, an eighth grade understanding. Math Wikipedia is written for a doctorate-level understanding. That's kinda messed up.

In ww2, bombers kept coming back with holes the size of 11 yr olds. So the air force added kid-sized armor plates. It was only later they realized the surviving planes came back like that, not bc 11 yr olds did all the window smashing, but bc MPD was only capable of catching the dumbest offenders.

Cars have four lanes here; people have less than one meter. The cars have claimed even that. I'm joining the #WarOnWalking on the side of walking! 🌎 Little Rock, AR, USA
A half-meter of sidewalk; to the right of the curb is a four-lane stroad; to the left is a meter-high concrete retaining wall with a meter-and-a-half high wooden residential fence on top of it. Ahead the residential fence is replaced by untrimmed bushes which encroach upon the sidewalk.A sidewalk, approximately a meter wide, is blocked by a temporary orange road sign which reads, "TRUCKS ENTERING AND LEAVING ROADWAY." To the left is a four-lane stroad; to the right is a retaining wall with a tall fence on top. Ahead, a sing proclaims that the speed limit is 35 mph, which is fast enough to kill a person outside of a car in 90%+ of crashes. The sidewalk and road gutter are strewn with pink, brown, and green plant debris.

During a climate-change-induced heat wave, remember to close your Overton window once it starts to heat up in the morning!

I hate when a person or group fights as hard as possible to make something (COVID response, Metro Green Line Extension) as difficult and costly as possible, then turns around and complain about that thing being bad. If you strive to be the problem, nobody should look to you for solutions.

All the teams playing in the World Cup yesterday forgot that Father's Day is coming up, so they all rushed out to get a tie.
Monday's World Cup scores, all draws.
Spain 0-0 Cabo Verde 
Belgium 1-1 Egypt
Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay
Iran 2-2 New Zealand

it has fingers, presumably with fingerprints, so it's plausible that it's whorled, but it's really more of a ball on a pedestal than a cup

The good Lord made me too tall to work on a submarine and too short to play basketball, and I've come to terms with that. I'm the right height to walk, bike, and ride buses and trains, though.

If I can do sensitivity analysis to determine whether to go to Koblenz via Mainz or via Limburg to account for inevitable delays, MnDOT should be able to do sensitivity analysis on their safety models for Rethinking I-94.

To clear up a common misconception: the Massachusetts city was originally known as Lol, but Daniel Webster changed its spelling to Lowell to get back at the British.

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk. (4) Soon [two people next to large armored car with spiked clubs attached] PERSON 2: If I don’t install more whirling spike clubs, I’ll be destroyed by all the other drivers who...

What do we want? Purple prose! When do we want it? As the sun next reaches its zenith like the hawk in repose, muscles coiled like a slinky and eyes keen upon the rabbit moving in jerking hops along the primary school fence as if some occult hand were tugging it with great effort on a slack string.

I crashed my two ships of Theseus like 617 business hours ago. Still waiting to hear from the insurance company. (Before you ask, yes, I did only insure one ship, but I gradually replaced its parts and made a new ship with the originals)

Mainz in its current iteration does not border the Main. The Main enters the Rhein on the other side of the latter from Mainz. We should consider changing the name to Rheinz.

As a child, literature led me to believe that dogcatchers would be society's greatest villains. Boy howdy, was that wrong.

May I present the antimnemonic of antimnemonics? To fail to remember the name of every human being, just remember that you wouldn't even be able to read and pronounce a significant portion of them. Give up on your own name. Refer to others by their most endearing trait.

I went geohashing today and saw @adamchase.bsky.social and @thewheatgerm.bsky.social of @jetlagthegame.bsky.social at the Nürnberg Hbf. I just said hi and scurried off because they, like myself, looked stressed out from being Deutsche Bahned. Good luck on finding/chasing/running from Sam, guys!
