The chicago blue line is pretty good for exactly what they are talking about.
The Blue Line is wonderful. I remember when they were building it out from Jefferson Park to O'Hare. I couldn't wait to ride it. It would be nice if they could do something about the curves between Milwaukee and Chicago, which slows down the ride, but those are some old, very nice neighborhoods and it's probably not a good idea to displace them.
I lived there, until immediately after Hurricane Harvey. And I lived in the Museum District, one block from the Metro going downtown. Houston has several times the population of Chicago, but they can barely fill a four-car Metro train during rush hour.
There's basically one real Metro line for a metropolitan area of 8.5 million people that's almost as big as the state of Delaware. And the Metro doesn't even go to Minutemaid Park or NRG stadium or the Toyota center. So if you wanna go to a Texans, Astros or Rockets game, it's automobile or no deal.
I personally do not see how any surface based approach can possibly cost less than the tunnel approach or be put in as quickly given the huge amount of problems it takes to put in a new rail line over long existing areas.
Well, you wouldn't have the expense of digging a goddamn tunnel.
Further, there are existing rail right-of-ways that are unused or underused all along the route from O'Hare to downtown Chicago. The city doesn't even know what to do with them. They've turned some into bike paths, but they hardly get used because you can safely bike anywhere in Chicago.
I'm sure it's good PR for Elon to be bidding on these contracts, but he's not going to get one in Chicago. Maybe it would make sense in a place like Houston, but there are so few people riding existing public transportation there, that I'm not sure anyone would use it. People love their cars in Houston, because for 10 months out of the year the weather is so bad you really can't go outside even for a walk from the parking lot to the Metro trains.
Really hate the way/. requires explicit line breaks between lines. I hit CR, isn't that enough of a hint? Do I really need ?

After 10 months the Trump administration already has far more rigorous sanctions in place than the Obama administration accomplished, and Trump's team did it with the United Nations and diplomacy, including diplomacy with allied nations.
There have been sanctions on North Korea (even more stringent than the current ones) on and off for decades. They've never worked.
Trump loves to point to the status quo and then credit himself with a win. You're so besotted with him that you buy it every time.
When the revolution comes, bitcoin owners will be first against the wall. Actually, they'll be second against the wall, immediately after billionaire Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and his trophy wife who took pictures of themselves at the mint rubbing fresh currency on themselves to get off.
And it will be easy to know who owns bitcoins, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY OWN BITCOINS.
The main problem with net neutrality is everyone has their own definition. Wu's is just one.
This is what the alt-right and "fake news" would want you to believe. "Nothing has meaning, so any bad thing we do can be framed as good. The truth cannot be known, so just believe Trump."
In fact, there are clear and concise definitions of Net Neutrality to be had. Found this easily.
But wait, I thought these guys were a private corporation and they weren't obligated to provide you a platform or anything. First amendment only applies to rules made by the government, not private corporations. Isn't that what you lefties always claim when it comes to facebook and google shitting on anyone that doesn't see eye to eye with them?
Well then, just count this as Comcast and the others not seeing eye to eye with you. Consider it "their free speech."
You can't possibly be as stupid as you look.
I'll tell you what: you think long and hard about what you've written here today. Read it over and read it aloud to someone else. I'll bet you'll figure out the two logical fallacies and three factual inaccuracies you made in those four simole sentences. Go ahead, do it now. I"ll wait here.
How about going to/r/space and being shadow banned for unpopular (but backed up with numbers) opinion because you happen to have worked on rockets and you end up arguing with a 6th grader
The problem came when you tried to get the 6th grader to meet you at a public restroom.
A much better solution would be to set up a microcell in the area you intend to control. It could allow phone calls and data to pass through or not, depending on a white list.
All you have to do to convince Trump to do this is tell him the "white list" will only allow communications by white people.

No, we didn't. That's stupid. Nobody ever said that about the automobile, and the radio and the TV.
I'm pretty sure we said it about the Apple Watch though. At least I said it.

What'd I tell you? I said aliens coming. I tole you and you didn't listen.
They're our space brothers coming to protect the President from all the haters and libs. Oh, it's happening, now. Bet on it. Check fucking mate.
The way we're going, by 2030 we may living in caves again.
Maybe we can mine for clean coal while we're there.
Yetis are mutated bears, like the yao guai, which are totally real because I killed a mess of them in the Boston area.

How do you think I met my first two wives?
They'll become strippers like God intended.
But what becomes of strippers without glitter? I think we need to put our foot down on this anti-glitter hysteria before it does permanent damage.
There have been sanctions on North Korea (even more stringent than the current ones) on and off for decades. They've never worked.
Trump loves to point to the status quo and then credit himself with a win. You're so besotted with him that you buy it every time.
Even though by every objective measure he's doing *far* worse?
If by "adults", you mean Putin, I have to say I'm not quite comfortable putting "this mess" in his hands.
Trump is the only one who promised he'd solve the North Korea situation because he's such a tremendous dealmaker.
So what you're saying is that at best, he's par for the course. "Par" is not what we were told to expect.
It's not "par" when you've made the situation measurably worse.
No, Strat. It's not "yet another group". It's the group that's been spearheading the fight to educate and advocate for Net Neutrality.
If you want to find out what something is, don't you think the people that asking the people who know most about it would be a good place to start?
The fight is young. Legislation is the way to go, but first we're going to have to get those Republican jackoffs out of there.
Trump is doing a magnificent job. One of the all-time great brains. His tough talk has really put Kim Jong-un in his place.

Excuse me, dumbshit. Your firewall is not selling you bandwidth.
I bet if you think long and hard on the difference between an ISP and a firewall, you will figure it out.

This is the only correct opinion.

It is written so in the Alabama bible.
