So have I. 

Including ex-secondaries Va. 7100 (286) and 7900 (289) in Fairfax County and Va. 3000 (294) in Prince William County.

Putting those aside since they are now primaries, the longest one I have clinched might be Va. 659 in Prince William and Loudoun Counties at a little over 18 miles.

And Va. 609 in Dickenson and Buchanan Counties (thanks to you) between 9 and 10 miles.

That'll depend.  Some will say as long as they were in the airport they clinched it.  Others will say they had to get some sort of receipt to show they were in it.  And then others will claim they were there, and tell others how (great it was)(badly it sucked) based on the popular opinion of others.

Does Cutten need a freeway bypass (http://www.topix.com/member/profile/thealan360)

With possible OP:

Quote
Cutten is a small town next to Eureka (a medium sized city) and Cutten is home to many homes, businesses, and schools, Cutten is also next to Ridgewood Heights and Campton Heights, and maybe Cutten could have a freeway bypass, Hwy 101 will not bypass cutten, since it goes through Eureka, California State Route 30 will be the new number for the Cutten Freeway, the McKay Tract will either be torn down, or the bypass will be bulit in the middle of the forest, mean if a bypass is bulit, what will happen to the species, what will happen to all of the forest, all trees will have to be cut, or another way could be that the forest and the animals can survive, with the bypass going through the forest, the freeway will begin near the College of the Redwoods Interchange, and the freeway will end just east of Myrtletown, and Hwy 30 will continue as Myrtle Avenue to Eureka, Hwy 30 will begin as a freeway bypassing Cutten, and go east of Myrtletown, and the freeway wil end at Myrtle Avenue, and Hwy 30 will continue as Myrtle Avenue through Myrtletown and Eureka, well thats my plan, Cutten Residents what are your opinions.

I had a couple of teachers that required this. They maintained their own gradebook, but you were required to keep your own grade sheet as well, so you could know what your current grade for the class was. One teacher that required the grade sheet also required it to serve as a quasi-table of contents for a binder containing all of the graded homework and all of our notes from class, in the order assigned. She would occasionally collect the notebooks and verify that everything was present and organized, and we would receive a grade on that.

I don't remember any of the math she failed to teach us, but boy do I remember her bureaucratic notebook horseshit.

Could an airline route count as a "partial clinch" if the route is one where a single flight number is used but multiple stops are made en route? Say, for example, you had a US Air flight that went from, I don't know, Philadelphia to Charlotte to Cancun all with the same flight number. If you flew the PHL to CLT portion, is that a "partial clinch"?

I don't think so. A multi-stop flight is effectively multiple routes using the same plane.
Which is why I counted SFO - DTW, DTW - MEM, MEM - MCO as three separate routes.

Post by: formulanone on December 20, 2013, 02:44:09 PM
The Mob-Rule of flying, Flightmemory, basically considers a ticket with a departure and an arrival, with each stop-overs to count as individual segments. Basically, a take-off and landing is a segment, and even many airlines count those "segments" where you get on and off a plane as a trip.

I very nearly had a partial route clinch. Here's how: New York to Honolulu direct, but ran low on fuel and had to pit-stop in LAX. So... emergency landings could count, especially if you then abandon the remainder of the route.

145 would have been all in one day. It's only 7 miles!

Looking at a map, I definitely did not do the part of 107 between Lynn and Salem. South of Lynn I detoured to the I-95 grading (when it was still a big mound of dirt, 10+ years ago).

The Rhineland doesn't fit past tense as we still do use the definite article.

THE Alanland did and did not stand for 'The High Ethan's Alanland', so it wasn't really a definite article it lost, but Ethan's ownership. The goats who ousted him (and butted Eureka PD after they were called into something that wasn't their jurisdiction) feel that if you have to say you own a country, you don't actually own it, hence it's just 'Alanland' now.

Crap parts of my Troll posts are partially true. BBC News Said

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25863200

"In the latest incident, police said the singer had been racing a yellow Lamborghini against another sports car in the early hours of Thursday.
The Miami Herald reported that members of the musician's entourage had apparently used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, effectively creating a drag strip.
Miami-Dade Police said the star didn't co-operate with officers at first, questioning why he had been stopped. He also had an invalid Georgia driver's license, they alleged."


Damn Bieber's crew planned a shut down on a Miami Street for a Drag Racing while drunk and stoned Study. I thought this was going to be fictional and random troll statements but now they turn out to be true.

IMHO, much of the animosity towards the Clearview font is more directed towards how many transportation agencies misinterpreted its intended implementation.  Beyond just overimplementation, many states either made the letter heights unnecessarily larger (Clearview's original intended purpose was to avoid such upsizing) or featured letter spacing that was either too far or too close together; resulting in many signs looking completely disproportionate or like an after-thought.

How many toddlers' foreskins have you pulled back? (Yeah, a bit over the top but guaranteed not to surface)

That's an understatement. I'm surprised that Scott didn't purple-line this out.

If you were serious, you would likely be banned and reported to local law enforcement.

Actually, there's a whole profession -- or at least a subset of a profession -- that does just that activity on a regular basis.  The profession is "mohel"; a rabbi trained in the art of the "brit milah", more commonly known as "bris" --  the ritual circumcision of Jewish males when they're 8 days old (and sometimes later, depending upon the parents' choice).  Of course, they need to pull back the foreskin before cutting it off, so that activity is part of the process.  Nothing particularly predatory to be found here (although some organized opposition to the act of circumcision in general has been seen at times).  I'm just surprised that other posters didn't cite mohels before now.  My 1st wife was Jewish, so I was privy to witness the bris of her nephew (I gritted my teeth during the whole event -- and was somewhat relieved that we had a daughter!).

