"How many (and which) airports have you passed", just wave as you drive by
"What is the largest city", depends on how you count it but most people would say Tokyo

I had a teacher that required that in high school, but it was far into my school career that neither I nor my parents were in any mood to be artsy, so we just bought some made out of spandex that we found at the store.

FWIW, I don't think any of my sister's teachers required that she do this.  Granted, she's six years older than me, but it was a small town, and I don't remember seeing anyone else in town with textbooks covered in brown paper, nor did any of the teachers require it when I got to high school.  I think she just did it to be different.

The Chicago suburbs have Busse Highway (https://maps.app.goo.gl/7TCP3eYmeR2QVink6?g_st=ac), though the younger members of the forum might assume that's named for something else.

This hits home for me.  Cox is one of the MSOs that my company works for.  We're located in Park City.  The serial killer BTK lived in Park City.  (In fact, he worked with our company when we opened our current building, as he was employed by the city in code enforcement.)  One of the ways he gained entrance to victims' homes was to disguise himself as a telephone repairman.  When I started working here, his reemergence was within recent memory.  It was very important for our cable guys to not look like a technology rando.

That sounds like a terrible superhero.

Here's one that sounds like a bad idea for a superhero:  Ohio Legislature Man

You know, I could have sworn that I checked everything since that thread began to see if it was already done, but must have missed it in the wall of examples in the post it was in.

That's just the current state of the US.

Interestingly, I can't find an attestation that says that truncation must be from one of the ends. Both of the dictionaries I consulted emphasize that it's a shortening by removing a portion. In Perl, the String::Truncate module takes a given string and shortens it to a given length, and you can tell it to delete from the beginning, middle, or end. Python uses truncate to shorten a file specifically and what gets truncated seems to depend on the particulars of a file pointer in such a way that I don't know that's it's a relevant example.

I always figured truncation was shortening by removing any portion, regardless of where. In mathematics it does specifically refer to shortening by removing digits to the right of a decimal point, but we're not doing mathematical truncation here.
