This is what we always do here in the UK. I think it's only the USA who give presidents that title for life.

Funnily enough, an older family friend whose dad was a doctor in 1900s Aberdeen said halves of Guinness - for which he personally wrote the 'scripts - were delivered every morning to all the pregnant women on his roll. We now know that Folic Acid (a B-vit, found in Stout) is vital in pregnacy...

Some adverts are irritating. Others - a few - are works of art for which I don't mind interrupting my youtube etc viewing.
Most of them are for things (cars, how to write correct USA English, harmful cleaning products...) which I never buy, advert or no.

"Induced demand": building more roads leads to more congestion.
"Traffic evaporation" is its opposite - closing a road to motor traffic can lead to less congestion overall as people in the vicinity are less likely to jump into the car for short trips.

On the right, a cartoon self-similar image - a picture of a room with a small pic of that room on a wall. On the left, the log of that image: every circular path within the image is mapped onto a straight line. Squares in the original image look like scalloped lines.

I just bailed when that happened to me. Didn't want to upset anyone - and anyway perhaps it was just *me* who couldn't get on with the tale...

I always say that capitalism "got us where we are today" - in both the good and the bad senses. To get any further, we may have to think up something new - or some variant of what there is.
