"CW2" did not have the same ring to it as "WB2" (After Tribune got pissed off they started calling themselves just "2", then "KWGN The Deuce", now they're "KWGN Channel 2").

I always find it kinda funny when road signs break from their normally very strict, "professional" wording

Also I'm not tired, either.

It's kind of funny that the first one is addressing the trucks and not their drivers.

Yeah, I thought that was kinda weird.

Also apparently these are on I-70 somewhere in Colorado, not that it matters.

I linked to one like it a long time ago, and you probably saw it on AARoads.

Also now I want to link to pictures of Dead Man's Curve in Cleveland, but I think I've done that before. Have I done that before?

Well then, here they are anyway. It's a 90-degree curve in the middle of Interstate 90:

[1] [2] [3]

Very dangerous.

That, or going straight off the road.

What's especially crazy is that this the "improved" version. When the highway opened in the '50s, the curve had the same 50-mph speed limit as the rest of the road, and had barely any banking at all.

For some reason it's hard to find pictures that adequately show the sharp angle of the curve.

It looks like AARoads has a few more of the signs, though

also why don't they lower the speed limit
Probably because a drop to anything lower than 35 mph from 50 mph is inviting more trouble. You don't want a bunch of people slamming on their brakes in the middle of the freeway.

what causes us to become obsessed with corporations

Probably the same thing that causes us to be obsessed with any of the other things we're obsessed with. Which is to say, who knows.

Though I can kinda see why corporations in particular would be a "good" thing to obsess over, but I can't quite put it in words. (I hate when that happens)

Now you have me wondering what else is a "good" thing to obsess over

Somehow you strike me as the more "musically-inclined" one of us, even if you don't listen to much "mainstream" music.

I used to actually want those packages, partly out of a desire to do resynchs (I figured I would be good at those) and partly to make my motion graphics reels seem more professional

...and it turns out that's a work

It's always fun to come across an accidental bluelink.

I think my first was yes.

Is it weird that the opening line of the one I linked immediately made me think of Idler?

I'd say "this forum is eating my brain", but that happened a long time ago

Actually, I thought of him, too. Weird.

And Good Night for real this time
