Then there’s those spots where the speed limit is 25mph, but they throw a few “safety humps” in there, and you have to slow down below 10mph or you’ll throw out at axle. First time visitors always hit too hard, because they’re traveling at the speed limit, and the humps look gentle. Wonder what the city will do when someone loses control and hits a pedestrian while doing nothing wrong.

Every now and then, the worm gets tired, and must take a nap.

Kinda upset that no one makes a big deal about connecting the rail strikes with the East Palestine incident. Like, the president interferes with a union negotiation, revokes their right to strike in order to “save Christmas,” then a major incident occurs three months later because the boss ordered the workers to ignore safety issues while transferring hazardous chemicals. To me, this seems like low hanging fruit to rile up voters and start pushing for change, but it all just… faded away.

I wonder if an adnauseam approach could help. Instead of the customer relying on the carrier or manually blocking spam numbers, if everyone picked up every spam call, goes through the automated system to reach a person, says “hello?”, then mutes the mic and lets the human stick around until they hang up.

Sure, they have robocallers that can hit 50,000 numbers a minute, but what happens when every single number answers and gets routed to the humans?