Approximately 100 miles in eastern Colorado, when I succumbed to highway hypnosis.  I came out of it in Denver, drifting towards a truck in city traffic.

Nice point. In my country circumcision is only done due to medical reasons, and as such I despise it if it's done for other reasons. Don't fix what is not wrong. Besides, my (controversial) proposal asked for toddlers, not babies (who usually don't have a retractable foreskin, while most of 3 year old boys have).

Anyway, more proposals:

Channel bridge-tunnel opened (linking France and the UK)

I was under the impression that they still kind of talked about that stuff in school around 5th grade?  Definitely was an awkward comment when I saw it.  Hopefully he just asks and doesn't look, the internet is a BAD place to type anything questionable into a search engine.

MT 47 since you have 70 MPH speed limits in addition easy access to make a high speed escape on your choice of I-90, I-94, and if you're crafty even US 212.

It is a near certainty that some shorter 3dis have been walked by litter pickup patrols, highway construction crews, facility maintenance folks, etc.

Also I-180 in Wyoming is probably walked every day by somebody as it has sidewalks on nearly all of it and a well worn foot path where it doesn't...

I didn't look on the back for a sticker but I assume they're DOT-issued (or at least DOT-sanctioned) as they're posted in the right-of-way.  As the road also is designated as Historic US-66, I assume the signs are part of promoting the road as a tourist destination.

I nominate the one at Panorama Point, about 3 miles and 1500 ft of elevation gain by trail from the trailhead at Paradise, Mt. Rainier National Park.  It's a thing of beauty, a natural hollow in the rock face enclosed by fine stonework, now a solar powered device dries the waste so only a small amount has to be airlifted out.  All construction materials, except the local stone, had to be helicoptered in.  Lovely handmade hinges and latch.  The inside is about 8 x 10 feet, except irregularly shaped.

Dingleberry removal techniques

Post by: J N Winkler on November 30, 2016, 08:49:53 PM
Dingleberry removal techniques

Removal

Wet a washcloth with warm tap water and use it to wipe the anus and surrounding areas.  Rinse the resulting brown streaks off the washcloth.  Repeat until streaks are no longer visible on the washcloth before it is rinsed.  Do not use soap, since it will irritate the skin around the anus.  For best results, do this during a shower, with a washcloth separate from the one used for soap application.

Prevention

Stools showing the greatest propensity to leave bits of fecal matter clinging to hair around the anus have a sticky, clayey texture that is comparable to Play-Doh or used chewing gum.  This typically results from stool overconsolidation as a result of too little water, too little dietary fiber, or both, and can be effectively prevented by maintaining fiber intake at 100% of the RDA (minimum) on an ongoing basis, and drinking at least eight glasses of water daily (each glass containing about two cups).

My own brochure collection (less than a shelf foot for over 20 years' worth of park visits) is all post-Unigrid.  These days it seems to be more common to fade the 100-point black strip at the top into the cover photo, and there also seems to have been a change in house typeface (formerly Helvetica, now something that looks very like Roissy; I have two different editions of the Yellowstone brochure, one before the change and one following it).

I'm pretty sure we'll never see multiple threads about gum.

Oh, wait.....



Anyone remember when they used to make over-the-counter or prescription drugs in chewing gum form? I think it was inspired by the chewing gum craze of the '70s and '80s.

I was in a motel room munching on an Arby's sandwich, when I realized it was so chewy I could probably blow a bubble with it. I don't think it was the meat that was so chewy. It was the bun. Just like it was gum or something.

Has anyone here ever bubbled (blown bubbles with bubble gum) while Roads Scholaring?

A friend was chewing bubble gum a couple weeks ago, and somehow she got hair stuck in her gum.

Have any of you ever gotten your wallet ruined by a chewed wad of bubble gum?

Arguably, that lands in #3, after the NY Giants' move to San Francisco (because of West Coast expansion) and Irsay using moving vans to move the Colts (because...moving vans). But I feel the Cleveland-Baltimore move of 1995 was one of the saddest ones; due to the immediate mid-season announcement, followed by the decay of player (not personal) morale, sponsors pulling out, and once-rabid fans not willing to show up.

I wonder if something crazier or stranger to a moving sports team has happened outside America. One or two racing teams have done some bizarre things, but that's for another forum*...besides, moving around is naturally part of the sport.

I'd say the Colts leaving Baltimore was much more impacting than the Browns.  The Colts basically just shipped up and left in the middle of the night.  My grand father was a huge Baltimore Colts fan and was absolutely crushed when that happened, he wouldn't even root for the Ravens because in his eyes it just wasn't the same.  Cleveland got their team back eventually which really mitigates what happened when the original Browns became the Ravens.

Oh they showed up -- with toolboxes and hacksaw at the final home game...They were taking out rows of bleacher and wooden seats, pieces of the turf and anything else.  I will say that announcing a move while still in-season is a little more of a slap in the face than doing an overnight secret move in the off-season.  Seeing a stadium full of blank advertising and no commercial breaks on the Browns radio broadcasts.  That was very surreal.

That might also explain the end-of-season win! I remember ESPN showing the fans hauling away anything and everything.

I have to hand it to their fans; it takes a certain amount of solidarity to intentionally not show up to most of the games...I think even the last home game wasn't a sell-out (could be wrong about this).

Crime has been a lingering problem in many of the Rust Belt's big and small urban communities, hampering economic recovery.[80] In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Youngstown was nationally identified with gangland slayings that were often committed with car bombs.[81] The town gained the nicknames "Murdertown, USA" and "Bomb City, USA," while the phrase "Youngstown tune-up" became a nationally popular slang term for car-bomb assassination.

