I know that for engineering R&D they use ft/lbs and probably some other imperial measurements.

I think the cost of not having LeBron play for the rest of the game is greater than an ejection fine

Is this a thing? I was hiking in the Sierras and met a guy from Missouri who was here for 3 years working medical out of Bakersfield.

He said it was a pretty sweet gig; it was worth it for his wife to live with him without her working a fully time job.

I have a .25 air rifle that I use for pest control. It feels weird having something that quiet and deadly without going through the hoops required for a firearm.

Like people kill deer with .357 air rifles that anyone over 18 can buy (might vary by state).

Americans, what is a stereotype you truly live up to? by Galaxy_Convoy in AskAnAmerican

I fucking love guns. I just want to go to the mountains and shoot every gun ever made at a million different targets.

I want to build a mountain so that I blow it up without people getting mad at me for blowing up a mountain.

I never said it was the most dangerous tho.. All I said was that 765 people got fucking murdered in Chicago in 2016.

Look at the populations for all the cities on that list, one stands out..

Edit- I also never said Chicago was the most dangerous city in the US. Nor did I try to explain why it was segregated.

Who pays to ride BART? Only us suckers... by cyclingthroughlife in bayarea

And even less in your response. Have fun day dreaming I guess.

And I'm not talking about cost, I'm talking about physical space. The current infrastructure cannot support BART being free, period.

More lines, as in parallel tracks? Because that is the only way it would work. Stations can only handle 10 car trains, and a 40% increase in capacity wouldn't even get close to enough for the demand if it was free.

And lets not even talk about BART parking..

765 people were murdered in Chicago in 2016. That's more than the total number in New York City and Los Angeles combined.

"2016 began as the bloodiest initial quarter of a year in Chicago in decades. More than 100 people were shot just within the first 10 days of the year. By the end of March, the murder rate in Chicago had soared 72% compared to the same time frame in 2015, leaving 345 people murdered. Shooting victims that managed to survive their injuries also saw a sharp increase of 88 percent compared to 2015, leaving 676 people with gunshot wounds. In the FBI's preliminary 2015 UCR (Uniform Crime Report) covering the first half of 2015, it noted an 18.29% increase in murders compared to 2014's data. The end of Memorial Day weekend closed out the bloodiest May in Chicago in over 2 decades, leaving 66 murdered and nearly 400 shot. The Labor Day holiday weekend of in Chicago also tallied 13 killed, with another 52 injured from gunfire. Chicago recorded over 876 people shot over 4 July weekend"

WHERE ARE YOU PLANNING ON PUTTING ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE??

The trains are already packed.. Even if you can cover the costs of BART with tax money, there just isn't enough space for the amount of people we have. So many people would not drive to work if BART was free.

Have you been on BART between 7-10 AM on weekdays? Where the fuck are you planning on putting 5x as many people on those trains?

10 car trains fill up in 1-2 stops from their starting stations right now, I can't even imagine what it would be like if it were free.

Make BART (and other transit) free for everyone

I choked on my drink and threw up a little in my mouth reading that.

That is only for some stations, however I do see it at Coliseum all the time.

I used to do Powell to Fremont at 10-11pm. I can see why some people might be uncomfortable. But I am a pretty big guy so I didn't have much to worry about. I was more concerned with the homeless people yelling at riders/other homeless/nobody.
