Certainly the case in Summer when I travelled from London to Leipzig on one ticket. Delays (Germany is awful over the last couple of years) and flooding meant I had to reroute. No problem with my ticket, despite through 4 countries. Likewis

I remember a last minute cancellation on a Toronto-JFK flight meant I couldn't connect to my JFK-MAN flight. Was downgraded to economy and rebooked on a Tornoto-Amsterdam-MAN arriving 7 hours late, having had very little sleep. Plane t

Sure, so why are the right wing so against having supermarkets that close?

by ta1243 2y ago
I think it's a good thing if you never need to travel. Why would I want a 40 minute drive to get to a supermarket if I could instead get to an identical one in 10 minutes? Similarly why would I want to travel for an hour to go to an

> just about any other country in the world. Well the US is the 3rd largest country in the world, with the 3rd largest population, and in terms of rail tonne-km is also 3rd. I.e. it sits where you'd expect, per sq km and per capita.

Certainly does sound miserable - worse than in a seat on amtrak, let alone a roomette or bedroom. However you can take the 1310 from LA to Phoenix, then half an hour wait before the 2245 to St Louis, and a 1h25 wait at 0720 for a St Louis t

Lol, multiple people downvoted you for some reason. A lot of Americans have this weird love of joined up handwriting. I wonder if it's because so much of their cultural history is based around a handwritten document and the mythos of t

Sorry but nobody uses "cursive" writing. People barely write once they leave education - they type. When they do write it's legible separate characters or it's unreadable scrawl.

In my experience, a specific service in "The cloud" has an uptime similar to a single raspberry pi. Some services are more reliable, maybe upto three-nines. If you design your systems as such - expecting them to fail, then using &

Yes, the US really leaves the bottom third behind If you look at incomes for graduates in the US vs the UK, it's far higher. [0] For non-graduates it's the same, and the social safety net in the UK is far better. This ties into me
