There was talk of Danbury extending to north to New Milford and also West to “Southeast” (if that isn’t confusing enough and connecting to Harlem line.
It takes 90 minutes to get to Manhattan from Danbury by car.
Train is like 2:15.
What else would people choose?

That’s not how stereotypes work. Just because you experienced something doesn’t mean it’s always like that or is the norm.
“I saw a black person commit a crime” turns into “black people are criminals” using your logic. You are stereotyping, and stereotypes should be called out. If you want to share experiences, then share them. But don’t label massive amounts of people while doing it.

Compared to CA - Places aren’t connected by freeways / 4 lane or 6 lane state roads. Sure, to get across the state or between cities, you use the highway system. But largely, travel tends to be on 2 lane town/city roads that, as my cousin from NC once told me, feel like “tree tunnels”.

This is a stereotype. Sure, there are nuts. But there are nuts everywhere. Youth sports problems are not a CT thing, they are an everywhere thing.

Reply to Why does CT only have oval tracks or kart tracks, I feel like it would be good to have a grand prix style track for racing by toasty_boi12345678
Besides Lime Rock, nobody is mentioning Thompson. More known for its oval, but there is a version of it that runs a street track and includes the banked end of the bowl as well.
Also, check out Palmer in Mass.

Rosy Tomorrow’s in Danbury have Buffalo chicken calamari. It comes topped with tomato, celery, hot sauce, and blue cheese crumble.

Reply to Does anyone know why our license plates went from awesome to terrible in the 2000s? by Objective-Class-4552
I think one reason for the change is the fact the new plates don’t press out the words, they are just printed. They’re probably easier to mass produce as a result.

Yeah, I think this is reasonable. There are also some major differences in terms of intersection furniture that you need to learn about.

Investigators can and will look at cell records to determine if it may have played a role. Even things that supposedly “delete” keep a backup record that can be unlocked by dumping the entire phones memory onto a hard drive.

Defensive driving. Assume everyone is an idiot. Once they are doing rational things, dance the dance with them.
I travel +5 to +10 over, I don’t think defensive driving slows me down or puts others in danger.
For instance, I’m not the guy sitting there waiting at a stop sign for the car approaching to make sure they stop. I’ll roll it. But, if I see you doing something funny… go right ahead. You can go have your accident somewhere else.

Everyone slows down and you kind of take turns. Delivery trucks on a 2 lane road creates one way traffic around them. Be prepared to stop, but if your line is going, then go. Cars should not be expected to blindly follow a UPS truck and stop every 10 feet. You go around when you see a gap, and those approaching should slow and be aware that some cars might be taking their opportunity to overtake the delivery truck.
Like, work together. Stop classifying drivers as asshats for no reason! Do you expect a line of 20 cars to stay behind a mail truck forever?!?
