High-frequency systems with shorter trains are often more effective at moving passengers quickly during peak hours, because the trains come more often, reducing platform overcrowding and wait times. For example, the Tokyo Metro system, despite having relatively shorter trains compared to New York, serves a much higher passenger volume because of its incredibly high frequency and reliability.

New York has some of the longest subways at 600ft (160 meters)

Next up is shanghai and Beijing.

Paris is 6th.

So we could go longer but maybe more frequent is better?

NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.

It seems like it is time to nationalize Boeing.

I still play a lot of need for speed underground on my ps2.

I’ll also always love Carmageddon 2. So much fun and a soundtrack full of Iron Maiden!

Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!

I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.

It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.

I hate it too. But I am not my government.

Windows 95 crashing for the 5th time that day corrupting another high school paper.

I knew nothing about Linux, but bought a red hat 6 cd and installed it. I never dual booted or ever went back.

This was in the day of getting a modem that actually worked on Linux was a PITA as everything had turned into software based winmodems. And it wasn’t like you could just order one online. You had better have hoped Best Buy/circuit city/compusa had something.

Lindows. I can’t believe it still exists in some form…

I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.

My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.

I use s3 deep sleep which then hibernates after and hour. Works great for me as I don’t do work on my personal laptop so I’m only using it on evenings and weekends.

My grandma was from the Midwest, mostly South Dakota. My grandma was very sweet and so it really cracked us up when she said that.

When my grandmother met my now wife, who is from Alabama, my grandmother told her “well, we all have to be from somewhere”

Yup, everyday, but only the original 4 seasons. I have the audio ripped from my DVDs on my phone which just plays random episodes. No need to keep a screen on!

Vikunja is very slick!

Nextcloud is nice since iPhone natively supports caldav/carddav so you can use the built in reminders app.
