I just took a look at the JMRI page and it's very a very cool little niche market ecosystem. Software and hardware both.
Yet another advanced peripheral system, Train CNC!

- dan_the_welder 17y agoMetaphor: "It's train CNC!" Simile: "It's like CNC for trains!" Literal truth: "It's called DCC actually" If your point was to add information, then there was a better way to do it.
- jrockway 17y agoAt least I was trying to add information, where you were just making a dumb joke and then a dumb personal attack.
- dan_the_welder 17y agoI was enthusiastically commenting on a healthy niche market and then I used a metaphor point out that it's not just a hobby or a toy that these people are working on. It's a sophisticated tool that interfaces with the outside world much like CNC, which happens to be my area of interest.
