| Question: Were model years invented more likely for buses than trains? Posted: 20 Jul 2016 11:46 PM PDT 'Model years' were invented by car marketers, as a means of persuading people to change cars more often, not "for" either buses or trains. Car makers naturally wanted to promote the idea that they used good engineering and their products were of high quality. However that implied that their cars would last for years, which was bad for repeat sales. They got round this by encouraging the idea of replacing cars because they were unfashionable rather than because they were worn out, and promoted that by making minor, often cosmetic, changes to their designs each year so that the car's age was more evident. This had two main advantages for car manufacturers and dealers: |
| Question: Did the German rail company screw me over? Posted: 20 Jul 2016 08:20 PM PDT No. It is just one of many examples where for some reason a place has a name (in the local language) but is called something else by many speakers of another language. E.g. Paree (French) = 'Paris' in English Munchen (German) = 'Munich' in English An-tob (Scottish Gaelic) = 'Leverborough' in English Dinbych-y-pysgod (Welsh) = 'Tenby' in English and worst of all for the unwary tourist there is a city in Northern Ireland which is called 'Derry' by Catholics and 'Londonderry' by protestants. |
| Question: Packing/Traveling Questions! Please Urgent!? Posted: 18 Jul 2016 01:04 PM PDT Hello, so I need some help. Something came up and i needed to buy a ticket to virginia. So u researched the modes and found train was thw cheapest and easier. But the only train they had was a overnight train on the Amtrak. The problem is, i don't really know what to pack. This is a 11 almost 12 hour ride. And it's the first time traveling alone. So if wouldn't mind answering some off these questions, I would GREATLY appreciate it!😊 ~What do I bring to an overnight train ride? (Also this is the first time on a train to...) Anyways these are my questions i just want to say thank you in advance. |
| Question: Will the California high-speed railroad line be finished in my lifetime? Posted: 18 Jul 2016 10:12 AM PDT And then God said, "Not in My lifetime..." I am a native Californian and a retired hoghead at 63 years of age. We are talking about procuring at least 600 miles of the most expensive real estate on the planet. Even if seized by the provisions of "Eminent Domain", the cost of right of way will be sky high, long before any uber-expensive grading starts. How expensive? Class 1 mainline cost $1 Million a mile..... 25 years ago. How much does anyone think fully engineered road bed with exacting tolerances to allow for the high speed trip to happen over the course of that very expensive 600 miles? In California we are experiencing times when it is hard enough to fund vital services (Cal Fire, Cal Trans, law enforcement officers, schooling, Federal mandates without Federal funding, et. al.) and our infrastructure that has reached its anticipated service life of the state highway miles, bridges and many hundreds of miles of ancient levees that will fail soon without maintenance or upgrade. These levees were not engineered and are comprised of dirt, rip rap, old concrete and any other handy materials that have been accumulating since the 1860's; junk piled higher and higher as over time the silt raised the level of the Sacramento and American rivers. The money just isn't there. Geologically, any route will parallel the San Andreas fault and cross it and a few other fault lines as well, which means at the very least we will be tickling the dragon's tail... So, it looks good on paper and a lofty ideal, but it isn't going to happen for a long time, if at all. Besides, if Sacramento is under 15 feet of water, it isn't going to matter anyway. And when that happens (I didn't say if it happens), if you can even find a head of lettuce or an artichoke or peach to eat, you're going to pay $35 for it, which means few will be able to afford the high speed trip in favor of feeding their family. Instead of wasting that cash, we should use those monies to finance the first manned mission to the sun. And for all the naysayers out there, how stupid do you think Californians are? We'll go at night, of course... |
