Slashdot Mirror
Man Builds His Own Subway
jerryjamesstone writes "Everybody is into rail these days; it is the greenest way to get around next to a bike. Leonid Mulyanchik has been into it for years since before the Berlin Wall fell, since before the first Macintosh, building his own private underground Metro railway system. English-Russia says that he has been doing it with his pension, that it is all legal and approved and that he is still at it. Gizmodo calls it 'Partly the traditional, inspiring, one man against all odds type of persistence, but more the obsessive, borderline insane persistence.'"
Update: 06/02 07:33 GMT by T : And if you're the type to visit Burning Man, you can actually ride a home-made monorail this summer, too.
This was on DIGG 3 days ago. Is Slashdot becoming a DIGG mirror or what?

You're posting post your opinion as fact. They are different things. Please don't confuse them.
...I'm building my own internet. Yeah. Using whatever I can find, spare copper, terminals, old POS systems, switches, whatever. I don't care that there already is one, and that it will be years behind in technology, I'm just going to do it.

Confirmation bias. You only notice the bicyclists that piss you off so you associate that obnoxiousness with all cyclists.
Here's an experiment, next time you take out your 2 ton penis compensation mobile try actually paying some fucking attention make a conscious effort to disregard your biases and see if you can't spot the vast majority of cyclists that follow the rules of the road (at least as much as anyone else does in this country, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish there...). You might just be surprised...
