What do you like to do for fun/what to do get up to in your free time
I don't like this question since I spend my free time doing low-status things :)

And if the supply curve is X people can use the road at 0 congestion, but X * 1.05 people can use the road at high congestion ... if the demand curve is in the wrong place, everyone can end up with high congestion.
I wouldn't be surprised if past a certain point congestion decreased capacity.
I'm not entirely sure what a 'full capacity but not max throughput' road looks like? (genuine question as opposed to rhetorical)
A traffic jam.

I think the induced demand idea comes from the observation that while travel times for things like trains are fairly stiff as utilization approaches capacity, roads tend to see a large increase in travel times when approaching capacity. I don't think it's aptly described by induced demand, but it is likely rather frustrating that an increase in capacity is just that, with no decrease in travel times. This is an especially bitter truth because the total throughput may be maximised at less than full capacity.

He was supposed to be trustworthy enough to have such access; this is what the background investigation is supposed to determine
I thought the background checks are supposed to determine if someone could bribe/blackmail you into disclosing secrets.

The only way to get a fair offer is to have at least 2 other competing offers. Assuming a rather optimistic 30% interview success rate, OP would have to schedule ~9 interviews to have sufficient competing offers for the next negotiation phase.
I don't understand how you can even leverage that for 2 interviews let alone 9. Every time I've interviewed at multiple places, one place has been done in 2 weeks, and the other is on round 2 of 5 or whatever.

DDG has been my default search for a while and most of the time I end up having to go back to google to find what I want. Google's getting worse but is still the best out there.
Yeah, somewhere along the way DDG stopped recognizing quotes, and doesn't make any attempt to ensure quoted words are in the results. At least google is only a !g away...

Damn it, we need an alternative to FPTP.
I favor approval voting. You vote to "approve" as many candidates as you want; the candidate with the most approving voters wins. Unlike RCV, there aren't situations where you win by being less popular, there are no spoiler effects, it is extremely simple, and you end up with centrist politicians instead of maximally divisive ones.
