Given the age 10 cutoff I highly suspect some parents were using it as free daycare. Librarians aren't teachers or daycare workers. This town's priority is not having the library go bust because of a lawsuit after some 7 year old gets hurt.

The actual reason is that the child seats have to go in the back. Not kidding, there was a study. As soon as the law passed the deaths skyrocketed. Parents just forget their kid is in the back seat.

Millennial has always been poorly defined.
What it should be is digital native and entered workforce after 2008.
Gen Z should be a smart phone native.

You don't see the countless times they do this where the person doesn't die. It's normalized to beat people up who disrespect them.
It turns out that

This wasn't necessary when crime was many times worse in the 80s, but it's necessary today?

I wouldn't say dumb, they just have uncomplicated motivations.
You know that bar at the bottom of some Wikipedia pages that reads "List of Cognitive Biases"? It's unvarnished that.

This was actually studied. It's because pickpocketing is a high skill profession that requires a master to teach the craft. The US's very long prison sentences ultimately take the masters out of circulation and the craft dies.
@tracybrisson
Usually telling a creditor that the person died is enough to stop the convo there and then. Healthcare probably gets this enough to keep trying.

If properties get developed, then people get bankrupted in a hurry. However the chance of completing a block based on just landing on the squares is practically nill, so everyone just gets single properties and the game never ends.

GM extraordinare almost extended service to Atlantic City in the 1970s by employing every cost cutting trick in the book. Unfortunately NJ government passed on the concept and waited for the full RR rebuild in 1989. 🎄 1/2

In reality most casual game players are super risk averse and they immediately know that the person offering to trade is going to get the better end out of it. The Monopoly ROI heat maps can now score trades which confirms ppls intuition.

Since the results have already happened and the only thing missing is the reveal, I wouldn't actually have a problem with the producers knowing ahead of time if it creates a better show.
Wow, major good fortune

Spain is probably one of the better examples of how its strategically bad to cede control of "empty" parts of a country to right wing nationalists.
The fact that the Strasburg Rail Road, chartered in 1832 and best known for its steam programme, can build a transload facility that handles 500 cars a year shows how much carload traffic Class 1s leave on the table.

There's a lot of previous generation ATGM's employed on this battlefield and ERA is a probabilistic countermeasure. Tanks are absolutely going to survive some hits.

Recently learned they shot them like giant movie productions w/o show runners, pilots or show bibles. The seasons would be shot as written and if something didn't work they would have to do expensive film style re-shoots.
I was taking with a friend who runs in rail engineering circles and he had a few insights on the Acela II order.
Thread to follow, but TLDR he's not sure that greater than 125mph operation is viable on the NEC.

Why would criminals come to the US when the justice system is so much more lax in the rest of the world. People who come to the US are the ones who want to make an honest living, but can't due to crime in their home country.

The internet provides more freedom than a vehicle ever could and at a lower price point. If I wanted to play an RPG with a buddy in the 90's, or watch a piece of media together, you had to physically travel and meet up. Today its all remote.

Locomotive engineer is a super skilled job. Workers at Class 1's are just stuck due to the seniority system. To change employers is to start at the bottom all over again.

This gets back to why I am so angry at the 1981 Millennial start date. Kids younger than that still had typewriter classes in school and spent ALL their youth using land lines unless they were suspiciously wealthy.

"All the operator has to do" translates to "I am underestimating the training requirements of this weapon system."
SACLOS systems require time behind a simulator. Might not be much, but its some. Tracking a fast flying air target is not super simple.

I'd be interested in the alternate history where geopolitical forces collude to never teach Germany a lesson and by 2020 its on like a sixth Reich.

The explanation was that the inland WWC was looking for an outsider who could stand up to the (coastal) powers that took all the jobs and opportunity. When Obama failed to halt the decline and ostensibly let Wall St off the hook, his voters looked for a new outsider to back.

UA is likely to be extremely careful in risking its offensive power. UA has the advantage on defense and also might also face an emergency like an eastern encirclement.
This morning Amtrak tried to send an inbound R2 via the high line and somehow the engineer didn't notice and get stopped before the end of the wire. Passengers xfered to the next train that pulled up along side. Might be a good photo op.
On a Septa train in Southwest Philly. Power went out and we stopped. Operator to conductor: “I need a radio up here. I think Amtrak routed us wrong. This is not good.” Amtrak just whooshed by

Doesn't the S-200 out-range comparable western systems?
We should encourage Poland to covertly give UA its recently re-tired S-200 system that had a bunch modern upgrades to it. Wait... 🤔

I was in an airport yesterday and I couldn't understand the point of Clear. TSAPre does the same job at a better price point. Clear seems like a 0% interest rate phenomena given how many staff it needs and how few ppl use it.
@alanthefisher
This crap is always the worst because rail access increases property values.
Unlike exclusivity, these movements are benefit just the 5 people who border the tracks and either are super noise sensitive or like using the RoW as an extension of their property.

The non-working, chronically homeless have burned every bridge over many years. Often due to mental health or addiction issues. Google the story of the former mayor of Bend Oregon.

DC Metro tried going without for decades and seemed to decide a one time cost was better than constant escalator breakdowns. Especially given some of their stations depths.

"Two decades ago, this was relatively rare. But in the early 1990s, car-safety experts declared that front airbags could kill children and recommended child seats be moved to the back of the car; then, for even more safety, the baby seats be pivoted to face the rear."

MAGA cares about ordinal prosperity and social status more than cardinal prosperity. They'd rather live in a tent if it meant their social rivals were living in cardboard boxes.

Amtrak also indemnifies CSX for any liability, even where CSX is at fault. CSX track defects derailed an Amtrak train ~2000, families sued CSX, won, but Amtrak had to pay the damages.

It's because our aggressive criminal justice system locked up the masters, needed to teach the craft, for long periods of time and the local knowledge went poof.

Better to die young than become Elmo. If Jobs could fall for Homeopathy, imagine what else he could get into. Creating "offramps" for eccentric billionaires is probably good for society. That system almost worked with Howard Hughes.
Does anyone know why the last southbound weekday Amtrak train leaves Philly at 9:30pm? If I recall there used to be Regionals leaving NYP after midnight. I feel like Amtrak's lack of schedules makes it harder to notice service cuts.
The Strategic Rail Corridor Network or STRACNET is the never discussed reason that high level platforms are so problematic. The military has clearance requirements and they can call the FRA and kibosh any corridor plan that might interfere. 1/2

@Amtrak
introduced a new price point in response to all of those who were complaining about high fares. These are BWI-PHL ~30 days out.
I do recall a market survey about a new service tier similar to Spirit airlines so the low fares might come with a high cost😬

States regulating out informal child care operations in residential housing gets surprisingly little coverage. I got dumped in a family room with 10 other toddlers watching pinwheel while my parents worked.
