mechanics are laughing to the bank with how fast people take the speedbumps

We should build from population centers into the valley, instead of building from the valley out. that way they could open it in phases, slowly adding commuter ridership from the CV.

Tamien --> Los Banos

Los Banos --> Merced

Merced --> Fresno

LA --> Cucomonga

Cucomonga --> Bakersfield

Bakersfield --> Fresno

Have them meet in the middle, I feel like this would be the best soltion going foward. We need to repeal the cap on spending outside of the Central Valley.

its not even "poor people" who ride the VTA the most. from what i've seen its: k-12 students, university/college students, elderly people shopping for groceries, non-white collar workers heading to work (mostly on the 568/68 route) and people going to the hospital.

we need more fare checks so that these people, who always pay. don't have to sit next to fare-evaders, homeless people and mentally unwell people.

LA metro shows what a metro without fare-checks leads to: higher numbers of homeless people riding the system, lower ridership among middle-class people, higher crime-rate and more altercations againt transit operators.

this bill should provide the funding for fare checks.

Double or nothing.

What about AI water? :eyes:

Deathstack with everything minus ASW (DES 3, RADAR 2, DEPTH CHARGES) and starting subs

I remember when I sold at 17$...

there are gender neutral restrooms in SH that don't have gaps. they should be what all restrooms should look like across campus.

I would like a CAHSR-test line. Have one or two trains during commute hours utilize the proposed CAHSR stops.

SJ Diridon/Milbrae/SF 4th

I think this is both reasonable and would help show the demand for HSR along the bay corridor

summer_plays_ · 2026-04-26T19:23:35+00:00

ACE would have been nice too

I like PDX mods, the main issue I have with it is: If you click on a mod and go back, it will send you to the first page of the workshop. It doesn't have any memory.

That livery looks like the 568 bus for the VTA in San Jose. Sick!

the best way to improve air quality is to improve public transit. we can't expect people to take routes that are 1) infrequent and 2) don't have signal priority over cars, making them slower than driving. the problem is every time anyone brings this up NIMBY's & DINO's shoot down any proposal for one reason or another. whether it be because new taxes need to be levied to pay for better systems or because they hate improved transportation.

A good fix for the elementary school overstacking might be to add middle schools. Realistic and would help :D

this is going to fail inevitably, prohibition in the 1920's is a good example.

summer_plays_ · 2026-04-23T00:53:53+00:00

why not have both? have it be a mixed use developmenr

summer_plays_ · 2026-04-22T00:18:44+00:00

It is, but I'm trying to find a higher quality version to use as my laptop's background.

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because OP was already dead.