Since he's buddies with Brady, Belichick and Kraft, it would be more likely that he would veto a Falcons win.

The worst act of Terrorism (domestic or otherwise) prior to Oklahoma City was in Bath, Michigan and involved a car bomb in addition to a school being rigged up for months to explode.  It is actually right down the street from where I went to High School, I'm amazed at how much it really is a forgotten and quite frankly f$@#ed up piece of American history:

Clinching parking garages

Does anyone else here "collect" clinched parking garages?  To count as clinched, I need to have driven on every ramp/lane and parked in every space (handicap and motorcycle spaces don't count, though).  I've been mapping my clinches for the last two years or so, and I was just curious to see if anyone else does this too.  I'm considering starting a website for fellow members to map their parking garage clinches, similar to the clinched highway mapping websites that have popped up from time to time.

A T-intersection where the terminating road is flared out to allow for higher-speed exiting and entering.

Here is an example of a high-speed RIRO. (https://goo.gl/maps/oz4v7o6nWsR2)

My first RIRO post was not referring to entrance/exit configurations that were essentially half a folded diamond, but rather streets that intersect a freeway/expressway without curved or banked ramps that allow exits and entrances greater than about 10-15mph -- like the old frontage road "interchanges" on CA 99 betgween Manteca and Stockton, now removed with the revamping of that highway.  IIRC, there's one remaining between Delano and Tulare as well NB.  Attempting high speed on any of those would put the driver into either the chain-link fence between the main lanes and the frontage road or spinning out into one of the adjoining fields!  The now-defunct ones north of Manteca also included stop signs (and very short merging lanes) at the freeway entrance.

Yes, like a wye junction.  A RIRO differs from a typical wye junction in that access is only to/form side of the through road.

This is a RIRO, for everyone's benefit:

The example I posted above is signed for 60 km/h, which actually seems a little low for the geometry.  (FWIW, left turns are handled instead my median U-turns farther downstream.)

Nope. Tom is a misc.transport.road and Facebook personality whose catchphrase is "do us all a favor and..." directed at some unpleasant person or entity. He always punctuated his diatribes with some random route in a state that could be upgraded to an Interstate.

To fix an ALCO (which had GE electrical gear at the time) required a piano tuner.  To fix an EMD only required a parts changer.

85 brings you to Alanland, 88 brings you back in time, and both at the same time gives you real-life admin powers (e.g. teleportation to wherever you want, ability to kick/mute/ban people, unlimited creation of any object, etc.).

Interstates in the portal to Alanland.

It's not a portal. It's a causeway that disappears if you go above or below 85 MPH.

I thought it was 88 MPH.

Not π/√-1 mph?

Here's a first paragraph, instead of just a thread title:

Quote from: Your local newspaper
A new bipartisan bill has been passed into law to try to reduce the number of "unfair" tickets. If a policeman writes you a ticket for speeding, and you are found not guilty, both the department the policeman is working for and the policeman himself must pay $200 each to the person found not guilty. If a red light camera or speed camera catches someone, and that person is not guilty, the department the red light camera is generating revenue for and the red light camera company must each pay $500 to the person found not guilty. This should significantly reduce tickets given by policemen and cameras, as they fear being wrong.

Well basically the deal with that place is that it was used as a natural horse corral above the Colorado River.  Basically at some point the corral became defunct and the fences were opened so the horses could, but they never did.  Essentially the horses on Dead Horse Point stayed in their corral until they died of starvation, so really more "Moron Horses."  Really UT 313 is a really cool place though, it edges the boundary of Canyonlands National Park in the Island of the Sky District along the way to Dead Horse.

The forum software polls support first past the post and approval, but no others. (I saw a poll on this forum once that included 50 options, one for each state plus DC. Imagine if you had to scroll past 720 listings just for each ordering of six options.)

As my first language is not English I may mix several varieties, even to the point of using two variations of the same word equally. I'm sometimes not sure about what words use, which recently led to a funny situation in the Craft Beer thread. As for the typos another vote for "Pencilvania", but I remember a "Person" for "Pearson", the latter having a slight negative connotation for me.

Any post or thread along the lines of "a statement I made earlier was incorrect."

We have actually had a number of posts containing apologies.  Forum search returns 26 pages' worth of results containing the string {apolog} (no braces), which should match apologies, apologize, apology, etc.  I certainly agree there are instances where regulars fail to acknowledge errors that they have made, but this is not the same as saying such acknowledgments never happen.

About IATA codes, I like the initials of the Chinese Proficiency Test, as they match the code of the closest airport to me: HSK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huesca%E2%80%93Pirineos_Airport)

Expanding to ICAO codes, too bad Ivory Coast doesn't have an airport with ICAO code DIPG (see above). I think we had a thread about airport codes before.

Depends on what side of the time zone you are.  Chances are the further east you are, the more favorable you find DST.  Except Alaska where everyone likely doesn't - since they're 2 timezones west of their natural time.

I suppose those qualify as “public” , but what I was envisioning was something truly out in the open–like on a street corner or in a public park.

Airports you've clinched?

How do you clinch an airport? Visit every gate? Take off or land on every runway?  Using every taxiway would be quite unlikely unless you're the pilot and the ground controller cooperative.

Been on every direct scheduled flight from that airport to some other airport at least once?


I know this is over 5 years old, but for a few years, I could say I clinched every commercial airline route out of HSV in 2014, with 9 routes on 4 airlines. That changed as two new airlines appeared, vying for Orlando; I may have to work on that one day. I can also count Albany, Georgia (ABY) and Columbus, Georgia (CSG), since they each have one airline and a single destination. This was back when I lived in Florida.

The last two feel like clinching I-175 and I-375 in St. Petersburg.

