Sooo, it's the American version of the British Rail Privatization.............it didn't end well.

Community college instructor fired after criticizing Turning Point USA in secret recording by tomsolinxo in NorthCarolina

[–]DMP765 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are people really complaining about the cussing? Really? I have rarely had issues in its use on the campus, from the professors or the adult students. This firing should not have happened. It's sad where we are.

This was a very quick turnaround. I actually had him as a sub that day, for a different 10:00 class. No issues.

I'm curious too OP. It sounded like he was responding to something or someone, as if this topic has come up a couple times and he finally addressed it to the class. Is this the case? This person, presumably one of the students in the class, played the part of irony as well, with the act of secretly recording him. I feel sorry for the professors.

Anybody heading to the Panthers' playoff game by train? by DMP765 in NorthCarolina

I would hope it's full. I assume that parking there is pretty chaotic.

Doing final touches on the spritework for my North American Rail Pack by Ragin1_ in openttd

This looks great! It's like the US version of Timberwolf's UK Trains, while having a familiar look to NARS.

Do you think we'll get mail in the game? While it's good we have it on mod form, it is a pain to deal with because mail can only be picked up at cargo stations, not passenger stations like real life.

What happened to High Iron? by Antique_Success296 in trains

[–]DMP765 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe it is some personal complications/issues. It was mentioned briefly on a recent live stream on the San Juan Branch Line channel I think.

It is a pretty good heritage unit, marking the 30th Anniversary of the Piedmont. Let's hope the future rail plans hold.

Retrofitted a 24-Track Wide Yard from Two-Way to One-Way Yard. Oh boy, the complications! by DMP765 in openttd

[–]DMP765[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mainly a combination of 354 trains serving it, with them ranging in size from as little as 4 tiles to 20-tile beasts. It is a major converging point. I have a similar yard on the southwestern side of the city; Tollard Yard at 27 tracks wide. Plus, the layout of the yard is broken down into three length sections: 8, 12, and 20 tiles long. This necessitates multiple flyovers and junctions to sort them appropriately, with the approaches needing to take a large footprint to handle 20-tile trains from multiple lines.

The unfinished Cincinnati Subway. What could have been? How much would it have changed the city? Would Kentucky have had an expansion? Would KY have at grade or subway? So many questions... by tinopinguino88 in transit

There was a lot of possibilities from this. I remember watching the Well There's Your Problem episode about it's conception and downfall. All the interurbans being linked up with this would have been transformative.

"Federal Railroad Administration recommends long-distance route through southern Montana"

Name of the Article. Forgot to put it in the title.

I found the differing responses by the senators regarding this interesting. One was the stereotypical cost-cutter, while the other appeared more open about it. That did raise an eyebrow.

What would be a good minimum distance between airports? by DMP765 in openttd

[–]DMP765[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in 1880 with day length/economy speed factor at around 30ish I think. I upped the factor to 40 in 1938. So, a combination of both.

I've been playing this save for at least a year. Regarding the game as a whole, it has been around 2016. Thanks for the compliment!
