That would've been the case in early times. Now everything is computer controlled. So redundancy should be built into the system. For example Japanese bullet trains run in one of the highest earthquake prone regions in the whole world. And they get hit by earthquake frequently. Yet the bullet train delays are messured in seconds! Not minutes, not hours, literally seconds. Not to mention that after more than 50 years of service that haven't been a single passenger fatality. Zero.
Same goes for roads as well. Weren't there major congestion when that ship hit the US bridge?
Yep. GOP are the most snowflakes I've ever seen. Also remember the Budweiser rebranding? Who thought the tiniest colour change would upset the manliest manly men?
Yeah, against a playboy who didn't have any political experience or acumen whatsoever. This should've been a landslide victory for dems. I stand by what I said, Trump won because it was Hilary he was up against. If it were Bernie, Trump wouldn't have had a chance.
What have these athletes done to personally contribute to genocide?
They might have not anything wrong. That's why they should be allowed to compete under a neutral banner.
A recognition for all the hard work they have done. But Israel the terrorist state should not be recognised.
Contender? He should've been the president in 2016. Democrats had to fuck that up. Trump won mostly because people hated Hilary.
They can compete under a new flag like the Russians did awhile ago.
Nah he's just salty that ordering a pizza got him arrested. So he hates all food now poor guy.
Annon should've told him that "Pennsylvania was a free state that fought against the Confederacy for the entirety of the Civil War". See? not that hard, this could even be a text message.
Yep cops usually kill the victim who calls the police anyway.
Nah I just posted this as a joke. I am on Fedora + KDE. Mainstream and boring as they come. Rock solid and stable though.
Haha nice try. If everyone starts liking it then it won't be niche anymore. So I won't share it! /s
Yes I understood that in the second reading. I deleted the comment but I guess it was not propagated in time everywhere. Also you can't add up the men's and women's percentages because the number of participates could vary between the two groups.
Tell me this, why don't "but" and "put" sound similar?
What about "height" and "weight", what's the rule here? And what makes a letter silent in a word? If any of these rules have exceptions, then why are there exceptions?
They are "descriptives" that's literally in the name. Mocking them is equivalent to mocking historians for only knowing the past and not being able to predict the future.
Best Lemmy App in 2024
Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?
What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?
What Are Some Great Films Not Adapted from Books?
When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.
So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?
Elevated Railways and Politics
A political faction cancels a rail project citing,
- Costs
- Not having enough stops
- Noise etc.
Then proposes a worse project or more highways. Does this sound familiar? I urge you to watch this video because there are many parallels between this Canadian tale and the now cancelled Colombo light rail project. There maybe lessons we can learn from Canada.

Who Makes Billions Paving America's Roads?
From 3:18, CNBC reports that taxes from oil is not enough to repair roads and general federal revenue provides funds. That means that everyone is subsidizing car usage.
If there were reduced car usage, infrastructure wouldn't have decayed at this rate. Ever increasing weight of trucks, SUVs other trending vehicle do nothing but accelerate this problem. This is another reason to tax vehicles by weight.

I am once again baffled how these people end up in the parliament.

I think this is from the Cold War era but I could be wrong.
