Hi, I am only backup thread creator so if RMS has a good OP and posts soon let’s go with that thread instead. But in the interest of early morning chatting I’m creating the thread. All I ask is that we restrict all discussion to the topic of Fred. Thank you.

    I did all that late-thread shitposting. And for what? Geth looked at me, there was a moment, and they chose someone else

    I picked a wrong time to go check out the new Grand Central Station here.

    Eight train platforms but no trains

    Are there a lot of places to sit at least?

    A bunch round the entrance and at the bus terminals. Feels minimalist.

    Also went to the old Great Victoria Station and the platforms are blocked from view. Bittersweet in a way

    That's sad to hear. The new Penn Station got complaints because of this. I feel like it's partially hostile architecture and partially for "security", but it still sucks

    (Although there are seats for ticket holders, there isn't nearly enough space in those cordoned-off sections)

    Me watching my crew set the locks, work the paddles, open the lock gates, operate the swing bridges, make the tea, cook luck: hmm yes, this is an equitable division of labour

    Me getting up an hour earlier because she didn't have to do any of that on the first stretch and she wanted a lie in: what the fuck, this is bullshit, abolish the crew system

    These are some nice proposals, but a Mid-Ulster Branch that maybe goes Dungannon - Cookstown - Magherafelt - Maghera - Dungiven - Limavady wouldn't go amiss

  • RMS OceanicRMS Oceanic Registered User regular
    Or if the Glenshane pass is too awkward for rail, a Dungannon - Cookstown - Magherafelt - Toome - Antrim loop so you can ride round Lough Neagh in a circle.

    On that Seattle talk from last thread, it's just hard to hang out. It takes forever to get from any one part of the city to any other part, and anything you wanna go do is gonna be overcrowded and overpriced. Like when me, Amy, and Tumin went bowling, we had to go somewhere that was way out of the way for everyone just for it to be affordable because the places that were easier to get to wanted like $270 up front for a lane reservation.

    Ireland's rail system atrophied badly during the 20th century, these are the plans to try and revive them.

    The US atrophied less than 40 years after we built it and then we abandoned it to the one God Henry Ford.

    so dumb.

    The key is to live in SeaTac and have small children so you never go anywhere or do anything.
