MikeJF posted:How can they not be station like? I mean, I said metro had full stations as in a full platform, as distinct to light rail which are basically bus shelters. (Or when they're running on road as trams, often not even that. Just get off when the light is red) I just assume when people say station, they mean classic "stations" with buildings and sometimes parking. Many LIRR/Metro North stops have these, as do many NJ Transit stops. Subway stops here are usually just platforms with entrances/exits and sometimes a booth with a person in it, except for the bigger stops with multiple trains, which have all kinds of connecting tunnels and sometimes even have news stands in them (or even some full fledged retail shops which is very rare.)

LIRR stations are just parking lots and platforms as well, they're just more suburban in style. Although the LIRR sucks only because every time a long islander makes a "change at Jamaica" joke it makes me want to bury a hatchet in their face.

Inverness posted:There are no feeder roads. You mean frontage roads  I've tried doing some 5-level stacks but fuuuck thaaat if it's not perfectly symmetrical. You've basically got to do a bespoke design every time, and my cities are hella throwaway. The asset designer can be okay for building blocks of interchanges, but I end up doing them from the ground up anyway.

I did a tour of Chicago and was stunned at how crazy loud the el was, and when the tour guide said they were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to replace the hindered m hundred year old shakey riveted iron stuff, being from Dallas with an all-reinforced concrete elevated light rail system, I piped up and asked, "is it being replaced with a concrete version to cut down on the noise and corrosion issues?" They all looked at me like I was crazy. The el is the noisiest drat thing, holy poo poo, if you're within half a block of it while a train is passing by, it's so loud you can't shout over it. In 2015. What the hell. It's like Chicago peaked in 1927 and completely forgot to upgrade their transit infrastructure in the last century.

Anyone have any idea why the intersection editor appears to be completely broken for me? It wasn't working last month; I have since reformatted and reinstalled (for unrelated reasons) and done a full out reinstall. Even disabling all mods, you can click on this loving road until you're blue in the nuts and nothing ever happens. gently caress you, little road icon

Man, gently caress you people, the El is one of our goddamned treasures here. And replacing it with concrete would involve ripping up basically some of the wealthiest parts of town, which ain't gonna happen. Nobody who lives here minds the noise.

As someone who lives in Illinois and frequents Chicago, the reason the people of Chicago are not bothered by the L is because they have lived there so long that they have gone loving deaf from driving/walking/riding near or on it for so drat long. You don't mind the noise because you can't hear it anymore.

His dad left the family out of the blue one day, he was kicked out of the house and became homeless, he married a woman he hates and had kids that never talk to him, and now he's divorced and angry. Edit: A recent cartoon showed he wanted to make children's books rather than be a political cartoonist. You can see all of The Onion's totally real political cartoons here. http://www.theonion.com/graphic/sun-burned-50985

piratepilates posted:Seriously look at how rad this is: That is loving terrifying. I mean it looks cool, but it is terrifying. From pictures, the Chicago Els look exactly like NYC elevated trains, so I assume they are just as loud. If you lived right next to a stop there is literally no way in hell that you do not have hearing loss. There was a recent news story about one stop in Queens that has a school right next to it, and the teachers have to stop teaching every time a train passes because it is that loud. My friend lived around the corner and it was impossible to watch TV, listen to music, or talk if the windows were open and a train passed. There is one part in the Bronx where the train comes within inches of a building on a turn.

Decrepus posted:Do you barter exclusively with your customers or do some of them use a form of currency? As a small business operator, I've learned to love the barter economy. Let's say I have a profit margin of 50% on my product (not unheard of for value-added food, my industry). If I can give you $10 worth of product instead of $10 cash in exchange for something, I've effectively paid you $5 instead of $10.
