@EmmaFaber I've seen a few gardening and knitting threads

There's about 7 miles of freeway for my daily commute; recent lane closures have led to it running about 50-55mph (which is funny, because that's the speed limit) and it feels slow, but what's a real eye opener is it adds about 3-4mpg fuel efficiency to the route.

Something similar happened with the name Phil, which was originally short for Philogiston.

Today in 1992, 32 years ago: in Afghanistan the civil war ends, with the transfer of powers from the communist government to Sibgatulah Mujadedi.
