Resistance decreases though. You may even get a superconductor if you're
lucky. Err... (thinks back to pre-geophysics physics), electrons will
lose thermal energy/noise, lower entropy - don't know about
"straight-line" velocities though.

Everyone knows where they are relative to GMT? (or is it just me because
I'm displaced?) As for the difference between Mountain Time, Central
Time, which State has Daylight Saving Time,etc - it gets so complicated!
