Not quite the same but, near me there is an on-ramp for a highway that they added a turn lane onto. They used an existing straight lane and added lines and arrows to denote the change. No one heeded these new lane rules so they added a row of standing, plastic, reflective Ballard like lane dividers to separate the turn lanes from the others. They were quickly driven over by all the traffic and no longer exist.

We used to live near an intersection that, at night, the red turn arrow would just never change. There would be 0 other traffic, cycle after cycle, so... yeah. In some rare cases I'd rather safely go on red rather than wait hours for morning traffic to arrive.

Phew! I hoped that had come off as snarky and fun. Hard to tell with text.

I'm fairly crafty but I may need some tips from that uncle of yours.

Not where I live. All those charges for the use of their electricity here. I definitely do not have space to set up my own personal nuclear reactor on my patio. Not even sure I could scavenge enough free materials to build it, even if I found free designs/blueprints.

Our girl missed a jump from the toilet seat to the sink today. There is about a 5" gap between the two. Gravity must be heavy today!

You made me curious since we have one that is trying to devour our other plants from its bucket on our patio. Looks like I don't have to replant!

They got their base last year to deride everyone who mentioned US democracy with "We'Re a rEpUbLiC!" I imagined it was for making the lack of any democracy the new normal.

Curious, I think what you call lorries are what we call a semi (semi-truck). Ours mostly use diesel fuel. Do yours take petrol instead?

... or did I just think way to hard into a joke

Someone above replied to a comment with a clip from the Daily Show. Noem's husband made the news.

Would fit but it's actually Wimp Lo.

Ooo, I have a few left from the grocery hike, time to go dig 'em out.

That's not paraphrasing, thats an entirely different question.
