You got yourself a new NewPipe subscriber, eager to hear the podcast about your friend

:3

Yeah, I guess so yeah. But in gay communities is veeery notorious, as 2 tops or 2 bottoms will be a big sexual incompatibility.

In case you are serious: opposite of bottoms.

In gay relationships there's usually a bottom (passive) person and a top (active) person.

It cares me dick. (Spanish)

Portal 2 has split screen, at least the PC version

Electric engines are robust as fuck. There aren’t a lot of wear parts

That is mentioned in the references, where a twice the expected for a rail-bases vehicle life is estimated. I never claimed otherwise.

You have to train bus drivers just like you have to train train drivers. In either case they are in the same or similar unions so will be paid similarly.

I know that any company requires training, I never claimed otherwise. However, I assure you that in several countries it is far easier to find a person capable of being trained for a BRT than a LRT, including mine where there's basically 0 train infrastructure. This higher skillet requirement, and therefore higher salary, is mentioned in the reference I posted.

AND that’s the whole point, you can couple train cars together. You can’t do that with buses.

I feel like you are confusing HRTs and LRTs. I see HRTs as better alternatives to BRTs, but BRTs as better than LRTs. Looking at some number online, Dalla's LRT has a very comparable capacity than that of Bogotá's BRT, as it is smaller per vehicle; I'm not saying this implies that BRT is better, as Bogotá's has in its fleet the biggest BRT in the world, just saying they are definitely comparable. Granted, this is not a systematic comparison, and you'll likely think I cherry picked, but I just chose Bogotá as that's where I live, and Dallas by looking at a guide to LRTs

This comes down to high initial cost just because that’s how it works and then lower operating cost.

Initial costs is usually paid in the form of loans, so it is an operating costs as well. This was mentioned in the reference.

I think it's fair if you consider I'm discussing in bad faith, this is not my field of expertise and I'm pretty ignorant in the topic, despite some efforts. However, I really think that my bad-faith is not out of sheer lazyness.

I mean, you are also trading 2 lifes for 1 life. Indecision has consequences as well, so you have to do a tradeoff.

El Salvador: 1829.9

That's number is Venezuela's. El Salvador is 1703.8. Note the data is from 2017, 2 years before Bukele became president.

I have no idea where the very few companies idea comes from.

Taken from the book I cited in the last comment: A rail system, by contrast, tends to be locked into a permanent dependence on one or two suppliers of rolling stock. While buses tend to use truck engines where the spare parts have over time come to be produced by alternative low cost producers on a massive scale, the manufacturers of rail technology tend to remain monopoly suppliers of their spare parts, as the market for them is far more limited. These monopolistic conditions tend to drive up the operating cost of rail rolling stock. There are only a few major rail manufacturers in the world today (i.e., Alstom, Bombardier, Hitachi, Kawasaki, and Siemens). The scale required to set up local rail manufacturing is unlikely to be achieved in most lower income nations. Instead, manufacturing (and the associated employment) will be based in higher income countries, such as France, Canada, Japan, or Germany. When a city such as Bangkok purchases its rail metro vehicles, the carriages arrive almost fully fabricated (Figure 2.1). This tends to make the vehicles far more expensive.

And it makes sense, as cars are more common than trains. That also seems to increase driver's salary, as it is easier by volume to find/train a driver for a bus than one for a LRT, given same capacity, and a LRT and BRTs have comparable capacities per vehicle.

These 2 mini-chapters talk further about costs of BRT, LRT and HRT, with several references and data based on real-world operations: Capital Costs and Operating costs

It is Nightmare difficulty, on a hidden level as well.

Hey, excuse me for the late answer, I was a bit busy, and wanted to have more time to read your comment.

Rail has some downsides with respect to maintenance: very few companies manufacter them, so maintenance costs are far higher. The required use of specialized tracks Aldo make these operations more complex, while a BRT can use normal roads if needed.

For me, underground metro systems are the better solution, then BRT then light rail, but this depends a lot on the realities of the cities: geography, budget, political will, etc.

I'm currently reading The BRT planning guide, and have been enjoying it. I think you'll do as well, as it discusses some nuances of public transport systems in specialized tracks (BRT, light rails and heavy rails) with real life examples, in a very friendly way for non-experts. I used to think metro is the obvious solution, but the book has been really opening my mind of a more complex reality. It has a slight bias in favor of BRTs tho, but the discussion is very interesting anyway.

It's more complex than that. A lot of the time the money mainly goes to foreigner companies. I know that happens here in Colombia, where Canadian companies get almost all profits for the extraction of esmeralds in Colombian soil.

Opposing to this in the remote regions where it is happening could get you killed, as said companies usually contract paramilitars to protect their interests, just like Coca-Cola did a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure the Sun's mass is way above 1.4 times the Earth's mass, thought.

They just told you you could be wrong, and to reconsider, in a very respectful way. Chill a bit mate.

Don't assume Google et al. will ever consider enough people buy their subscription. There's never enough money for these people.

Not accurate. Pi needs to be a normal number for that to happen, something yet to prove/disprove.

You can, it's literally the way the number is defined.

Rail is expensive, though. BRTs are 2-4 times cheaper than light rails.
