I think once upon a time, some dumb politician used it to announce something dumb and it didn't work lol

I'm more cynical, I think it's just for clout and marketing. IA is widely known and used, so an attack is guaranteed to be noticed and generate news articles. They're also known for having large robust infrastructure, but they aren't large enough that an attack is impossible, so a successful attack is impressive yet still feasible. If someone can pull it off, it would make great marketing for their black market DDOS service and also grant huge bragging rights in certain communities.

We should follow Calculus's example and represent all lowercase l's as โ„“

Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

I was assuming it was all uppercase

Only if you're using a bad font that doesn't differentiate between I and l

Yes, it depends on where the roads and rails are built and how direct their paths are.

The people in the meme are at about Seattle and NYC, which is a little over 3k miles apart (by car). You'd need to be going 250mph for the entire 12 hours to make that distance. A quick google search says that the maximum operating speed of a bullet train is 200mph, but tests have been conducted at 275mph.

So, you'd need to go non-stop at 125% max speed to make the trip in 12 hours. Even if you went at 275mph, realistically you'd make a lot of stops along the way, which is going to make the average speed a lot lower. Trains are great, but the US is really big.

Bonus fact: a non-stop flight from Seattle to NYC takes about 5.5 hours.

Plenty of comments hurt my brain trying to comprehend how utterly stupid they are, but I don't think there's anything an anonymous stranger could say that would hurt my feelings, that kinda stuff needs to be personal.

The EU is not at all equivalent to the USA. The US federal government has a looot more power than the EU and the states a lot less autonomy than EU countries. Also, culture is more homogeneous across the US than across the EU.
