This entire stretch of highway was crawling!

The cars were piled up in front of me!

And behind me!

After sitting in traffic for about an hour, watching people make illegal lane changes, I noticed something interesting… Just before the freeway on-ramp here’s what I saw:

And yes, here we go Tulsi Gabbard Tamayo was waving her signs and causing a slow down just before the freeway on-ramp.

Once I passed her sign waving, the on-ramp opened up to a free flowing open freeway.

I was 15 minutes late for work today.  I wonder how many other people were late to work today?  If there were a way to figure out how much her sign waving costed hawaii residents, i would probably guess it would be something similar to this:

[ For Shits and Giggles ]

In 2000, the US Census Bureau estimated that the county of Kailua has an estimated population of 36,513 people (which we’ll round to 36,000) and an average of 2.98(3.0) people per household.  For example purposes, lets just say that there is one driver per household.  This would bring us to 12,000 drivers in the Kailua area.  Now, lets also say that 2,000 of those drivers do not need to go to honolulu for work.  This bring us down to 10,000 drivers.  Of course not taking into account what time we all left our residences as well as many other factors:

If 10,000 drivers all went over the pali this morning and were caught in traffic and each of us ended up being 15 minutes late:

10,000 x 15 min = 150,000 minutes = 2500 hours

Now if we all made minimum wage @ 7.25 per hour

2500 x $7.25 = $18,125

So in this example, kailua residents would have lost $18,125 out of their pockets  because of the increased traffic caused by sign wavers.  I’m probably wrong, but you get the picture right?  Think about it!

Sign wavers should not be waving their signs during the morning and afternoon rush hours.  Maybe they should be fined?  Who knows…

I remember these things!  I think in elementary school they used to have troffs with running water that everyone would pee into.  Ahhhh the good old days. 

Fun Ride Tho!

It doesn’t get any more American than this.

Does this bring back memories for any of you?  Know where this is?

So I’ve decided to start posting from my android phone instead of hitting up a computer every day.  Hopefully it’ll give me more opportunities to post since I’m usually out and about most of the time.  I’ve also added this to my ping account too

So here’s what happened:

Steam automatically upgraded itself a couple of days ago.  Ok, whatever.  So I let it restart itself.  when it comes back online, the interface is missing ALL of the fonts needed to see anything in the console.  I can’t see my friends, I can’t see my games, etc.  GREAT!

So I decided to reinstall it to see what happened next, and the same thing.  WTF?  How the hell can you release an update and have this kind of problem happen?  It seems as others have had this problem too.  

Here’s a link to a TEMPORARY solution: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1158814

It seems as though the new steam forums are just crawling with errors too.=!

You know steam, you may as well call yourself McAfee since you like to release updates that just mess everything the F-up.  Now I have to go and redownload all of my games now.
