You too can experience the Odyssee thanks to the wonders of the Deutsche Bahn

And is this train due in 0 minutes in the station with us right now?

I think kids should be taught the joys of wearing headphones on public transport very early in their lives

For those of you outside the US trying to understand our recent current events, here's a fact sheet on US Health Insurance Companies:

They are all run by cartoon villains

The only way they make money is by denying as many people care as possible

They get to decide which medicines and procedures you get to have, not your doctor

They also get to decide how much they pay doctors for covered procedures, regardless of the billed cost for those procedures

You typically have to pay a significant deductible on top of your monthly premiums before they'll even pay out at all

They don't literally consume human souls in a parasitic bid to live forever, but they metaphorically consume human souls in a parasitic bid to live forever.

[sbb-cff-ffs-official]

And you don’t even get any trains :(

Do you know what this is and do you own one

I know what it is and I own one (from the U.S.)

I know what it is and I own one (from Europe)

I know what it is and I own one (from somewhere else: Tell me where)

I know what it is and I don't own one (from the U.S.)

I know what it is and I don't own one (from Europe)

I know what it is and I don't own one (from somewhere else: Tell me where)

I don't know what it is for (from the U.S.)

I would put vanilla extract in that

Ok, to prove to my husband that this is more a European device than a U.S. device I am going to need more non-US people to reblog this.

Do not reblog for science. No science will be happening. Reblog to help me prove a point!

(If I am right I will show him this poll. If I am wrong he will never know this happened)

Today is 11/11

or 11/11 if you are using a completely fucking barbaric system of keeping track of dates

There's no one's wisdom that's less valuable than this

What source of passive income allows him to just print money like this?

[ralfmaximus]

An ‘unlimited’ annual pass with free parking is $1600/year (up from $1400 when he completed his record 2012-2020). And yeah, that’s over $116 a month and not how I’d spend my money but it’s not obscene.

Plus, he’s an older dude with free time every day. DL is a safe venue to walk around and kill time if all you have is time to kill, and from the article it seems he’s built quite the social network of Disney regulars & cast members. So good for him.

The Disney corporation hates people like him, btw. 

Disney considers AP holders parasites, clogging the parks, taking up space that could be better utilized by Big Spending out-of-town visitors. Which is why the price for an AP has gone up so dramatically ALONG WITH a zillion new restrictions like blackout days + reservation requirements.

Up until 2013 or so it was common for local families to buy their kids Annual Passes then drop them off at the park every day during summer as cheap childcare. Seriously, $100/month is a bargain.

[fishmech]

thats just the admission and parking though, the park tends to be pretty strict on how much food and drink you can bring in and none of the options inside are cheap, even with the like 10% discount before tax and tips the annual pass holder gets.

[ralfmaximus]

You’re absolutely right! 

But AP holders usually don’t buy food & drink inside the parks... unless you’re DisneyFoodBlog or Jenny Nicholson. Another reason Disney hates on passholders.

Most AP holders hit one of the kazillion affordable restaurants outside the park on their way in or out, then carry a water bottle once inside to stay hydrated. And most visits aren’t the all-day-long thing out of towners do; AP folk will kill an hour or two, ride Indiana Jones or the Matterhorn then leave.

The guy in the article appears to have visited once a day just to walk a lap or two for exercise. He wasn’t staying all day, dealing with hotel room reservations, rental car, airline tickets, souvenirs, or any of the expenses a tourist would have.

[gayahithwen]

The real insanity is how the US is so lacking in safe public third places that for some people, an annual pass to Disney is their best shot at having a walkable outdoor space and some semblance of community.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Well our hopes of High Speed Rail projects in the US will be shelved till 2028, I think Brightline West might survive, but California High-speed Rail is very unlikely to get funding over the next 4 years and I doubt the Texas High-speed Rail project will even break ground

[sbb-cff-ffs-official]

I hope Stadler cancels its US contracts, you don't deserve our trains

[sbb-cff-ffs-official]

Boop me like I'm a train

Hey guys i do exist, just been fiddling with Minecraft trains

[british-rail]

Theres a better screenshot from when i did a triple header (my locos the one at the back)

[welshdrummer-official]

I wanna know how you got such detailed locos

[british-rail]

Its a mod called immersive railroading, people create their own packs for it with whatever they want (there are some base mod ones but they're not great), im a member of a big server with plenty of them, the locos in the second pic are fictional locos created specifically for the server
