Periodic reminder to check your voter registration. In Georgia the last day to register for the general is October 8th, so check this month, and early next month. -
Dragon Con weekend in Atlanta always feels like a glimpse of downtown Atlanta's potential: packed trains on MARTA, frequent transit service with fast transfers, sidewalks overflowing with pedestrians...Dragon Con weekend in Atlanta always feels like a glimpse of downtown Atlanta's potential: packed trains on MARTA, frequent transit service with fast transfers, sidewalks overflowing with pedestrians...
But it also exposes the flaws that hold downtown back: lack of restaurants open on weekends, entire blocks with nothing but parking garages, absurdly wide streets to cross...

I'm not saying that we should murder everyone involved with this project, that would be illegal. What I *am* saying is that #Atlanta and the world would be a much better place if someone did do that.@bdatlrides @sam @wesley oh wow so there are some of these already deployed? I'm interested in what the issues were (are?).
I mean I'm not going to say there's never going to be a situation where autonomous pods are the solution to transportation, but as it is they are just trains but worse. They are not a solution to mass transit from the airport to downtown.
They're trying to claim they cost less than rail to build (which might be true?), but we've already built the rail so it's a moot point. And there is absolutely no way you can ever move as many people as rail with individual pods that only carry a few people at a time. Even if the vehicles can move at high speeds cause they're autonomous or whatever you're still going to be bottlenecked by people entering/exiting the vehicles a handful at a time.
Anyway, end rant lol

"Executives say its compact AVs can move people at rates comparable to rail at a fraction of the cost"
Total BS straight from the factory

Looks like there's a short term, 44% off sale in the USA on Breville's Swiss Army Knife of auto drip brewers, the Precision Brewer with the thermal carafe.@coffeegeek I wonder how you think this compares to the OXO Brew 8 cup model. I'm not really thinking of getting a new one, I'm curious since that's what I have
