As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?

When given a robot voice, all it learned how to do was scream endlessly.

Seems like we’re overdue.

No Italian rebel crisis, no more Cato, no more independent Pompeii, Julias Ceaser got married, this Cicero guy really knows how to argue. So much better than the 70s.

I know it’s a real thing, but I still think of a sexy FBI agent every time I see “interrobang”

I always feel like these induced demand arguments are suggesting that adding more lanes means the same number of people are just choosing to do more driving. Maybe, as you add more lanes you create the infrastructure for a city to grow, and it adds more people which then fill up the new lanes. People aren’t just going out and buying a new car or rolling an existing car out of the driveway that they were previously not using because a new lane is built. These are net new drivers, who would not be in that city if the infrastructure for them hadn’t been built.

Underrated comment.

A dictatorship is a system of government where the one person gets to help everyone out by making all the tough and boring governmenty decisions. But it’s also a system where the the one person making the decisons can be a really bad person, and therefore can make really bad decisions. So, yeah, swings and roundabouts.
