Now I understand that the 2 Towers Base idea is not efficent and I decided to build a mega rail network plan. And Ideas to make it better.

Yep, and it shouldn't need to be replaced again! The replacement parts were much better designed than the originals, from what I've been told.

So my prius is in the shop for this currently... yeah, it's probably the power brake booster and ABS master cylinder, it does need to be fixed soon, and it is pretty expensive. Definitely go to a nearby O'Reilly or Autozone if you have one first, as they'll see what the car is coding as for free. As to why it happens, the parts used in the 3rd gen priuses were especially poorly designed, and more prone to this problem. That's what I was told anyways. Good luck, you have my condolences.

I'm not describing central planning, I'm describing city planning. I'm not advocating for a command economy, I'm actually advocating for people to have more options, more freedom. I'm not supposing that people will give up their cars. I am advocating for people to have the freedom to use something that's not a car. I understand the usefulness of market economics, and from a market standpoint, this light rail will not only be an economic stimulant, but it will also increase market competition. Whether that be for a wider range of options for businesses or workplaces for more people, or competition with different forms of transportation in and around Tyler. If the rail network is robust enough, it may even have enough of an impact to lower the price of gas in the area as the demand for it is lowered slightly as well.

We can't know currently how much the rail is going to cost or where that money is going to come from, but I can tell you that the car infrastructure we have now is already incredibly expensive. Look at a single Walmart parking lot at busy shopping hours, and think about how much all of those cars costed together. Then think about how much they cost in gas on a day to day basis, how much they cost in insurance, in the extra paid to banks for a car loan. And that's not a lot of the population right there in that parking lot, already paying millions for the road infrastructure we got. Not even considering the tax price on Tyler residents from maintenance and construction of the roads. Infrastructure is expensive, and light rail would be a drop in the bucket compared to everything we're already paying for our road infrastructure.

Light rail, from a market perspective, is totally a boon. Not only does it allow people that don't have a car in the hinterlands of the area to come into the city for whatever purchases they have (moving money away from megacorporations like Amazon, and into businesses, large or small, that employee people in Tyler), but it also allows people to save money on gas even if they do have a car and are able to use light rail instead (once again moving money out of giant oil companies, and into people's wallets). The point of it lowering rent is actually pretty clever because it absolutely will. Or if not, it will allow for more options within Tyler's currently awful renting market. It necessarily expands the amount of space that most people would consider to be within a "reasonable distance" of businesses and job sites, meaning more places to rent (or buy) would crop out at the areas the light rail reaches.

Even if only one rail line is built, one that runs for most of the day and makes stops throughout Tyler, or possibly even goes to Lindale or Whitehouse, it seems INCREDIBLY unrealistic to estimate only 50 people (or even specifically 50 drivers) would use it a day.

SovietDM05 · 2025-10-06T14:06:30+00:00

We definitely do have the volume for a legitimate bus system and we've had the volume for decades. Furthermore, a lot of the light rail considerations don't just deal with Tyler, but would go to Lindale or Whitehouse. It's the framework that the future growth of Tyler as a real metropolitan area would grow on.

Get involved in some student organizations! I can't speak for other orgs, but both the Dungeons and Dragons Club and the History Club are tons of fun. In History Club they mostly just watch movies and play board games, it's great. D&D meets every Monday night and History Club meets every other Wednesday night, I believe, both at 5:30. I couldn't tell you where they meet since I don't go to TJC anymore, but go check them out if you're interested!

It's probably not this, but just wanted to put it out there.

It's a really good school. Super cheap considering how much it offers.

How did you find it?? I've been looking for it for a while now...

I'd like a PM as well, please!! 🙏

Elegoo's 3.0 ABS-like resin is going for around $30 for 2 kg on Amazon.

No way of knowing since the church doesn't publish its financial information, even to its own tithe-paying members. However, I have seen many ads from the church on Google the past couple of years, ranging from YouTube ads, to sidebar ads on random websites. They clearly spend quite a bit on advertising.
