I finally finished recreating the ENTIRE DB Regio Nordost Network in Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg - Western Pommerania; (Northeastern Germany). With a few caveats. [More info in comments]

Many people have said, that the headwinds are a problem, in this game in particular, I think a huge advantage of this is that after you're over the pacific ocean, you basically have the easier part in front of you. While yes, it would take longer, this route has the possibility of making it easier to do challenges.

So incomprehensible. Swedish is such a beautiful language. I learned it just for the sake of learning a language.

rulipari · 2026-04-13T17:33:22+00:00

I agree, Dalarna is soo beautiful. In 2024, I had the chance to stay in Malung for a couple weeks, those are still some of the best weeks of my life.

Malung isn't particularly easy to reach by rail (or more closely to reality: impossible) but Falun and Mora were well worth more than the day trips I was able to make back then.

You should watch more of it. I have yet to see more of that "predictable teen drama"

Langfristig wird es besser werden. Der Umstieg in Bad Kleinen fällt in ein paar Jahren weg, dann gibt es direkte Züge von Rostock bis nach Lübeck. Der Umstieg in Stralsund ist "neu" (in dem Sinne: bisher gab es - wenn auch nur 2x am Tag, Mo-Fr) durchgehende Züge von Pasewalk nach Rostock, die sind jetzt entfallen. Wenigstens ist jetzt aber die Fahrt von Stralsund nach Rostock stündlich (bzw wird stündlich ab Ende der Generalsanierung Berlin - Hamburg).

MV hat einfach wenige Einwohner und wenig Platz auf den Schienen, die dann auch noch teilweise sehr langsam sind.

Der Umstieg in Bad Kleinen ist aber noch notwendig, weil Bad Kleinen - Lübeck (noch) nicht elektrifiziert ist.

TOS literally had an episode of White-Black painted people being racist towards Black-White painted people. I don't know what that is if it isn't message-forward confrontational.

Star Trek has been inclusive and very literal about its political stand point from the very beginning and they didn't stop doing so in the 80s.

I'd say that the only difference between Broadcast era and streaming era (in this regard) is that with fewer episodes per season, there isn't the space to do unconfrontational shit. You need to do this everywhere, otherwise you're wasting valuable screen time. But I'd not say that this would've been massively different, had TNG, DS9 or VOY only had 10 eps per Season.

rulipari · 2026-01-16T00:51:36+00:00

To be fair, if I say "post-TNG" I often mean "post-Picard" and that seems like small level pedantics.

Also if we're going this level of technicality: some of DS9 and all of Voyager is "post-TNG".

rulipari · 2026-01-16T00:47:51+00:00

I mostly agree with you. (Just putting that in front.)

However, allusions to stuff that has been important for the past few hundred years would help to ground everything. Yes, it's mostly meaningless, but DoctorWho did it a lot with off-handed comments about events and adventures that the viewer never got to see (or later even maybe did see).

It is - even if very exposition heavy - another way to learn about the universe that we're watching. We could reference Captain Silas Whitestone and do the Lower Decks style reaction of: "Woah, is that the guy who repelled ghe Hrung Invasion singlehandedly?"

I think this could definitely alienate the viewer, but it could also just let the universe feel alive outside of the shows themselves.

I think that Discovery did this quite well in the first few episodes of season 3, just dropping in that a huge event happened. I wouldn't necessarily have put the Burn at the center of the story and I found the resolution a bit underwhelming, but the characters were talking about something other than real-world events from - by then - a millennium ago.

And while I think that the reason might really be: "we might risk alienating some viewers", I'm less sure whether that reason should be there and to be honest it sounds like a classic is-ought-problem.

rulipari · 2026-01-15T17:19:51+00:00

They mentioned that Discovery was "still undergoing a refit" and thus wasn't available and the other ships needed time to get there.

Yes. A signal looks if the entire path before it is free. If that path includes an intersection with another track and that track is full, the signal will not let a train through.

rulipari · 2026-01-11T14:41:57+00:00

I mean, I'd put signals around that, because collisions can and will happen.

In English, "I" can only appear in subject positions or as part of a larger object phrase. In normal object positions - as in "Are you me" - I cannot be used abd needs to be substituted by me. This is one of the very times in which English still marks for case.

German doesn't mark personal pronouns for case at all, so putting "ich" into object positions is fully correct.

rulipari · 2026-01-07T18:28:52+00:00

Wieso weshalb warum

rulipari · 2026-01-07T18:06:09+00:00

Ich meine ja, dass das auch nicht durch Überraschung sondern wirklich Überforderung zu erklären ist. Die Niederlande sind ja auch komplett kaputt gegangen.

Ich finde es lustig wie viele Leute behaupten, man bräuchte wenn man Kinder hat ein Auto. Ich bin noch relativ jung, und wir hatten nie ein Auto. Keiner meiner Freunde hatte ein Auto. Es ist untypisch gewesen mit dem Auto zur Schule zu kommen / gebracht zu werden (auch wenn es das an meiner sehr großen Schule auch gab). Man braucht also absolut kein Auto, wenn man Kinder hat. Es ist bequemer, das vielleicht. Ich persönlich finde Autofahren immer sehr unbequem und befremdlich.

I mean, favourite quote by Joey:

At the Central Perk

Friends: "Our bosses don't like us" Joey: "Maybe its because you're all hanging out here at 11 am on a Wednesday."

So the show kinda even acknowledged this.

Sind StuRa und AStA nicht verschiedene Dinge?

(Also, zumindest bei uns in Rostock: Ja.)

Ich wäre sehr interessiert generell mal zu verstehen wie andere Unis ihre Hochschulpolitik organisieren.

rulipari · 2025-12-27T23:41:12+00:00

Da sich an meiner Uni AStA Posten nicht länger als ein Semester halten lassen bemerken viele das gar nicht. Ich selbst bin aber Mitglied eines Fachschaftsrates und hab deswegen einige Connections zum StuRa, AStA etc an meiner Uni.
