Current state of NY Penn->LA Union rail in this country is a total of 3,224 miles in 67 hours, assuming no delays and with a half-day layover at Union Station, Chicago. Which pretty much will be eaten up by 48's trip westbound from Albany. Usually.

Every Arabic speaking country in the world was defeated with these tactics btw
هذا اغبى تكتيك عسكري بالتاريخ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
التشكيلات الخطية كانت التكتيك القياسي في القرنين الـ18 والـ19. البنادق الناعمة كانت غير دقيقة وبطيئة التحميل (3 طلقات في الدقيقة تقريبا)، لذا سمحت الصفوف الكثيفة بنيران مركزة، والسيطرة على الجنود في دخان المعركة، والحماية من هجمات الفرسان.

How about we start actually listening to the guy who invented the IP instead of making up stuff?
Cyberpunk is never about you fighting Megacorps and going out as the winner, nor is it necessarily highly political siding. It is about finding your place in the world.
A Cyberpunk story can be about Rebellion, but it also can be about pretty much everything else. Mike Pondsmith’s world is not limited to “Let’s fight the big corporations.”
I feel like many people get this wrong, especially also when it comes to Johnny as well.
Please start listening when the man talks about his own world and what he tries to tell😭

And what exactly do you expect us to do? March to Warsaw and burn down CDPR's offices? Honestly, some of you need to move on. It's been almost 7 years. People buying the game today couldn't care less about its disastrous launch or the promises that were never fulfilled

What would America look like if 55 million Visas were cancelled?
If 55 million visas were cancelled overnight, America would change in ways few could imagine.
At first it would look chaotic. Hospitals short on nurses. Tech firms unable to staff support teams. Crops left to rot because migrant labor vanished. For a few months, the headlines would scream collapse. But then something else would happen.
Wages would climb. Trades and apprenticeships would surge. Colleges that depended on foreign tuition would close, but community colleges would thrive again as Americans re-trained. Housing prices in major cities would fall for the first time in decades. Renters would finally have leverage. Families that were priced out could buy homes again.
The GDP might dip at first, but the money would start circulating locally. People who thought they’d never matter in the economy would suddenly be needed again. The country would remember how to build, grow, fix, and teach without importing labor. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be ours.

Nothing is being input, only screen mode changes. You’re not paging thorough in split seconds on this for flight critical info.
@MCCCANM probably knows more and can speak to such things.
By the Great Maker, are they using electronic paper for it or something?
... now that I write that, it'd make a perverse amount of sense, in the name of "energy efficiency" or some other idiocy.

Costco is $1100/share, having 100 shares in itself is crazy. That's $110,000 in COST.

Yes running a store with $50M/year in revenue is a high-responsibility job. They can also hit a 40-50% bonus if they hit their numbers. And?

Update: wife met with the school counselor this morning while I was at work. I'm glad my lovely wife has handled it so far--because I would be losing my shit. I know myself; I couldnt handle it.
Anyway, the counselor can't do anything. Apparently the kid has an IEP (individualized education program)--which doesn't change anything. They seem to think that means something, but it doesn't at all. He threatened to rape my son. Threatened to find out where he lives to come rape him. That is sexual assault. That is intentional. My son couldn't know if that was an empty threat or not.
The counselor escalated it to the dean. My wife called the dean immediately, but he didnt answer, and he hasn't called back yet. I told her if it doesn't go well, I'll talk to him. I'll tell him he's a spineless coward, that he and his staff protect abusers. I'll tell him I'm going to call the police, get an investigation started. I'm going to lawyer up. Sue if I can. I'll contact the news. I'll make sure EVERYONE hears about it. I'll make this as messy as possible.
Get that violent little psycho away from--not just my kid, but everyone's kids at that school. No way in hell I'm sending my kid back until we get this resolved. ACTUALLY resolved. I need a guarantee that my son and this kid will never cross paths again. If they can't do that, then there's nothing to discuss. The wellbeing of the abuser is more important to them than the victim--my son.
Found out yesterday that my 11 year old has a gay (homosexual) bully at school. Going around telling people that my son and he are boyfriends. Threatening other kids with sexual violence when they deny it (we're trying to get specifics from my son; he's obviously mortified, can barely talk about it).
My wife's setting up a meeting at the school. My son stayed home today. I'm like, hell no you don't have to go to school with that stuff going on. This shouldnt be something any 11 year old has to deal with. That's straight up sexual harassment.
I hate this world. Going to shit. Normalizing homosexuality was the worst thing we ever did as a society. The beginning of the end. Can't put that cat back in the bag now tho.

Chandelier is such a good final mission theme. There's no grandeur of Megalith. No victory lap of The Unsung War. No exhilaration of Zero. No unity and hope of Song of Wings -As One-. Just one final sorrowful requiem. It's such a good contrast to every other final mission.

You are free to practice your religion and we are free to mock you for it.
Dear non-Muslims,
Please understand that Muslims have the right to practise Islam without being mocked.
We have the right to pray.
We have the right to wear our hijabs.
We have the right to avoid alcohol and pork.
We have the right to raise our children according to our faith.
You don't have to practise Islam to respect Muslims who do.
Religious freedom should apply to everyone.

Everyone operates on the prior that every service industry job is slogging for a shitty, probably foreign franchisee at McDonald's or Dunkin' who tries to squeeze $25/hr labor out of $12/hr payroll.

The deportations didn't go far enough. The one thing that the GOP ranked highed on going into the midterms was immigration. The border is finally closed and illegals are being shipped back. That is what the voters wanted and still want. The only people bitching about it happening are RINO shills who bend over for their big business donors who want illegally cheap labor and Dems who want more votes (everyone knows some non-citizens are voting)
