How does my 4 star hotel in Hawaii have its own train network yet most US cities have nothing

@ridestheTalot @sillycreaturehq Genuine question: why bother to run two trains with a 10 minute gap?

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@upandafter @kpottermn There was one airline that used to do this from NYC to London pretty sure. I think they folded during the pandemic unfortunately.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@x3mity @johnloeber @TheMattBeebe @Delta I assume by partner airline they mean a Delta Connection flight (hence the need for the Delta app still). I used to fly on Republic a lot under Delta and none of their regional jets had the new WiFi.

@drewisjamming @seastrxck Right now the platforms are lower than the boarding doors so you need ramps to roll on. The plan is to rebuild the platform higher so they're at the same level as the doors and ramps won't be needed. They've been doing this at all of the new/rebuilt stations.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@ridestheTalot The MBTA really under-sold the fact that this is basically redoing the entire station.

@kitten_beloved @Poopcrates FreeTaxUSA doesn't have a max income. It's not one of the free file options which are income restricted.

@DannyInTheNorth @noturtlesoup17 Are you referring to the community notes linking directly to this quote tweet?

IT IS NOT A "commuter train"

IT IS CALLED "THE T"

AND IT IS A SUBWAY

@xoclaralevine @big_literally @RealPostFolder I've always thought you needed four corners otherwise a devoted person could turn 2 bills into 3

@deathmetalv10 @OrevaZSN Unfortunately didn't this get rolled back a couple months ago?

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@sjs856 @BiffShackleford @CarlHigbie I agree with you on the safety and efficacy of the MMR vaccine. People should get vaccinated.

But as to your specific example, isn't water poisoning/intoxication a thing? This is why I feel like root cause attribution for deaths gets silly after a point.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@AndreTI @CarlLately @JosephPolitano In fact I'm pretty sure when you first use Waymo they tell you that they can remotely operate the vehicle if needed.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@TheNotoriousHRT @WillExists_ Worse, I think this unintentionally makes Fairmount and Morton as red line stops without a commuter rail connection. They're not indicated as transfers like Mattapan.

@zunxra @LinkofSunshine Your GE card should scan just fine. Unless they have it upside down, of course.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@JackErickson_iv @BostonMassUSA Hey hey, we don't want to be too optimistic around here.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@myCDHands @JoshRaby There have been accidents where a plane was down within 15 seconds, it's unfortunately not nearly as long as we'd all hope.

But you're right! Pilots are trained to take stock of the situation first and evaluate their options, very rarely do they intentionally crash a plane.

[Kevin Brown-Silva @ReadySetDeploy]

@rebane2001 Google Assistant can do this and I use it all the time. "Set a timer for 9am" and then it helpfully let's me know how much time between then and now.

If one-off alarms were easier to create then it'd fill that niche, but I don't want a bunch of alarms to clean up.
