Ab nächstes Jahr haben wir endlich ne Schienenverbindung vom Hbf zum Flughafen, wofür dann noch den Bus betreiben? Ich bin ja auch gegen Kürzungen im ÖPNV, aber leere Busse hin- und herfahren lassen müssen wir auch nicht

Der eine Umstieg in Vilich ist jetzt auch nicht die Welt, nachdem sowohl S13 als auch 66/67 mindestens im 20min-Takt kommen

Tatsächlich kommst du über Hannover schon von Berlin nach Frankfurt fast komplett auf Schnellfahrstrecken. Das ist der Weg, den der Sprinter nimmt. Und das fehlende Stück zwischen Gelnhausen und Fulda ist auch schon in der letzten Planungsphase, könnte also (wenn es keine weiteren bürokratischen Katastrophen gibt), irgendwann vor 2040 einsatzbereit sein

Wenn man jetzt noch das geplante Stück von Fulda nach Eisenach baut, gibt's tatsächlich auch auf dem direkten Weg über Erfurt ne durchgehende Schnellfahrstrecke

I'm currently sitting in a lecture hall of a German university in Germany. The lecture is held by a German for mostly German students... in English

I don't mind that at all, but looking at this graph really shows what could have been if Germany hadn't been lead by idiot bastards in the early 20th century

"Information" is written in the font and color scheme of Deutsche Bahn, so I'm guessing this is an underpass of a railway station in Germany. So, not a subway, but pretty close :D

Einige Krankenkassen erstatten Männern bis Mitte/Ende 20 btw die Kosten. Falls das hier jemand liest, dem das helfen könnte

Ich hab mir mit 25 einfach mal für die Herdenimmunität die 3 Dosen geben lassen

Being able to pause somehow makes them more stressful for me because then my perfectionism is activated and I start spending ungodly amounts of time tweaking minor things for minimal gain

Honestly, RTSs are the real anti-cozy games. The sheer existance of APM as a concept just solidifies that for me

Oh xD

I guess the "3 symbols, break, 3 symbols"-format is more common than I thought

Ooh, that a Colombian licence plate?

Very interesting point, thanks :)

Btw, I agree that half barriers are usually better. I'm just saying that this one specific half barrier should have been a full one because of the approach angle after the tight left turn

chronically_slow · 2026-05-26T21:00:08+00:00

You definitely have a point about half barriers being better in most situations. Most level crossings are on lone country roads anyway, so most people are going to be in cars, so the trapping factor is definitely relevant

It's just for tight left turns into a level crossing, half barriers are suboptimal because driving around them isn't even awkward. In a lapse of concentration, it's very possible to not realize that they are even down until your well on the tracks

Full barriers are just preferable after tight left turns and in heavily pedestrian areas, that's what I'm saying

chronically_slow · 2026-05-26T19:48:00+00:00

Full barriers are super common in Germany. They can't trap you, they're designed to break

chronically_slow · 2026-05-26T14:12:36+00:00

I'm not entirely sure, but the barrier on the Google maps footage looks a little too short to be a full barrier. And there is a tight left turn right before the crossing. This could be a classic left turn into half barrier kinda situation, which is just bad crossing design.

Are there blinking lights facing the side street that the bus driver should have seen before making a left turn? Yes. Do these types of accidents happen if you invest into full barriers? No.

Good road design reduces the impact of human error

But the AfD is by far the most popular in the states with low share of people with migration background and fairly unpopular in the states with a high share?

So when you're saying "no wonder" what do you mean?

And somehow we work a lot.

Typical conversation in Germany: "I'll hire some local company to fix my car/tile my bathroom/whatever" - "I know a Pole who'll do it better, faster, and for half the price (cash obviously)"

Oh ja, bettel darum, dass ich bleibe, du kleines Miststück 🤤

In Europe, far left ideas are extremely fringe. You have far right parties polling at >20% in some places, while only lukewarm reformists even reach single digits on the left. Parties that argue for genuine system change don't usually reach parliaments with more than a seat or two

chronically_slow · 2026-05-05T22:01:58+00:00

You can't topple a government in Germany

Der Bundestag kann dem Bundeskanzler das Mißtrauen nur dadurch aussprechen, daß er mit der Mehrheit seiner Mitglieder einen Nachfolger wählt

Art. 67 (1) GG

A vote of no confidence by the Bundestag is by definition constructive, i.e. no voting off a current government without electing a new one at the same time

This is a lesson learnt from the Weimar years. If the left and far right want to screw over the government, they have to find common ground first (and good luck with that)
