The Only time that you will experience all of the highways that cross through Mesquite that are under construction at the same time. Meanwhile while we wait for some official information on this project let's check out this recent aerial's photos of the neighboring 635 East Project.

Just drove into Garner and it looks like so far new signs (route shields and mile marks have been added) and the supports for the new NC-36 exit have been installed along the Clayton Bypass. The US-70 shields and mile markers are still in place for now.

I've been running at 1920x1080 since about 2010...

But what you're using doesn't mean ther hasn't been improvements. You're just choosing to use a feature you're comfortable with.

Quote from: Henry on February 17, 2025, 10:43:17 PMThis is just like the rumor that went around telling us that Facebook was going to charge its users to continue with its service. AFAIK, that was a stupid idea to begin with, and I'm glad it didn't come to pass. Hope the same will be true of this one too.

You're confusing a rumor with an actual proposal. Facebook never came up with the idea and never proposed such, so there was never a "stupid idea" to begin with. And this rumor has been in circulation since 2009, yet people still continue to believe it when their friends forward or post the same false information.

I don't want to think about having to go back to 1920×1080.

I like my screen real estate, and I like the way that Microsoft Flight Simulator looks with high-end graphics cards that have come onto the market.   And the data-crunching and modeling I can do via my work computers... I'm doing stuff today that I could barely dream about (or had no realistic chance of getting a budget and time to do the work with the contemporary technology) 15 years ago.

I can't find my photo of Alabama 116 at SR 39, but here's a uni-sign of the meetup. These are starting to take the place of the large "sine salads" but I think this is the first two-shield panel I've seen in the state.

All-Star games in all sports are stupid in the era of free agency.

Quote from: I-35 on July 05, 2023, 10:34:48 AMAs stated above, it's to prevent confusion of FM 121 with TX 121.  It seems like the more appropriate solution would be to renumber FM 121, as it comes within three miles of intersecting with TX 121 at Trenton anyways.

Texas 70 and US 70 cross in Matador, and there will be an interchange between US 69 and I-69 in Lufkin, so it's nothing new for them. It's the Texas way!
Interchange? There will evidently be a 5-mile concurrency.

Quote from: Ted$8roadFan on Today at 05:59:56 AMThere has been a lot of hubbub about the decline of the All-Star Game, and the increasingly desperate gimmicks the league has done to make players care and fans watch again. I wonder if a USA vs the world tournament, kind of like the Four Nations Face-Off in the NHL, would be a solution. 

Didn't they try that already?

Anyway, until the players care, and I completely understand why they don't, its going to be bad.

Quote from: thspfc on February 17, 2025, 09:47:11 PMHowever that still doesn't prove the original point that profit incentives never make a difference for any product.

It might, but it's so hard to come up with a recent example nobody has done so...

*Automobiles are more expensive, but they are also way better now than they ever have been. Safer, more reliable, more "gadgets," etc.

*Movie theatres cost more, but have better seating options, and the sound and picture is better than ever.

*Phones are way more expensive than ever, but they do a million times more than the cell phones of decades ago.

I could list a dozen more if you want me to.
