Having worked for the MTA on the subway system years back, I invite you all to remember that we built one of the very first subway systems in the world, definitely first in scale, knowing we’d make mistakes in implementation, along with a lot of successful ideas.
Everyone else learns from our mistakes, we gladly hosted the engineering team from Los Angeles and Bangkok when they wanted to share notes with us.
With almost 200miles/320km of public tracks, this is easily the most successful mass transit system internationally. "BuT gWaFiTi BaD :( "
One could make a similar post of a clean American city and European cities with graffiti everywhere.
Most all major cities have graffiti. I will say that I’m pretty surprised at the number of EU cities that have massive graffiti everywhere. The US has issues, but a lot of larger graffiti is limited to poorer, less-traveled or more inaccessible areas. EU? Huge graffiti right across shop fronts roll-down shutters on the Main Street. Surprising.
France is a shit hole compared to most US cities, and I’m VERY well traveled. Spain? Absolutely the opposite. Cleanest cities I’ve ever seen and some of the nicest architecture too.
This crap isn’t a monolith, and the US has plenty of good mass transportation systems.
Hi friend, please reread and note the caveat, “one of the very first”, which position number 5 certainly includes.
Also, a bit childish to want to rank systems based on creation date. If you feel like “losing”, please read on:
NYC total system length is about 800 miles (1.1km)
yearly ridership: 1.8bn rides
If we count the el’s (elevated rapid transit, which is still running), first ride was in iirc 1868.
But look, the important thing is that both our countries (presuming you live in the UK) have nice mass transit systems to keep cars off the roads. I look forward to visiting your country and riding its underground system at some point.
When somebody says one of the first it implies by time (and US was 30 years later. ) Thus why that link I posted rates them by creation date. If you had claimed by best subway by milage I would link to which one ranks them by order of mileage. If I feel like losing. LOL It isn’t a zero sum game we are playing, Just facts I linked. Sorry you feel so offended. Hope you have a good new year.
Yeah, by saying first it would mislead people into thinking USA were pioneers, but they were actually fifth because it took USA longer to institute. Not judging, just saying…and it makes sense because UK has been a country with cities for thousands of years, while USA is relatively new…with a slower need to get people moved
No kidding, this mickey fella seems like a dick and animal abusers, and this is actually the censored version too, which means the original is even more brutal (I think they removed the part where mickey kicks the baby pigs).
And it’s pretty ignorant. If it were a picture of the white house instead of who’s in it for a couple years then it wouldn’t be so dumb. Better would be a picture of Congress.
Right?! American foreign policy is pretty much exactly the same regardless of who is in the oval office, well except for 45 who was somehow managed to run foreign policy even worse than the status quo.
Dude, I went to deliver the beers for the family new years eve party earlier on the 31st and my SIL mande up a fight about nothing as soon as I walked in and told me I shouldn’t go to the party. I paid for the beer! She kept it all and now my family don’t speak to me because “I wasn’t at the party”. 2024 began with me crying alone at home with no money for pizza because I bought beer for everyone. FML
You should try to explain to the family why you weren’t there (if they’ll listen)
But honestly if they’re being so petty of you missing 1 party it might be time to look more deeply at the kind of relationships you have with them
Personally I haven’t seen most of my relatives in years due to a great many of them being really shitty people or being complacent when those shittier relatives are being shitty. And it’s been pretty nice how much my stress levels have gone down during the holidays.
Family is the relationship, relatives are blood. Just because someone is related to you doesn’t mean they’re family.
family schmamily. surrounding yourself with people who care about you because they want to and not because they’re family takes time, but in the end you’re worth it.
Each service is a separate docker-compose.yml, but they are more-or-less the same as the example configs provided by each service. I did it this way as opposed to a single file to make it easier to add/remove services following this pattern.
I do have a higher quality version of the diagram, but had to downsize it a lot to get pictrs to accept it…
Ah your instance must be limiting the size. lemmy.dbzer0.com allows you to upload anything and just downscales to 1024px max dimention. You can also just host on imgur etc.
