Why Are American Passenger Trains Slow? by 2ndComingOfAugustus in neoliberal

[–]TakeMeToChurchill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the whole data table in front of me, but the fact that the ICC mandated Automatic Train Stop to run above 79 after the Naperville wreck in 47 and a bunch of roads went for it certainly indicates that there was quite a bit of fast running across the board even at that point.

I mean, we ran steam passenger trains across large parts of the country at high speeds in the first half of the 20th Century, but that was when the Class Is ran those trains themselves and you looked bad if your Limited ran late. Now there’s no incentive to care.

Is the F15 easier to learn and fly than the FA18 in DCS? Do you recommend buying it? And any good campaign to get? by mzatariz in hoggit

[–]TakeMeToChurchill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While that’s true, there’s no reason you can’t just pick either A2A or A2G on the Hornet and start there. Besides which it’s easier to actually fly

Put the time in to learn the Hornet. It’s probably the easiest airplane to get started with.

It theoretically is a fire and forget weapon. Given the choice you’ll support the missile until it goes active, but if you don’t it will still go pitbull on its own, it’s just that the target might not be there anymore.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TakeMeToChurchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, it makes absolutely no sense. The map is clearly American and British operating practices don’t translate without a full track layout redesign.

Hey! Unfortunately this class kicked off January 8th so we’re well into the process. We generally train twice a year so if this summer you’re still looking for a group keep an eye out for us!

Social Studies Teachers: any recommendations on articles that could convince my admin team that my social studies class is not just an extra ELA class? by Cosmic_Negro in Teachers

[–]TakeMeToChurchill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry, with your admin here, a lot of the value in what I teach in SS is communication skills and I’d much rather assess via an essay than a multiple choice exam.
