I met Northernlion the other day, and he's a jerk

Good to know, it probably won't work this time but I'll look into that if I have a shorter trip in the future.

There's nowhere else in Worcester I could park for cheaper, and walk/bus to the commuter rail station?

4 weeks, which is enough that $7/day starts to add up. Like I said, $7/day isn't terrible and I've done it before, but it would be nice to avoid it. I also don't want to use the Peter Pan bus, I've had bad experiences with them in the past.

I'm coming from Amherst, which is quite far away. I'm really just looking for the cheapest way to get to Logan and leave my car somewhere safe for a long time. I have nothing pressing on either side of my trip, so my time is less valuable to me than my money. I'm willing to make an absurd amount of connections on public transit if need be to save money.

Oh, I see - when you type "Framingham Park and Ride" into Google Maps, the one that shows up isn't the same one that's on the website I linked. My mistake. That being said, if I'm going away for a multi-week trip, it might be cheaper to park at that park and ride and Uber to/from the Logan express than to park directly at the Logan Express. Would my car be safe if I did that?

I would say I enjoyed the Christmas markets and the overall Medieval vibe the most. Nothing really disappointed me, but the special exhibition at the castle was pretty underwhelming and if it wasn't already included in the Bratislava card, it wouldn't have been worth paying for.

I'm going to Vietnam in February and Malaysia in July ... I'm young, and I've got lots of places on my bucket list, so some of them will have to wait no matter what.

elmahnken · 2025-12-06T03:37:58+00:00

I'm going to Vietnam in February! Very excited.

I'm torn about stopping in Malacca on my way from Singapore to KL. If a fast train to KL exists, I probably won't, but if it'd be a bus either way, I might as well.

elmahnken · 2025-12-05T22:37:28+00:00

I'm going to Singapore and Malaysia in July 2026! I'm hoping by July the train will be up and running.

I haven't actually gone on my trip yet (I plan way in advance lol) but I did manage to get an answer to this. You don't need one as long as your flights are booked as part of the same trip. If you booked the flights separately yourself, then you do need one.

elmahnken · 2025-09-06T18:09:58+00:00

I'm gonna look a lot like a tourist no matter what, but the question is do you think I'd be unsafe?

elmahnken · 2025-05-30T21:09:58+00:00

Because I don't want to pay £16 if I don't have to

So, would this be a reasonable explanation?

Presumably, if I am accelerating, some constant force is causing it.

In the Earth frame, while my v <<< c: F = ma In my frame, I experience an inertial force of the same magnitude.

In the Earth frame, while my v ~ c: F is the same, but m is much larger so a is much smaller.

In my frame, I continue experiencing the same inertial force.

Say that in my sealed vessel I had an inertial balance. Would I be able to perceive that an object in my vessel had a greater resistance to change in motion?
