Roman

My name is Roman. I'm 20 years old and I live in both Brooklyn, NY and Long Island, depending on the time of year. I get around.

Some guy just offered to pay just for the cost of shipping if I sent him the item I was selling since “a new one would not cost more than $20-30.” He was being serious too. What an intriguing offer! I wonder if he has a newsletter… I think I’d like to subscribe.

It’s a computer case, in case anyone was wondering.

Variable Speed Limits

Once GPS is built into every car manufactured, along with a constantly displayed speed limit - which is bound to happen sooner or later - we can instate variable speed limits. Since you can drive perfectly safe above 50mph on most 3-lane highways it would make sense to increase the legal speed limit during offpeak times when there’s no congestion, and decrease it when congestion is high and there’s less time/space for reacting to accidents or any reckless driving.

In addition to a decreasing the speed limit during peak times in order to decrease traffic jams and minor accidents, you can dynamically adjust the speed limit based on locally available weather conditions, so that if there’s major lack of visibility or slippery conditions the speed limit would be lowered depending on the intensity of the conditions.

At this point the limit becomes more of a recommendation.

This entire idea is a result of my 6am drive this morning which was just as congested as it would’ve been at 8am =(. I was wondering about the benefits of waking up even earlier, but was dismayed by the fact that even though there would be less cars, I would still have to be breaking the law if I want my commute to be shorter, even though the road is empty and straight.

Nevertheless ____________ channel the lady devil in you and thats more than worth it.
