Speaking of making GBS threads in the woods, one of the guys from LoadingReadyRun has romanticized the concept so when they took a big road trip from Victoria to Forty Mile, Yukon a few years ago he managed to make it happen. Here's a completely work safe clip from their Q&A afterwards because it didn't make the main show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdcXEzU6ahc&t=5678s (should be 1:34:40 ish)

Reminds me of when my cousin threw a party and, aside from all the other ways they trashed the house, they dropped the keg and broke one of the basement stairs. Knowing there was no way to clean up in time, my cousin fled the scene so his mom (basically if Lois from Malcolm In The Middle was single) would have time to calm down after she got home. This ended up being counter-productive.

Foxtrot_13 posted:It is amazing how people will go to great lengths to reinvent the train, but now with added classism to keep out the poors from your libertarian mass transit paradise. They keep reinventing the train because trains are usually not economically viable for moving people around so they need to make it different enough that maybe it'll work this time.

Mass transit doesn't have to be profitable, but if they can serve the same number of people for less money with a bus, then it's more likely they'll put in a bus line. I wish light rail was more prevalent too, but if a city has $X to spend on mass transit and once they buy land and lay track they can serve 10 million people or they can use that same money on buses and serve 50 million people, they're usually going to get the buses.

Facebook Aunt posted:Buses are cheaper upfront because roads already exist. Busses are heavy and may in time increase the costs of road maintenance, but that won't come out of the transit budget and besides that's a tomorrow problem. Routes can also be added or changed easier. The other big advantage is not having to buy a bunch of land that people would probably rather keep for themselves. If they put in a bus route and everyone starts using it then they know the demand exists to justify a train. If 10 people ride that bus per day then at least they figured that out ahead of time. I'd like to be able to take a train more often too (or an airship or hovercraft for that matter), it just doesn't make sense to implement as much as we'd like.

I'm saying that trains are prohibitively expensive for most of the places people wish they were once you consider the number of people they'd serve and its better to give crummy service (a bus) to a bunch of people than a nice service (a train) to a handful of people.

Hedenius posted:You’re not wrong or anything but it drives me insane that we’re only allowed to discuss costs when it’s related to public transportation. Imagine if we would consider cars in the same way. The public cost per person of building and maintaining roads to the average suburban hell is insane. Then add to that what the average commuter has to pay a month for their car and fuel. Trains only seem expensive when you assume all that other poo poo is free. Part of the problem though is that you'll still need many of those roads so trucks can make deliveries to stores and factories, and once the road already exists and can withstand a semi truck hauling 50,000lbs of lumber to Home Depot then you'd might as well let people drive their cars on it. Even with industrial/agricultural rail being as built up as it is in the US, it's still usually hundreds of miles of travel by truck before it starts being cheaper to put everything on a train and then transfer to a truck near the destination. Yes, that's partially because the roads are subsidized, but it's also easier to get dual-use out of a road than try and cram people on a train trundling along at 20mph behind a literal cattle car.

Warmachine posted:Cowboy I get. This one though... Not seeing it. If you take the tallest dark splotch on the right wall to be a rider facing left, he has a big downward curved nose like Gonzo but shorter and fatter so I went with Watto. Below them near the bottom of the wall are two dark splotches to represent the front legs of the animal they're riding. Left wall makes a large head and the stepping of the blocks makes the nose horn, one of the upper horns, and that frill on the back of it's neck. I don't feel like drawing this one and accept you probably won't get it from my description. Cat Hatter fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Jul 18, 2022 |

Admiral Joeslop posted:I'm really glad y'all talked about those three prong adapters. My partner got a free 55" TV from her friend and casually mentioned to me that she bought an adapter for the wall. Guess we'll be running an extension cord to the basement or something for a bit lol Technically those adapters are fine if the outlet itself is grounded and the metal ring on the adapter is placed under the screw that attaches the faceplate. Those are some big caveats, but it's what makes those adapters legal to sell in the way Linux ISOs make BitTorrent legal. Still better to just get a GFCI outlet.
