No, it's a Belostomatid, probably a Lethocerus and they are in fact extremely loving painful. I've been bitten by a related but much smaller Belostoma and that poo poo hurt for a couple days. They inject digestive enzymes through their proboscis, which most Hemiptera are capable of. I think some of them inject compounds that are in fact classified as venom as well, although some venoms are digestive enzymes.

Cool!
Always be respectful to little critters, start there and you can avoid a lot of painful experiences.

E: actually the acceleration would wear the rails so I guess the flat spot is from braking

Yes, but not normal braking. It takes a lot to wear those flat spots. Trains are by definition a lot. Rail car brakes are pneumatic and fail applied. Delay maintenance, let an air line fail, and you're dragging a stuck wheel like a dingus.

In one video, taken during a campaign stop ahead of Turkey's March 2019 local elections, Erdogan listed some of his government's top achievements � including new housing for the city of Kahramanmaras, also known as Maras, near the epicenter of last week's quake.

"We solved the problem of 144,156 citizens of Maras with zoning amnesty," Erdogan said, using his term for the construction amnesties handed out to allow contractors to ignore the safety codes that had been put on the books specifically to make apartment blocks, houses and office buildings more resistant to earthquakes. [...]

Duvar cited a senior Istanbul city official, Bugra Gokce, who gave a breakdown of the tens of thousands of building amnesty certificates granted before the 2018 general election in 10 provinces struck by the earthquake. They included more than 40,000 amnesty certificates in the hard-hit Gaziantep province, the official said.

The amnesty meant that some builders had to pay a fine but their construction projects could go forward if they didn't meet code restrictions, according to Turkish media reports.

The Coriolis effect is far too weak to be responsible for a sink's draining direction unless the sink is extremely precisely manufactured and the drain geometry is specially designed to eliminate turbulence. Basically you need a lab setup to see the effect. Same goes for toilets, bathtubs, and other drains.

The Coriolis effect on a global level is absolutely the reason that storms turn counter-clockwise in the north and clockwise in the south, though.

More than that: everything is in reverse.

Quick reminder that Erdogan rose to power on the backing of real estate developers.
And he and people around him were mired in several corruption scandals.
