My guess would be that frame built for it extends out to the ground and you winch the boat up onto it.

No, in the same sense that “putting a data center in space” doesn’t make any sense either. If they had decided to put high speed rail above ground in 2013, it could have been done and dusted by now. It could extend the whole coast of California by now. Digging that shit underground? They would be lucky to have 100 miles done. Its completely ignorant of the context, costs and impact associated with its design decisions, something that has become a pattern in the companies this particular manchild collects like playtoys.

Ever wonder why these guys never touch paypal? Because its their perfect cash cow. Its their credit card company double skim off the top scam. If they ran paypal like they ran the any of their other companies or the government, they would destroy it. They know that they are incouragable fuckups incapable of bettering society. Its why they go about scheming to have control of it instead. I’m convinced hyperloop was never anything more than a sales pitch to derail any real progress on a genuine public asset that would cause fewer electric cars to be sold.

Im specifically referencing hyperloop. Of course there are some contexts (usually dense urban ones) where trains in tunnels make sense, just like there are some contexts where putting data infrastructure in space makes sense.

Why put trains underground? The question isn’t of practicality, but if the idea would sound cool to a 10 year old.

I find the fediverse to be quite lively (more than reddit) even if it doesnt have 5 posts a second. Quality > Quantity. Would rather have 1 good post that gets engagement than 10 shitposts nobody ever sees.

Why bother, if they want a good community they will seek one out. Growth isn’t necessarily good for this place.

It is the ultimate corporate yes-man that they could never quite get in a human. They have built it for C-suites who have control of the money but not their own faculties.

My neighbors had a pit that hated other dogs. My sister brought her dog over and it escaped the backyard and jumped through an empty screen door to attack her. I was right there on the porch though and got the dog by the collar. As soon as I got it away from my sister’s dog, it was wagging tail and happy face. Pit bulls are capable of intense focus when they have identified “prey.” Most dog owners are not equipped to deal with the reality of training a dog like that. Luckily I only got grazed in that altercation.

Lol, Labradors are not easy dogs. They are very friendly, but they need a lot of outlet for their boundless energy and constant direction or they become misbehaved. Every other poodle I ever met was undertrained and misbehaved too.

According to Wikipedia (I understand the irony here) dogsbite dot org has been accused of publishing misleading and inaccurate information. However, pit bulls are terriers and terriers don’t let go when they bite. Most terriers are small ratting dogs where this doesn’t matter so much.

Yup, that’s my point.

Could be that that medicine is (like coffee) a diuretic. They make you pee more so you have to drink more water to stay hydrated.

I can drink 5L on hot days without any increase in peeing. On a cold day I only drink 2.

There is nothing inherently wrong about that. Maybe what your mother is getting towards is that maybe you should cut the amount of noodles in half if you want to add potatoes, otherwise you will just end up with too much.

Probably that guy who shot him through the neck.

might be after your account and routing numbers on the checks

Makes me think of all those sleepy and dazed hours spent in a classroom.

Obvious mistake, they must mean one of these:

Gabe Newell enters the chat.

Yeah, I only tried what I assume was the snap version, and then APT which I suspect redirects to installing the snap version (maybe not though since this is mint and not direct ubuntu?) In any case I have a few more tendencies towards LMDE which will probably make me end up there eventually.
