There's a Chinese action movie The Battle at Lake Changjin about them fighting off the US in the Korean war that someone recommended but I haven't watched it yet.

After being here a couple decades my family came to visit and kept saying “interstate one” and “interstate ten” and it was like daggers in my ears. lol. I guess I didn’t talk driving plans with norcalers often enough to notice the “i” usage.

This reminded me of the first time I watched those "The Californians" sketches from SNL for the first time, and the surreal feeling I got when all their conversations about driving routes were the same exact fuckin things I heard every day at my first job in socal.

That depends on the goals of the project. If you want to connect the major metro centers of LA and SF as quickly and cheaply as possible in an effort to replace air traffic between them, then maybe you don't want to stop in all those central valley cities. Sort of the same reason that the 5 itself does not stop in any of those cities.

a.lo posted:Just make it to Vegas. I don't want to visit San Jose anyways. Brightline is building a Vegas branch, but the California terminal will be in Rancho Cucamonga. They're relying on CAHSR to build the link into LA. Also, the headline is misleading - it makes it sound like they've already spent $100 billion when they've only spent about a tenth of that so far.

Morbus posted:That's somehow even worse considering how long they've been "building" this thing lol That's how non-freeway infrastructure construction works here. You can't spend what it would take to build the project in one lifetime because you get headlines like the one above. Instead, you spend as slowly a possible so everything takes a lifetime to build and costs 200 times as much.
