lol I had a job application declined because my ph.d. transcript didn't show that I had a bachelors degree which included 3 hours of calculus
This trip also updated my land speed records 1. Renfe 350 km/h 2. TGV 320 km/h 3. Thalis, Eurostar 300 km/h 5. GWR 133 mph (new!) That kicks out NER and BLF at 125 mph and now no US trains in my top 5 :'(
This sounded remarkable at first but then I remembered Phoenix

Sometimes a play has a very attractive actor and you wonder if that character is supposed to be hot or if that's just a bonus

Bank card fare collection is really a must for modern transit systems, it makes using the buses as a visitor so much easier
This is exactly why I get annoyed on TAB when people talk about fleet electrification as if that should be a priority
An obsession in certain circles with electrifying Canadian bus fleets with plug in battery electric buses (likely driven by policymakers who think somehow buses need to be more green, and that the transportation emission problem isn't almost entirely driven by driving) ...
I don't really understand why NMRX still has train meet issues, like you just built 3 sidings and increased the speed limit in ABQ, surely you have enough flexibility to update the schedule to prevent them?
Today I biked along a beautiful bike path to get to a bike-centric coffee shop, after which I biked 4 minutes to the BRT station where a bus home was arriving 4 and 6 minutes later, and stopped at the bike shop next door to buy a new tire. Albuquerque really is a great place



Is it just me or have the ART bike clips been a lot less broken lately?
you have a duty to respond with an unhinged answer to unite them both against you. that's a milwaukee quiche
i know my brother and his gf are fighting when i receive a text like this
So like has Ruidoso always been turbofucked by flash floods or has the last couple years just been a Bad Time for them down there?
