New Zealand Puls from Machine House Brewing. Smells like the windswept grasslands and golden mountains of the South Island look. I can't stop smiling, it really has a unique NZ hop aroma I didn't even know I could reminisce about

Next: Washington DC - our nation's capital! Most recent complete year is 2024, and lists 53 fatalities. The MPD notes that a year-to-date comparo shows a +50% decline in fatalities in 2025, a welcome change from the data so far from other cities of peer size to Helsinki. Source in alt-text.

First: Oklahoma City, population (estimated) 713,000 in 2024. Most recent traffic fatality data is from *2021* which, by the way, is *extremely laggardly* even by the sauntering, relaxed 'woah take it easy' pace of traffic data certification. 99 fatalities in 2021, source in alt-text.
