We also lived through 9/11 at a very formative time, which didn't help matters.

Yeah, because that's more reliable data.

A part of this story is how during Andy Byford's tenure, one of the biggest thrusts to his work was to fix this problem. He aggressively started studying and revising the timers to speed trains up, and it seemed to have worked. Of cour

Sure, but the New York Subway is the most interlined metro system in the world. You have to essentially change everything at once, or at least go trunk line by trunk line, or run two separate systems concurrently. None of which are easy opt

I grew up in a prewar house in EastVan but the neighborhood had a lot of these houses around it, usually filled with East Asian or Indian immigrants. Taking the Skytrain was so fun as a kid. It was certainly a unique experience. The big cul

Yeah, I work in software development for an app with a large user base from over 20 years. This would never work, mostly because the demands of the users not only keep changing, but we constantly have ways to improve the core functionality

This gets to the point of the largest pipes on a pipe organ, the 32' and 64' pedal stops. There's only two "true" 64' pedal stops in the world, one of which is in Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. You can he

Yes, I, too, hate myself.

That's nice!

This is so much fun. Amazing!

That's not why they fell out of style, though. The main reason is they're difficult to play well (at least compared to the modern flute), and they aren't loud enough. Recorders can't compete against other woodwinds or or

It's so easy because not having a license functionally cuts you out of any sort of economic or social activity except for a very small sliver of people who live in transit-rich cities like New York and Boston. America's car cultur

Yes, but traveling by air as an obese person is invariably uncomfortable, not only physically but mentally too.

Can confirm, this is definitely a problem and it's getting worse.

There's always the Nissan Rogue Sport, the smaller Rogue version.

Well, I live in the burbs and have a kid in his carseat in the back, plus stroller and groceries. Not to mention I'm a rather large man and when we last looked for cars I literally couldn't fit into a lot of them, I need more spac

Right! Jira's pretty great. Sure it's clunky sometimes, especially with it's bastardized version of SQL, but whatever, it's non-coder friendly.

Thank you for thoroughly othering me. I didn't do anything to you.
