You are correct that 76 is labeled East/West but I always think of it as N/S because I grew up off the North East Extension and Philly is just always considered “South”.

I’m terms of “silly”. Is it silly for literally hundreds of people sit idly on a stretch of blacktop while their engines idle needlessly, or is better to drive a little further half the time and likely get home quicker?

I had an idea a couple of days ago. I live in the western burbs, so these aren’t the roads I travel everyday, so I curious your thought. First, I preface that I-76 south of 476 is worst stretch of highway in the state. It’s stuck between a river and a rock wall with no where to expand. Here’s my thought. Make 76 south of 476 one way. Use all of the lanes to go into the city only. Okay, so how to get them back? Make the Blue Route one way, as well, just the opposite direction. Expand the section of 95 between the two to compensate for the increased travel. On ramps and exit ramps would all need to be rethought, but how does this broad stroke of an idea sound?

I see a lot of art on Reddit and it’s all very “predictably” good, if that makes sense. But, I have to say as a former artist, your depiction here is perfect. It’s an effortless reflection of a memory. She exists in the wind. Gorgeous.

Reply to Luxurious space hotels are a classic Sci-Fi trope. But American hospitality giant Hilton recently signed a deal with Lockheed Martin and Voyager Space to build the solar system’s first space hotel onboard Starlab — a space station with NASA funding — which is currently under development. by EricFromOuterSpace

Well, you know Avenue 5 is flip when not a single person in the comments brings up the possibility of a perpetual shit ring orbiting the space hotel.

Or, we could just go back to the way that worked for thousands of years before big chem tricked farmers into killing their soil with their chemicals AND selling them fertilizer to artificially replenish the soil. Rodale Institute, Soil Regeneration

I also suggest watching the documentary Biggest Little Farm (trailer)

Rodale teamed up a couple of years ago with Mark Hyman, author of Food Fix

Reply to comment by Claytorpedo in Researchers designed a transparent window coating that could lower the temperature inside buildings, without expending a single watt of energy. This cooler may lead to an annual energy saving of up to 86.3 MJ/m² or 24 kWh/m² in hot climates by mossadnik

In the northeast US we often intentionally plant deciduous trees on the south side of our properties to block the sun with leaves in the summer and to allow the sun to enter in once winter comes and the leaves have fallen
