Savegame 330

@pieceofjuno Johnny from gate 14 mentioned mononucleosis. It would line up with what we heard about Lauer.

@HandlerofYe @ReinaRosa43 @TetsMakino This guy doesn't understand exposure! Get him!

someone please tell me it's just the color grading

@curious_888 @punished_kres @Mrrichardv @ColinDMello I usually think this is it. Since there was a long pause in transit construction all that experience and thus cost and time saving measures bled away. Compare this to our nuclear industry which is delivering refurbishments on schedule and at budget.

@punished_kres @Mrrichardv @ColinDMello Cool, and why are there costs so low? Throwing out numbers is cool but let’s understand why and do better? I know on our side of the pond we spend considerable amount in up front consulting. Is that due to lack of maturity for us to build transit?

LRT costs: “Current cost estimates set the project at $3 billion, and the initiative would see each level of government contribute one-third of the funding required for planning and construction of the transit line.” As we know from past experience - that cost is likely low. #onpoli

@EnviWood @Colin_d_m It's almost certainly going bankrupt though?

@Colin_d_m Fair point. Brightline's private financing model is the real story though. We need more experiments like that.

Brightline is cool but it's neither high speed nor is it "the best in the country". The Northeast Regional, the slow local train from DC to Boston, runs at the same speed and has 4x the ridership.

Hey @Orioles: I don't know who to send this to, so hopefully you can help me out. The usher in 228, Barry S, is amazing. Dude is personable, professional and has been kind to every single person that has walked down these steps today. He rocks, and his boss should know.

@MountainDew Hell yeah.

@MO147MFM In addition to not every bullet having a tracer, cameras back then weren't always good enough to capture the bullets. Also if the footage was from the royal navy, their ships did not use tracers for most of the war.

最近知った事 よく当時の資料映像とかに映っている「弾に当たっていないのに炎上or撃墜される航空機」の理由。 なるほどと思った。

@AustrianOstrich @ThatBeardedGu20 @TheSeaKelpy @Knightly_Hist Yep the mars automatic, firing 8.5mm. With the expected atrocious gun handling. forgottenweapons.com/early-automati…

@ThatBeardedGu20 @TheSeaKelpy @Knightly_Hist To add, I should've said most powerful production handgun. I'm sure even back then some backyard Gunsmith decided to make a handgun that shoots 8mm mauser.

Im late to this but I had to fact check. The old cannon established that the armor dissipates most of the blaster bolt and often keeps them alive. So they go down unconscious and wounded, not dead. This already justifies the use of the armor and their tactics but there's more to it. Thanks to the helmets, they aren't blinded by the flashes of the blasters so they don't loose accuracy as they close in. They can also breath and see through the smoke too. The armor was also meant to be shrapnel resistant and provide life support on hazardous environments (like space). The armor should also make them completely bullet proof, resistant to melee weapons and should be able to defect less powerful blaster bolts. It's just a shame that none of this is ever considered (not sure what % is even cannon anymore) when they make an appearance because it makes them so much more boring if they're just random cannon fodder.

In play, run(s)

@Petulant_Intel @TrashPanda08x Most likely higher because this was before the deregulation of the airlines, so this would have been the more affordable option than air travel. Plus air travel wasn't as safe back then so people would have been more apprehensive.

@TrashPanda08x What? How? Why? How was the ridership?

Good morning!! Amtrak Chief (Chicago - Los Angeles) in Needles CA ©Joe McMillan 1972

@Nasdad_TO @AlexanderGlista Huh. But that service was cancelled years ago.

@AlexanderGlista GO Transit has to use their older EMD F59PH locomotives for London trips specifically because of a weight restriction on a bridge in St. Marys, Ontario. maps.app.goo.gl/P8hWyt2n3doVCL…

It looks like the first GO Transit F59 has been repainted into the “Metrolinx” GO livery. Looks good! (Not sure who to credit the photo to, it’s floating around social media).

@AlexanderGlista I was on the first train and we went up to 80 which I was surprised by.

The Line 5 Eglinton trains are fast in the tunnelled section, and it feels like a subway. The good news is that trains will go even faster in the near future, increasing from 60 km/h to 80 km/h.

@dankyoumyfriend @TJStats It's because the AL East has a lot of parity if you ignore the Rays, they're all tanking each other's odds.

@g_meslin I definitely want to do that tomorrow morning.

If you can, I highly recommend throwing on snow pants and going for a walk. Up to your knees, fluffy and sparkling. Pristine. The city as you almost never see it.

How I felt looking at this.

Retweet if you think the Expos should replace the Dodgers

@MaSc_17 @RyanSSmith576 @SleeperBlueJays @Justingerri Welp.

@MaSc_17 @RyanSSmith576 @SleeperBlueJays @Justingerri I've definitely learned a lesson in my first time paying attention to the baseball offseason and that's to trust nothing and don't get your hopes up lol. That being said I'm immediately going to get my hopes up by 100% thinking this is the case.

If this means Bo Bichette returns to Toronto then I am more than okay with it But now it feels like they HAVE to bring back Bichette
