I wonder how Afro-Eurasia feels about being called old.

I knew a graybeard whose cable rack was too heavy for me to lift. 30 years of cable collecting.

I haven’t competed since the last time a high school phys. ed. teacher made me, and I never really cared if I won or lost. I guess I’m on a no salt diet.

the first hydrogen-powered, zero-emissions passenger train

That depends entirely on how the hydrogen is being produced: it’s an energy storage medium, not an energy source.

Though the onboard process does not directly emit greenhouse gases, the production processes to create hydrogen fuel in the US almost always do.

Well that puts a wrinkle in my train heist.

Wut. The reason we’re talking about it at all is because it’s a success, not a flop.

Yeah it’s not very impressive, electrifying one commuter line, when China now has 45,000 km of high speed electric lines.

@Pluto what is this spammy-looking YouTube video that you spammed to several comms? What are you doing?

It’s a game about navigating the mission of publishing “all the news that’s fit to print” when your key demographic may not want to hear that news, or may want it softened or ideologically slanted for their comfort.

Yeah that’s not really what NYT editor Joseph Kahn or any of the other members of the Council of Foreign Relations are trying to do.

Yup, that’s how hedge funds work. Everyone and everything will be left even worse off, which is hard to even imagine given the current state of affairs.

I think this is critical infrastructure that we should nationalize via eminent domain. Given that it’s wildly profitable, what arguments can fiscal conservatives make against it? We can then make the capital investments and worker conditions changes to bring about the direly needed safety improvements. Nationalizing the rail lines could bring the costs down and safety & reliability up further still.
