    I'm not saying you shouldn't expand the road. I'm saying don't pretend it actually solves anything. Eventually, you'll be right back where you started -- especially when a large amount of people on the road increasingly find useless ego-driven destinations that do little more than take up space.

    Car analogies are fun!

    If Apple's T2 chip still disallows Linux from using the onboard SSD, that is a deal breaker.

    Wow, really intelligent conversation and thought process. I am sure you sway lots of people with such foul commentary.

    "Potatoe" was a valid spelling alternative for "potato" a long time before Dan Quayle was born.
