When were they there before? Why did they leave? ETA on completion, maybe before June 2025? I’ll be there and would love for them to be complete by then.

I know right? I mean if they colluded to lower advertising prices through collective agreement that would be something. Especially if they had an internal forcing mechanism to ensure compliance.
But um, they set out voluntary guidelines they suggested everyone follow to protect each member’s own best interests, and decided to spend zero dollars to buy nothing, which is a far far cry from trying to spend zero dollars to buy something.
What an ultra-maroon.
I’ll allow it!
Exactly. Hence the chaos creating.
You forgot: don’t wear underwear. So exhausting AND gross.
Create some real chaos, make it look like Putin did it using one of his preferred methods.
Hmmm certainly something to think about. Like I said, skeptical but also asking about what I hadn’t thought of [cheers]
I won’t agree or disagree with the speed comment, you could very well be correct.
As for powering by solar in Japan (and any other currently electrified system), I would guess that’s easily done right now by changing how their power is generated; and that doesn’t require a change in the system, just the generation. In japan around 66% of their rail is already electrified (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_electrification_in_Japan look at the summary box showing total miles and electrified miles). So I’m still skeptical that a conveyor system is the answer vs adding more electrified rail in that same strip of land and powering it with solar generation. But again, maybe there’s something to be gained with such a different engineering solution per my OP.
And while you’re spot on for the US (less than 1% from my google search) a conveyor won’t solve it sadly unless there’s something about that which makes it cheaper to deploy then adding a catenary system to our current railways.
Hmmmm I’m still skeptical mind you, but hear me out …
What if there’s benefits to be had by the traction motors being stationary, the electrical connections being fixed instead of moving contacts (read: not 3rd rail or overhead catenary), and the simplicity of containers not being all connected for easy removal from the conveyor without disrupting the movement of other containers?
Mind you I can’t imagine how this system can operate at reasonable speeds vs cargo trains that apparently hit 100km/h in Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_Freight_Trains_(Japan) ) but surely my imagination isn’t good enough.

Not sure why you’re getting the down votes, that was funny AF :)
Yup. This is my guy, my VA rep. I remember getting either a mailer, or a newsletter, or whatever, update from his office talking about him starting this. Thought it was great and locked in my support. I agree we need to keep flowing in young blood into congress, but Don is still doing good work and doing his best to keep relevant.
Hate the faith, love the faithful
Interesting. Sad but interesting. I appreciate your comment.
I visit Prague often. I don’t know that I have enough exposure to feel like I should have known, but still I’m very surprised by the Czech Rep.
woah too soon man, too soon
naw, just perfect!!!
Sounds like a great reason to GTFO of Tennessee
Hmmm I suppose that makes sense. I mean, I obviously can’t argue given the many videos out there. I guess I’m just surprised. Those things aren’t quiet, and as you said the ones being used are much bigger than your friends.
I wonder if it’s a factor of being up in free open air, as opposed to being say, 50-75m away a few feet off the ground so the ground can help reflect the sound a bit more.
Well, like I Said, glad it’s working either way :)
Vid says altitude is 75m, that isn’t THAT high. How do they not hear these drones? Is the sound really dissipating that much? Are their ears just deaf from gun fire and artillery?
Either way, Slava Ukraini !!!
Exactly. I like and play sports a lot, I get my competition there. I didn’t need it in my games.
