ol qwerty bastard posted:"if i accuse someone of a crime and they don't sue me, that proves my accusation was true" wow this is the sort of brain genius logic that makes musk the smartest man on the world no wonder he can make all the best inventions like cars that automatically catch fire or a subway that only goes in one direction Well, to be fair, as long as you have another subway line running the other way running somewhat close to it, and some method of transferring trains from one tunnel to the other at each end, could still work. Still not the best solution, mind you, but theoretically fixable. As I understand it, most actual subway systems tend to run somewhat like this anyways, at least the smaller ones I have personally been on. Can't speak for the larger, more complex ones.

SmokaDustbowl posted:LRTs have an engine on both ends so they can go back and forth on the same track easily, instead of doing some convoluted hyperloop u turn Which is fine for systems where you can ensure you will never have more than one train in the same block at the same time, or two trains approaching each other without a passing track/siding. At least in the (small) metro system in my town, they just have one track on each side of the platforms, one for one direction and one for the opposite. Turnaround loop at each end of the line. Kind of wish they would let people ride during the turnaround, but they make everyone get off of the trains. I guess it has to do with a noise thing? It is pretty noisy from what echoes out of the tunnel.

ate all the Oreos posted:im sure computer vision and AI and big gyroscopes could do that just fine, it's a solved problem ate all the Oreos posted:just have the trains go up on two wheels to go around each other like in cartoons, problem solved Unfortunately, you would have to make the tunnels larger to allow clearance for that, assuming you could also solve for keeping the trains from derailing in the process. Since you just made them larger, you now have room for two tracks and the more complex solution you have provided would no longer be needed.

SmokaDustbowl posted:what's it like living at the kiddie ride section of an amusement park Eh, could be worse. Where I live is like right on the edge of needing a metro in the downtown, built-up areas. Doesn't make sense to have a huge sprawling system with how town is laid out, just one line does what we need for now.

ate all the Oreos posted:yeah, it's actually something that was done over a hundred years ago called a gyro monorail that looks absolutely terrifying to ride in ate all the Oreos posted:the end goal with them was to have them going insanely fast because they can bank very sharp turns automatically without any special equipment, so that's fun  Also, not sure how they would pass each other with only one rail between them. Even leaning opposite directions, I think clearance would be an issue.

Either his ability to consistently come up with the worst possible solutions to problems that don't exist/he made up, or the ease with which he is ridiculed. The accent is pretty amusing too. If I had to pick one thing seriously, I'd say maybe his desire/commitment to trying to get us off of this hunk of rock before it gets completely dickered.

Shaggar posted:non-profit doesn't mean they don't make profits. BCBS is a "non-profit". In addendum, non-profit =/= not-for-profit, and entities categorised as such love to exploit that misunderstanding. From what crusty garbage my brain can dredge up on the subject, non-profit legally aren't allowed to make a profit and any they happen to make has to be got rid of somehow. Not-for-profit can't have making money be their core goal, but they have less oversight as to what happens if they 'accidentally' make money.

iospace posted:That's what the trend is at the moment, use the electrics for on demand power, then use a tiny gas engine for cruising when you only need what, 30-40 HP. With cars getting more aerodynamic, the amount of power needed is going to drop as well. i was always worried about the constant start-stop cycles being bad on engine wear from lack of oil pressure while starting. i take it they fixed that issue somehow?

i mean tbf a lithium pack with a protection circuit to keep it from going bang when the alternator kicked back in would have been fine i think. rip his battery though, they don't tend to like deep discharge followed by high current charging. similar with alternator/voltage regulator, both of those got a workout. could be worse.

Any recommendations? qirex posted:my rice cooker says "neuro fuzzy logic" on it it is an artificially intelligent appliance pretty much any of the mid-to-high tier zojirushi rice cookers are /amazing/, i love mine. make sure you get the induction version, the resistive heat one works... alright. induction heat blows it out of the water. does a lot more than just rice too, between that and the timer function you can set up a meal to be ready when you need it. thats the one gotcha, the timer function is 'i want this to be ready at' not 'i want you to start at', which tripped me up till i got used to it. they also make some combo rice cooker/pressure cooker thing that i want but not bad enough to scour craigslist for. and yes, make sure it has the 'fuzzy logic' sticker on it, the other ones are just dumb timer/weight sensor cooking, /maybe/ a bit better temp control than the heating coil/ptc combo the cheapy cookers use.
