Only in its strong form, eg "I didn't mean to."
The weak form is pronounced "tuh" eg "I went to bed."

Would you consider adding a "throw me a buck" tier for those too tight to pay for ad-free but still want to support your work a little? One download and listen to the ads can't earn you more than a few cents right?

Elon Musk is like one of the grotesque caricatures running a society that Contact is fucking with.
Our hero: "Looks like these guys are ramping up space exploration, they can't be all that bad."
Sarcastic drone: "Let me show you who's in charge of that..."

17m is about the minimum for a road with segregated lanes, otherwise you end up with painted death lanes on the road and nowhere for deliveries, bus stops, parking (I know I know) etc.
