The original cities skylines had atrocious performance after a certain city size as well, especially on hardware available at launch. Hopefully they can deliver on better performance over the next few months, I expect it to improve before they do their console release.
No, it’s because you can trace at least some of this specific problem directly back to British imperial rule in the middle east.
I think you’re misreading it. In the same way as there are people that need to ride on planes (for example for their job, or to move to where they have a job, etc), there are people that need to use social media.
For example, if you own an online store you really need to have a social media presence. Same if you are an artist, and live off of commissions. I’m sure there are plenty more examples.
I try to live by the rule of I would rather be alive than dead. Being “right” is no consolation when you’re in a hospital bed dying.
The same goes for cars and especially bikers. You may be right, but being right doesn’t stop the giant SUV next to you from flattening you.
The whole point of this sub is advocating for changing that and getting rid of car centric development.
I find the wait times have gone up as they prioritise both drive thru and delivery options ahead of people actually at the counter.
I just hope it works so that people can shut up with the high speed rail only works in other places garbage. Just tell them to go visit california and see how good it is… Only works if they finish it so I hope they do.
But without main population centres is it going to be done successfully? Imo they should have started with one of the ends, so that at least there is a big trip destination.
Too late for that now and I really hope it works out and we get a good example for north american high speed rail projects to point to despite everything.
Whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose
“The Great Slump was an economic depression” the first paragraph on that Wikipedia page once you fix your link.
If we exclude mixed economies and state capitalist countries we are left with basically looking at historic record so let’s do that.
There were recessions in 15the century England, not a capitalist economy at all! There was also a recession in Rome in 33 AD as well if you want to look back further. This is just from 5 minutes of googling.
It is not possible to have an economy that never contracts, just to have one where it happens nowhere near as frequently as our current systems and with far better outcomes for most people.
It is also ergonomically horrible, to the point where I prefer to use the magic track pad over the mouse.
I feel all of these are relatively realistic and achievable by my workplace except for reliable public transit which is out of their hands. Thankfully they’re still remote first though there have been a few indications that this might change.
The about for the community is
A community dedicated to the discussion of anything surrounding anime, manga, manhwa, light novels, visual novels, and hentai.
And this isn’t out of line with other art that has been posted here before, this seems to me to fit the intention of the community well enough.
Via Rail is a complete disaster imo. They take the bad from air travel and bring it to rail. They act like their service is a premium luxury one, with huge numbers of staff per train, multiple checks of your tickets, etc.
One example of how bad their operations are (not to get into reliability which is a whole other problem) is that when arriving at a station they ask that you remain seated until the train is fully stopped, and then slowly help people get off. Contrast this with trains in Japan as an example, where the announcement says a stop is coming up soon, please be ready to get off as soon as the train doors are open.
In my opinion we don’t just need politicians riding Canadian trains. I want them to travel to Europe and Asia and then come back and suffer on via rail. It’s not just new dedicated tracks that are needed, it’s a complete restructure of the passenger experience!
