It exists, but I am not convinced either. Most things are better when breaded and fried in lots of oil, but this probably isn't one of them.

You really need to go here: seattlereconomy.org/event/fix-it..., even if only to vent in person.
I have yet to visit the Shoreline Tool Library, but even if they are only half as awesome as their NE Seattle brethren, I will bet you 5 cans of smoked oysters that something good is going to happen.

Love the 300 series. I started my career on a 320, then got a 350, and then it was 700s and eventually PCs. But the tank-like construction of the 300s was something else.

That's some way to unite the passengers: In disbelief. But I am sure they made it good for you, with food and drink, and goodwill, freebies and extra frequent flier miles, right?

Agree. I never thought I would say this, but for a precious few years, Windows 10 was actually very good software, especially in combination with OneDrive. Less irritating than macOs, even. Now it is getting so bad that even Linux on the Desktop looks good by comparison, again.

I hope you have some of these meshy things clipped on top of your gutters, so 95% of those pine needles get trapped on top of them. This makes it easy to ... oh .... guess I forgot something too.

Then of course there is the Czech ČSD T 478.3, whose nickname in German would be Taucherbrille (diving goggles). Personally I think it has a bit of a Minion vibe.

Do DMUs count? If they do, that would be the Danish IC3 "Gumminase". The first time I came across one, I squealed with delight.

Back in my sauna days, we used to take ice-cold showers and roll in the snow to cool off. But I could probably get used to cooling from the inside.
