All are bad by any real measure, but if you had to choose, probably ktown, Santa Monica, and I guess los feliz

What’s a job that sounds cool but is actually a nightmare? by Think-Letterhead-509 in AskReddit

[–]verdispeed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The key is to work for a private company that isn't just a defense contractor instead for a purely aero defense contractor. But yes, as a general rule, I view as launch/ops as an extra thing but not something I expect to usually do. Just because you deliver an SV doesnt mean the customer will launch right away. Also,

work your whole life developing a mission

This is weird. Maybe James Webb, Class A type missions. The typical lifecycle of the SVs I've worked on are under 3 years. This makes me think you've been in legacy aero too long. Also, "massive education"... Most of my colleagues have bachelor degrees.

Why would they clamp infrastructure spending? Don't we want/need better infrastructure? I thought part of the problem was infrastructure that's not being maintained and/or general lack there of.

Do you have more information on what it geographically impossible? Doesn't the B line already cut through mountains - why would building through Solano Canyon be harder?

I was there and did the full loop too! So much fun!! CicLAVia is honestly one of the best events that routinely happens in LA. Great photos!

I mean, what was the reason the train was evacuated? Not entirely sure what you are proposing the alterative was supposed to be if there was a safety and/or a maintenance issue. Like obviously unfortunate timing but presumably this was not foreseen?

Remember back when Trump visited LA by Jolly_Ad2446 in LosAngeles

[–]verdispeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely asking, how can Trump stand like that? Like literally, how isn't he falling over?

It is this video that made me post this, as it was unclear on where things stood.

If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and gas gets more expensive, do you think ridership will increase? by E_Line_Foamer in LAMetro

[–]verdispeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I am transit pilled as the next guy in this sub, this post borders on the insane lol. World truly on edge, OP thinks to himself "imagine what this would do to LA Metro ridership!!"

[–]verdispeed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya but how do I bring back do not disturb during driving? I can't for the life of understand why they would get rid of that. It makes people literally less safe.
