  • Well it did say it was a milestone flight, as well as 68 miles not necessarily meaning on a straight road you could drive 70mph on.

    There are a lot of good arguments for rail or other means of transportation, but the travel volume vs the infrastructure required are vastly different in the US than in many parts of Europe/Asia. Think ‘lots of medium distance low volume routes’ that aren’t economically feasible since there are existing routes. If you went through the effort of building a train route, you would have to charge so much per person to make it pay for itself that no one could afford it and they would take other methods.

    I’m Europe, there seem to be enough ‘short, high volume routes’ that are economically feasible that considering adding other legs to them make sense, or they just already work.



  • Well, in case you were being serious, the point i was responding to was the ‘if it’s obvious to everyone that she’s gay, then wearing a shirt with a shirt boating about it is somehow a little cringe’.

    My point was both that just because someone looks stereotypically gay doesn’t mean they are, so it’s fair to wear a shirt proudly admitting it, even if it is a little over the top. The earlier comment about it being similar to sometimes Uncle wearing a shirt offering ‘mustache rides’ is completely off the mark since that is more of a crude case of a man trying to either boat about his manliness, or defect implications that he’s gay.

    These shirts are basically leaning into the ‘f-you, this is who i am’, unless they were specifically wearing them to a lesbian meet up hoping to impress other girls with the words on their shirt. If that were the case then it would match almost exactly to the mustache rides example.









  • Well, it might be a ‘software design issue’, but it’s really more of a branching point that was made long ago and reflects the world we live in. It could be fixed, but the point is that error messages are often not logged but people tend to act like they must be, and that their vague description of an issue should be enough to track it down like ‘something flashed on my screen last week’.

    Hell people can’t even describe useful parts of an error that’s correctly happening…‘it’s not doing ANYTHING!’ can often mean anything from not booting, to the mouse not moving, to ‘it’s working perfectly but icons are snapping into place instead of staying exactly where I’m dragging them’.






  • Any zoning issues? May be worth splitting it up, lease some for farming for now, set up a couple of acres for a small utility/living area so you can visit and stay for short periods or permanently so you can get a sense of actually being there… Seasons, smells, sounds, wildlife, infrastructure like roads will all impact what the experience or opportunities actually are and often bday depending on the time of year.



  • Possibly because the consequences ‘evil’ people get is effectively more like living in their own shit than external punishment. If you only look at direct repercussions it looks like they’re making it pretty well, and even by their own estimates it might seem like that, but they’re really just rising to the top of a story social scale. If you value that it will be frustrating.
