Are we going to automate air travel?

When the FUCK is the Northeast going to get High Speed Rail? Why does it take 9 hours to go from Pittsburgh to Philly? 4 hours to go NYC to Boston?

Does anyone have Flightradar gold and can tell me what my chances of getting a polar flight HEL-NRT AY73/AY74 are in November? I've feel like they are getting rarer the colder it gets.

what's stopping you from building and flying your own flying machine?

Bro ships are a joke

Things aren't getting any better... this is from August 12th. Are you willing to have this discussion yet, or is this so-called transportation board completely fake?

>The San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway (reporting mark SDAE) is a short-line American railroad founded in 1932 as the successor to the San Diego and Arizona Railway (SD&A), which was founded in 1906 by entrepreneur John Spreckels. Dubbed "The Impossible Railroad" by many engineers of its day due to the immense logistical challenges involved, the line was established in part to provide San Diego with a direct rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad lines in El Centro, California.
>the railroad has a checkered history, with periodic disruptions in service to rockslides, storms, fires, and derailments, and has never been profitable
>the line ceased being used in its entirety decades ago and has been bounced around by owner to owner ever since
>at present, only a fraction of the line in San Diego, Mexico, and Campo is actively used, with the rest being left to decay

Here's my questions:

1. Were the "Impossible Railroad's" issues inherent to the climate and terrain, or more so the technological/economic limitations at the time of its construction (the railroad was built with anachronistic infrastructure such as wooden trestles)?

2. If funding could secured, would it be possible to rehabilitate or even rebuild the line in its entirety using modern engineering techniques to negate the hazards that plagued its previous incarnations?

3. What services could be provided to make the line economical, or even turn an actual profit? Obviously there's tourism, Carrizo Gorge attracts thousands of tourists a year (many of whom come to gawk at the ruins of the railway). I recently found out that the Mexican portion of the line is used to host the Tijuana-Tecate Tourist Train (pic related, several gallery cars that were originally intended for it but ultimately left unused) and has proven quite popular. But I'm also wondering industries could be served or even if a US-Mexico commuter service would be feasible (ignoring current diplomatic issues)

I am suffering from severe insomnia. I tried melatonin but it’s not working anymore. It used to always work. I don’t know what to do anymore help

Looks fun!

I am thinking of buying packraft starter pack, how does TPU Nylon handle fishing hooks? Anyone got experience? How do these handle windy conditions?
