Most of the ocean you won't be detected in. There's just nobody looking for anyone out there. So stay away from eezs and littoral zones and you ll be alone in no time.

was stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of 10th and Pine. 10th has more traffic than Pine so Pine has stop signs but 10th doesn't.
anyway, i was stopped with two feet in the ground. looked right down tenth, saw a car coming. looked left and saw it was clear from that direction and thought when the car passes, I'll cross.
When i looked back right, i saw the grill of the car with about five feet before impact.
the car turned onto the wrong side of the road where i saw standing

I don't quite understand how it works. Union Station will connect to Oglevie? How does that help? They're already not very far from one another. If I needed to get to Oglevie from Union station, I can walk on the street... but now there will be a tunnel linking the two? Wouldn't the tunnel be the same distance? Also, how does that get me to St Louis in 2 hours? I feel like I'm missing something important.

We should not be redefining The Drive, we should be reimagining our lakefront. We can NOT rebuild a highway on our lake, especially not in the face of a global climate crisis and traffic violence epidemic across our nation. At the same time, the Chicago Park District is working on a new plan to revitalize Grant Park, our front yard. We want to make sure that in the 2023 Grant Park Framework Plan measures are taken to calm and limit traffic through the park while increasing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Our lakefront is one of Chicago's, and our region's, most cherished treasures and assets. We should respect it and respect all Chicagoans by investing in an active transportation corridor that provides safe access to our lake and our city. We need new metrics for these projects so we can minimize Vehicle Miles Traveled, minimize vehicle emissions, and maximize accessibility and green space. We can do this by improving cyclist and pedestrian safety with raised bike paths and raised crosswalks, and increase access to the lakefront and parks. Maximizing access to the lakefront will require infrastructure, facilities, and programming that integrate Universal Design principles. Adding more lanes to this highway or any highway won't fix congestion, it hasn't worked for decades. We need active transportation options like protected BRT or light rail which can move more people than any highway ever could. Call on Rep. Ann Williams to: - Restart this flawed decade-long process - Eliminate the false sense of need for a highway on our lakefront. - Consider our climate, people, and environment when thinking about what our lakefront should look like. The current process does none of those things in a meaningful way. - Continue re-imagining by bringing more green spaces and better transit to the entire lakefront, for ALL Chicagoans.

I have to say, it's a compelling take. Didn't realize this was the first time the US went to war without congressional approval. It's kind of poetic how the US was "fighting for democracy," and also devaluing its own without by acting unilaterally.