Not as far-fetched as it may sound. Kiribati moved to the other side of the Date Line a while back. Their time zones include UTC+13 and UTC+14.

Regarding DST, I was playing with the time entry software at the office and I found that I were to work from 1:00 to 3:00 this Sunday morning, it would credit me with two hours’ work (and pay) even though only one hour would elapse. I have no interest in being at work at that time even if I could (can’t–the secure server we use will be down for maintenance all weekend), and taking advantage of that strikes me as a good way to get fired.

Hopefully this won't antagonize the moderators, but if it does, I'll PM this message and delete the post. The term "standard time" simply refers to what international agreements define as the time, relative to UTC, for the meridian at the center of that time zone.

Of course all time is arbitrary. (The squirrels outside right now have no idea we set the clocks ahead last night.) There don't need to be 24 hours in a day, for example. The French Republican Calendar defined a day as being ten hours, each divided into 100 minutes, each of those then divided into 100 seconds. (So when people joke about "metric time," they often don't know there really was an attempt at that sort of thing.) I have an app on my phone that I downloaded just for fun that would tell me the current time using that calendar, but my phone is in the other room and I don't feel like going to get it.

Dick York or Dick Sargent
Only because no one prefers Dick Sargent.

And yet Sargent was reportedly the producers’ first choice to play Darren (!), but because he was unavailable due to a contractual issue (other sources state that Sargent turned the offer down), they had to “settle”  for Dick York instead.

York, as I have read, was too ill to continue which is why he was replaced. Sargent lasted 3 years.

Yes, according to a documentary I saw many years ago, Dick York had suffered a serious back injury during the filming of a Western film in the late ’50s, and it left him with chronic pain for the rest of his life. He began taking painkillers to cope and soon became addicted. On the documentary, some costars and crew members recalled that he’d shoot a scene then return to his dressing room where he’d put himself in a whole-body sling in an attempt to get relief. In addition to heavy drinking and smoking, his condition eventually deteriorated to the point that he couldn’t continue in the role.

By then, Dick Sargent was out of his commitment (or was in need of employment and willing to reconsider), and the producers simply went back to their first choice.

My gastronautical survey shows that 44 percent of everyone I questioned has eaten their own boogers as an adult, though only 2 percent admitted to ever having eaten someone else's.

For what it's worth, everybody eats their own snot, all day long, every day.  The cilia inside your nose are constantly transporting snot to the back of your throat, whereupon it drains down into your stomach.  Picking your nose and eating the snot is just a shortcut, and you may as well be efficient.

"What happened to the daylight saving time threads?"

I'm fascinated by the obsession with the topic here.  I keep expecting the topic to die off, but it has more lives than a litter of kittens.

On a related but unrelated topic, I kinda want to start a thread for "Daylight wasting time" and see if it gets locked.  I think that would be a good subject line for another Alanland-like discussion.

Over-moderation and anal-retentive moderation happened to them.

In all honesty, I started the DST 2019 thread just to see what would happen to it. I think the fascination with the subject, at least on my end, is because DST is such a good thing and the people who don't like it are wrong.  :-D

Tim has called it that for years. He's not a fan. Me, however; I'm loving the fact that there's plenty of daylight left when I get home in the evenings. I had to work late yesterday and it wasn't dark when I got home at 7:30, which is a good thing.

I had the A344–better known as the road past Stonehenge–clinched (and I still have it my Travel Mapping log because I view it as a valid clinch), but the road no longer exists. There’s now just a service road for shuttle buses taking people from the new visitors’ centre to the rocks.

I guess rather than “roads you’ve unclinched,”  this would go in “roads you clinched that no longer exist.”

Personally, I don't count realignments as needing to re-clinch a road. As long as I've clinched the section of road between two given points, that section remains clinched no matter if it gets realigned, rebuilt, etc. If it is renumbered, the clinched section counts toward the new designation. The only way I would consider a highway to get "unclinched" is a fully 100%ed route is extended.

This is the case for me and VA 164, which was extended since the last time I drove it. Last time I was down that way I had planned to re-clinch it, but a crash in the I-264 tunnel caused me to hear another way. (Interestingly, I ended up clinching another route because of that.)

Heck, how about the Lions even win a Division Title?

The Buccaneers have won the NFC Central (old)/NFC North crown more recently than the Lions, and the Bucs were sent out of the Central/North to the then-newly formed NFC South back in 2002

Roads that you have unclinched.
Believe it or not, it can happen!  I took a vacation to Iceland in 2017 and made an effort to drive and clinch the entire "Ring Road" (Route 1).  A scant two months after my trip, a section was re-routed in the eastern part of the state (near Egilsstaðir), killing my clinch.  And more recently, another stretch in the northern part (near Akureyri) was also re-routed, due to a tunnel completion.  Sigh.

And I don't foresee another visit in the near future to fix that.

Personally, I don't count realignments as needing to re-clinch a road. As long as I've clinched the section of road between two given points, that section remains clinched no matter if it gets realigned, rebuilt, etc. If it is renumbered, the clinched section counts toward the new designation. The only way I would consider a highway to get "unclinched" is a fully 100%ed route is extended.

I do allow for some leeway with re-alignments - usually approximately "within eyesight".  A realignment say 300 yards from the old road would be fine, or a new bridge built next to the old one.  If it's down a whole new corridor, maybe 10-20 miles apart, that might be different.  Or if it would look "wrong" when plotted on the "travelmapping.net" web site.  Kind of a "common sense" clause.

Also a related issue about driving roads before getting a certain designation.  I've driven some asphalt that is now I-11, I-42, I-87(NC) etc but before they received those numbers.  That's OK for me.

