TIL The Katy Freeway in Houston, TX was expanded in 2008 to 26 lanes (one of the widest in the world) and 5 years later had longer peak travel times than before the expansion

  • They don't consider it because they want to be re-elected in the next few years. Fixing a problem that's more than "the next election" away holds no interest for them, or most of their constituents.

  • In Texas, and most of the places I know of, people won't ride the bus, or the bike. When it's August and the high temp for the day is 108, with 65% relative humidity, everybody wants to get in their car with the AC blowing directly on them, and be comfortable.

    In my experience, every public bus I've been on has been miserable.

  • They got rid of everything before the Alamo. They towed it out of the environment.

    • I found this on Amazon, surely its meant to be a joke?

    Jump

  • Don't apologize. While you may not win a Pulitzer for that joke, it's a solid effort and you should be commended for it. Bravo!

    • Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?

    Jump

  • Their annoyance with Reddit users. "Quit trying to Reddit my Lemmy!"

    • Trump says he'll "proudly be arrested" tomorrow in Georgia

    Jump

  • I'm not ashamed that I was born in a backwards, bible-thumping, right-wing hellhole. But, I am ashamed of how backwards and idiotic my home state is.

    Jump

  • I just had a thought. . . Put trump in jail as bait. . .. let his followers come to "rescue" him. . . . Let them experience the American military power that they love so much. . . I don't think their AR-15s are going to be much help vs tanks and helicopters and satellites, etc

    • Is this a left or right in swing exterior door?

    Jump

  • It's right-hand. If you stand with your back to the hinges (with the door open), whichever arm mimics the swing of the door is the "Handedness" of the door.

    • What is an iconic catchphrase from your grandparents?

    Jump

  • It is what it is.

    • Priorities!

    Jump

  • I agree. As an immigrant from reddit, I have noticed a lot of server instability. It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the future of Lemmy.

    • Ron DeSantis met with swathes of empty seats at Iowa event, photo shows

    Jump

  • So he campaigns at "Spanky's Livestock Auction", and trump has press conference at "Four Seasons Landscaping"; WTF is wrong with these people? Do they not understand the concept of perception?

    • Accurate

  • That the facial

  • "made a billion" as in profited that much?

    Or,

    "Made a billion" as in that much revenue?

  • I hope you negotiated points for your salary.

    • Which kind of mouse is that?

    Jump

  • Looks the same, but it's actually the opossum!

    • What's a word you haven't heard used in years?

    Jump

  • Myrrh. I used to hear it as a kid in church. Haven't heard it in decades by now.

    • South Korean dog meat farmers push back against growing moves to outlaw their industry

    Jump

  • It also depends upon how hungry you are.

  • My friend had a pet pig with 3 legs. When I asked why the pig only had 3 legs he said "a pig that good, you don't eat all at once."

    • A new trend in tipping emerges

    Jump

  • The politicians WONT change the system, so there are really only one option: don't tip, and let the chips fall where they may. If I don't go to the restaurant at all, the server gets no tips, and if I go, but don't tip, the server gets no tips. If I go, but don't tip, at least I still get the food I want, without having to make it myself. The "tipping problem" is a problem between employees and employers, it's not my problem to solve.
