“Passerby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.”

Grids were more efficient for pedestrians and unmotorized transport, but the caveat is that motorized transport, especially on large grids, will often be driving faster than is desired among the pedestrian traffic.

Which is why the ethos has changed off of grids to the windy, curvy roads that naturally encourage slower speeds…no straightaways to really build up speeds like you can with a grid.

Most town centers, which have likely existed before the car did in large numbers, are still laid out in a grid…but youll notice as you get farther out, when the neighborhoods started getting built in the post wwii era and the rise of the burbs, are not generally grids.

This is an easier way to eyeball how old a particular neighborhood is…with some caveats and exceptions of course.

A grid is still most efficient, but were trading efficiency for safety which is reasonable…weren’t too many idiots doing 60mph on 35mph city streets like we have today.

Yeah here in WI too. Like on 55mph state highways in the literal middle of nowhere, as in the intersection is corn fields on every quadrant.

Its weird, but of course I stop. Im only ever stopping for the corn, but I aint trying to have some cop come flying out of the corn and tear my ass up either lol

Yeah my wife does the same thing and it similarly drives me batshit lol.

Its even funnier when she’s standing there naked waiting for it to fill complaining about freezing while there is 20 gallons of hot steaming water sitting right there in front of her that, for some reason, she feels she can not sit in until its up around her neck lmao

Dude, this is a static picture lol.

You know how this happens naturally? People fill the tub to just below the the overflow, shut the water off, get in the tub, and then immediately displace the water up over the overflow. Then it drains…slowly…until it’s below the line.

If this was an image we could hear, I’d bet you any amount of money there was a gurgling sound in the background as the water slowly made it’s way down the drain.

The trick is to get in the tub before it’s done filling, then you don’t waste 10+ gallons of hot water down the overflow.

I read somewhere that the reason cats are so fickle is that they’ve been much more recently domesticated compared to dogs

my kitty crossed over 10 years ago now, but I served her faithfully for nearly 20 years. her behavior was atrocious and she whined for food like you wouldn’t believe but I still miss her and her five pointy ends a ton lol
