Yeah, but Caltrain isn't a subway, it's regularly old heavy rail. Which, like I said, is not generally deployed in subway systems due to size and comfort issues. As far as the spares are concerned... Yeah, I'm not really sure

when something needs to run day-in and day-out every day, it is difficult to justify swapping things just because they're old. as it turns out, old things have stood the test of time and generally work quite well. vancouver bc upgraded

I don't think most parts and equipment are swappable anyhow. Maybe tracks themselves. But as far as the trains are concerned, you're pretty much buying all of the trains bespoke from the manufacturer. If SF used standard gauge rai

That's a good question. I suspect it matters on the composition of the wood. Wood that locks in a lot of moisture instead of carbon might be counter-intuitive. I don't really know what I'm talking about here, I'm just th

That's only partially true. You can cut forests down before they burn and finish the product into something that won't just be burnt. Then people can store the carbon compacted, and in their homes. Or honestly, you could just bur

Not well, IMO. Or, at least, "it's complicated." Take for example, the boreal forest, which produces roughly equivalent amounts of oxygen as the Amazon. A large swatch of canada is covered by boreal forest. As the climate war

So by your definition, fusion energy is also a bubble?

Nope. That's why I said if you're unsure or don't know, ask.

or... read the license and make sure you can comply with it. And if you don't know, or are unsure, ask for help. it's absurd to me that you'd need to put every library through compliance even if it has very straight forward O

I had a decent gaming machine in 2007-2008, and, in particular I remember that Battlefield 2 sounded a LOT better with a soundcard. The difference was night and day. In particular, EAX (environmental audio extensions), which was a feature o

I'm not sure how you can realize that there is a fire risk from improper electrical but then also declare that solar panels do not increase fire risk. Properly installed? Sure, no or minimal risk. But insurance companies deal in aggreg

I'm not sure either, but considering the size of the ozone hole, I don't think it's unreasonable to believe it's possible. That said, we're both just guessing.

maybe this is supposed to make me feel better, but installing features that will never be used (e.g. heating elements in the seats) just makes me mad re: waste. It's not a digital asset that costs nothing to produce/host/sust

I suspect the avg take from an order is at least $10. Grubhub, for example, will charge you an 18% service fee, a $1 "big/expensive city" fee, a tip (for the driver), and then also a delivery fee on top of that. That's b

I could be wrong but I think qualcomm is the biggest obstacle for google in supporting older phone versions. they won't ship updated drivers for new android versions for old phones.
