They'll be useful for gamers, at least. With the increasing trend of companies caring less about properly optimizing the size of game installs and expecting gamers to have SSDs for texture loading on the fly, these drives will definitely see use. I currently have a 4TB HDD that has over 2.3TB of Steam games installed on it right now (roughly 100 games from tiny indie games to big AAA releases that are 40-80 gigs in size), and several newer games have an SSD listed as one of their minimum requirements.

Those windows with the curtain drawn the exact same way and the on ramp looking like something out of Cities: Skylines look like AI, but everything else looks too logical to me. They even have the sign accurately laying out the nonsense traffic pattern of the road looping around and underneath the highway.

It's very well done and I hate that it takes this much effort to check whether or not a photo may or may not be fake.

Parts of Massachusetts are like that as well. As far as I know, flood insurance basically no longer exists on Cape Cod.

I posted this in the other thread, but it's relevant here, too

Aircraft engineers and mechanics used to be considered unskilled labor until the 1950s. They were only "reclassified" during the Cold War because there weren't enough people going into the profession to keep up with the demand.

I was going to make a joke about building a utility grid and making Texas pay for it, but I realized that telling those kinds of people that they'll have heat and electricity in the winter and that their bill is going down thanks to big government and socialism is fitting punishment.

Way to put words in my mouth. I wasn't defending anything.

I was pointing out that the reason people started arguing with you is because you said that they're posted on the edge of municipalities, and they said that they've never seen them visibly posted anywhere that wasn't a highway and asked for specific places where you've seen this hapoen. You then switched to arguing that they didn't believe that minimum speed limits exist at all.

You're straw-manning.

But, since you accused me of making the same argument, for your information, I used to drive for a living. Everywhere obviously has minimum speed limits, but where I live, they're only posted on specific roads where they differ from the norm. Most people could probably go their entire lives around here without ever seeing one that wasn't posted on a highway alongside the signs saying that it's illegal to ride a horse down the highway. We don't have signs that say, "Welcome to the town of Smithston, minimum speed limit is 15mph." The minimum speed limit is statewide, except in cases where a town deems it necessary, which is usually specific roads, not an entire municipality.

Yeah, the weird part for me is that some of these are like "celebrity fits," so it's like teenagers to mid-20s adults wearing what the fashion industry thinks 90s - 2000s high school kids wore, as high fashion. Like if people started doing photo shoots and runway walks in skateboard kid outfits. It feels as incongruent as when companies sell ripped t-shirts for $2,000.

Came in here to say something similar. I hear that you basically can't get flood insurance in my hometown anymore thanks to the risk now due to climate change.

Reread your original post. You stated that the minimum speed is posted at the entrance to every municipality. These people are saying that they've only ever seen minimum speed signs posted on highways. Maybe that's what you meant, but your post sounds like it's posted on local roads all over the place.
