Got my route for tomorrow ready

America is finally getting German public pools for straight people

This has been a very big year for me, so I felt like going through some big events from my year 🧵

A patchwork approach to snow clearance yields patchwork results.

Oh my god the upstairs bathroom has heated floors

lowkey great bit for the berlin police to never hire interpreters and just ban protest slogans that arent in english or german

It's like getting to McDonald's at 1035! 🥰

When the Swiss write in German, it looks perfectly normal, but if this was said on a train not a single German would understand it

Where id live

Reminder: Minneapolis is really nice

Usually I don’t mind the lack of real post offices in Germany, but waiting forever in an edeka is not my fav experience

If you want a German to like you just tell them you enjoy spending time with them. Germans never say such things to each other (at least older people)

This year about 500,000 new balcony solar panels were installed in Germany. Current total is around 1.2 million. Very exciting

Weil Busse oft im Stau stecken, hat das Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus eine Seilbahn prüfen lassen. Eine Studie sieht großes Potenzial. So könnte eine Trasse verlaufen.

The cops and security are on most systems. WMATA is the only one where the security does patrols of cars (they have a clipboard that they need to fill out per car I think) and is actively adding presence instead of playing candy crush

Ein schöner grüner Erfolg: Im laufenden Jahr dürften rund 500.000 neue Balkon-PV-Anlagen hinzu gekommen sein. Deren Gesamtzahl stieg damit auf über 1,2 Millionen. #Energie #Photovoltaik www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

Why does Jerusalem look like that. Ugliest buildings I’ve ever seen. Tel Aviv has a lot of real uggos but there’s plenty of nice buildings, but other than the new train station nothing in Jerusalem (on streetview) looks nice

Locking people into debt peonage all to buy a status good that an unscrupulous huckster convinced you would turn your life around? What is this, a masters degree from a private university?

Have you ever seen BART’s Grand Meet? It’s our nightly ritual at MacArthur BART station! All four platforms fill with the lasts trains of the night for a timed transfer at 12:51 a.m. so riders can get anywhere in the system. Watch to see how our system planners make it happen!

gotta recommend both of these series fr fr

For scale, the original “10-minute turn” was so they could do DAL-HOU on an hourly headway, 50 minutes each way with 10 minutes to turn the aircraft.

> via Nicht Einsteigen Type you it’s a real place.

Maybe having the navy build the worlds cheapest and shit railway with scrap cars from the 1960s wasn’t wide

Tren Interoceanico derailment this morning. Looks like the SD70M/Budd consist (vs HSTs). Other reports note injuries but fatalities uncertain so far…

english degree: good luck getting a job, buddy! AI can replace you coding degree: good luck getting a job, buddy! AI can replace you film degree: your deep knowledge of behind the scenes stories from Who Framed Roger Rabbit will delight and entertain coworkers in any field for decades to come

I really hope they do actually move Hamburg HBF to Berliner Tor, the current station is way too small and really needs to have a lot more tracks to allow for the growth in demand.

Diesel trains win again

Buildings In a vacation town. I really like the architecture and unlike most of Germany it’s new builds in a neighborhood not all together in a new neighborhood

Twas a nice 19km walk.

Going for a walk. 10km in, at least 10km back home. I’m gonna have an amazing nap later

Very disappointed, Germany has such a large and involved graffiti culture, esp in Berlin and this is the best you could come up with???

I should get a flu shot

Hello from Graal-Müritz on the Baltic Sea. I feel like I should be able to see Sweden

Crime in Graal Müritz is out of control! Someone stole the Christmas tree

The trolley truck test road outside of Lübeck

St. Rochus in Jülich, Germany. Formerly a church, now a bicycle shop. r/brutalism

A thing from TAZ I actually like! Hamburg should build a tram network instead of creating cheaper D tickets for certain groups

Going to be in Berlin from the 4-5th, anyone want tk say hi?

I have now been in all 16 German states! Having now driven through Schleswig Holstein

Man e Lion Bus in Hamburg, as seen from a Burger King

Hello from a burger king drive through in Hamburg.

I am glinting a road trip and it’s notable how much nicer the autobahn is than American highways. Basically 0 potholes and such

I really need to learn more French

It was Raclette night

I really liked this guy, the pyramid is a big Christmas hit with me

The house of my former host family has a fireplace/heated bench thing that I love

Went for a walk

I love the quotes and replies that think this is about their country

When it’s time to take 59 vacation days and the economy is falling apart

Heute hätte ich wieder mal Lust auf ausgiebige Eisenbahntouren durch UK.
