Apraxin posted:lol Where I am we already have 7: (For bin read bin or bag - they're messing around with our recycling objects & also varies with if you are an individual home or communal eg block of flats) Red bin = paper/card Purple bin = plastics (some), tins Yellow bin = 'hygiene' waste (eg nappies) Green bin with round hole or green box = glass Blue bin = food Brown bag or Green bin with lift up lid = garden waste Black bag = anything else 'domestic' (but not builders' rubble etc) & if you take anything to the tip (aka 'household recycling centre') they make you empty out black bin bags in front of them to check there's no recyclables in them.

Guavanaut posted:Yeah if anything close to that even existed as an embryonic policy, it'd be something like "allow carpooling to use bus lanes in cities during rush hour." You can't force people to have passengers but you can incentivize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-occupancy_vehicle_lane This sort of thing is not uncommon in the US, and is sometimes next to the "only use this lane if you've paid a toll" lane.

That's about the mildest traffic reduction measure possible, and Sunak's focus groups have decided that people are more scared of that than double the rates of catastrophic flooding.

And back then the boomers were all complaining about that and going "who remembers going to work on the squid??" You could let carpoolers use bus lanes though.

Up until recently the carpool thing would be unenforceable because you'd need to hire people to enforce it and the difference between the UK and the US is that the UK also cuts police budgets.

There's one in Leeds. It only applies during rush hour, but drivers don't read that part and all cram into the single remaining lane, while I drive past laughing, in my car with no passengers. So it's like the opposite of a carpool lane most of the time.

I might be thinking of a different one but I'm sure they were literally pushing them as independent bogies that you can put under cargo of arbitrary sizes, so if you tried to connect them together you'd mostly just create exciting and novel forms of derailment because there's no actual bed, just wheels wedged under a crate.

It may still be two semi-autonomous bogie units though, in which case I'm going to get extra consultancy fees by telling them about the amazing efficiency savings you can get with one big motor pulling a bunch of them instead, then the autonomous ones just kick in before the switches. e: ^^ he preferred to eat a Walther than ride shotgun

And that engineer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7h4OtFDnYE This is a deep deep kind of engineer lore, from back when it still meant "a person engaged in designing, constructing, or maintaining engines" and yet it still seems to be rediscovered every time the bogies do their thing and the bus/crate bit somehow twists and falls off.
