“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Another fun fact. Travel insurance may not cover trips canceled during the shutdown because it was foreseeable, even if you booked your ticket months ago. To the insurance industry, that fact that shutdowns happened 10 years ago means you should expect it could happen again.

I guess they never travel outside their time zone either? We get more daylight during summer evenings and an earlier sunrise in the winter, when it’s needed, all for the equivalent of a single one hour flight East/West.

If this doesn’t end up being paid for by the US government does that mean this isn’t a presidential act and immunity doesn’t apply?

And yet because LEDs in new cars don’t have as wide a field of projection, when I’m going downhill it’s impossible to see beyond a dozen yards. ☹️

While Lowe’s corporate initially didn’t want to cooperate and told local employees were told not to talk about it, they did. The community rallied and started a multi-state effort to find and return Francine home. Even the SPCA and Best Friends got involved.
