Those don't fix it in my experience. There's one about a quarter mile from where I'm sitting right now and I avoid it when walking because of how dangerous it is. Yes, they will see you crossing... as they almost hit you. The

It's not exactly turning CO2 into bricks, but there's a few applications of biochar as an additive to improve concrete, asphalt, particleboard, etc.

Unfortunately, I rarely see people who hate IRV/RCV because they want it replaced with approval voting. Usually it's that their candidate/party of choice would fare worse under it.

I tested it on your site and I'm curious, is there a reason why the link-maze links are all gibberish (as in "oNvUcPo8dqUyHbr")? I would have had links be randomly inserted in the generated text going to "[random-text].h
