tbf i’d imagine a lot of people still have wifi 4

unfortunately the same effect isn’t achieved when people just take the headset off and go to bed in their own home

the problem is that you still need a driver, so frequency is going to be limited, which makes the service barely usable. Lack of places for vehicles to pass also limits possible frequency on these rural lines.

the idea behind monocab is that you can just throw more vehicles at the problem, so people can either just order a cab or you can have them constantly circulating like a very strange merry-go-round.

Railbuses are still good, but they made a lot more sense in the past. These days people have very very little tolerance for waiting.

this verse is why muslims don’t eat pork, understandably

on the testing tracks, because it’s new technology and needs to be exhaustively tested before the government allows it to be put into service.

like, trains were also new technology at one point, being new doesn’t somehow inherently make it bad lmao

that’s where the workouts enter the picture

unfortunately i am now left with 0% and am having a panic attack

fuck the idea that you have to give 100% in any situation other than life or death, we should be expected to give like 60% at most

F2 is such a boring name though, we should change it

reality stuff is so exhausting because they can never just actually have it be real, like good lord give me 10 people on a tropical island in the style of survivorman! It doesn’t have to be drama, people like slow tv and humans just like seeing other humans do things, and the budget would be some camera equipment and a helicopter with medical staff on standby…

i want to outlive the last fascist

iirc deep rock galactic specifically lets you kick people with the message “oops, this was meant to be a private lobby”, which is quite funny

thank you for justifying my dislike of the name

isn’t it literally just a fork of mastodon?

exactly, i’m catiously optimistic because if this works it could be kinda revolutionary, if rural germans can be convinced to use some form of public transport that’s a huge step towards weaning that hideously car-brained nation off the deathmobiles.

and the big thing with these is that they just run on normal tracks, so you can just… start running normal trains once you see that ridership with the monocabs is reaching sufficient numbers!

have you actually looked at what we’re talking about, like at all? or are you just following the programming of “small vehicle=bad”?

literally my only complaint about these is that they need to clearly explain how stabling and switching tracks would work

and unsurprisingly it’s a german project, a country which is absolutely fucking covered in rural lines that are just rusting away

like, holy shit, can we stop branding everything that isn’t a bog-standard train as “tech bro gadgetbahn”? this thing very explicitly has a specific problem it’s trying to solve.

and that is why they must never be allowed to escape the mirror universe

even if you like ICE you should call the cops on them, because they won’t prove they’re ICE, so you don’t actually know if it’s ICE or a group of unaffiliated shitheads using the excuse to do whatever they want.
