I genuinely through that when East Side Access opened, NYC Transit would take over Atlantic to Jamaica as a subway line or something, or at least the LIRR would do their best impression, with frequent shuttle service and leaner staffing. Am I hallucinating or did they hint that that was the plan?
A 100 minute LIRR trip from Brooklyn to just over the Nassau border? On a weekday morning? How?!
There’s a 57 minute pause in Brooklyn service weekday mornings. Naturally, the first train after the pause is scheduled to misconnect to a Far Rockaway train, so it gives a 58 minute wait at Jamaica…

The greens in Kiel broke the fire wall to work with the AfD to be nimbys. The housing theory of everything wins again
Im Bauausschuss haben die Grünen einen Antrag eingebracht, der nur mit AfD-Stimmen eine Mehrheit fand. CDU und SPD sind empört, den Grünen tut’s leid.
Grüne in Kiel wackeln an der Brandmauer herum

I wish there were more high speed regional services in BW. Stuttgart Mannheim should have a high speed RE, or allow local tickets on ICEs

Wherein the Dutch phenomenon of NIMBYs lodging complaints against construction projecta in hopes of a settlement payout is described.
As construction financing does not really exist here, the prepaid unit owners have to pay.

I think syntax (linguistics) should be required for CS students. Coding is a human language and its useful to know how that is structured

Today we're unveiling our eighth locomotive in Metro-North’s Heritage Series—a moving tribute to our nation’s veterans.
Created and designed by Metro-North veterans, this locomotive embodies gratitude to those who have worn the uniform, both within the Metro-North family and across the country.

The language center of the university of Stuttgart is formal, and maintains separate restrooms for lecturers and students, which I have never seen before
There are many reasons to have all-gender bathrooms, but the main ones are biological, and we never get the balance right. Also, as men age, they take longer, skewing the balance again. lloydalter.substack.com/p/should-all...
Should all public washrooms be all-gender?
This is a biological, not a political problem: women have different needs than men, and everyone's needs are changing as we age.

What happens to Ukraine when the war ends? The Europeans won’t continue spending 60+ billion euros a year on funding their budget and it seems doubtful the economy will ever recover to where it was before the war
