A crash on Route 28 in Fawn Township early Saturday morning left a 28-year-old man dead, according to state police.

Pennsylvania State Police reported that Dominic E. Montemurro was driving a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado around 4 a.m. Saturday when the vehicle was using the Exit 14 off-ramp at Tarentum and left the road.

Police said the car went off the eastern side of the ramp, slid about 300 feet through the grass-covered median and hit a tree. The driver was declared dead on the scene.

Speed was a factor in the accident, police said.

Died as he lived: in a car

Rich people just like to keep the cost of land high because it makes them feel special.

You can fit everybody in the world in texas in a home made for a family of five at 2000 square foot .

my number are all wonky because it's late, and I'm adjusting for the 8 billion people when these numbers were done for 6 billion.

I dont want to live in Texas. Can you instead redo this as a 20 mile buffer extending along every coast and lakeshore in the country and then remove any parcels with a slope too steep? This is part of your GSP final and is due by September 14th with an accompanying report in APA format submitted as a pdf.
I'm a loving poster not a (HARD-R) PDF-er


Texas is 268'597 miles
divide that by 20 miles because you're trying to weave along the coast
That 13,492 miles in a line across a coast



https://www.infoplease.com/us/geography/coastline-united-states
Atlantic Coast 2,069
and the Golf Coast 1,631
Pacific Coast 7,623
Total USA coast 12,383

Not including lakes, but even if you could fill up half you still got the rest of the world.
Also I live 34 miles in-land in los angeles, and it doesn't get weird-hot until 50 miles in.
But like in Washington Woodway to High Bridge is about 20 miles
and that would change it only needing 5'372 miles of coast.
.


But this is also including parking lots and car-roads.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population_density

Then found Union city which has a population of 66'000 square miles.

(The population density of New York, 27'000 people per square mile.)

...Are they different from the Toronto ones? I'm 6' and can ride them comfortably at their highest settings. One particular variant seems a bit shorter, but it's still okay.

They are, the Toronto ones are noticeably taller, and I had no issues at all riding them. The non-electric Vancouver bikeshare bikes completely wreck my knees. The e-bikes they're putting out are a bit taller, though. Cycling around the seawall on them is really fun.

Does anyone else poo poo before or after you bike? Whenever I'm gearing up, between anxiety and whatever else, my body is like "clear the reserves!"

It usually feels good but can be annoying.

You can poo poo while biking. Its a power move in a race, the poo poo will hit your rear wheel and spatter all over the guys behind you, blinding them.

better make sure we orient society around a transportation system that produces clouds of noxious fumes, directly and indirectly causes the death of the biosphere, kills and maims thousands of people every year, chokes the environment with plastics, hollows out cities, requires tens of thousands of dollars of personal investment, beholdens its users to despotic oil regimes, greatly contributes to social isolation, doesn’t actually scale to any meaningful degree even with trillions of dollars of investment, so that no one should ever have to go through such an awful thing like that again
