Prius vs brodozer?
AA has been operating 757s on Bos-Lhr forever. I liked those flights - not as many people as on 747s, fast boarding, and they are wicked fast.
I think I have been on 4 plane flights in the last 15 years. Round trip Oakland to Cancun once and round trip SFO to DC for my FIL's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. Once I stopped being a National sales rep I said fuck flying
You 1st Chang.
Have you seen the pathetic state of railways in NZ????
They are way worse than even the Americans!

Yes I am actively campaigning for change there. NZ used to have (period appropriate) good trains and a great network too. We gave it up for ‘moar cars’. Time to roll that back.
And having used both US trains and nearly every NZ trainline, I’d say there isn’t that much in it. I did like the line from SF to Shallow Alto though, back when I was a west coast bike commuter.

Caltrain’s electric trains have arrived. Here’s when you can ride.
The first set of electric trains for Caltrain landed in the Bay Area and are beginning to pass the first of many tests needed before they appear on the tracks.

You should see how long it takes to build a road in NZ. Measured in decades.
Yeah but you guys have to fire up 10,000 sheep to turn the concrete mixers. We're the nation of halliburton. We build cities in a week when it comes to taking over a people or a resource.
Hawaii residents beg tourists to stop visiting in post-pandemic boom
Tens of thousands of extra tourists are making Hawaii’s roads, beaches and restaurants practically unusable.

Yeah, Hawaii is in a weird place. Kind of like ski counties. Dependent on tourism yet spiteful (often rightfully so).
Next summer I’m thinking maybe we don’t even leave Colorado. Instead just hunt down all the touristy things that we can do around here like ATV tours, zip lining, rafting, etc. Be local tourists.

So where did it go wrong?
Right about when they started letting the lower middle class onto the planes instead of just the rich.
Is that a trash compactor or the droid we're all looking for?

Speculation on pilot boards that captain my have told first officer to go "check the landing gear" by lowering the rear ramp in flight...vs. "suicide".
Well yeah, when you're riding up at the pointy end its always nice!
Do masks protect against catching affluenza?
Gotta have them fly with the poors at least once so they can appreciate the perks of first class.