All of the examples listed never really got any big changes yet. I don't believe I-42 is designated anywhere yet, though I-11 and I-87 are.

Either way, the same principal applies really for me. If it's an existing freeway upgraded w/ shoulders or something or already interstate standards and has received a designation, it still counts even if I drove it before.

Now the real question is what if a non-limited-access highway is upgraded to interstate standards with new frontage roads, interchanges, etc? Would driving it before the limited-access upgrade count, or would the upgrade change it?

New alignments are separate too for me. If I've driven an arterial highway, but a freeway was built parallel to it as a "bypass" or simply a 4-lane realignment, I don't consider have driven that "freeway" yet if I've not physically driven on it.

I don't know how common this is elsewhere, but for a while I-295 in NJ near the lakes around Exits 14 - 16 were beginning to get a fair amount of RIRO traffic between interchanges, where people could drive off of I-295, take their cars down to the lake to drop off their small rowboats or kayaks, and then just park on the grass off of I-295.  Eventually the State Police must've informed the vehicle owners that this was a no-no so it eventually stopped.

Any threads about random explosions

Only because other people started piling on with their unfunny derivatives.
I was hoping "Sun Explosion" would be followed with "Earth Explosion" (keeping with the theme), but alas it went in different directions.

Adding to the actual topic (note: I don't actually support this proposal):

Suggestions and Questions: Proposal for a new board for off-topic sections of long-running threads

The proposal is about sections of threads, like the last 20 replies or so of this one, that have gone off topic, and none of these would work:

* doing nothing, as the thread would devolve into Alanland or fierce politics debates (depending on the thread)
* splitting the thread, as the off-topic section doesn't really have a theme
* removing the offending posts, as it's more than a page
* locking the thread, as the actual topic would be lost

Previous threads have had different approaches. The AHTD to ARDOT thread devolved into pirate jokes and was then locked, while there was entire dam jokes thread that was split from another one.

I’m pretty sure I never participated in the Alanland thread, as in general I don’t visit “Fictional Highways”  very often. (There’s the difficulty with the question: If there’s a long thread on a subforum you don’t visit, you wouldn’t know about it to cite in response to the question. I don’t visit several of the regional fora, as well as “Fictional Highways.”  I doubt I’m unique in that respect.)

IIRC, the post you linked came from the period after the moderators locked the Alanland thread and then got so tired of people constantly mentioning Alanland elsewhere that they put in a word filter to ban the word "Alanland" (obviously the filter has been removed). I recall one of the moderators saying something like, "The thread is closed, and we're tired of people not being willing to accept that" (not in those exact words, of course), and I believe my post was made in that context.

Correct.  I generally glance at the bottom which shows the 10 recent posts, and may dive into the Northeast subforum or General Highway.  After that, I'm not actively looking into many other subforums.

Somewhere rural, since the house is described as being on a lane, but somewhere close to London, since Arthur (I believe) works for the BBC and met Trillian and Zaphod at a party in Islington.

Well, it does say he moved out of London and into the country. An address is actually given, but the region it gives doesn't exist. Islington is too close to be called the countryside. It's within the M25.

The route you described is also part of the CANAMEX Corridor and goes all the way to the Alaska Highway. With some upgrades and bypasses we could create an interstate all the way to Grande Prairie if the US and Canada ever do a bi-national interstate system.

Technically only one that has zero at grades on either side (ON 405 > I-190).

There are several that sort of count; the Peace Bridge (NY-ON) is actually a freeway only on the Canadian side, while the Thousand Islands (NY) and Peace Arch (WA) are at least free flowing if not freeway by definition.

And the Gordie Howe International Bridge, when it's done, will directly connect I-75 with ON 401.

Technically isn't a freeway, since each side has a crosswalk before crossing the border.

I don't see any at-grades on ON 402.  I'd count the Peace Bridge as freeway-freeway now that the at-grade on the NY side has been removed, even though the bridge would still be a super-2.

Going down the whole border:
-I-5/BC 99 has an at-grade intersection north of the border and crosswalks in the park
-I-15 becomes an at-grade expressway
-I-29 becomes an at-grade expressway
-I-75 just ends
-I-94/ON 402 - see above, no at-grades detected
-Ambassador Bridge - direct freeway interchange on US side, surface street in CA
-ON 401 - will be freeway/freeway when the bridge is completed
-Peace Bridge/QEW - see above, freeway in CA, direct freeway interchange in NY
-I-190/ON 405 - see above, freeway/freeway
-I-81/ON 137 - surface street in CA before becoming a freeway and connecting to ON 401; super-2 bridges on either side
-I-87/A-15 - at-grade with stop sign on CA side
-I-89 - becomes (brief) four lane expressway, not 100% sure if it will be free of at-grades if/when A-35 is completed
-I-91/A-55 - at-grade with traffic light on CA side, second at-grade 5km from the border
-US 201/QC 173 - would become the reverse of the typical situation if A-73 were to be completed (not likely)
-I-95/NB 95 - at-grade on CA side
-NB 1 - freeway on CA side, ends on US side - could become freeway/freeway if Maine were to actually build the east-west Turnpike they keep talking about

This is all light-years better than the situation on the border when Mexico, which has nothing even remotely resembling a freeway-freeway crossing, at least for cars; trucks have the World Trade Bridge.

Our friends regularly use the Anzaldúas crossing, and that definitely meets the criterion of "remotely resembling a freeway-freeway crossing".  There are only two at-grade intersections and zero stoplights or stop signs (not counting customs) between I-2 and Fed-40 (https://goo.gl/maps/F7w2USCAkVAcn9kJ9)–a distance of 12 miles.  I-2 is a freeway, although it interchanges with FM-396 via diamond interchange.  Fed-40 isn't quite a freeway, but it is a major multi-lane highway.

