so i have successfully been online a lot less the last ~week and the most noticeable consequence of same is that i have no idea what's happening anywhere anymore.

If you want to really feel the housing crisis, browse the Census microdata for LA households with lots of people in them. About 16,000 houses in LA County have three bedrooms and 8+ people.

I love the Comuta-Car because when Commuter Vehicles bought Sebring-Vanguard, the only major change they made to the design of Sebring-Vanguard's CitiCar was to add truly massive bumpers to meet new U.S. safety regs. The bumpers take up something like 20% of the total body length.

That said, the immigration and customs line in ORD was horrific, and I had a relatively easy time. Visitors will be waiting for hours. What a welcome..

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. You just have to know where to look.
