This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have a 100 mile round trip commute that I've been doing for over a decade and think I have enough real world experience to say that it's really just dumb luck as to whether weaving will get you ahead or not based on the layout of traffic at any given moment.
I used to do it more often but wound up getting boxed in enough times to lose all my progress and these days I don't really care if it takes me an extra 5 or 10 minutes of travel time. I pretty much now reserve it for situations where some douchebag wants to act like the hall monitor of the road and obstruct the passing lane by refusing to pass cars in the center lane "because I'm already going five over!"
