They did it again!

Oslos articulated buses love to gather in roundabouts!

The recent actions in New York fighting even one person operations, let alone automation, feels so stark compared to DC where WMATA has announced plans to completely automate and has largely gotten strong backing from the region's leaders.

The 2055 System Plan (which is what the vote was based on) uses graphics of DMUs and says frequency will be every 30 minutes peak and hourly all other times, with bidirectional service.

I think the issue there was saying that the October 7th attacks were fine because he views all Israelis as settlers.

Just another Americanism spreading around the world.

Farm talent seems to get younger every year

Depends on if the next one happens. We had two during Trump I and then none during Biden.

Does that matter with regards to not wanting people to be in more danger than they have to be?

I want driving to be less *convenient* than public transit, not more *unsafe* and taxis in some form will always exist. Why not have them be safer?

I also find public transit cool. But that doesn't mean I can't find other stuff cool as well.

I have no idea why you thought I wanted transit replaced by these rather than taxis or ride-share which they compete with much more directly.

Because they're safer than regular cars and taxis. I almost always use public transport or bikeshare personally, but occasionally I do need to use taxis. And other people use them as well. It would be safer for me as a pedestrian if they were more common. Plus I do just think it's cool.

But they clearly misspelled BLT on the signage

Sitting here in DC unable to use any of the Waymos because DDOT still hasn't issued recommendations for self driving cars despite the law requiring the report by late 2022.

And it still seems to be spreading to new places somehow! Though I'll admit to loving the term, it's very cute.

Linguistic determinism is real, but just for when English speakers try and build infrastructure.

Man, images like this make me sad that widespread electrification didn't catch on in the US.

Sloan's painting is set in NYC's Herald Square, with elevated train tracks overhead. In the left background is a screen with election returns that were projected from a raised booth like one in photo below

The sunk cost got me

And an 18 inning game!

It looks better, but it feels odd. Like you're modifying the quote.

I grew up watching the Daily Show, and immediately clocked the anti-SJW shit on youtube as being another version of the Fox News shit I enjoyed Stewart make fun of. Never had any sort of conservative phase, but I do think being Jewish helped me even more to stay away from the really crazy groups.

Go Bowie Baysox! (I refuse to call them the Chesapeake Baysox, bring back the alliteration)

Blake Snell, the Dodgers' game 5 starter, has a 2025 salary of $28,436,867. Trey Yesavage, with one of the greatest rookie pitching performances in World Series history, has a 2025 salary of $57,204.

God I hate BWI ground transportation. They should build an actual people mover like what Dulles has in order to connect the parking and MARC/Amtrak station.

#PurpleLinePoweredUp: Advanced dynamic testing is now underway. Stay alert near tracks, never go around police/flaggers., and follow traffic control. See Tracks? Think Purple Line. ow.ly/nkGG50XjkvN. #ConnectingCommunities

drake turning off the game as it gets to 18

Perhaps kills his start for the next game though
