Cars are faster, cover long distances which are just infeasible for bikes, are more comfortable, can be used in bad weather, and are needed for people with disabilities.
In many cases the long distances were created by cars. Cities worked fine before cars. But cars demand so much space that cities became spread out.
A solution to this problem is to repopulate city centers around the country by replacing parking lots with mixed use buildings.

Imo, the fact that the numerator and denominator units are incompatible isn’t a big deal since the message “eat .08% percent of your body weight in protein each day” is not the intuitive way to think about how much to eat. It’s much easier to use a unit in the numerator that is common measuring nutrition and a unit in the denominator that is common for measuring body weight.

I typically use Wolfram alpha for more complicated date math, and it answers a slightly modified version of this question correctly: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=what+day+is+the+11th

If enough states decide to give their votes to the winner of the popular vote, this would solve the problems of the electoral college. A fair number of states already agreed to the popular vote compact. We just need the big Republican states to agree. Which probably will happen after a Democrat wins the electoral college after loosing the popular vote.
The way politics are trending, with more white Democrats and non-white Republicans, the electoral college advantage for Republicans is fading.

There should be a protected bike lane in the median with a dedicated signal where the diamonds cross
In suburbs people might have neighbors at that distance and a car brain would drive to their neighbors house
