Most car accidents involve at least one Toyota Camry. Does that mean Camrys are bad? No, it just means there are a lot of them.

Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while…)

including the dak side of it.

I assume you mean dark- but there is no dark side, the moon rotates with respect to the sun as it goes around the earth, so it has a day / night cycle of about a month.

And everybody clapped.

15mph on freeways, 1mph on city streets. Go!

underpasses flood

I’m in the Phoenix area, while that can happen, it’s a rare occurrence.

overpasses freeze.

Even rarer.

Really it all comes down to cost- we spend millions on adding more lanes to highways, but very little on local connecting roads… Why spend anything to fix a problem when we can profit from the problem?

Eh, they’re generally safer. They do tend to increase number of accidents, but because they force you to slow down and merge, they’re generally minor. More fender benders, fewer fatal wrecks, isn’t that a good thing?

While I hate photo enforcement as much as the next guy, this is a piss poor argument against it. Have you never been fucked over by a lying cop? I have. Camera tickets are way easier to fight.

Because they’re not just taking a picture when triggered - they stream full motion video back to HQ full time. That should tell you how much money is up for grabs.

My city is installing red light cameras because of course milking drivers for missing the yellow by 1/2 second is better than actually fixing the problem of having hundreds of right angle crossings between roads with speed limits over 40mph (so people routinely go 50+ simply because they can)…

If we replaced some of those with roundabouts, others with over/underpasses, that might actually reduce fatal collisions, but that would cost money rather than rake it in, so…

I was thinking more of a washing machine with an off balance load…

Dishes done.

This is similar to my strategy when I was little, like 4-6 years old, whenever anyone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. The truth was I didn’t know, but if I said that, the asker would keep pestering me with stuff like “what about a policeman or a fireman or doctor” etc etc etc and I knew I didn’t want to be any of those- so I would say “a chicken” and they would assume I was brain damaged and leave me alone.

But there’s money to be made…

If your employer is halfway decent, sure. Unfortunately some (like mine) will start denying pto requests once you hit 2 weeks. So then you say “fine, I’ll take it unpaid” and they say “that’s not an option.” The fuck it is…

Even when my wife & son were both in the ER with it, my daughter and I tested negative. I had pneumonia once and then bronchitis a couple times, still tested negative. I’m convinced I have a weird immune system and just won’t ever test positive even if I have it.

I mean, it’s not untrue…

Please provide one example

Kind of implies that you think it never happens…

Nonono, that’s a stupid puzzle game. The word you’re looking for is sardaukar.

There are lots of reasons this wouldn’t work, but yours isn’t one of them. Plenty of coastal cities have already done this on a small scale, whole neighborhoods are built on fill- back bay in Boston, marina district in San Francisco just to name a couple. And as a bonus, a good strong earthquake turns it to soup, so every so often you can wipe the slate clean and start over.
