Less than a year after the container ship M/V Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused a deadly total collapse, Maryland and federal leaders have revealed the design of the new bridge that will be built to replace it. On Tuesday, Maryland Governor Wes Moore showed off renderings of the new bridge, which he said “honors the architectural tradition of the Francis Scott Key Bridge” while modernizing it with cables running from the deck to a pair of towers. It also raises the clearance for large vessels, going from the old bridge’s clearance of 185′ to a new clearance of 230′ at high tide. Moore pledged that, as the original bridge was built in 1977 using the most advanced industry standard and best materials available at that time, the new bridge will also be “constructed in accordance with the most advanced industry standards and with the best infrastructure design.” He said, “We are going to use the best materials available and are going to employ many Marylanders to get it done.” Transportation leaders are wasting no time in getting the project going. Maryland Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller, who is a former transportation engineer, said that preconstruction is already underway on both land and water, with demolition set to begin this spring. “Soon Maryland’s first cable-stayed bridge will rise,” she said. A cable-stayed bridge is one in which the weight of the deck is supported by a number of cables running directly to one or more towers. The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is a famous example in Charleston, South Carolina, and the Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed bridge. This type of bridge is typically cost-effective and allows for a faster construction time compared to other bridge types.The design is indeed very nice. Interesting to see how the era of DOGE will affect the project.

btw, the answer to my question about How Long Did It Take To Build the Pentagon that you all ignored is:
16 Months.
September 1941 -- January 1943. (FDR got us into WWII by letting the Nips bomb Pearl Harbor in December 1941, so, yeah, good thing they planned ahead and built the massive Pentagon building.)

This type of bridge is typically cost-effective and allows for a faster construction time compared to other bridge types.
__________
Just so long as it's not being built by the FIGG Group. They were hired to do the twin cable-stayed bridges over the Houston Ship Channel. The design was found to be defective and the work on the towers had to be demolished.
Downstream, the cable-stayed Fred Hartman Bridge took 10 years to build.

This type of bridge is typically cost-effective and allows for a faster construction time compared to other bridge types
I read an article in "American Scientist" written by Henry Petroski some years back in which he took pains to state that the center cable stay bridge design had yet to suffer a major, catastrophic failure. His point being that every new type of bridge eventually has that moment and that engineers would learn a whole lot about what were the weaknesses of the design of the failed structure.
So there's that.

At many of those quickie, self carwash joints.... the ones with a couple drive-through bays that you can take a pressure washer with suds or whatever to your vehicle....
Those still take quarters. Or if you don't mind being scammed with your ATM or Debit card you can use that.
As for a dollar coin... there's been several variations minted over the last couple decades. Problem is they're almost exactly the same size as a quarter. Better to size them up. Maybe like frisbee or something that can't be mistaken.

1) Significantly different size from every other coin. Bigger would be better, but smaller would be okay (dimes are smaller than nickels, after all).

This is only true in the US. In the UK they call in old money and issue new. I suspect it is so those people who keep the money buried in tins in the back yard can be forced to get accounts that can be taxed, or spend the savings instead of saving it.
Of course in places like Mexico and Brazil they have regular hyperinflations and devaluations so the money winds up worth nothing anyways.

Yeah there is likely some detail in the law requiring the DoE to do SOMETHING. Its too much, being a Carter joint, but even hacking it back to that bare minimum would be good. Problem is that its likely over the years add-ons have been passed making it do more and more.

Nobody outside the Western states wanted silver dollars either. Millions languished in mint sewn canvas bags in bank basements for years, usually kept on hand for reserve requirements. A few cranks would trade silver certificates in for the dollars. When silver spot price exceeded $1.27 in the late 1950s it became a matter of time. By 1968 the government reneged on silver cert redemption, offering bags of silver shot.
LaVere Redfield drove all over the US buying $1000 face bags of silver dollars. He would deposit them down a coal chute at his home, behind a false wall. When he died, he had over $100,000 in them, most of them pristine, and rare date coins worth a lot to collectors.

Both gold and silver certificates are obsolete, but can be swapped for FRNs. However, their collector value is typically more than their face value.
FDR illegally banned ownership of gold certificates (and gold) but that has since been rescinded.

The United States may also have ECS in other areas, and the U.S. ECS Project continues to analyze available data and undertake analysis in a range of areas.

What happened, was because of inflation, a huge downtown building was being leased for $300 a month (or whatever). Ridiculous. A sharp eyed accountant noticed the original lease was denominated in gold. He said “Pay Up MFers” and they declined. The court ruled in favor of the leaseholders.
Gold contracts are legal and enforceable and make a lot of sense. As was evident, a lot can happen in 100 years.

It has occurred to me that the primitive past, when cameras, microphones, and location tracking were not ubiquitous, in fact were barely present in the world at all, was actually a glorious, golden time compared to now. To go about your daily business, even slightly nefarious business, and leave no automatic record, was in a way, wealth beyond measure.
Don't pity the people in old faded photographs. They were quite alive, and in an era when privacy was the rule, and panopticon tracking highly unusual.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, or what you’re even referencing.
I’m saying inflation will be the way forward because we’re too deep in debt to do anything else. Deflation would crush every debtor out there.
If it were up to me, I’d cut 95% of the Federal budget tomorrow. Use the rest to round up illegals, build a wall on the southern border, and mine the northern border to stop the illicit flow of maple syrup and Canadian “bacon” from poisoning the blood of our pure heartland.

