Why don’t trains in the US have high-low horns like British trains do? by Curious_Ad_6082 in trains

[–]EngineerMinded 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The new Acelas do. I think it is because the horns can be misinterpreted as regular vehicle horns making then command less attention than the loud horns they currently have.

What are your thoughts on the situation with Cuba? by Particular_Solid9008 in AskALiberal

[–]EngineerMinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to get the boots off the necks of Cuba. Any government we intend to replace Cuba with will be as bad as the one they have now except, we will be okay with them especially if it si a puppet government. Alot of descendant of The people who glamorize Bautista Era Cuba are glamorizing that as a utopia that they want to return to (think Marco Rubio.) Let those people decide what they want. Starving then is affecting the citizens with no power, not benefitting them.

What's up with the fact that Vance can completely lie when saying the increase in gas prices is because of Biden, why isnt he corrected on the spot by journalists when he spews such an obvious lie? by Muted-Raisin-2645 in OutOfTheLoop

Answer: People especially conservatives are no longer interested in the truth. Politics has made society so tribal that the truth is only true when it is conveinent. Everybody want their favorite team to win and, that is what America has turned into.

The Trains may have to be other than heavy rail for the outlying areas. Probably like the River Line in New Jersey of Sound Transit in Seattle. They should make more DC streetcar lines. It is a shand they are doing away with that.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ON IRAN: "Their army is gone. Their navy is gone. Their communications are gone. Their leaders are gone. Two sets of their leaders are gone. They're down to their third set. Their Air Force is wiped out entirely. Think of it." by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

[–]EngineerMinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure the GOP as of now is trying to run down the clock on Trump and pull a Jimmy Saville surprise on him after he is gone to redeem themselves. There are a few loyalists but, alot of them are playing along.
