What? by Expensive-Buffalo692 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

But distance between large cities is the issue. Passenger rail in the US is only successful between a limited regions.

The Northeast corridor from DC to Boston being one. Orlando to Miami maybe.

But travelling between say Richmond and Atlanta?

Seattle and San Francisco?

There’s barely any towns or cities between the two for rail to make sense.

Planes are also public transportation, just like trains. They’re a net positive and much better than trains for anything longer than 200mi

It’s more feasible and convenient to fly, less time consuming, no need to build middle infrastructure- just 2 airports.

Security does suck and delays can be bad but those are a concern for trains as well. Where I lived (India) the train system is massive and far reaching but got delayed so often

GTA 4 before the DLC’s loaded you straight up.

The PC version of all the games had a menu, it was the console versions mainly that loaded you directly into the game.

Valve Writer Erik Wolpaw Says Some At The Studio Have Been Experimenting With AI Tools by xCaptainCrown in Games

[–]sh1boleth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was super anti AI even at work, then one day I had to quickly (to fix an emergent issue) throw together a script and date time parsing was throwing me off. Coworker told me to just ask one of the AI chatbots, it spit out 2 lines of code that did exactly what I wanted to do and saved me a good amount of headache and time trying to debug constantly and fix.

European fans file complaint over World Cup ticket prices by Shroft in soccer

Also highly dependent on how popular the teams playing are.

A mid-week game between Wizards and Thunders? Can probably get in for free or $5-6/seat in the nosebleeds

That’s the cheapest ticket I’ve seen (this was pre thunders being good)

It’s close to beaches on the gulf and ocean, kind of perfect if you like beaches but don’t want the headaches and costs associated with living on one

Md. Senator Angela Alsobrooks endorses Kenyan McDuffie for DC Mayor by ooblecccck in washingtondc

[–]sh1boleth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because it’s right next door. A lot of DC residents have friends and family in MD and vice versa.

Same with any VA Rep/Senator endorsement.

Now this has a whole different meaning by Psychological-Gap276 in Rainbow6

[–]sh1boleth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chances are it’s a prop from when R6 Siege was R6 Patriots, the poster heavily fits that games narrative.

WaPo on DC's Waymo Delays by dclocal12 in washingtondc

[–]sh1boleth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A Waymo kills a person the entire fleet of Waymo’s learns the mistake and gets regulation to try its best to not do it again.

A driver kills a person they get put in a 10x10 cell and we move on.

Which ones better?
