Sorry, big derailment of subject here:

The author described 40cm of rain, which was unusual to me, since we normally describe the rain in millimetres.

Then they translated it to American as 16 inches or 70 gallons per square yard.

The neat thing about 400 mm is, that it’s also 400 litres per square metre.

And it’s also crazy much, my heart goes out to Valencia.

Articles about deextinction often reference the Pyrenean Ibex that died 7 minutes after birth. Why has nobody tried that one again?

Yeah, like a digital “ideal line” that the cars can follow.

Maybe even a physical guiding line.

We could even connect all the cars via WLAN (WiFi) to exchange info when they are braking and accelerating. That would increase efficiency.

Maybe we could even connect them physically to have a stronger engine pulling more cars more efficiently.

If we already have an ideal guiding line, we might actually save some asphalt and make the roads more optimised. Use different materials so the tyre particles don’t pollute as much.

Ah, let’s just build a train.

Brussels effect baby

(Or is it Bruxelles? Brüssel?)
