Me, a road cyclist: “I don’t see what the problem is. Why not 110?”

Yeah they could probably stand to lose the more southern of the two ramp sets at Delta Park, feels very extra and overall unhelpful. Of course ODOT’s solution, beyond replacing the bridge, is to widen I-5 south of the bridge - Which anyone with a brain and 50 years of highway traffic studies can tell us would directly contribute to worsening the problem.

This driver is distinct from that driver. We definitely have those too, and they have my sympathies. But this driver is the one who just thinks to themself that it would be nice to go slow for a while, on a lark. Or they don’t think at all and in that brief 15 seconds of brain death their nerves stop sending signals to their foot to press the gas.

It’s usually a complex crowd effect created by many participants trying to maneuver among each other in slightly disperate ways.
In Portland OR, it really is because some dingbat slowed down to 20 MPH on the interstate for literally no fucking reason at all.

Actually for real, at least for the kind of aftermarket stuff I buy I usually do check CL first.

Ebay is a great place to be a buyer. Absolutely fucked place to be a seller. Be nice to your sellers folks, they don’t have it that great.

Back in the day on the very rare occasion that I had a 7 or G train car all to myself, I’d belt out the loudest operatic singing voice I could manage. There’s nowhere on Earth more isolated than an empty NYC subway car, gotta seize that opportunity.

Fairly certain it stacks in more western nations than it doesn’t. I know a woman in Australia who fucked off for almost a full year after saving up time for a decade.

Rolling them over would be better, but most full time jobs do cash out your unused PTO onto the last paycheck of the financial year.

My account of 12 years got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit, that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened.

- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 1 month ago:
I think the math works out that each year the average American has roughly 1 in 10,000 chance of dying in a car crash and a 1 in 200 chance of being injured in a car crash (Though the second stat likely leaves out a lot of unreported injuries). The average American rolls those dice once a year.

Lost World had some fun stuff (Despite diverging from it’s book even worse than the first movie) but you’re really not missing much, none of the sequels come within a mile the original.

I think you touched on why. Ethnic identity is somewhat arbitrary, and tied up with national / cultural identity. In the US, despite our xenophobic phases most of us culturally identify as a nation of immigrants. So in terms of ethnicity, we’re more concerned with where our lineage existed before arriving in the United States, rather than how long it’s existed in the United States. There’s a bit of a hierarchy of “who’s family has existed in the US the longest”, but all of those claims are still anchored by which nations their ancestors came from.
There’s also the fact that American genetics haven’t been sedentary long enough - And probably never will be - For us to mix evenly enough to develop a unified physical appearance. Ethnicity is of course not just skin deep, but ethnic identity and identification often uses it as shorthand, and there is as far as I know no stereotypical American ethnic appearance.
