Anon drives a bus
  • A few years ago the same thing happened to me. There was someone who wasn't doing to good, on top of the station building on the next stop along throwing tiles and other things off. The operator got some replacement busses, that I couldn't get as I had my bike. So I just sat there with someone else who could get on as they had their dog. For about 4-5 hours. Sucked allot as I was tired, the dog was cute though.

  • Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare
  • I really hope in the next few years we see a revolution in short distance transport. Most journeys are less than 3 miles (if I remember correctly, could be 5) a perfect distance for e-bikes, e-scooters and normal acoustic bikes. Hopefully at least some places capitalise on it

  • Metals are made of crystals, they usually defourm along the grain boundaries and fatigue cracks also grow along them. By eliminating those boundaries you reduce the chance for fatigue cracks and make the overall blade stronger.

    London Paddington-Reading trains disrupted by landslip
  • It's a double edged sword as the trees put leaves on the line that make it slippery and can fall on it for trains to hit. They do stabilise steep cuttings though. Something like soil nails or other erosion control measures, combined with smaller trees and bushes would be ideal however more expensive

  • So many things wrong, we were never the envy of Europe, we were the cash cow of Europe. European state operators ran our services for profit to subside their own.

    The rolling stock leasing companies are the place where all the money goes, I would rather see them nationalised than the franchises themselves. However as they are owned by the banks we can't touch them.

    Also the claim that privatisation increased passenger numbers is wrong, they were going up before.

    Additionally the idea that the private system is cost effective is wrong aswell. The subsidy paid out to the rail is higher now than under BR.

  • It doesn't have to necessarily be $1000 per month, it should be the minimum amount of money needed to have food, clothing, shelter etc. just enough to live off. For me £1000 per month is plenty for where I live.

    It also isn't just about encouraging higher pay, knowing that workers are not longer worried about putting food on the table when they are voting to strike might influence management decisions on redundancys or workplace safety.

    For people who earn 100k, and are living at their means (i.e, spending that amount of money on better food, housing, clothes and other luxurys) it would be a big jump but for the people who would most benifit from ubi it would be more manageable.

    Also apologies for replying so late, I either closed the notification accidentally or just never got one.

  • It's not that it makes 110 k jobs immediately available, it's that is gives you more leverage with negotiating pay as if you walk away you are not under threat of starving to death. As you would potentially be if you had no income between jobs.

    Where to recycle treadmill?
  • Is the motor sparking is places it shouldn't. If it's the type of motor I think is likely to be there (brushed universal motor) it will spark where the brushes are. So your problem might just be normal operation of the motor. Could also be fucked, difficult to know without more detail

  • Have you ever seen this type of print failure?
  • That is a very odd failure so not 100% sure. If I had to take a punt I would say the nozzle jammed from the mentioned heat creap issue, eventually the silk pla broke in the extruder as it's very brittle, combined with retractions. It then was then able to work its way out and make some noodles for you to enjoy.
