Yup. The main difference between a patriot and a nationalist - or fascist - is a few years and an opportunity.

I mean at least this version looks like a cute chicken:

If it can accelerate without pedal-assist, it’s not an ebike in many jurisdictions, likely including Japan.

Knowledge.

Why are there scientists here on Earth studying the most boring subjects imaginable to anyone but them? Why does every tiny organism have a small, but dedicated group of scientists studying it at some point?

We must know - we will know! is a quote which represents humanity well. A factually wrong quote since we will not know everything but, an objective nonetheless. Why should other species believe different?

It’s making fun of Americans who believe that children who go trick or treating are getting candy laced with fentanyl.

It survived longer than the Nazi reign did though

14.5 years compared to ~12

Yeah fair enough. Japan has great rail, I’m just frustrated that prestige projects like HSR seem to be everyone’s focus.

HSR is important, but local trains and freight trains are equally as important even though they get much less attention.

In my European mind, a BAC of 0.26 refers to a BAC of 0.26‰ which is fairly low, due to the lack of units.

But it referred to a BAC of 2.6‰, which is extremely high.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

2.6‰ for us Europeans btw, America uses %

0.26‰ would only be slightly drunk with minor impairments, with that BAC you should be able to correct most “autopilot” mistakes

Mind describing it? (If you don’t, please put it in a spoiler for those who don’t want to read it)

But Switzerland has these tiny local stations too.

For example, this one:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alp_Grüm_railway_station

It’s a tiny station with 440 passengers per weekday - yet it seems that two train lines, one of which is hourly stop there. Most of the passengers are likely commuters, so the bulk of all passengers will be during morning and evening rush hour. Outside these hours, hardly anyone uses this station I believe - yet trains still stop there.

(Note: I have just searched for “Least used train stations Switzerland” and picked a random result, this might be an exception. But it goes to show that stations with few passengers still get a lot of connections.)

Ew that’s disgusting

Switzerland has:

• the lowest amount of area per km of track, except for micro nations
• a fairly low amount of population per km of track - among the top 10 if population density is considered
• lost less than 10% of tracks since its historical peak
• a majority nationalized rail network
• (as you mentioned) a fully electrified network

While I haven’t travelled in Japan by rail (or any other mode), I have been to Switzerland. From what I’ve heard, in Japan there are many smaller local stations, where an ancient train arrives a few times a day.

Whereas in Switzerland, it seems like nearly every local station has at least one train per hour.

Switzerland.

Japan has outstanding high speed rail but that’s pretty much it. Local train servives are, from what I’ve heard, subpar in terms of frequency. The share of goods transported via rail is also comparatively low.

Check out these numbers and sort by each colum, Switzerland is always near the top (for population/size adjusted values)

That’s a tautology when talking about any potential American president

The concept of whiteness is purely American. It has no basis on anything and can therefore be molded to include anyone and everyone.

The nazis concept of “Aryan” is equally as scientific.

Imagine if the algorithm were in Θ(n!²), that would be even worse

You picked one of the worst countries on the globe.

China has managed to surpass fucking Germany in emissions per capita, one of the worst polluters in Europe with an enormous fossil fuel car & coal lobby.

And yes, just like China, Germany exports more than it imports. Any outsourced emissions are offset through this.

Only flooding has an appropriate name it seems
