It's interesting you say that, cause in the last few years I've noticed more and more trucks that never exit the left lane. They can be the only vehicle on the road for a few hundred feet in either direction but they'll still sit in the left, even when a car caravan catches up and is forced to pass them on the right.

It's honestly the most egregious in a few sections of highway I drive where there are "Left lane js for passing only" signs every few hundred feet (literally every 10-20 seconds driving).

From the article it sounds like in an interview they accused the governor of embezzlement, which is an actual crime. I'm not a lawyer or anything close to it, but my understanding is that the (now former) governor could have good grounds to sue for defamation, since he was not convicted of defamation at that time. It's like why newsrooms can't call someone a murderer or rapist until they're convicted.

Congratulations, you've killed all political participation.

The Forest is a good multiplayer survival crafting game, with a pretty cool story. The sequel is also already out I think.

Like how Marvel writers lately keep saying they're getting hate for writing strong female leads, when really they're getting hate for writing idiotic Mary Sue's.

I live in DFW right now. I'll admit i don't commute through downtown proper daily, but even when i do go through downtown after work it's bad, but not nearly as bad as plenty of other places in thr US.

15-45 minutes... I'm not exactly knowledgeable about pizza delivery logistics, so forgive me if I'm wrong about specifics. There was a decade or so where every chain promised delivery in 30 minutes or the pizza was free, but that's no longer a guarantee these days.

Pizza delivery has electronically heated insulated containers for the drivers to keep the pizza in during the drive. Generally I think they group up orders so one delivery driver will hit up maybe 10-20 deliveries in that one run. It's normally not driving 20 miles just to deliver one pizza.

Our cities aren't densely built up, except for New York. The actual urban area of most cities generally has far fewer people than the suburban metroplex surrounding it. 6.5km is literally larger than all of downtown Dallas, depending on how you define downtown.

Even our cities are designed for car travel, so unless it's rush hour you're still faster by car. Unless there's a concert or other event happening, it doesn't take nearly 20 minutes to traverse downtown Dallas in a car.

Are you in the US? I've literally never seen a delivery driver on a bike, except for that action movie about bike couriers in NYC.

... Silk is used as a cold weather baselayer in active wear? Not sure if it performs differently as an outer layer, but it's got solid insulating properties for keeping in heat

Mars is an example of why the natural process isn't exactly reliable either... You can engineer things to be as durable as planets, there's just generally not much demand for a project to be that costly in resources. In this case, I'm pretty sure making an artificial magnetic field that's more durable than the natural one would also be cheaper than recreating the natural one.
