Because Dr Bombay is an NFT ape nobody has heard about before while Snoop is hugely famous? Also, I can't help bit think of another Dr Bombay, a vaguely racist character invented by a Swedish/Danish Eurodance guy for one album. It spawned at least one hit in Norway when I was a teen and will thus live rent free in my brain forever. Computer viking has a new favorite as of 13:39 on Jan 12, 2024 |

Ha, that train is an APT. The development project itself went about as well as you'd expect from a bleeding edge research project by British Rail in the 1980s; it did eventually produce a few prototypes but nothing good enough for routine use. On the other hand, the title is arguably right: The trains currently running the routes it was meant for are Italian-built Pendolino trains that both directly license some of the tilting tech and research from the APT, and make use of all the upgrades they made to the tracks in anticipation of the APT. In a very real sense, this is exactly how travel ended up looking in the UK. The schedules they run are apparently almost identical to what was envisioned for the APT, too; it just took a few more decades to get there than they hoped.

Were those the trains that made people physically ill?? And weren't the British in the 80's putting literal buses on rails?

I remember both kids who had them at my school had to deal with a wild rechargeable battery arrangement - even though the rechargeable were way more expensive and lasted even less time. The game gear blew through them at an unholy rate.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Were those the trains that made people physically ill?? Yes, absolutely. Just quoting directly from wikipedia: quote:The other problem was similar to sea sickness, but in reverse. Sea sickness is caused when the body's equilibrioception system can feel movement, but inside a closed room this movement cannot be seen. On APT, one could easily see the tilting as the train entered turns, but there was no perception of this motion. The result was the same, a confusion between the visual and the equilibrioception system. The solution was almost trivial; slightly reducing the amount of tilt to be deliberately less than needed resulted in a small amount of leftover centrifugal force that was perceived by the equilibrioception system as being perfectly natural, which proved to cure the effect. As for buses on rail: Yeah. Both trains made from converted buses and buses on guideways. The latter are apparently ok, but the former led to some true trash. I haven't tried either of them; I've barely been outside London when in the UK.

I rode a pacer, the wooden safety ladder was encouraging, very nostalgic for the buses I also rode in the mid 2000s which were made out of the same general components, because I live in a place with horrible trains and horrible buses.

One guy at school had an Atari Lynx and you'd usually find him sitting on the floor wherever the hallway had a power outlet. So I guess it had a mains adapter or something? Mostly I remember the machine was loving huge compared to the Nintendo Game Boy.

Cos it ATE batteries. I can confirm this. My parents bought me the AC adaptor a week after I got it cos sick of me stealing all the AAs in the house.

I could've sworn I posted my Sega Nomad here recently, but looks like I actually didn't. So, here's the Game Gear's even more cumbersome big brother! Demonstrated with the very finest software, of course. Now, this brick doesn't actually have a built-in battery compartment and instead uses a separate battery pack that attaches to the unit (there was one that took six AA batteries and another that was just a rechargeable battery pack) so you can enjoy two or three hours of Bubsy on the go... provided you handle it carefully, because it's pretty easy to knock the battery pack loose or cause the game to crash by moving the unit around too much. I don't have either of those battery packs or any of the newer aftermarket ones because I have no intention of ever taking this beast anywhere, so I just plug in the AC adapter whenever I feel like using it.
