@@MomDoer-qc7iw Not true for development. You can have a certain development or underdevelopment of the brain, or a genetic mutation. It can be inherited or simply a mutation. As far as seeing something and then developing photic sensitive epilepsy, that doesn't happen from the action, but rather the natural development or underdevelopment of the brain. With that development, you will then have to find certain criteria that would trigger the seizures.

How else do people express their displeasure to the person in front of them at being unable to magically make the road clear?

[@adamboyd1132]

@@Jockdog Yeah, in Seattle we generally use honks to add information to the conversation. We all know that rush hour & bumper to bumper traffic SUCK. And we all know that other people know this.

The company that owns my local public transport (buses and subway) have traumatised me too much this year for me to even stomach explaining how bad it's been (and I have a tendency to make do with things being bad because "I'm ok, really, and it could be worse, so I'll manage"!). Constant bus and/or train strikes, one line off all year, flood damage to the remaining line, and that's without the daily "train out of service due xyz" randomness. One week I was late to every 9am lecture I had. Every day, I learned from my mistakes and changed my route. Every day, I was still late. On the last day of term, it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to travel the 10 miles home - I had to get 4 different buses. I miss my 1 hour commute from when the train line wasn't closed for repairs - one day, (so the ancient legends say) the line will reopen and the great evil will be defeated!

Tip: vehicles can be changed. For mass transit vehicles, select a line to change the model. For service vehicles (hearses, police, etc.), their respective buildings (cemetery, police station, etc.).

Furthermore, flashing sunlight through trees absolutely causes road hypnosis and that is a total bi... architect... to cope with.
