Ok to be fair they never had asterisk & obelix comics in my library. But I do enjoy the european comics.

Wow this is really tough, you can navigate within both cities decently well, but the margins are razor thin on practically every road in and out, or the interstate, which you should avoid. The country roads seem decentl flat and low traffic, you might do well on those.
Route 110 is not an interstate and it is legal to walk it, and has a pretty good margin on one side, I'd choose that. But the whole way it's going to be a struggle in that transition between highly developed city and open rural. Like the intersection between 110 and 231.
I'd say your best case scenario is:
Basically being on full alertness, very slow pace here I'd expect as your negotiate with vehicle traffic, as all of these have razor thin margins, you should expect to walk in the grass for a lot of this, this will likely take 2 days, not 1:
108, 110, try your damnedest to survive the intersection with I-85.
126, relax a bit when you get to the more comfortable but still expecting more grass and gravel. 80, 40.
Very low traffic at this point, you can probably expect to have multiple minutes between passing cars.
9, 17 which appear to have well walked footpaths to the side.
Back to more grass and gravel with 49, 56, 37, 54.
You'll arrive in the small town of Notasulga probably late at night, assuming you started early in the morning. Buy what you need at the gas station then curl up on the doorstep on one of the churches and cry yourself to sleep.
In the morning, follow 14 to Auburn, more grass and gravel, higher traffic that slowly increases, You are blessed with a decently maintained railroad that closely follows the road, and is not fenced off, you can carefully navigate the side of it. The surface is pretty dull with no fresh metal at all in the street view, so it's probably hardly used, but you should still be careful with it especially in morning and evening.
You can expect to arrive in Auburn in the late afternoon.
Sidewalks and crosswalks everywhere again, so easy going from here. Head on over to Grub Mart for what I'd expect to be 5 star food, head over to the rec center and pay for a membership so you can use their pool shower, then go to college so you can edumacate yourself on how to use greyhound.
Not a fun trip at all, could do with a walking path parallel to the highway, but I bet hardly anyone would use it because everyone drives anyways. People who don't drive find everything they need in their city limits and don't ever have to leave, and in fact, shouldn't.

It is unwalkable because it's a fucking huge country. (((Urbanists))) and bike cucks on social media don't understand that. They think the US can and should have 15-minute cities and high-speed trains everywhere.

I just watched this video from hagerty insurance, apperently there is a company in China that sells brand new car bodies for vehicles like (and this is going by looking at vehicles in the background, various websites and image searches): The Toyota Corolla (AE86) The Toyota FJ40/60 Land Cruiser, First Gen Ford Bronco, The 1983-2016 era Land Rover Defender Classic, 1963-1989 Porsche 911 Classic, AC Shelby Cobra, First Gen Volkswagen Type 2, Datsun Fairlady Z (S30) 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback, and Mazda RX3. How legal this is, I have no idea?

So I had claude run a simulation using your guide on 5 different people representing your average American.
Here's a summary of each event :
Derek M. (34, Army veteran) had the cleanest run of the five. His military conditioning and road awareness carried him through the thin-margin city roads and the nerve-wracking I-85 crossing without serious incident. A rattlesnake on the shoulder and a charging farm dog were handled calmly and without injury. He bivouacked comfortably outside Notasulga and finished in Auburn mid-afternoon on Day 2 — tired, but fully intact.
Leah R. (27, grad student) never made it out of Day 1. A July departure with only 2 liters of water and no electrolytes on roads with zero shade proved catastrophic once the heat index climbed past 100°F. By mile 22 she had stopped sweating in the heat — a sign of heat stroke — and a passing driver essentially saved her. She ended up in a Montgomery ER on IV fluids. The route in July is a different beast entirely, and she was not equipped for it.
Paul T. (51, cyclist) completed the walk but had the most harrowing start. A robbery attempt in the pre-dawn city-edge transition on Rt. 110 was only broken up by a car's headlights rounding the corner at the right moment. A violent April thunderstorm cost him 45 minutes under a culvert and pushed his Notasulga arrival into the dark. He finished Day 2 shaken but intact, and the rec center pool shower in Auburn was reportedly very well earned.
Keisha S. (22, college student) is the cautionary tale about underestimating the overnight. She had no sleep gear for a November night that dropped to 34°F and arrived at Notasulga already shivering in damp jeans. A late-night phone call to a friend in Auburn who drove out with a blanket is the only reason this story doesn't end badly. She finished the next afternoon, humbled and considerably wiser about cold-weather planning.
Ray G. (63, retired mail carrier) took three days and had the most physically punishing experience. A bad knee held up through Day 1 — including the I-85 crossing at an agonizing pace — but locked up entirely a few miles into Day 2, reducing him to a 1.5 mph shuffle along the railroad berm. He camped rough on the roadside that night and limped into Auburn on Day 3. He did cry on the Notasulga church doorstep, the guide's prediction proved prophetic, and he spent two hours at Grub Mart reconsidering his life choices.

TL;DR The only one that made it without Issue was the Army Vet.
Edit: I think we should force all the Boomers to do this walk.

If you're interested in this, the two good hosts from Donut Media left and made their own channel called BigTime. They purchased one of these bodies for an AE86. Pretty interesting stuff, the quality is about what you'd expect. A lot of the threads for the hardware and brackets are either misaligned or the wrong size. The one they bought was quite literally the first one off the production line so quality may have improved over time.
The donor car has to be genuinely terrible quality to actually justify this cost. A lot of these cars already have very high quality repop panels available, and I know Dynacorn already provides a Mustang Fastback body shell for $19k. There's about a dozen outfits making repop Defenders, and the Porsche market is incredibly over saturated. There's already at least two very reputable companies making AC Cobra kit cars out of the UK. I don't hate the idea but I'm very skeptical of how large their production runs seem in Larry Chen's video. I was assuming this was a pretty small outfit when I first heard about them through Bigtime. The market for actual body transplants is very miniscule with how labor intensive stripping a car is. I've done a couple complete frame off restorations and the prices are genuinely horrifying.

Will the next game null streams be Detroit Become Clanker?
Detroit is a very much look at most everything type of game.

Asmon shows a video of possibility the most sane and rational Brit still left. That's not me being sarcastic either.
Covers all the subjects. From debanking to socioeconomic collapse going on there. Happy Memorial Day everyone.

Maybe link to the actual video instead of the asmonslop?
eta: before anyone else accidentally gives the roach king the start of an accidental view, he doesn't actually link to the real video in the description or in a comment.
