The total length and duration of traffic jams in the Netherlands increased this year, despite the opening of several new roads in Zuid Holland, figures from the ANWB show. The ANWB said traffic congestion – the length of jams multiplied by their duration – rose by 3% compared with last year.

It never ceases to amaze me how every 10 years or so, cities try to expand the roads and all it does is expand the traffic. If only there was a way to archive all the civil engineering data and studies in one place for the last 40 years that can be easily searched and referenced by anyone. /s

It’s weird getting old. I’m about to witness the return of JNCO jeans. I’ve seen so many cycles and I KNOW I’m not the smartest person in the room. How long does the American government think they can keep voting against public interests?

As long as the American people keep putting these same damn people in government.

It’s funny that we HAVE to change our president every 4-8 years when they can cause so much chaos but all their “checks and balances” like the Supreme Court and senators/congress can just stay as long as they want. Obviously Senate and Congress have to be re-elected but SCOTUS and most other federal judges? It’s like playing rugby or American football with the kid that failed senior year 20 times.

the return of JNCO jeans

I saw a kid the other day wearing what looked like jncos. He even had the wallet chain. Kid must have been like 9.

Fashion really is cyclical and now I know how my parents felt when we all went through that bell bottom phase in the 90s.

Why did we think having soggy ankles all day was cool? 😆
