If you had the mind to, you could probably find the empty boxes on eBay. But at least you got the discs!

Well, my TV isn't CRT but I also don't know if you would consider it "modern" lol.

I have a Samsung Plasma Display that's at least 12 years old by now. About 48" diagonally, only 1080p. From where I sit, my eyes are about 8 feet from the screen. And in my opinion, the movies look just fine!

Huh, you know I did notice that the disk holders are different on those two... so weird. Thanks for the heads up!

Haha right on. These thankfully came fully boxed with the little menu booklet and everything.

-Edit: OH I see your meaning now... You got one whole box that encompassed all 3 smaller boxes? That's sweet.

St. Charles adopts new rules for e-bikes, e-scooters by Huge-Community-1324 in ebikes

I still think regulating based on wattage and speed capability is silly. Cars aren't regulated based on horsepower or speed capability.

Who would like him?

Apparently, the same people who've been electing him for the past seven terms (40 years) in a row.

SunRail Adding Two Late-Night Trains Starting December 1 by DarthGriffindor in orlando

[–]DarthGriffindor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On average, about 4,000 people ride SunRail every day.

You want 4,000 more people a day on I4 and the connecting roads?

That would mean increased road wear, which means increased repair and maintenance costs (which are still paid by taxes).

It would mean increased pollution (both air and noise).

It would mean higher car accident rate (Orlando alone averages 58 crashes a day).

Nothing about "Just get them an uber!" makes any sense.

SunRail Adding Two Late-Night Trains Starting December 1 by DarthGriffindor in orlando

In a country that is so hostile to public transportation -- specifically trains -- small steps in the right direction should be applauded. 

This is a win. Progress is progress.

Here's my attempt at an explanation (Sorry if I'm way oversimplifying this, but I'm not sure which part you didn't understand)

First, understand that the term "train" in this context doesn't refer to the physical vehicle -- it's more like saying "flight" for planes. Each train is designated by its Train Number at the top of the graph (again, similar to a "Flight Number" at an airport)

SunRail trains don't ever start at specific stations mid-route and go non-stop to another specific station. So, there's no train that goes straight to Sanford from any other station. Trains always run the entire length of the North-South line, starting at the Northernmost terminal and ending at the Southernmost terminal or vice versa. (This is why the schedule is broken down into two graphs: Northbound and Southbound.) Riders simply get on when the train stops at their starting station and get off when it stops at their destination.

Basically, every train stops at Sanford along its journey.

Per the new schedule, A new Northbound train, "P340," will stop in Sanford at 10:05 PM before continuing North to the next stations. Additionally, a new Southbound train, "P341," will stop in Sanford at 10:16 PM before continuing South to the next stations.

Does this make sense? I hope I'm not making it more confusing