From my personal history book...
In 1974, I (Fake sang as a white boy) a Muddy Waters blues number at my High School's open jam day with Eddie Van Halen ripping it on guitar. When I asked him to come 2 weeks prior, I was never expecting him to show up as the boys then known as MAMOTH were starting to get noticed. But he showed up and made my day.

Lol. Caught me. I am drinking wine and my phrasing is...not good. The stores are less busy in my part of Central TX. There are normally lots of Hispanic folk in this area. That is not an issue for me. But suddenly, there are far fewer Spanish-speaking-only folks at the local Walmart. There was a roadside Honduran restaurant that just vanished. It is very obvious.

I can fill my tripled up bags with as little as I please, and fill them in a way that makes them easier to unload at home.
I prefer to have all my bathroom stuff together, kitchen stuff together, etc., and when I go to a cashier, no matter how I put them on the conveyor belt, the cashier rearranges them to conform to some sort of packing standard that causes me great inconvenience.

Packing bags well is an art. If you do it right, they work really well: you create a framework with boxes and stuff like spaghetti, heavier stuff on the bottom, top it with things that mash like bread so its obvious where it is and can be avoided with stacking.
I worked as a bagger at a grocery store one summer, and had a lot of fun fixing up bags for people. One time this hispanic guy came in with his family, stood around waiting while his wife tried to wrangle 3 little ones and pack everything and carry everything. I loaded up a bag with like 40 pounds of cans and heavy stuff and shoved it directly into his arms. Carry this you lazy bastard.

Yeah we had to watch a video. I'd been bagging groceries going shopping with mom for a decade or more, so I was good already at it. They didn't want help out to the car much, but I did have an amusing event once doing that.
One of the local Chinese restaurants used to shop for supplies at the store, and the lady brought her predictably gorgeous teen daughter, around my age. She gave me shy sweet looks and I was obviously interested and mom was having none of it. She stopped having me help with the car, and eventually just stopped bringing her along entirely. I was not worthy of her daughter as a mere bag boy.

I'm so old I remember when they were Food Varlet.
Chinese coins always used to have a hole in them. Handy for putting them on a string to carry them, and you could make up strings of specified value that could be simply be weighed without having to count them (obviously you can weigh regular coins, too, but a bunch of loose coins aren't as convenient as just tossing a string on the scale).

Sort of depends on what you think is a benefit. West of the time zone center meridian, local mean noon shifts later, meaning later sunsets, but also later sunrises.
In some of the ridiculous ones, like the Michigan upper peninsula and middle western Indiana, even 30 minutes would result in some still very late sunrises around the winter solstice.

The local term for such coins was, as Westernized, "cash".
Before that term became common, cash in English was called "ready money".

The DST mess is about latitude, really, and the modern fact that we're slaves to the clock, rather than the sun (the ancient natural clock).
So, it's about when you want sunset relative to quitting time per the clock vs sunrise relative to the clock.
Now, the higher the latitude, the greater the swings in length of daylight between summer and winter solstice. In summer, you've got some room to play. In winter, it gets tighter. And there's nothing you can do about that.

That has nothing to do with timezones, though. People lived thousands of years without standardized timezones, or even clocks, for that matter.
It’s not as if your stomach says “Wow, the numbers on the clock read 12:00, it’s time to eat lunch!” Your body gets hungry for lunch in the middle if the day, whether the clock says “07:20” or “12:00” or “19:19” or “DB:QZ”, it’s all just arbitrary digits for keeping things in sync.
Except now we have a global information space, but dozens and dozens of conflicting local rules on how to compute which digits appear on the clock. It doesn’t even make sense, the dividing lines are even. China is one TZ. Russia is 11. How does that make sense?

Just looking. In China, which is communist dictatorship, they make everyone follow the clock. Those to the far west have to get up very early relative to the sun, but yet they don't go to bed. They get less sleep.
And there is striking correlation between longitude and life expectancy. Not all of that is due to the circadian disruption, but that effect is there.

You would wake up roughly when you wake up now. The digits on the clock are arbitrary. My body isn’t programmed to wake up at 06:30, it’s programmed to wake up about 30 minutes after sunrise. That might be 06:30 on the clock face or 12:30 or 17:45. Makes no real difference.
Meanwhile, TZs make a mess of everything. If you ever coordinate across three or more TZs you just end up using UTC anyway. Every computer network I’ve ever worked on but one was set to UTC. The one that wasn’t was set to Eastern time and lost an hour of data every fall when DST ended.

But you would still just eat at whatever lunchtime is for your part of the world. There’s nothing magical about the digits 12:00 on the clock. If you worked in a region where a “9 to 5” started at 13:00, then lunch would be three hours in, at 16:00.
And people already do this. I haven’t worked a job in my career that had any firm start time, end time or meal times. Some people start at 07:00 local time, some at 09:00, some at 10:30. One guy started at like 04:00, which was nuts, but more power to him.