I didn't consider a customs stop or military checkpoint to be in violation of a freeway-to-freeway connection.  For what it's worth, it's often possible to drive from Mexico into the USA and not have to stop at all until US customs.  I've even driven south into Mexico a couple of times when the border was wide open and I could have proceeded without stopping at all (except for the toll booth) if I hadn't needed any paperwork.

Longest time spent sleeping while driving behind the wheel

There's a very similar topic on here already. (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=20194.msg2224054#msg2224054)

That has to involve I-80 in Nebraska, right?

My longest stretch of highway hypnosis was on I-70 in eastern Colorado.

Spanish wine region conquers whole World

(This stems from a social network bot that simulated a World War. It went viral in Spain because it was one of several powers that had arisen, and the bot creator made another bot simulating a civil war between the Spanish provinces, which was won by Rioja. Eventually Spain won the World War, leading to some to say it was actually Rioja the territory that controlled the whole World).

A thread you won't see on this forum for more than a couple days is any thread involving daylight saving time. Apparently the moderators have decided that DST is too "touchy" of a subject to be discussed and needs to be locked down.  Nevermind the fact that there has been significant progress towards a change to permanent daylight savings time and it's becoming a real possibility that it will happen.  Such a change would have significant impacts on our daily lives and it seems like a legitimate discussion to have... but apparently not.

Here's a thread from 2013:

I detest exclamation marks in brands.

indeed.  the only thing worse is question marks in a brand, like "The Thing?" (Arizona tourist trap), and a brand of jeans which placed, oddly enough, a question mark after an imperative - but I believe they have gone away from it and now are simply "Guess", which is abstruse and postmodern-for-the-sake-of-being-postmodern* but otherwise not all that objectionable.

* is there any other sake? probably not

Guess? has existed since 1981.

I was in the back, so I didn't see the whole thing, but according to my dad a motorcycle came over the median barrier on either the Dan Ryan, Edens, or Kennedy (wasn't paying attention) and he ran into it before being able to stop. No one hit us from the back, though there were two more cars stopped behind us. I remember finally making it to the place we were spending the night, my grandparents' old house in Muskego, Wisconsin, at around 3 in the morning, not being allowed to see the damage to the front of the car, and two days later taking a Nissan Altima rental car home to South Dakota.

It wouldn't be. People like your post to save it somewhere on their personal profile (that only they can see, like saving posts on Reddit), and a like shows up on the post. Other than that, there is no gain. No karma points. It's basically like saving the post as a bookmark on your browser and letting the poster know that you did it. Likes would still be anonymous though.

As for a popularity contest, whatever post stays at or near the top of a forum section without being pinned there could be considered popular (e.g. the FritzOwl thread in Fictional Highways).

Roads that can only be driven at a snail's pace.

The Little Shepherd Trail (KY 1679) along the top of Pine Mountain in southeastern Kentucky.

Drove this with my dad back in the 1990s. About one-third of it was paved, and even then, it was basically a one-lane road with lots of curves. The rest was gravel, with potholes and ruts so bad that a 4WD was necessary. I think the road runs for about 40 miles; it took us more than four hours. The drive down (KY 11-KY 66-Hal Rogers Parkway-US 421) plus the drive back (US 119-KY 15-KY 52) took less time than the drive across the LST itself.

Quote from: Orlando Sentinel
Red light camera in Louisa caught cheating

The red light camera at the intersection of US 27 and Central St. in the newly incorporated city of Louisa has intentionally been turning red early to catch drivers. It senses that a driver is coming, and then the light turns red before the car passes through.

It has been confirmed that the county name on your license plate determines how likely it is to cheat against you. There are rumors that it also considers your bumper stickers, but this is unlikely.

The red light camera has been fixed. It continues to operate in the same way that all other red light cameras do now. The tickets issued previously will not be overturned.

That was actually common in Arizona, especially when Elk were involved.  California just passed a road kill law recently.  In the case of the elk it can be some pretty good meat if the kill is still relatively fresh.

If memory serves correct, in Arkansas, the meat (mostly deer) is donated to a local homeless shelter.

Hey, why waste the meat if it isn't spoiled?  Some friends I was with in Payson, Arizona hit an elk about a decade back.  We took it back to the camp ground and it was actually pretty good all things considered.

West Virginia has a roadkill cookoff every year: https://pccocwv.com/wv-roadkill-cook-off/

I seem to recall seeing a news report once about West Virginia passing a statute guaranteeing the motorist's right to keep and consume any roadkill caused by his striking a creature unless the roadkill is human. I'm not sure which part I find more notable–that they felt the need to enact a statute giving you the right to the meat, or that they thought it likely enough that there are cannibals in West Virginia that they needed the "human meat" exception.

I'm not talking about acid reflux, I'm talking about foods that actually induce enough nausea that they could make one vomit.  I haven't quite gotten there myself, but there are been a couple food items over the years that got me gagging enough that I was close.  I kind of have gotten the same reaction at times when looking at things like compound fractures, the only thing I can figure is that it is just sheer revulsion.

That seems more like a Bandit type thread to make and it would probably involve gum somehow.  While I haven't been around for that half century it has been just slightly over 3/8ths of one.  The real thing that ought to spook someone my age is that I'm through half of my life expectancy of an adult male.  Perhaps we could open the floor to discussion about proposals for biological immortality?  I would imagine regenerating telomeres in humans could be quite useful since our growth rate stops.  Cloning technology could be useful if there was some sort of memory download, the real trick is how artificially age your replacement body so one doesn't have to relive childhood.

Interesting enough. I believe in this generation we will see life expectancy pushed to 100+. Thats just with new advances in medicine. Now think about bionic implants, we are looking at 150+ years.

