California receives less than it contributes to the federal government. It subsidises other states.

There’s ~$34 million in there to study new routes. The $3 billion of this going to CAHSR will:

• Fund six electric trains for testing and use
• Fund design and construction of trainset facilities
• Fund design and construction of the Fresno station
• Fund final design and right-of-way acquisition for the Merced and the Bakersfield extensions
• Fund construction in the Central Valley

Maps sourced from OSM might be more precise for off road stuff in busy locations but in general Google maps will be more precise for city streets if you’re looking for an address.

The quality of OSM data really just depends on how many people are interested in mapping the area. Look at German cities for example and the data is excellent.

Sooo… it’s just libertarianism?

I have an a770. The only issue that I’ve had with what little gaming I do, is that CS2 ran pretty terribly, although I tried again last night and it seemed much better.

We’ll put, but I disagree with you on this point

The US wasn’t built by public transit though, it was built by car and truck.

Many US towns and cities started as railroad towns, and they grew due to rail connections. They had local streetcars around which new suburbs were built. Downtowns were originally walkable and mixed use. Only later were they destroyed to make way for urban freeways and parking, and the post war housing boom’s racist policies brought about single family zoning and car dependant suburbs.

The US was built on mass transit. Pre WWII the US was covered in electrified interurban lines, it wasn’t until the 50s when the car started to become really popular that these were dismantled and your cities demolished to make way for more highways. Many people could easily benefit from new transit options if they were installed, while for others changes to land use (such as ending single family zoning) would also be need to be made.

The US freight rail industry isn’t some of the best in the world, it’s actually really quite terrible. It fails to maintain it’s infrastructure, can’t run to a schedule, frequently loses cargo, and causes ecological disasters. It is good at creating short term profits for shareholders, not being an effective transportation network. If you want more info, here’s a video that explains it better.

Why wait?

I have a Turing pi V2, currently with only one CM4 module in it, running some *arrs, paperless, smb and some monitoring.

“Bikes don’t work for some people, therefore why bother? Let’s all just drive.”

You can make more than 100 ebike batteries with the same amount of lithium as one electric car battery.

Caojiawan metro station

That station was just built ahead of other development (which is a sensible thing to do), this is what it looks like now:

Manual transmission is half arsed. If you really want manual, ride a bike.

If you don’t like Microsoft’s contributions to Linux, you can fork it and remove them. If you don’t like Microsoft’s contributions to Windows, you have to use something else.

Except obviously the pentagon needs some cash to deal with the aliens.

But every recipe from the US uses kosher salt, which means their measurements don’t match for other salts, but if they gave the weight it wouldn’t be an issue. 5g of salt is 5g of salt no matter the size of the crystals, but one teaspoon can be totally different.
