Or they could just build a train. I love how all these dance around everything under the sun but trains.

A quick search had one source saying the Japanese Shinkansen costs about 35 million per train, a preexisting technology you could just go and buy. It's almost like we figured out a lot of great ways to move people already, but they're not lethal enough for the modern age I guess.

There's just not enough grift in trains, especially after the U.S. auto industry spent decades demonizing the things. Sadly the only place for trains left in the U.S. is C-SPAM.

Living at the end of the Acela corridor, it's amazing just how much better train travel is to get to the cities along it. Even taking the non-Acela trains are a significantly superior experience to flying or driving.

You can also sell your TotallyNotATrain to local authorities more easily because you can hype up the ability and lowball the cost, while people in general know how much a train costs The big challenge is getting another TotallyNotATrain build after the first but that's a problem for future you

I like how they're advertising the frain explicitly to appeal to Dubai investors. It's a big stupid useless thing and that's the type of stuff they go nuts for (or did before the market took a hit).

Driver definitely slammed on the brakes, but was just too close for it to do anything. You can see smaller puffs of smoke all the way until it hit the truck as the anti-lock brake system kept trying and failing to prevent skidding.

Quite an appropriate joke, given the touch screen controls those destroyers in the 7th fleet had and after pages of arguing about touch screens in utes and SpaceX capsules. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49319450 quote:The US Navy is replacing touch screen controls on destroyers, after the displays were implicated in collisions.

The difference of course is that ships are actually piloted by humans and spaceships are piloted by computers.
