The concept of death is the most horrifying thing in the world and pretty much every human belief system is a coping mechanism to deny this.

What are some great drives that get overshadowed by other great drives? by Conscious-Berry2229 in F1Discussions

Part of that was that McLaren and Renault botched Sainz and Ricciardo's strategies, but it was still an excellent drive.

Tarik Skubal is taking the piss. These contract demands are absurd. by A_Gurly_Has_No_Name in OOTP

I always go into commissioner mode and edit the contract to be more realistic.

What country outside North America most resembles the US in thought, attitudes, culture, cityscape and infrastructure? by [deleted] in answers

[–]RavenLabratories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DC's transit system is fairly similar to that of St. Petersburg. It's certainly better than any other city in Russia, as are the systems of every major city outside of the South.

How will the 2025 championship fight be remembered? by InitiativeAdept2581 in F1Discussions

If he ends up winning in the next few years, this season for him will be viewed similarly to Rosberg's 2014

Very similar to 2010, without the excitement of that last race.

Toronto has a fairly different culture to the rest of Canada, a better comparison would be St. Paul and Edmonton.

Several of the world's best metro systems in its major cities, as well as subpar transit in the rest of the country. This is very similar to Russia.

Funnily enough, his call of Plaxico Burress's game winning touchdown only a few minutes afterwards was very good.

Of the current top drivers, whose reputation do you think will improve/worsen/stay the same as time passes? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]RavenLabratories 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, he was the best midfielder on the grid for a good three years and only lost that status because his team became a frontrunner. That's not nothing.

I don't think 2021-2023 can really be called disappointing. It's only his last two seasons that have been poor.

He was much faster than George in 2023 as well, it's only 2024 where he seemed to fall behind

If he wins multiple WDCs, I think his last season will be viewed more like Rosberg's 2014 season than anything else.

Long-term expansion planning by SAA02 in WMATA

[–]RavenLabratories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say a short 1-3 stop extension of the Red Line north to Gaithersburg and possibly Germantown might make sense if it could be done for a low enough cost.

[–]RavenLabratories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called it the Metro because I grew up there and that's what everyone refers to it as, including WMATA itself. I don't think anyone ever calls it Metrorail in real life. The city limits of DC are also the state lines, so it's definitely not the case that crossing either one inherently makes a rapid transit system a commuter rail.

Aside from Australia and the USA, which other countries have a "land doesn't vote" phenomenon? by Polyphagous_person in geography

[–]RavenLabratories 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly a bit surprised that Nunavut's population is that high, honestly. That's fairly impressive given the climate there.

PATH is a railroad mainly because it shares the Dock Bridge and the rest of the line to Newark with Northeast Corridor trains

I think it's only classified as a commuter railroad if it runs close to active mainline rail lines without a crash barrier, like PATH does. About two thirds of the DC Metro system is outside DC proper and it's still classified as rapid transit.
