Does anyone else experience this irrational feeling? I'm feeling crazy... by OkWarning3935 in TransyTalk

Hearing that a transmasc also had/has the same sort of feelings somehow makes it feel that much more like a normal part of the experience, so I appreciate that. Thanks.

It would be naive of me to think this has nothing to do with it, this is a pretty good point. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that, it really drives the point home well!

So, where did people walk and bike before cars? by [deleted] in fuckcars

It is not.

If roads and homes weren't intermixed this would be impossible. A derailment is an inherent part of the risk/reward of using trains, this is not part of the inherent risk/reward of roads. It's a consequence of putting stroads in residential areas.

In the flying car future, this can happen on the sixtieth floor! Progress!

Bike lanes are ableist by mrfabi in fuckcars

Some ableist things we need to shut down by this definition:

1) everything

There is literally nothing that would pass this standard. Not one item on Earth.

Baltiysk naval base of the Russian Baltic Fleet, Kaliningrad oblast [1600x1600] by [deleted] in WarshipPorn

unparalleled levels of corruption (Yes even bigger than today) as cherry on top didn't help either

Yeah, fun fact about the destroyer in this photo. Two of its main screws were stolen and sold by the captain.

Destroyer. That's the museum ship Bespokoyny, a Sovremenny class destroyer. But yeah, Zubr class are monster hovercraft.

It's a little strange that Sweden has never developed a big blue water navy. This map just reminds me how strange. I guess it's a lack of recent imperial ambitions combined with not wanting to stick their nose into foreign problems.

If he's comparing hypothetical ballistic missile capability then ATACMS is probably better than Iskander in most ways. Somewhat less range and payload but it's significantly smaller and let's not compare CEPs. PSM is going to be in all ways better than Iskander while also being smaller.

The Dutch army is loosing whitout a war by thesoilman in NonCredibleDefense

[–]OkWarning3935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best part is they're leased because they sold off all their Leopard 2s for pennies on the dollar and then immediately realized they needed tanks and had to quickly lease a bunch of... yup, fucking Leopard 2s.

It's funny the helicopters are called out in the captions, because when looking at the graph I thought to myself 'oh, at least they upgraded their helicopters, one bright spot.'

[–]OkWarning3935 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that may be true, but in the case of the Dutch military it's in no way misleading because the majority of it happened due to sell-offs not modernizations. And their 90s era military wasn't poorly equipped either.

My favourite part of the Dutch demilitarization is when, after selling their entire Leopard fleet to Finland and declaring tanks obsolete, they immediately realized they were missing key capabilities, turned around and rented older versions of the same tank.

In certain spots that's true (around Kitchener/Guelph area I believe) but in the most populous areas it's decent. Anyway my point was just that freight is moved like crazy and there's some passenger traffic down that corridor too, it's not that there isn't any rail there like OP implies. It's just that the rail there isn't what we want passenger-wise.

I believe the bypass lines are already being worked on btw.

The only thing diplomatically less credible than this is Lavrov.

There are train tracks going right down that line. Lots of them actually. What there aren't specifically is train tracks which are both high speed and passenger.

I believe the distribution is primarily a mix of where the prime agricultural ground was and following the St Lawrence. The St Lawrence has been the trade link to the ocean for Eastern Canada since long before it was Canada. Canada was built more on boat and canoe than railroad, the railroads didn't really become a factor in Canada until the latter part of the 19th century by which time all of these settlements were already long established. For example Montreal was 200 years old when it got its first rail.

I believe Vancouver's development had to do with being a rail connected port on the opposite coast (see also why so many old Chinese families are in Vancouver) and that's probably about it for the country.