But between this movie  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)  (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film))

& this game  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex:_Mankind_Divided   (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex:_Mankind_Divided)


They have a couple kinks to work out with Bionic implants & Uploading people into PCs.

I do believe that is the future tho, but we will have to work out the kinks.

Wait hol up! Whats wrong with Hamburger helper? It is just a base, you can throw your own mix of ingredients in it. I wouldn’t get the crazy flavors they think are “good”  but they have some good recipes & mind you I make most of my foods from scratch.



Too much salt, too many preservatives and artificial ingredients. I'd rather make spaghetti sauce from scratch (and have)
I 1000% agree with you 71 & I love natural foods & cooking my own. But sometimes I do not feel like cutting veggies up & doing the other processes it takes at 12am. After I got home from a long ass day. & this is coming from a 21 year old with energy.

More like twenty years, I'm not quite that old for it to be a half century. 

I'm not talking about acid reflux, I'm talking about foods that actually induce enough nausea that they could make one vomit.  I haven't quite gotten there myself, but there are been a couple food items over the years that got me gagging enough that I was close.

Interesting enough. I believe in this generation we will see life expectancy pushed to 100+. Thats just with new advances in medicine. Now think about bionic implants, we are looking at 150+ years.

While things like bionic implants may be in the future, there is no way there they are going to fully stop the progression of aging.  And for someone who has trained their entire life, would you suddenly want the aid of some sort of device to help you do what you no longer can?  About a decade ago I was hit by a car which yielded a compound fracture in my left forearm.  In that particular case I was looking at seriously permanent disability if the arm wouldn't stay set...which it didn't.  Thankfully a plate could be installed and I was able to recover after some long rehab to get the strength in the arm back.  I'm cool with having plate giving me the opportunity to earn my way back from an injury, I don't know how I would feel if I suddenly could just replace the arm entirely a superior cybernetic/bionic replacement. 

One thing I do know, given how little my grand parents could do at the end of their lives I'm not really sure even living in my 80s would be worth it.  All they really ever did past 75 was sit around as body and mind crumbled through the progression of aging finally catching up.

I agree, but with bionics that should eliminate the problem with aging parts.


What do we notice that fails with aging?

-Are our limbs slowing down or the nerves? I believe it’s limbs & not nerves since Ive seen people that are 70 move better then someone who was 50.

-Eyes arent as clear.

-Hair loss.

-Muscle loss.

-Heart


I think our nervous system & wiring have longer life in them lets say 60-80 more years.

Its just the major organs or body parts that seem to fail quicker then we do.

Then the question must be why would our organs fail quicker then our wiring? The food we eat? Pollution? Can medicine reverse the faster damage of important body parts before bionics?

Edit: Also I too have a metal implant, in my wrist from a fracture I acquired from trying to stop my car from rolling & hitting another car. I stopped it, but with my wrist & in between the front of my car (98 Acura Tl) & the side of a (2015 charger). & without that metal implant, Id probably have a hook. Imagine a simple piece of metal saves people, now put some technology into it.

No matter what bionic implants won't stop cell death.  So essentially you could have a gradually be replaced by more or parts as vital organs fail and/or die.  While that might have some practical applications for someone who has a disorder, was in an accident or was even replacing an organ that had cancer the prospect of prolonging life for the sake of prolonging it seems morbid to me.  Essentially if things were to reach the level you see in Science Fiction someone literally would become more machine over time as more of their body dies.

Yeah, both deteriorating physical abilities and mental acuity impinge upon one's older existence.  OTOH, each passing day is an ever smaller percentage of your overall life, so you don't treat the passage of time as a problematic issue in itself (at least I've come not to!).  I hit 70 next week, and I'm just now reviving a business that I shut down in 2004 (audio manufacturing -- my OEM clients migrated their production needs to China back then), albeit on a decidedly smaller scale.  But keeping one's self busy during the 8th decade of living seems to be one of the keys to not just shrugging one's shoulders and letting age "do its thing", so to speak.  With bad knee joints and the occasional lower-limb pain, it'd be easy to just kick back and wait for Netflix updates!  But if I don't keep going at a rational pace, I have no doubt I'd be a functional vegetable in 2-3 years (my nurse GF's entreaties notwithstanding).  My business partner is almost 73 and is going in for his 2nd major back surgery (to fix a problem from the 1st back in 2012); I'll probably be buying out his share in a couple of years, since he's more inclined to see retirement as a goal rather than an undesirable alternative.   Fortunately my dad lived to 91, and my mom, despite periodic onset of various illnesses, made it to 80 -- so there's something of a genetic chance that age won't faze me all that much (although I could stand to lose 15-20 pounds so there's less of a burden on my lower limbs!). 

But the upshot of all this is that IMO keeping busy with enterprises that depend upon your own continued "plugging away" may be the key to actually sticking around a bit longer than the normal sell-by date!

When I worked at a dealership with a lot of older customers, a lot of them (maybe one-third) told me that they couldn't stand retirement after about 6 to 24 months. These were mostly well-heeled to upper-middle-class retirees which could afford a nice luxury car and usually did not have labor-intensive careers in their past, but many of them were willing to either donate their time or even doing something simple for the sake of being out in society.

I think some of them just wondered/worried if they'd outlive their savings, their circle of friends became too limited, or tired of their spouse. Or they were genuinely bored after playing the same rounds of golf, swimming, tennis, watching too much TV, and having mostly no place to go other than to catch an early-bird special. A lot of them said that they needed to keep their mind sharp, and maybe after you've had a career where you felt successful about making decisions and solving problems, you don't want to be limited in your choices.

