Privatized railways are mostly failures most of the time. Besides Brightline, and I think a bunch of the Japanese railway companies, no nation really has privatized passenger rail. But I think the Japanese system has a weird setup.

Actually, I think Italy and Germany have started allowing private companies to operate on their railways, but I think they need to fit it between the nationalized services. I could be wrong about that tho.

We do?

I know on Windows there’s settings to enable moving torrents automatically when the category changes. Also make sure to enable automatic torrent management otherwise I don’t think it will work properly.

I’d also check the default download paths too, there’s also a setting to keep inprogress torrents in a different spot. Hope that helps

I kinda slowed down on his videos since that Tom Nicolas video, but I watched his video from a few days ago about blimps because blimps are cool. But it just seemed like a corporate ad. The amount of the video that’s renders of products vs actual products is pretty bad.

It didn’t feel like a science video about blimps, it felt like half blimp startup ad, half simple blimp explanation. I don’t know, it just felt a little devoid of depth.

I hate the passive way headlines are written when it comes to crashes involving bikes. “Tossed” is such a light word for what happened. “Passing RV” as if it wasn’t the cause of it all and just happened to be there

That driver should never be allowed on the road again. There’s no excuse.

Glad the guy is alive.

I’ve run this twice for with a mix new and seasoned players both times and it’s always great!

I will def be stealing playlist as well

Thanks for posting

Not an answer to your question, but if the instruments are USB (I assume they are), you could also checkout Clone Hero. It’s a free PC version of Rock Bank/Guitar Hero, people will make custom songs for it as well, I’m sure some have drum tracks too.

Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.

When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites “streamers” came from but it always confuses me.

The problem with rubber tires is they wear the ground out a lot more, this increases with weight, these teams are going to be heavy. And if they run along the exact same spot each time it’s going to damage the ground a shit ton. This why why steel wheels on steel rails are better, they can handle a lot more weight with less maintenance.

If you really can’t put in a real tram with rails in, use trolley busses. Trolley busses can be fairly long and high capacity, while having rubber tires for hills. The benefit is they don’t drive over the same spot each time. There’s a ton more benefits to trolley busses and they are greatly underrated.

This sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. Ok well, maybe cities too cheap to pay for rails is a problem.

Edit:

Even worse, it runs in batteries. This is terrible for weight and efficiency. Just throw up some centenary wires, reduces weight and it’s more energy efficient.

Many newer trolley busses come with very small batteries so they they can drive to and from their depot’s. The smaller battery means limited range, but that’s not the point, it also saves on weight vs a battery electric bus.

Here’s a few videos on trolley busses:

Here’s a video on a similar systems that’s been removed cuz it’s a dumb idea: https://youtu.be/Kr4EZwZbxwQ

The only reasonable tax I could see being applied to an electric car is a weight tax, but that should be for all cars, not just electric. If your cars weighs more, you should pay more, especially at the city level.

More weight means it produces more wear and tear on roads. Not to mention they are more deadly, even at low speeds.

But I doubt this would happen in Mississippi lol

You’re very welcome!

Bullshit Jobs is actually the only thing I’ve read from him, besides maybe one article. What else do you recommend?

Thank you for spreading the gospel of Bullshit Jobs! Its not mentioned enough.

OP is correct, this is from Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. Here’s a link on the anarchist library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-bullshit-jobs

Highly recommend the book, really changed how I view work.

I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.

So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I’m sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.

Shit you right. My apologies, I skimmed your post very late at night lol.

Hopefully more apps pop up with more customization and settings like that.

On Connect for Lemmy, hold down on a comment to collapse it. Works the same was as rif did altho I’m still getting used to it.
