A thought: I like seeing exactly what command it wants to run, before I say yes/no. You can do this in an IDE by inventing a language to describe operations, but that's just reinventing CLI.

Make the can Old German and it'll feel like my uni years in Pittsburgh.

In any case, intermingling is something that Germany does quite a bit of, and I suppose the lesson there is: don't, and, if you do, don't underinvest for decades while the system degrades and millions depends on it working.

It's marvellous when all your train connections work because every train is equally delayed

If you can find them

Whatever you do don't copy Germany

Long distance too?

Connections are the difference. Sitting here wondering if I'll make my transfer on time at Berlin, the importance of reliability is somewhat highlighted. And unfortunately on the German railway network, a very serious concern.

NJ: a bad state, or the worst?

Somehow EU can mandate spyware on 400+ million peoples' phones (Chat Control) without unanimous agreement, but they can't put out a weak statement without cowering to Hungary?

Around year 2000, I used to go to La Fiesta on Atwood. Americanized, but must have been better than Chi Chi's. It's gone now.

Your name threw me for a sec, Paçzki instead of Pączki. Funny.

Amazing. After watching this I get the feeling that if every convoy was followed with a boombox blasting Yakety Sax the ICE trash would flee the state in dire embarrassment. What clowns. imgur.com/gallery/foun...
Found the perfect theme song for these keystone cops. Just had to.

Nice of them to plan this very foreseeable work with only a few weeks notice.

Commute was only 1/5th of journeys (generally) & that proportion has dropped since pandemic. Over-emphasizing commute is a classic transport planning mistake.

Cycling density just as good as walking density in the Netherlands.

They could do better, but worse than NJ? No way. Only Hoboken compares.

Worse than NJ is a helluva claim for a development that is 10 minutes bike ride from Delft station.

Back over a decade ago, I made a big fuss to ensure that 2 replacement stations for the B line in Boston (now rebuilt at Amory & Babcock Streets) would have access at both ends. They agreed to do it, basically by making the stations a whole block long rather than add more crossings.

Possibly this one, it's been a long time.

EU cities could step up their sidewalk salting game too.
