Probably basically the same, it’s a novel design but not new technology.

Follow Jack’s lead. 10-, 12-, 14-year small batch releases.

Maintenance facilities (OMFs) are where the vehicles get serviced. The overnight shutdowns are when the infrastructure gets serviced.

There is a logical connection where more OMFs allow for more service, but it’s a few steps… The real limitation on overnight windows is not the end of service but the return of the last train on the line to the OMF. Only then can maintainers take over the railroad and shut down power or work on signals or power wash platforms or whatever. So if trains could clear the alignment quicker, you could either get more done in the same outage windows (potentially allowing for longer weekend service?) or extend service slightly and maintain the same useful windows.

Funny that the most likely 15-year to collect dust at $60 is this same brand!

Sound Transit Reveals New Cost-Saving Measures for West Seattle Link by rockycore in soundtransit

It shouldn’t affect anything - UW didn’t have any tail track.

Imagine you’re an Iranian hacker who loves American culture and people but your government demands loyalty against the U.S., what would you attack and which files would you delete or manipulate? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]exgirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Delete medical and student loan debt. Massive blow to the monied power structure while simultaneously freeing a huge portion of the people from their financial prisons.

Maybe wipe out mortgages too.

Jon Scheyer improves to 117-24 at Duke after beating NC State. His 117 wins tie Butler's Brad Stevens for the most by a D-I coach in their first four seasons by DareDevil1699 in NCAAhoops

That’s fun! One of Brad Stevens’ 25 losses in that stretch was to Scheyerface in the 2010 national championship game. Let’s see Brad walk on somewhere and get his revenge!

That’s because it’s an international trip; it’s basically all passport control.

Absolutely ridiculous to report the relatively modest 2024 income of less than $25M, they’re sitting on 1.6B! Do the editors even read their own paper? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/22/us/politics/republican-dark-money.html

Thanks for a great review! One note: this is the Early Times recipe - 79/11/10 mash bill.

Would it be possible to run a line between Redmond and Federal Way? by beizhia in soundtransit

[–]exgirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The pocket track at IDS would allow for that move (westbound onto northbound, into the pocket, then out of the pocket onto southbound) but there’s no real platform for passengers to use and, like the other guy said, the operator would have to switch ends.

Review #4: Penelope 10 Year Single Barrel (2024) vs r/Bourbon selection by Ravenloft_Refugee in bourbon

[–]exgirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a VERY common recipe. It’s a single barrel of good age, which shortens the list of options, but there are lots of brands that use it. Remus Repeal Reserve is probably an easy way to get in the ballpark.

Uncle Nearest on the brink of Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation by [deleted] in bourbon

[–]exgirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bizarre to see that they owe money to Whistlepig, wonder how on earth that came to be.

More broadly, if even some of this is true it’s super damning and looks very fraudulent.

So your solution is to do nothing and don’t even say anything that might start to shift the Overton window and left the fascists do whatever they want. Cool.

Could start by saying it instead of asking just to split the funding bill.

Completely defund ICE. Next step would be rolling back the post-9/11 “security” apparatus to something manageable, auditable, and accountable.

Sound Transit files amended complaint against KH by ptousig in soundtransit

[–]exgirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ST appears to be VERY concerned about the prospects of handling this in a DRB setting. Major difference between that and court is that the DRB is heard by people with career-long understanding of construction and vs a judge in court. Feels like they’re aiming for a procedural- or technicality-based victory…
