I wish they were still part of Treasury. Would love to see the Secretary of the Treasury try to stop a former President from driving the car his dead son rebuilt for him.

OK, yes, but the outage also started in the middle of the night - and there are many fewer flights overnight than during the day. (Southwest, for instance, simply doesn’t fly overnight, for reasons that are too funny to get into.) It would be more useful to see a side-by-side playback of Wednesday night into Thursday…

Incorrect. One-third of crashes have been “speed-related,” but that’s an extremely broad category and doesn’t tell the whole story. The classic example: An extremely drunk driver exceeds the speed limit and crashes into a tree. The crash is noted as drunk driving and a speed-related crash.

Wonder what they could do in new construction with geothermal cooling - essentially have the tunnel bores have a whole bunch of “hairs” leading into the rock to pick up the consistent 40-70 degree F temperature as a heat exchanger.

“Full height” refers to the doors’ height compared to the train. They don’t enclose the train area - as your example shows, air is shared inside and out of the doors once you get above 8 feet.

I’d really love to hear an ice cream truck version of “The Entertainer.”

A rest stop on the Ohio Turnpike, somewhere near Cleveland.

The phone thing turned me into a fan of these camera/photosensor systems. At least then, the controller can extend the green phase to account for the lollygagger.

Wild ratio?

What about the length comparison?

“ ‘The Cybertruck,’ it says, ‘is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think you have a long parking space at the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to the Cybertruck.’ ”

I’m going to give him leeway solely because of the Star Trek reference in his Twitter handle.

Depends on how the speed limits are set. Statutory limits are often much too low for the conditions, so going 30 in a 20 zone may just be because five years ago, that same road had a limit of 30.

Bullshit. American roads have also been getting safer nearly every year, on both a per-VMT and (usually) absolute basis. There were a couple of weird years, statistically - but the pandemic is mostly to blame.

Legalize it!

I mean, obviously Musk can go to hell.

Exactly. And all of these things take something away from the worker - choice, time, money, type of residence. Only remote work is giving the worker something new and positive.

There’s real research on this now. Remote work does draw people to the suburbs, but their net vehicle miles traveled still decreases because the longest car trip that most people take is the work trip. So even though you’re more likely to take more short trips, they don’t add up to the emissions of the commute.
