... Information Superhighway.
Who called it "instance drama" when they could have called it "rubbernecking the Information Superhighway".
A New Urbanist INSTANCE WHERE THE TIMELINES ARE LABELED "Home" "Street" "Road"
(About Me: I have to look up the definitions for which one is which every single time.)
@alyssa (And so that's what the joke there was. And how it connected to the "the federated timeline is a highway" posts above it.)
@alyssa I don't generally mentally distinguish in the slightest (between the meaning of the words themselves), but within New Urbanism (I'm... like 70% sure this is New Urbanism, and not some other movement) there is the concept of how "paved ways that cars can drive on" can be either "place where people enter and exit from houses and businesses, sometimes into cars" or "part of a path intended to get a car from end-of-path A (elsewhere from this paved section) to end-of-path B (also elsewhere)".
And they are very against the mixing of those two concepts, which leads to design that puts, e.g., a crosswalk between a school and a mall going across six lanes of traffic that normally go 40-50mph. They refer to that concept as a "stroad", a portmanteau of "street" and "road", which they use completely distinctly for those two distinct uses.
And that I remember off the top of my head.
But I can usually never remember which is the "street" and which is the "road".
