Oliver Mayer a German Trainnerd in Japan has recently taken a video of these monstrosities that are part of Kintetsu cable car empire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0kA...

Yay! Love to see a wonderful politician advance in the world

I love financial markets I love specificfying all American territories that may not look at this announcement

They should keep doing war in the Middle East. It keeps flights to Asia via the Persian gulf cheap. It’s like shooting a gun to keep rent down

We got a rail grinder and a TGV going by

GO doing this insane growth even without major service improvements is crazy work Canadians love transit

What Guilliman was up to well Horus was burning Terra

one might note that this seems to not be public transit but rather roads and public transit

its crazy how much americans subsidize european medicine prices. same thing is between 2-3.5k€

the closest ive come is being laughingly scolded in a beijing bar for not speaking Chinese

This is true of the whole US. If you can find a cheap flight it’s often cheaper to fly to Europe than travel domestically

I have stayed overnight in New York 2 times in 4 years of flying out and to its airports. I have done 2am Flix buses instead of a hotel. And now that I don’t live nearby I can simply not afford to go there without begging a friend. I’ll just go Chicago or Toronto instead

I love New York and would visit more often if hotel rooms were not tiny and rapaciously expensive.

Cubic which basically has a monopoly on American public transit fare gates really needs serious competition they are so dogshit at their jobs

🕳️ Blue Line — to O'Hare No trains between Cumberland and Damen — a ~24 min gap, scheduled every 9 min Last seen: #149 · Next up: #148

I dont know much about construction, but its interesting to see how very poor countries build things.

I am really excited to go to the obama-blisk in august

Remote work, like remote school is terrible at teaching people things. It is the nature of learning that the human to human interaction does a big chunk of the work

you are not germany. you have a debt to GDP nearing 100% and are running a deficit of 4.3% of gdp. Bond markets are the most important part of your government budget and long term spending abilities

Whats interesting is that Berlin has 50% more police per capita than new york. 550 vs 730 per 100k residents.

It’s really funny that the German thing of every Asian restaurant being Chinese and Japanese and you have to guess the ethnicity of the owner to figure out which side of the menu is good

Yes this is somehow real. The BART fare gates went down because Cubic failed to pay the AT&T bill. They had another Clipper outage last month because they let the disk fill up on the database server Just absolute clownshow stuff

Chinese Americans won’t be visiting. The family that runs it is really big on denying Japanese war crimes in China during the war

Berlin city government installed fencing to close a big park overnight and now Germanys silliest city is forced to leave them open by the administrative court

I couldn’t imagine a worse fate than being a Russian solider

I really wish I was active enough to get a border collie. They seem like wonderful dogs if you are a cardio freak (laudatory)

there is one country in the world that will build you a new mainline railway for freight. And its also one of 3 that will build you a new metro. and the only one that will do a tramway

one of the things to remember is that iran has control if europeans will freeze to death in their homes this winter

I need to bug a Chinese speaker I know to tutor me on pronunciation. I know I can learn characters ok on my own, but k will never get tones right without a speaker to help

So excited for my flight on Asiana it seems really nice :)

I can’t wait to take my first Rejuvant treatment in my old age

Can’t build tunnel. Apparently the richest country on earth and cant build tunnel.

I am sad to learn that Korean air and Asiana are merging. You hate to see a national long haul monopoly:(

Not a Fan of this.

Headlines should be illegal. It should be „article about keywords, by/ author“

Happy the Strait will be open on June 1st day to all who celebrate

The fact that their visas were granted and then canceled suggests a certain lack of due diligence for the processing of performer visas

Germany produced only 362 million tons of trash in 2024. that’s the least trash since 2009

There’s no Denny’s in Korea??? Noooo I really wanted Asian dennys I was hoping it wasn’t limited to Japan

Good news: 10 years on from the referendum, it turns out that Brexit created 15,000 jobs, added billions to the economy and resulted in a tax windfall and a building boom. Bad news: all those Brexit Benefits happened in Frankfurt www.fr.de/frankfurt/so...

Also what is going on with K-eta to enter South Korea? The state department pages seems to be out of date

I was thinking of this when I was booking flights to Asia. How much of stereotypes of Asians traveling with a lot of stuff is because Asian airlines often have 2 free checked bags. People are people but incentives vary and that’s how you get cultural differences

20% of the budget is debt service so it’s not really a surprise. Especially with treasuries around 5%

Classic europoor victory

... how is NJT itself on fire what the fuck

christmas card I sent my gf in LA just arrived. what the hell Is going on with Deutsche post or USPS

One of the things the EU has been much better than the US about is actually introducing competition into markets

I have begun rosetta stone chinese. Will I learn anything? No. Did my mom already have a lifetime account? yeah. And will it be mildly fun? probably

why is the canadian dollar weaker than the USD but the pound is stronger?
