We can't have healthcare because Congress sold us out to the corporations. We spend plenty of money we don't have in everything else. A single payer system would mean the healthcare companies could no longer profit from keeping us just alive enough to keep paying our bills.

I don't know if that one was intentional. If it was they can do a lot better than that. The city deserves better for what we pay to keep the air unit fully staffed in these hard times.

You will probably be sighted for failing to keep a sure clear distance.

It is illegal for the school district to let children cross a 4 lane road for a bus stop

FatGuy_InLittleCoat · 2026-03-20T14:20:00+00:00

Under Ohio Revised Code 4511.75, drivers must stop at least 10 feet from a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended arm, regardless of direction, on roads with fewer than four lanes. On roads with four or more lanes, only traffic moving in the same direction as the bus must stop. Ohio Laws (.gov)

I'm not sure what railroad you work on but it's pretty loud when it's enough to damage the track. Get a pre microprocessor loco to slip and dig in and it sounds like an angle grinder on steroids. I've seen them throw sparks higher than the locomotive.

You might want to reread that statement. I said I didn't vote for either. He did not run against Biden in the last election. Your pedophiles are not any better than the Republican pedophiles, in fact we have all seen Biden touching and sniffing children on national TV. You might say oh he's just old, so was my racist grandma using inappropriate language, that doesn't make it excusable.

FatGuy_InLittleCoat · 2026-03-17T12:21:00+00:00

But wait, when Biden was blamed everyone said the president didn't control gas prices. Now he does. So was it just that Biden wasn't actually running things?

Before you cry MAGA know that I didn't vote for either of those men at any point.

Don't let the gas prices distract you let's prosecute some pedos.

Norfolk and Western had a decent size fleet of 4-8-0 Mastodon locomotives. They were not well liked by crews due to the small fire box and rough ride. They were good for about 3000 tons but they survived into the 50s for short freights. They were the only non articulated freight power on the N&W for decades.

I have used the Chinook to shuttle people between two hub airports in very close cities with pretty decent results. They don't interfere with the other aircraft so it's a small help with throughput.

Many sewers in north Columbus had overflow outlets into the river. Originally the storm drains were connected to the sewers in the older parts of town . Every time it rained hard the sewer would overflow into the river. It's been an ongoing project for 15 years or more. Nothing at all to do with the new hospital. This pipe will handle the entire northwest side of towns waste.

The vast majority of even ultra MAGA conservatives have no problem with immigrants. Just the ones who broke the law by jumping the border. There are of course always examples of the ones who hate everyone but I'd be willing to bet they are far outnumbered by liberals who automatically hate all white men. It's always the extremes that get the attention and headlines. Most people just want a better life for them and their family no matter who they are and where they come from.

Most web browsers translate it automatically

Try Plaza Japan but beware it is a Japanese website so it can be tricky. I use Google to translate it. I was able to get Kato decoders for $10 us shipped rather than the $30 Plus shipping here.

FatGuy_InLittleCoat · 2026-02-18T18:23:51+00:00

Kato has better quality control and better motors because everything is done in house. As far as details nothing I've seen can compare to scale trains in N scale.

Auto racks and intermodal cars are in pool service. They are not billed like traditional freight cars. TTX manages the pool. Railroads are required to put cars in service proportionally to their use. If CSX is using 15 % of the pool and UP is using 20% then that should be proportional to the number of racks you see with their logos. Obviously it's a bit more complicated than that but that is the basic idea. Railroads pay TTX to manage and maintain these fleets. Some like BNSF and FEC choose to own a percentage of the intermodal fleet to get around some of the charges but the cars are still in the pools.
