    Don’t let a handful of half wits convince you your comment isn’t dumb and pointless. Regardless of your worthless contribution here, my point is living 500 miles away from something isn’t all that close. At least 500.

        Between Ohio and Minnesota is a lot more than a 6 hour trip however far it is, and 6 hours at 70 is 400 miles.

            Indiana and Wisconsin both are known for tageting out of state drivers actually. Like their locals will be passing you, and they will ticket you for going a few over when everyone was passing you. It’s about raising revenue you see. Ohio probably too, lots of nazis and klansman, or whatever the klan turned into, they are big into the police force there, Indiana even moreso.

      And an ICBM can cover a distance of 500 miles in about 1.8 minutes, assuming a very rough average speed of 15,000 mph.

      500 miles is nothing in a war zone.

        Oh, is Europe afraid Russia is going to launch medium range ballistic missiles at them?

        Also ballistic go into space first, then across, then back down, so it wouldn’t be 1.8 minutes.
