30. I-71 hasn't been fully 6-laned between Cleveland and Cincinnati
31. The original Tappan Zee Bridge is still standing
32. There isn't a direct connection between the Northway and the Thruway in Albany, even though one has been planned for half a century
33. New York's state parks haven't started accepting E-ZPass payment for entrance fees
34. There exist toll roads/bridges in the E-ZPass service area that don't accept it (Atlantic Beach Bridge, I'm looking at you)
35. Texas hasn't removed all speed limits from certain stretches of highway

24. The Miami Marlins haven't been moved to the AL, as promised in Back to the Future II!

MLB also hasn't shortened the season in order to complete the World Series by October 21.

Because most of the 2014 thread is still relevant

36. That powdered coffee creamer still tastes like disintegrated drywall.

39: There is still a US 19W in North Carolina. [note for people who have never been there: This started out in 1927 as US 19w/23, but 23 was realigned in 1952, and has been a redundant corridor ever since, not to mention that it's still only 16 feet wide.]

Of all the E-W splits, this one makes the least sense. Between Johnson City and Mars Hill, through traffic is going to follow US 23 (now I-26) and not 19W. It should either be put completely on the 23/26 alignment, or decertified as a US route and let 19E become plain 19. And even then, through traffic coming from Bristol is probably going to go to Johnson City and then take 23/26 instead of staying on 19(E) to the Mars Hill area.

By "complete" do you mean 7 games or 4?  In the movie, the Cubs sweep Miami – that means only four games out of a scheduled seven, right?  (On the other hand, if Game 4 is scheduled for 21 Oct or later, this whole post is moot; I haven't bothered to look it up.)

It's 2015 and I still can't believe that.....

There are still constant wars and fighting going on in the world. You would think at some point people would come to their senses and realize that it is stupid and not worth it.

At least here in the US, we have made it a huge point to learn from the mistakes of the past, particularly Hitler's. We make it a point to teach to our people why it is important be  humane and civilized.

I can't figure out why the rest of the world can't do the same.

Have you not seen the arguments that persist on any and every subject?  (Insert any political figure here) is one example, but it doesn't matter what the subject is: You have intense opinions on either side.  And then whatever side loses sues.

[english si]

^^ and has the US learnt the mistakes of Hitler?

Sure, there's (far older than Hitler) safeguards in place to stop totalitarian government and the US is better inoculated against anti-Semitism and one-Europe* philosophies, and 'third way'** Corporatist economic policy than European countries (including the UK, Ireland, etc that have Common Law and Magna Carta heritage).

However, the US is very susceptible to defining people by their ethnicity (more so than Europe, though we are constantly told to tick checkboxes sorting us by ethnicity to see whether there's any discrimination. I think I checked on at High School with 'other' and put 'human' or something and got told off and asked to change it. Certainly I've been told off about objecting to the question). And Eugenics is certainly a thing going on throughout the West, while not systematic by the state, merely allowed by them (though IIRC, a recent Government in Denmark vowed to eradicate Downs syndrome - by having the 10% of foetuses that have it and aren't aborted aborted) - we just don't talk about it these days due to the stigma that the Nazis put on it.

*One land, one people, one ruler. This is pretty much the EU-elite's greatest dream, but don't interrupt them saying it by repeating the slogan in German, or they will get all offended and make up a rule allowing them to vote to disenfranchise your constituents.
**Tony Blair used this term without irony, and next to no one picked up that it is straight out Fascism. I guess, because the Right were discredited after 18 years in power and just too tired to fight a lost battle, and the Left either didn't notice or care. Plus as it is trendy in Europe, the Centre loved it.

40. Alanland is gone.

41. Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. hasn't been extended to last 396 days per year.

[kkt]

41. Daylight Savings Time

Oh no, not again.   

[SignGeek101]

41. Daylight Savings Time

Oh no, not again.   

I dont understand all the hate for DST. If it weren't for DST, the sun would be up at 4:30 am here in the summer. Its much better being able to take a walk outside at 9:30 pm when its still light, then being woken up really early in the morning. But... thats what you get for living at 50 degrees north, 16 hour days either way.

42. Huntsville still has a pair of button copy signs.

43) People still use cash at tolls.

[A.J. Bertin]

43) People still use cash at tolls.

I love paying with cash for almost everything, and

44) People complain about cash users. Cash is still very relevant and generally safer than any electronic payment!

And it's the Year of the Goat too!

45. That EzPass doesn't have a universal discount with all services. Some states extend the discount to all users, some only to one issuer in the state. NJ Turnpike discounts require a NJTA issued one, ones issued by the DRJTBC, DRBA, DRPA do not count despite them being issued in NJ and PA.

46. That the garden state parkway doesn't have automated bill changers, still has the traditional change basket.

47. that I-55 still has the substandard connection in Memphis to the bridge

48. That I-22 is not yet fully signed as I-22
