Disclaimer: I could be wrong or not up to date, but this is my current understanding.
On the small scale, forces like electromagnetism and gravity pull things together much much faster than the rate of cosmological expansion. That's why "we" don't expand, and neither does our frame of reference. There's a potential end to the universe where the rate of cosmological expansion (which increases over time) finally exceeds gravity and electromagnetism and eventually even the strong force, causing everything to fly apart forever.
Light waves propagate through spacetime itself, and basically it ends up being that there's nothing pulling it back from expanding as the space it travels expands.
I did recently discover you can turn off "Web and App Activity" for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that's worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can't even search for labels I've added to Google maps myself.
I've been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven't even gotten around to installing it yet.
I also prefer the cold myself, but you know it gets much colder than 0°F in lots of places right?
I know what you mean, but yeah, in the Midwest I've been seeing more and more semis camping the left lane all the time. It's gotten really bad for my road trips.
It's interesting you say that, cause in the last few years I've noticed more and more trucks that never exit the left lane. They can be the only vehicle on the road for a few hundred feet in either direction but they'll still sit in the left, even when a car caravan catches up and is forced to pass them on the right.
It's honestly the most egregious in a few sections of highway I drive where there are "Left lane js for passing only" signs every few hundred feet (literally every 10-20 seconds driving).
The Forest is a good multiplayer survival crafting game, with a pretty cool story. The sequel is also already out I think.
