Privatized railways are mostly failures most of the time. Besides Brightline, and I think a bunch of the Japanese railway companies, no nation really has privatized passenger rail. But I think the Japanese system has a weird setup.

Actually, I think Italy and Germany have started allowing private companies to operate on their railways, but I think they need to fit it between the nationalized services. I could be wrong about that tho.

There will be a transit rally at City Hall this coming Tuesday starting at 11:30am.

OC Transpo is stuck in a transit death spiral. Poor service leads has lead to poor ridership which leads to lower income which leads to poor service and this will continue.

The only way out is investment in the system, more busses, more drivers, more bus lanes, more bus priority signals.

Bit annoying that it's during work hours, but that's when city employees will be there. Hopefully there will be more rallys and protests. Come by if you can.

Don't expect change over night, the fight for a better city happens every day!

I know on Windows there's settings to enable moving torrents automatically when the category changes. Also make sure to enable automatic torrent management otherwise I don't think it will work properly.

I'd also check the default download paths too, there's also a setting to keep inprogress torrents in a different spot. Hope that helps

I kinda slowed down on his videos since that Tom Nicolas video, but I watched his video from a few days ago about blimps because blimps are cool. But it just seemed like a corporate ad. The amount of the video that's renders of products vs actual products is pretty bad.

It didn't feel like a science video about blimps, it felt like half blimp startup ad, half simple blimp explanation. I don't know, it just felt a little devoid of depth.

I hate the passive way headlines are written when it comes to crashes involving bikes. "Tossed" is such a light word for what happened. "Passing RV" as if it wasn't the cause of it all and just happened to be there

That driver should never be allowed on the road again. There's no excuse.

Glad the guy is alive.

Not an answer to your question, but if the instruments are USB (I assume they are), you could also checkout Clone Hero. It's a free PC version of Rock Bank/Guitar Hero, people will make custom songs for it as well, I'm sure some have drum tracks too.

Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.

When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites "streamers" came from but it always confuses me.

The only reasonable tax I could see being applied to an electric car is a weight tax, but that should be for all cars, not just electric. If your cars weighs more, you should pay more, especially at the city level.

More weight means it produces more wear and tear on roads. Not to mention they are more deadly, even at low speeds.

But I doubt this would happen in Mississippi lol

I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.

So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I'm sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.
