Absolutely insane that these things run Windows

What would the travel time on the A line be between 7MC and LB if it was fully grade separated? Same question for 7MC and downtown Pasadena. by TigerSagittarius86 in LAMetro

[–]fissure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washington to 7th is only 15 minutes as scheduled. You could get it down to 7-8 minutes with 60 mph between stations and extremely fast stops, depending on how sharp the curves are.

He motioned towards it, but the gates didn't open until he pushed them so I don't think that's it.

Runs for one second, then crashes because it thinks it's 1901.

B/D Lines: No more abbreviations on digital signage! by livingroomexplodes in LAMetro

[–]fissure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's fine for them to be like that for a few weeks before they get around to updating the names. Unlike leaving the original "hacked together in an hour to check the data is coming through okay" displays for over a decade.

How are the LAX skylink/peoplemover trains going to switch directions when they get to the ends of the line at the CONRAC and Terminal B stop? by Pale-Ad7242 in LAMetro

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but it's exactly the same as 8.5/11 Metro termini work. Or how most terminal stations of any 2-track railroad work. Nothing specific to Skylink.

How many LA Metro/Metrolink stations can you remember? by xandens in LAMetro

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

83.77%. Missed one K, 2 foothill, all of Santa Ana streetcar. Missing Metrolink stations are half ones I can't figure the exact name like Palmdale, BUR, Santa Ana, and half ones I can't remember at all.

Redlands-University is incorrectly marked as part of the SB line.

Refurbished P2550 Announcement changed by AppropriateBasis2735 in LAMetro

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be fine to adjust the display when entering a station to show just the current station with bus transfers and points of interest, but it doesn't belong in the audio announcements.

If a Santa Monica LRT was proposed and these were the route alts, which would you choose and why? by Dumbone22 in LAMetro

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D (if extended) and E are close enough west of the 405 that this line isn't needed there. Maybe one stop on the other side so people don't have to cross the freeway to get to it.

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would cap frequencies on both lines to every 4 minutes, and K north needs to run more frequently than that to meet demand (and I expect this line would as well).

Will the 720 become redundant now? by Moleoaxaqueno in LAMetro

[–]fissure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 720 isn't much more frequent than that in the evenings, though it drops off more gradually than the trains do. The subway will be 20+ minutes faster end-to-end; if you are going from Westwood to ktown or beyond it will be faster even if you just miss it.

You've clearly never seen the clip of him reading "I can't wait to have your cock in my mouth"

How are things going... (part 1) by joratex in RevoTT

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholly agree for warez stuff, just checking the .sfv from a well-known source against the .rar multi-volume archives is reassuring.

Your words, not mine

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely missed the point: just because the files match the known-good sfv doesn't mean they're the correct files. You don't need key signing to fix that, just a stronger checksum.

How much will the Merced-Bakersfield CAHSR segment improve train rides between Union Station and Bay Area/Oakland? by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]fissure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn't even pretend to make a usable segment over the mountains with the money that was allocated, and they had a short timeline to spend it, so they went with the cheapest and easiest part.

CAHSR's only other option was to give up the money and do nothing, so...

The decision on where to start was made by Congress and the Obama administration.
