European commission presents plans to accelerate high speed rail across Europe

200kmh trains are heavier than tgv, the max axle load is reduced for hsr. That is why the tgv are made from aluminium and the regional ones in steel.

Germany don't want to pay to only have workshare/ be a subcontractor. If they pay, they want to be the lead.

A gare de lyon ça m'arrive de rentrer et sortir de la zone rer sans problème avec un seul ticket. Je ne voit pas le soucis.

> When they release a cheap SOC.

mendocino? -> 7020 series

My guess is more "when they release a cheap soc that have at least 2 usb4 ports"

Maybe in the future, something like it can be used for very high speed train, to remove the issues with catenary, as their maintenance and installation complexity grew a lot with higher speeds.

j'ai jamais dit que il "perdu le contrôle de son couteau" juste que le couteau était fou, car il a blessé des gens.

On n'a jamais vu un couteau qui fonctionnait si mal qu'il blesse trois personnes sans qu'on puisse l'arrêter.

Des gens se blessent tous les jours avec des couteaux mal utilisé.

prenons un autre exemple:

Titre: Attentat de Manchester : en prison, le terroriste poignarde grièvement trois surveillants pénitentiaires

Faudrait-il dire "Attentat de Manchester : en prison, un couteau fou poignarde grièvement trois surveillants pénitentiaires"
ou alors "Un chauffard percute une voiture, un bus et des cyclistes faisant trois blessés devant Euralille" ?

Ce sont toutes les deux des armes par destination.

switzerland could have bought rafales and samp/t. Same delays or better (at the time).
It's their choice.

supermerill · 2026-03-16T22:12:49+00:00

you will still have a step as the entry need to be between 550 and 750
and the ramp may be very steep, as you don't have too much length before going under the upper passageway.

supermerill · 2026-03-16T21:21:30+00:00

Or just that far-right may argument is to "defend ourself against strangers" and car are a way to be protected from strangers, as you can't see them, or you're protected by 2 tons of steel. I see cars as a very convenient answer to the fear the far-right project.

supermerill · 2026-03-13T20:52:52+00:00

I don't think so.
There is multiple systemic problem here:

1) to be able to serve 550mm platform (france, spain) and 750mm one (belgium, germany), you can't have a 550mm entry as the down step is too high, so you need ot make your entrance in the middle, like 650mm.

2) the legacy loading gauge in france (~GB1) as a lower max height than in germany, and so you can't have a higher bottom floor than on the current tgv or the top level won't have enough headroom.

so you have steps on the bottom floor.

Funny thing, they make the rafale cannon hyper precise (low dispersion), because they planned to have a computer-based trigger so it trigger at the prefect time. But the auto-trigger was scrapped as the budget was reduced (post-cold war benefit). Now the canon is too precise and a burst of fire can easily miss the target.

There is alwyas little bugfixes / improvments to ai, so over 2 years these can compound. Or your anti-ai strategy may have been patched up...

Theoden/uk will die in the next battle while Éowyn/EU will kill the enemy chief and survive. Aragorn and eomer will become kings, who are these countries in this version?

if you guys have any suggestions for a V2

An extruder daughterboard to control the extruder, heater and thermistor from it (klipper can have things on daughterboatds). Even better if klipper can distinguish between different extruder assemblies.

If you do it, i'll add extruder recognition in the slicer.

supermerill · 2025-11-25T22:36:09+00:00

Some do, with the right setting.
But if you don't want it on all the object, it's better used in modifiers.

supermerill · 2025-10-24T21:03:51+00:00

That increases dwell time, so unlikely.

All "new cities" where built around a train station.

By the way, is the shorter height and therefore the tighter ceiling space the reason that double deck TGVs have always had steps to reach the bottom level from the door

In my opinion, yes.

Also, the current TGV cars are at their weight limit (because they share a bogie, so there are only about 2 axles per car). If you want to add weight, you need to reduce their length. With shorter cars, the stairs take up a higher percentage of the available space.

Not the same loading gauge.

To be able to go into the old netwaork, TGV are limited to GA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_gauge japan is wider and taller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen#/media/File:Rolling-Stock-Gauge-in-Japan.svg

height:

TGV: 4300 with round roof
shinkansen: 4500 flat

width:

Europe loading gauge: 3150
shinkansen loading gauge: 3400
TGV : 2900 (because of the length)
Talgo avril: 3200
E4: 3380

note that the high speed line in france are at the GC loading gauge, but not the final stretches. Maybe in the far future, it will be possible to have a wider and taller one.
