I miss covid traffic. Only plus side of a global pandemic.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

We're in lockdown, and traffic is still the same.

City traffic rebounded quickly enough, but highway traffic was very reduced for a long time.

It's one of my big worries from covid that it could knock back the shift away from cars by decades. Fingers crossed current numbers don't hold long term.

I went from a reliable transit user to commuting in my vehicle every day.  I'd like to go back to using LRT, but I still don't feel comfortable doing so yet.

Man we really over did it with the Panama canal.

Finally a map that retaliates for the removal of New Zealand by removing the British Isles.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The makers of that map should have fastened the parts together better.  Some bits have slipped and others have fallen off completely.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I don't think there's any limit to the number of articles I'd enjoy reading on high-end antiquities smuggling/trade :blush:

Haven't watched Kyle Kallgren's "Brows Held High" reviews in a while, but I still follow him on Twitter. Apparently he reviewed Starship Troopers and at one point called the uniforms "full SS gear", which prompted this response:
