Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The size difference is getting to me too lol

I used to drive a 200 mile round trip weekly to visit home while I was in college.

Houston to East Texas is a fun drive.

I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.

They never said that they were walking on a straight line

Right. You need a proper isochrones map to visualize this based on walking routes.
