No, or at least not in the state I'm from. They have penalties in the statutes for 1-5 miles per hour over. Usually the cop or traffic court judge will use discretion to ignore tickets and penalties in such minor cases, but when you don't codify that it can lead to more nefarious reasons for enforcing it.

I think it's closer to the coal butter synthesis but maybe they found a more efficient method using other carbon sources

Just make everything public and transparent because nobody seems to know how to actually protect data.

It's like jaywalking on an empty street or speeding 5 miles over the limit, they don't enforce it unless they want to use the law to harass someone.

Dwarf fortress, I love to see how and what people build and the emergent chaotic stories when a giant or vampire or whatever shows up.

One of the criteria for judging and comparing countries should be how well they care for people who cannot care for themselves; children, orphans, sick, elderly, prisoners, etc.

Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
