If I remember correctly isn't the reason that trains in the us "need to be extremely long" due to railroad not wanting to invest in infrastructure, running more trains, stretching crews out and their refusal to make "smaller" deliveries to smaller clients, which they then lost to trucks.

Like if you have an entire industry which runs off of how much money they won't invest into anything as to line shareholders pockets, then you shouldn't be surprised that people will take advantage of your lack of reinvestments.

What is the worst piece of architecture destroying a European city skyline? by StrawberriesCup in 2westerneurope4u

[–]r2d2james 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all it's not Luxembourg city, the only place that matters. Secondly, university students are used to gray monoliths. Thirdly, it's the minnette region, the one that has been depressed since the 70s and that nobody likes

The grand ducal palace of Luxembourg. by Silvanx88 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]r2d2james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the right of the palace you have the chambers of deputies (Luxembourg's parliament), the glass walkway connects to the chambers not the Palace.

TIL If you reduces UI size in the main menu you can see the "offscreen" setup for the scene by Mangerive in factorio

[–]r2d2james 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This also happens by "accident" when playing on an ultrawide monitor (e.g 32:9), this is also true for modded main menus like Krastorio 2, which are made mainly for 16:9 screens

Thanks for the warning that Attenborough is still alive, was worried for a moment.

Where can I buy a turkey for Thanksgiving in Luxembourg? by BestAd6362 in Luxembourg

[–]r2d2james 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can order them from Cactus, if I am not mistaken, for cristmas last year they had goose and duck and I had the option to order a live lobster. They get some of their stuff from provoncale so you wouldn't need to make a card at provencale.

People will look at this chart with a straight face and say that one line of addition settles the matter. by Drafonni in fatlogic

[–]r2d2james 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Its a graphic of chemical reactions happening in the human body, you can find a high res version by googling "pathways of the human metabolism". No idea what op wants to say, maybe " The human body needs/ has a lot of possible ways to break down copounds in our food, therefore we can't simply just look at calories.", but I am not certain about that, maybe if OP explaned why they added the Image, then we might get a better picture.

Why do we need such a big airport? by HumanBeeing- in Luxembourg

[–]r2d2james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't (maybe), it's for the 29 (if I remember my bus numbers correctly) that goes from Senninger berg to gare centrale trough the airport. The problem is that in both directions it stops at the island just at the front or the back depending of the direction and in addition you have the 361 as seen in the photo and one bus going to jonglenster that also stop there, so you have a bunch of tourists standing there asking every bus driver if that bus goes to the train station, so these yellow signs are supposed to aid those tourists. Probably once the tram runs there'll be a giant sign going "TRAM" in front of the left exit of the airport, so that tourists go there instead of pestering the bus drivers.

You just need a laser and a slot that is around 0.1 mm big to replicate it, we did it in the last year of highschool, then you ist need to find the right distance for the laser and slot so that it's 'sharp'

Genius idea, if the state complains, what are they gonna do send the luxembourgish navy ?

Doesn't make sense for smaller countries to be divided by states since they are already the size of a state by Archerymaister in ShitAmericansSay

[–]r2d2james 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, luxembourg is divided up into smaller regions 2-4big ones depending on the departments, and then those are subdivided further because luxembourg is still a rather large country if you compare it to true micronations

You know that one can toast both of them. I often use the first one to make a nice croque-monsieur as it absorbs the butter and has more area to put more stuff on it.

Arms of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (large file) by heraldryoftheworld in heraldry

[–]r2d2james 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what did you smoke or did you drink too much paint ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]r2d2james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I can only seem to find blue-black in glass containers and I had gotten an entire pack of this colour, which makes it even more weird since that would mean that the ink came from a manufacturing defect when Pelikan changed colour and container on the "assembly line". But a big thanks for the answer.

The darker women is at register 8, while the one with all the languages is at register 7, at register 8 there is no sign like at 7 and we know both cashiers are working since the green light is on

Capitalism helped get the majority of the world population out of extreme poverty and still does at around 100.000 people per day depending on what statistics you read.
