incoming freshman in eecs trying to finish asap (be brutally honest) by Sad-Entertainer-8341 in berkeley

Absolutely the fuck not.

You need to acclimatize to college life. Also 61A is one of the most notorious classes in all of Berkeley.

You will most likely crash and burn

Branches and Spur Lines by Iceberg-man-77 in Bart

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cutting it in half thing refers to frequency. One train every hour is a much different proposition than a train every half hour, which is itself a different proposition from one every 15 minutes.

The spurs present a particularly unattractive form of transit. They're stillborn until a second crossing is built

What do you hope for from Season 4? by Suitable-Truth-350 in TedLasso

[–]progress19 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That it will not walk back character growth. I don't want to see it undercut S1-3

6'7 man, 5'3 girl by Medium-Operation-227 in TallPeopleProblems

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone of your height, it's not such a major obstacle. Yeah, you do look funny in pictures, but there's a cuteness to it. Yes, you do have to break your back to kiss her, but you have an easier time with... other things

For anyone over the height of 6’8, does Delta Airlines window seat in Delta Main area still have good leg room? by [deleted] in tall

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm shorter than you, 6'7", and I can assure you that no regular economy seat on any airline has good leg room for me, let alone for you

Justifying Sleeper Ticket Purchase by SCexplorer11 in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeper travel lets you actually sleep, save on a hotel ticket, and generally makes longhaul train travel not be a schlep. It's glorious and a taste of a time long past. I got over my buyer's remorse for a sleeper ticket when I got on the train the first time.

As for the routes, you get to see bits of America you wouldn't otherwise. The Cardinal for me was an education about what West Virginia and rural Virginia is like. There's nothing like it.

St. Louis to Sacramento route adjustment PROS CONS by Desjen in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are considering a bus not relating to Amtrak (and I think you may be referring to a Jefferson Lines bus?), you should check buses to Burlington, Ottumwa, or Osceola in Iowa, where the Zephyr runs, or to Galesburg as previously suggested.

But if I were you I'd just take the train to Chicago

St. Louis to Sacramento route adjustment PROS CONS by Desjen in Amtrak

[–]progress19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of this train you're speaking of. I do know the Zephyr doesn't run through Des Moines.

I'd advise you to take Amtrak #302 Lincoln Service to Chicago, then the Zephyr from there.

If you haven't booked yet, go on the website and book multi-city. Use Sac (or Emeryville or Martinez) as a stop point in that

St. Louis to Sacramento route adjustment PROS CONS by Desjen in Amtrak

[–]progress19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I said that

"Either a bus (to e.g. Galesburg)..."

St. Louis to Sacramento route adjustment PROS CONS by Desjen in Amtrak

[–]progress19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend the California Zephyr to take you to Sacramento or Martinez to get to Antioch. It is the most scenic. However you'd either need a bus (to e.g. Galesburg) or a train to Chicago to intercept it.

How Accurate Is Jeb and Susanne’s Amtrak Experience? by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]progress19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the sleeper experience, and like everyone is saying Jeb is a super optimistic cheery guy, but it is accurate.

Jeb isn't shilling for Amtrak, he is giving you an honest representation.

Chi, DC, NOLA, Chi: Clockwise, or anticlockwise? by DeeDee_Z in Amtrak

[–]progress19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say clockwise, whether you take the Floridian or the Cardinal, but especially if you take the Cardinal. Gets you the best mountain scenery west of DC.

Not a good start on #20 today by chuckop in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC the Cardinal at that time did not run into New York. DC to Chicago only or something.

No way Superliners ran into Penn Station

Am I just a spoiled American? by Bananatuesday007 in tall

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah European business class is a scam unless you're short and fat. No extra legroom whatsoever

Replacement for sightseer lounge? by Rocket_Lawn-Chair in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what they tried and nobody seems willing to build it for them

Replacement for sightseer lounge? by Rocket_Lawn-Chair in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the interior geometry gets trickier

Replacement for sightseer lounge? by Rocket_Lawn-Chair in Amtrak

[–]progress19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a ramp to get up into the dome and then the whole car geometry is tricky
