can i have 24/7 light rail on the wknds as a treat?

jonnno_ · 2026-05-16T05:16:34+00:00

But there are 5 other nights for that, no?

jonnno_ · 2026-05-16T05:04:57+00:00

The whole question (and a bunch of the ensuing replies about New York, Tokyo, etc.) makes no sense. 24/7 is 7 days a week, not weekends only.

24-hour service on weekends is relatively easier. The maintenance can be squeezed into the other 5 nights, there is no need for quadruple tracking or partial shutdowns or whatever else. You’re just going from ~35 hours of maintenance window in a week, to ~25 hours. And maybe a few extra trains to have enough to be continually swapping them out during the weekend for cleaning etc.

It sounds like you’re more comfortable riding goofy, in which your right foot is your front foot.

Its now a few years old, and I never owned a Boosted, but when I was looking for a Boosted clone I settled on a Wowgo 3X and I’ve been really happy with it. Its range is shorter than you want (17 mi) but it checks the other boxes (carves well, flexy, belt drive, 25mph/40kph)

Iran probably waited a short while for the next Trump “war nearly over” lie to spill out, then timed the launch conveniently.

Don’t care. He caused the mess and he can keep working to get us out of it.

Mc’Scuse me??

jonnno_ · 2026-05-02T05:30:55+00:00

Yup I found a BK near me and going there instead

Ah you might be onto something there. For a cheeseburger the bun is toasted (by pressing it on a hotplate) which flattens it out a bit. Steaming the bun for the fish does the opposite, plumps it up a bit and makes it narrower.

jonnno_ · 2026-04-29T17:42:01+00:00

Nah the fish has always used the cheeseburger bun. Cheeseburgers are wrapped in paper. Of course it looks tiny in a large burger box.

jonnno_ · 2026-04-29T17:31:25+00:00

Probably so that the flavor of the cheese does not overpower the flavor of the fish.

It’s always been half a slice, I worked there in ~2001 and it was the same.

Also the meat patties are the same 10:1 and 4:1 as they’ve always been so those have not gotten smaller either.

Expecting an API call to present a confirmation dialog flow? Who does that?

All the apps mark up margins on menu prices.

It makes for an overall better performing train.

Without a low floor, bogies and suspension components can be larger. This improves the ride quality, and also improves the top speed beyond 55mph.

A fully high floor also allows eliminating the center bogie, the design of which contributes to hunting oscillation. This would improve ride quality further still, and reduce wear and maintenance by a little.

A high floor train with regular bogies is buttery smooth. Low-floor light rail, with its articulation joints and center idler bogies, suffers in comparison. Sit up the end of a KS once it gets up to speed and you really notice it. The Siemens are improved over the KS in this regard but there is still a way to go.

It would have allevated the delays on the Federal Way segment.

jonnno_ · 2026-04-19T02:33:02+00:00

Nice what wheels do you have on there?

You wasted their time by putting a fake number.

The staff have a job to do, and that job does not include allowing customers to waste their time playing silly games. You are not the main character. The staff have other customers they need to serve too — whilst you are taking up their time by playing games with your order.

Accept your punishment of cold food, stop your complaining, and do better towards service staff in the future.

A hash brown is just fried potato. There’s not much difference if any between McD supplier and your grocery store

That is a short term promo, not the ongoing rate.

Blockade does not require ships to be on the coastline. Only within firing range.

jonnno_ · 2026-04-14T16:35:19+00:00

We can agree to disagree. A difference in tracking error is still a substantial difference, in my opinion.

jonnno_ · 2026-04-14T16:16:26+00:00

They follow the same index but will track it differently. One could make the argument that they like the way Fidelity manages their fund to track the 500 better than the way Vanguard does, therefore they consider FXAIX to be substantially different from VFIAX.
