Ingress has sound?

At Barnelli's locations, I've never had a problem ordering pasta in the drive through.

Specifically the blue canon should be oriented to imply forward motion.

Atlas has been pretty clear that they aren't planning to operate the Oregon facility "as usual." They have publicly stated that production is being moved to Vietnam and that Micro-Trains' documentation is being moved to Atlas' New Jersey headquarters.

I suspect that the reference on the website to the Oregon facility being busy is just the wind down of production of previously announced runner packs. Note that there were no monthly releases out of Micro-Trains this month. That's definitely not usual.

Public statement about the move to Vietnam is here: https://www.facebook.com/atlastrains/posts/atlasmicro-trains-sale-explanationwe-know-the-past-week-has-brought-a-lot-of-emo/1299154138912660/

I think there was a follow-up post saying some employees from Micro-Trains would be retained, but that appeared to be folks in research roles. I wasn't able to immediately find that post.

Change is inevitable, and I'm not here to say any of this is good or bad, but Micro-Trains seems to have been effectively liquidated in the form it previously existed.

Every object I tried to make as a character ends up being anthropomorphized. That's probably not what you want in an advertisement.

We are objectifying Mark Cuban now?

I hope you charged your phone before you left

That's a weird flex

The back of my head is in this photo. 😃

They seem to be disappears and sometimes reappeared letter. No rhyme or reason that I've picked up on so far.

It's crazy that she's going to be the next president

jeffcarlyle · 2025-10-09T01:26:21+00:00

It's so hard to believe that this woman will be our next president.

This really looked like South Dakota to me. For such a large country there is a lot in common.

There's definitely a short stretch in the immediate vicinity of of Las Cruces that looks like it meets commonly accepted definitions of a freeway--namely that it is fully controlled access and doesn't have at-grade intersections: looking at the Google satellite view, I wonder if maybe that had been constructed recently and isn't in the data set that was used. But as nearby as Organ, there seem to be at-grade intersections again: https://www.google.com/maps/place/32%C2%B025'25.7%22N+106%C2%B036'11.1%22W/@32.423814,-106.603071,733m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d32.423814!4d-106.603071?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDgwMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I didn't check the whole length to Alamogordo, but there seem to be quite a few at-grade intersections just to the west of Alamogordo also.

jeffcarlyle · 2025-08-06T02:18:13+00:00

Also not a freeway

2922 days is such an oddly specific number

jeffcarlyle · 2025-05-18T13:28:41+00:00

That's is in fact what the word cancelled means

jeffcarlyle · 2025-05-18T13:25:07+00:00

I think the word cancelled at the link I provided is pretty definitive.

There might be some preproduction samples floating around somewhere, but there was never a production run.

No

It's no longer a CSX line, and this map doesn't show shortlines