I can see where someone who really thrown their body into their work for 40 years might not feel the same way, or that it might be tough for those living paycheck-to-paycheck to even ponder retirement in the first place.

What is up with the California State Route Florida State Road 97 shield?

It was originally part of the Epcot Test Track ride, which opened in 1997.

Well that’s an odd duck to say the least.  It would go great in my garage with all the other California spades if I could get my hands on it. 

Speaking of Florida Man is it just me or a solid third of the real/fake stories somehow involving Pasco County as of late?

Maybe Hamburger Helper Guy could get a new bionic finger.  :-D

Wait hol up! Whats wrong with Hamburger helper? It is just a base, you can throw your own mix of ingredients in it. I wouldn’t get the crazy flavors they think are “good”  but they have some good recipes & mind you I make most of my foods from scratch.


iPhone

It induces my gag reflex from the memory of my Mom's lesser cooking endeavors.

Speaking of things like that, do we have a thread for "foods that induce vomiting?"
That makes sense, but its been 50 years Max, go cook something!


& no that would be called Acid Reflux.


iPhone

More like twenty years, I'm not quite that old for it to be a half century. 

I'm not talking about acid reflux, I'm talking about foods that actually induce enough nausea that they could make one vomit.  I haven't quite gotten there myself, but there are been a couple food items over the years that got me gagging enough that I was close.
Lmao I was joking. I know what you mean, we dont have a thread like that & you definitely could make one.

& holy quack, 50 years is half a century that is crazy. Il glad you’re still young. Young forever!!!


iPhone

That seems more like a Bandit type thread to make and it would probably involve gum somehow.  While I haven't been around for that half century it has been just slightly over 3/8ths of one.  The real thing that ought to spook someone my age is that I'm through half of my life expectancy of an adult male.  Perhaps we could open the floor to discussion about proposals for biological immortality?  I would imagine regenerating telomeres in humans could be quite useful since our growth rate stops.  Cloning technology could be useful if there was some sort of memory download, the real trick is how artificially age your replacement body so one doesn't have to relive childhood.
Interesting enough. I believe in this generation we will see life expectancy pushed to 100+. Thats just with new advances in medicine. Now think about bionic implants, we are looking at 150+ years.

But between this movie  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)  (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film))

& this game  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex:_Mankind_Divided   (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex:_Mankind_Divided)


They have a couple kinks to work out with Bionic implants & Uploading people into PCs.

I do believe that is the future tho, but we will have to work out the kinks.


iPhone

Here is the thing that concerns me most about aging; losing the physical abilities I've worked so hard to obtain through my life.  In my case when I was a kid I had severe asthma and remembered the first 10 years of my life being a malaise of what I couldn't do physically.  When I was in my teens luckily I was able to overcome the problem and be able to participate in sports in addition to outdoor activities.  In my adult life I've become a proficient distance runner, distance hiker and climber.  To this point I haven't seen a decline nor really is even a plateau to what I've been to do, but what I have seen within my own family is incredibly concerning.  Put it this way, I couldn't fathom another segment of my life where I spent the majority of my free time lounging around be unable do things that are physically difficult. 

While things like bionic implants may be in the future, there is no way there they are going to fully stop the progression of aging.  And for someone who has trained their entire life, would you suddenly want the aid of some sort of device to help you do what you no longer can?  About a decade ago I was hit by a car which yielded a compound fracture in my left forearm.  In that particular case I was looking at seriously permanent disability if the arm wouldn't stay set...which it didn't.  Thankfully a plate could be installed and I was able to recover after some long rehab to get the strength in the arm back.  I'm cool with having plate giving me the opportunity to earn my way back from an injury, I don't know how I would feel if I suddenly could just replace the arm entirely a superior cybernetic/bionic replacement. 

One thing I do know, given how little my grand parents could do at the end of their lives I'm not really sure even living in my 80s would be worth it.  All they really ever did past 75 was sit around as body and mind crumbled through the progression of aging finally catching up.
I agree, but with bionics that should eliminate the problem with aging parts.


What do we notice that fails with aging?

-Are our limbs slowing down or the nerves? I believe it’s limbs & not nerves since Ive seen people that are 70 move better then someone who was 50.

-Eyes arent as clear.

-Hair loss.

-Muscle loss.

-Heart


I think our nervous system & wiring have longer life in them lets say 60-80 more years.

Its just the major organs or body parts that seem to fail quicker then we do.

Then the question must be why would our organs fail quicker then our wiring? The food we eat? Pollution? Can medicine reverse the faster damage of important body parts before bionics?

Edit: Also I too have a metal implant, in my wrist from a fracture I acquired from trying to stop my car from rolling & hitting another car. I stopped it, but with my wrist & in between the front of my car (98 Acura Tl) & the side of a (2015 charger). & without that metal implant, Id probably have a hook. Imagine a simple piece of metal saves people, now put some technology into it.

iPhone

No matter what bionic implants won't stop cell death.  So essentially you could have a gradually be replaced by more or parts as vital organs fail and/or die.  While that might have some practical applications for someone who has a disorder, was in an accident or was even replacing an organ that had cancer the prospect of prolonging life for the sake of prolonging it seems morbid to me.  Essentially if things were to reach the level you see in Science Fiction someone literally would become more machine over time as more of their body dies.
So does the brain last longer then the whole body? Or is it about the same. Im not 80 yet so I cant tell you if the brain moves slower. But I think if certain parts of the body are optimized then the whole body would run better.

I dont think youd turn into a machine. More so you just have machine features . But imagine living longer more people would respect life because they know they can be here for a while. Ive heard people say “f it im only here for so long” . Would a person say that if they lived to 150? I dont think so. I think alot of people would change their tune.
