Actually doctors say that needing to strain really hard to take a shit and then having it all blast out at once means everything is working like it’s supposed to
Had two dreams in one right where I was falling from the sky with a parachute in my hands and couldn't get it on my back in time and hit the ground at terminal velocity #whatdatmean
@pasta_niece Ived used them probably half a dozen times in the last couple years. Def a bit budget but they've been solid, I am a fan of getting to bcn nonstop. Have had delays before but not cancellations
Rather awkwardly, the most innovative part of the Vegas Loop is the multi-coloured lights.
The Boring Company are very proud that, over five days, they were able to carry 16,400 passengers per day - using a system that takes everything that is inefficient about cars and tries to pretend it is a form of public transport.
To put it into perspective, London’s Elizabeth Line carries 800,000 passengers per day and almost as many in one hour as The Boring Company achieved during the whole expo.
Even in the late 19th century, the Metropolitan and District Railways were running trains roughly every 2–3 minutes at peak once the system matured, ferrying 12,000–18,000 passengers per hour per direction. And that was steam-powered using infrastructure built 160 years ago.
So, to be clear, Elon Musk’s “future of transport” transports between three and four times fewer people per hour than we were able to do in 1863 London.
Urban transport efficiency comes from large vehicles, shared journeys, and frequent service.
Cars — whether they’re electric or autonomous or on roads or in tunnels — do the opposite.
If the goal is moving lots of people quickly through cities, why design a system with the same constraints as cars?
Cities: please don’t waste any more time or money on this. We have the solutions: trains, metro, trams, buses and bikes.
@MBTA been standing at Ball square for almost 30 minutes waiting for a train. I get that weather messes with things but this is ridiculous. No announcements, no estimates, no suggestions of alternative bus routes. Nothing? Riders need information and some accountability
@MBTA what is the point of a transfer station if the train I need to get on leaves 4 seconds before the train I'm arriving on opens its doors? Just happened at North station going from green to orange. Just like... Cmon y'all please act like public transit you can do better, pls
@SomervillePD absolutely shameful behavior by two officers this morning. Pulled over a cyclist in an unmarked car for going with the pedestrian signal at the three way intersection. Meanwhile a car ran that red light right in front of them. When I approached to say "excuse me...
Nearly every day I see Somerville cops ignore cars double parked, running red lights, and turning illegally, all behaviors which actually endanger other roads users. It is disgraceful and only further justifies the public's disdain for modern policing. Do better.
