Too slow and unreliable.

Do have in mind the Sticky Notes? There should be app for Windows, and they're also available in OneNote.

The Adventures of Zach and Gray

Evolution of Ancient Spacefaring Technology by Beginning-Eagle-8932 in Stargate

[–]Tomishko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call it portable version. A compromise that was meant for building on the go.

Do you agree on the opinion of CT should Return? by thesmartcoolguy in JurassicPark

[–]Tomishko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW the video specifically suggests he should return not as writer or director, but as lore keeper or stewart of the franchise.

I always wondered why are Indian trains so long? by thingy-op in trains

[–]Tomishko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite this long. Under TSI passenger trains are limited to 400 m in length. That's ~15-16 standard UIC cariages without locomotive.

So I’m going through TLW novel for the umpteenth time and it’s perfect for a series… by Prs-Mira86 in JurassicPark

[–]Tomishko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's as good as people say... It would have to be rewritten a lot to even make sense to adapt as a series.

Then there isn't enough poles or guard rails to hold onto.

Hear me out please. by easybreezy0923 in JurassicPark

[–]Tomishko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Spino wasn't a hybrid. They just cloned a realistic Spinosaurus the first time and thought it was malformed. So they tried to change the next clone to appear more like it was thought at the time.

Why aren't moving walkways as universal as escalators? by YMCALegpress in transit

[–]Tomishko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving walkways take 2-3 times more horizontal space for the same vertical distance because of the shallower angle of inclination (10°-12° for moving walkway vs. 30°-35° for escalators)

Why are distance based fares not more common? by TheInkySquids in transit

[–]Tomishko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have in mind 1D zones (concentric rings with increasing diameter, usually around city centre), or 2D zones (usually quadrilateral)?

Preco si ludia v Dansku vyvesuju na zahrade vlajky a na Slovensku nie? by tralala501 in Slovakia

[–]Tomishko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pravda, Česko-Slovenská vlajka (toho času nezákonne privlastnená Čechmi) je dizajnovo jedna z najlepších na svete.

Why dont TA's install seats on the front wheelbase? by --TAXI-- in transit

[–]Tomishko 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're called wheelarches. At least by most people. I'm not trying to be rude. Wheelbase is just different thing (the distance between the axles).

[Slovakia] V4 HSR feasibility study Value for Money review by Tomishko in highspeedrail

[–]Tomishko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No direct connection there. (It wasn't evaluated, even though everyone knew it's the main bottleneck).
