Welcome to Houston!
Home of the widest freeway in the world.
>>60980355
Here's another point during low traffic hour
>>60980355
>>60980389
Houstonian here.
.....and yet there is still traffic jams at every entrance. Oh I-10
>>60980389
You ever wonder what people will think of this stuff when they see it thousands of years from now and it's all in ruins?
We put Greek and Roman architecture everywhere.
>>60980452
I remember a day last summer I was driving East down I-10 towards downtown. I was on my way to class and as soon as I hit Beltway 8, as many cars as the eye could see were at a dead stop. Turns out an 18 wheeler had flipped near DOWNTOWN and closed off all lanes except the shoulder.
It took me 2 hours to get from I-10/BW8 to Downtown. I couldn't even get off because there were just so many cars. I saw people with their windows rolled down talking to each other because it was literally 10 feet every minute for a huge stretch of the freeway. And in the 95°F 95% humidity Houston weather, it was hell on Earth.
Fun times. At least it was a very memorable day.
>>60980580
Seems like every week on the news there is an overturned something on I-10. That story sounds like hell, might as well be one....you're pretty much sitting on a frying pan come mid August.

pretty sure our recordkeeping is such that people hundreds or thousands of years in the future won't have to be doing much guesswork
>>60979926
from where?
>>60981531
That's probably not true. The technology we record media onto becomes obsolete instantly nowadays. The only thing that stays the same (usually) is file formats and it would be pretty easy for popular formats to fall into legacy without backwards compatibility to save them. Once that happens, people will just let old files sit until they are decades old.
It's sort of like that book in your attic that is going to be thrown away by your family when they're looking for stuff to sell to pay for your funeral.
>>60973280
Germany literally invented freeways
I live in Pittsburgh, the highways that go through the city are all 4 lane, 2 lanes in each direction. Luckily, the terrain prevents us from having those monstrosities that they have our west.
>>60981677
>>60981531
if wikipedia doesn't get deleted then the future will know, i mean we know shit about the past because of like 1% of the records they kept that happened to survive, i'm sure with the sheer amounts of media we create the 1% that survives will inform our descendants what the world is like now

>>60980389
I honestly thought this was the one over I-35 in Waco.
>>60981691
No they didn't.
The first was on Long Island NY in 1908.
Germany didn't start building them until the 1920s.

Wikipedia is run from a single data center, mostly on donations.
Here's the thing: eventually, something better will come along. Once people replace Wikipedia with something, then there is no longer any reason for all that data to exist. The prospects of Wikipedia actually being preserved are pretty slim.
>>60981793
>>60981952
No, it won't. You can literally download the whole wikipedia database: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
If it goes down, there'll be dozens of wikipedias with the same database on the same day it goes down.

The knowledge on our obsolete equipment is transferred to more modern equipment, how do you think we kept records from the 80s and shit? You think everything on the computers then just disappeared forever?
With our technology it's possible to keep a continuous stream of knowledge available provided there isn't some mass extinction event or some other shit

>>60982065
>The knowledge on our obsolete equipment is transferred to more modern equipment
It is usually not.
>how do you think we kept records from the 80s and shit
Well for most archival purposes, the original equipment is still used. Most government archives still use magnetic tape unless the data gathered is new enough that more modern stuff is used for storage.
>>60982003
Again, this will eventually become obsolete and therefor useless. Yes, there is probably some librarian that will want that 200 years from now. Except that has always been the case and yet data has constantly been lost over time regardless.

There is no Speed limit here.

I do it every day.

>>60973226
I prefer less wide roads. I feel like the one in my pic is much more free than the one in yours.
>>60982392
They're building another "floor". The road will continue like pic related
>>60982782
you are correct but if that was the road into LA it would take years to get there

are there actually people living beside these?

>>60982671
I tortured my Slowyota to 165 km/h recently. Personally I don't fucking care about the open limit, I drive 130 km/h most of the time anyway, in fact the open limit makes driving a much bigger hassle because you always have to keep an eye behind you and mind speeds when you want to overtake. When everyone drives roughly the same speed it doesn't matter if you pull out in front of someone.
>>60982830
So much for freedom to drive wherever you want whenever you want.
>>60982901
I always drive full gas with my slowdi on the Autobahn. I'm simply used to it.

it's because every fuckwit has to own a car and when there are millions of them you end up with shit like the OP pic. i live in auckland and though it is not as bad it is still bullshit. I long for my home town where the roads are like what you posted.

I pay 200€ a year for insurance.
80€ taxes per year.
And roughly 600€ for fuel.
Repairs are done by myself.
This is cheaper than a train. Fucking DB became ridicilous expensive.

>Community College in Bend
why?
>>60983143
You're generalizing it. Old Mercedes from the '80s and earlier are exactly as rust prone as most cars from the era, probably even below the average considering what rustbuckets old Lancias and old British cars turn into. Then they had rust issues briefly for roughly a year around 1992 when laws forced them to switch from oil based paints to water based paints, and then they had rust issues depending on the model between the mid '90s and 2008 because of DaimlerChrysler cost cutting. Before DaimlerChrysler they built cars to a high standard and then adjusted the price, afterwards they set a price and then adjusted the quality.
>>60983137
>>not going for comfy Train rides if you want to leave your City for a while
i don't have a car since a few years and use trains instead ... and it's a fucking pain in the ass. nothing is comfy in those dirty shitholes that are always too late
>>60983258
And this means?
That I don't recommend Mercedes built between 90s and 2008.
And who the hell wants a 80s Mercedes.
Renault doesn't has Rust issues even at gigher age (above 12 years).
>>60983350
>And who the hell wants a 80s Mercedes
Who doesn't want an old Mercedes? What kinda itty bitty faggot are you that you'd automatically disregard all cars above a certain age? If anything you should disregard all cars BELOW a certain age because modern electronics make them impossible to repair at home.

>>60984052
Freeway as in "free flowing traffic", meaning that no traffic in different directions ever directly crosses each other, and all interchanges are accomplished via ramps and bridges.
