I was on this train. Amtrak paid me a settlement not to sue them, but it’s not Amtrak I blame, it’s BNSF, who owns the track. It’s very clear from the camera footage that the track was badly misaligned by the time the train went over it at 80 mph. That line is one of the busiest in the country, and if the freight locomotives (one of which had gone over that section of track barely an hour prior) had some kind of monitoring system, they would have alerted all the other trains to stop or slow down. I used to love riding trains, but our rail infrastructure is much too far behind places like Europe.
I blame lazy parents. The message is meant to be “You shouldn’t be picky, you should be thankful that you’re fortunate enough to have access to such quality food. There are people in much worse conditions than you, which much worse food security, who would gladly eat this broccoli/peas/whatever.” But most parents just say “there are starving children in Africa” and leave it at that.
Unfortunately, no. From what I gather, any other browser on an iPhone is just Safari with a different skin.
In 2021, I was riding an Amtrak train when it derailed at 80 mph. Several of the cars, including the one I was in, fell onto their sides and slid a significant distance along the ground. Three people were killed.
After spending the night in a hotel, they arranged for me and several other passengers to get on another train to get us home. I didn’t think much of it, I just wanted to get home, but the moment the train got up to speed I realized I had made a mistake. I spent the entire journey in a state of extreme stress, on the verge of crying. This train (the Empire Builder) is timed so that you get to sit in the diner car and eat dinner while passing through the most scenic part of the trip, the Rocky Mountains of western Montana and northern Idaho. But I didn’t enjoy any of it. I remember staring at my dinner, desperately trying to hold myself together, wincing every time there was a bang or jolt (and for those who’ve never been on an Amtrak train - there are a lot of those).
I had never experienced an anxiety attack before, and based on this experience I never want to have one again. The train got to my home station at about six in the morning, and I didn’t sleep at all.
I don’t even want to know what the French horn players are doing to their instruments…
What doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again.
I once had a dream where there was a McDonald’s in Skyrim. My first thought when I woke up was “There’s probably a mod for that”
Like most things in life, blame the French
You can rip my Oxford comma out of my cold, dead, and grammatically-unambiguous hands.

I was trying to get help with something while setting up Windows, and getting increasingly frustrated with their stupid automated tech support (because evidently it’s literally impossible to speak to a human unless you’re a developer or something). I ended up cursing at it, and it stopped and went “Let’s keep this professional.” If anything that made me even more pissed off.

I would recommend Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Madoka Magica, as well as Planetes if you’re into sci-fi. Girls Und Panzer is super fun as well.
Oh, yeah, you’re right. I didn’t even see “Saturday night” in the article lol. Whenever I see old dates I like looking up what day of the week it was on, just for fun.
Allegedly I’m related one one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence…and Pocahontas.
That is the point. You’re basically trying to say “Look how rich I am, I can afford to have all this land dedicated to looking pretty and not being useful for anything else”
I love working on my car and taking it to meets and shows, but I have a hard time finding friends in the community for exactly this reason.
Isn’t that HAraM
I wonder if you could make a muzzle brake with the floppy bits of whoopee cushions attached to the gas ports…
Oh man, I would be so on board with that. As long as there’s vacuum tubes.
I would also join this endeavor. This country needs a small, light pickup truck again that a guy can fix in his driveway with basic tools.

How “big” is L2? Is there any chance of Euclid or JWST interfering with each other?
I’ll gladly talk about cars with you!
Early variants of the Panzer IV actually used a short barreled howitzer like that, so that’s not inaccurate
Because it was sponsored by grain industries. Similar to the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” and “milk is good for your bones!” myths.

I used to take the train quite a bit - like the general consensus here, it was scenic, comfortable, if slow and non-punctual. But I was willing to put up with that if I had a non-time-sensitive trip, since it was so much better than flying or driving. For one trip from Washington to Minnesota, I decided to fly out then take a sleeper car back (Empire Builder). All went well, until the train derailed and three people were killed. Not Amtrak’s fault, and I don’t blame them at all, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to ride another train since.
I’ve been getting into collecting vintage hi-fi equipment (1960s and later, though) and this sounds absolutely amazing

That’s a tough question, but I’d say the Pontiac GTO. I just love the way it looks, especially the stacked headlights
They’re definitely biased, though. For every “majestic” or “superb” bird there’s one named something like “drab titwaffle”
Is that why people go “Ah, ‘37, a very good year”?
It’s a stylistic thing, it’s no different from a standard S. The opening of the US Bill of Rights is written the same way
