I love the concept of sleeper trains, but I struggle to properly sleep on the seated version (and the Caledonian Sleeper's beds are like 5x more expensive).

The cal sleeper splits and joins at a couple of points (which I find really cool), but it's very loud and jolty.

I'd say you only really "need" a private cabin style sleeper for trips longer than 2 days.

The weirdo Talgo night train of the DB Intercity Night actually had something like that. You had mini-cabins with two seats across from each other. You could pull those seats together to make one bed and pull down a bunk from above the window to make a second one.

Plants have mechanisms for concentrating CO2 when it is truly limiting. Also note that at 400ppm on your graph (where we were a decade or so ago) it is 90% of the way to optimal.

At 100 PPM of CO2 the rate of photosynthesis would be stopped completely. At 150 PPM the plants begin to respire, and photosynthesis is stopped.
-By the time continuous observations began at Mauna Loa Volcanic Observatory in 1958, global atmospheric carbon dioxide was already 315 ppm. Carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in human history.
-Ordovician period, 500 million years ago. At the time, atmospheric CO2 concentration was at a whopping 9000 ppm

>when the ironic schizo turns out to be an actual schizo

A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.

While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.

“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”

He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.

If not a game, what software would you use to make model junctions and rail systems? /diy/ has solidworks, autocad, etc. Unironically a dumb game like OpenTTD seems to be the best option for exercising what you learn in your hobby, at least for free (so, not including real model railways.)

Why does Switzerland not draw this false dichotomy between low-demand regional services and high-demand commuter services then? Whatever your fallacious appeal to authority, Switzerland actually does exactly that which you say is a bad thing to do, and it does so quite successfully.
Spouting phrases like
>Because resources are finite
over a matter of running some regional trains which costs a fraction of whatever white elephant projects you can imagine is such a ridiculously reductionist position to take. You can make the same argument for absolutely anything that doesn't attend to the most essential necessities. You want a playground for the kids? Wew lad no can do because that one line is running over capacity during rush hour. A museum you say? Nah think of the commuters. Preserving a historic building? While people have to ride crowded trains???

But apart from that, you simply disregard the capillary effect of low-demand lines, which is two-fold: First off, those low-demand lines usually feed into other lines. You close them, the next less travelled line loses patronage. Then you close that one down. And the next and the next. You end up with a skeleton train network. Secondly, there's the issue of actually offering citizens the possibility of moving around everywhere without a car, not just densely populated regions. You can't expect people to ride transit as a habit if they can only move around certain lines.

In any case, what I suggested was a conceptual question, that can not definitely be answered from a technical point of view, and pretending to take a "merely technical" position on it to then argue your ideology is one of the lowest kinds of dishonest argument that there is. Just be honest and say that you don't think that a country should offer transportation as a continuous basic service to its population, but only offer it there where it makes economic sense. Don't hide behind supposed technicisms.
>>
>>1987047
>Switzerland is much smaller and decentralised, but their network would probably collapse under the rush hour traffic of a city like Sendai, Kawasaki or Sapporo.
But we aren't talking about rush hour in big cities. Arguing that Switzerland couldn't handle such rush hour traffic doesn't prove anything in regard to hiw much sense it makes to run a few regional trains in low-density regions. It's apples and oranges.
>>
>>1987269
>Who in his right mind would put his name on this site?
I'm not saying he should, but if you don't want to asked to provide some sort of proof of expertise don't bring it up in the first.
>I can into Japanese and his source is valid.
In that it exists, yes. It doesn't get great reviews on JP Amazon and furthermore doesn't seem to be the Swiss/Japan comparison he claims it to be.

Real reason: Social media and boomers retiring.
In the past times, you'd see cable news or a YouTube channel devote like 10 seconds to a plane suffering a mechanical failure. Now with the rise of short form content you have every zoomer on tiktok filming reactions to the footage, reactions to other people's reactions, going AW HELL NAW NUH UH I AIN'T FLYING IN NO BOEING 837
Also Boomers have been retiring and they take their institutional knowledge with them. Some crusty old boomer mechanic with 40 years under his belt at the same company knows how to direct a repair crew better than a job hopping Xoomer or millennial. Same with pilots. Even the early Gen X pilots are at retirement age now and we're starting to see less military presence in the cockpit.

It's obvious something went wrong in a way that the pilot knew the blame would fall in some way on the cockpit crew, so he just made up a lie in expectation that the incident wouldn't get to any actual investigation or he thought that no one was hurt and the lie would smooth things over. Planes don't just turn off mid air and start diving straight down, even if there is a rollover bug. Everyone knew about it and honestly if you leave the plane running for 23 days straight then I'm not sure what the airline is doing anyway.
