Interesting also that several of these ships seem very recent construction.

Okay. I wonder why this isn't already a thing. (Also probably, "extremely low cost" underestimates the ease with which all crossings and many stations on the Peninsula have already been built up to crazy levels.)

The WSJ article is "slightly" disheveled, but the paper will be useful. Haven't read it yet. Looking for others' reviews. Here is a reddit thread. https://old.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/

Of course, but only because of equally self-inflicted mismanagement. Caltrain can also be considerably slower. All the way to "okay, we are lucky this train stopped in a station and let's switch to Lyft." Exactly similar to &

The old trains have the PA volume at completely random level from one car to the next. Often extremely loud. The staff is happy with it being just how it is (no intent to adjust it, no intent to report it to maintenance.) You travel on Calt

They are ingenious, and can make even level boarding slow. See Muni.

How did we ever manage with paper print? The mind boggles. (We managed with later printings and later revisions. Which is one reason people sometimes seek an earlier edition or printing.)

Isn't SpaceX already scheduled with the next vehicle there? With likely enough space on it and no rush on the space station? SpaceX is already next, already in the news as the safe solution.

A great illustration of what "not toxic" means. For you manual labor seems fine as a day job. (While for other people it might be the opposite.)
