I mean, I’ll be transparent, fascist architecture is definitely up my street. But it’s designed to be.

I mean, look at Star Wars. Rebel base:

Imperial hangar:

One of these is cleaner, sharper, and more attractive than the other.

Obviously some will prefer the Rebel bases, but I think objectively Imperial structures have “better” architecture, if art can be objective.

They should sue for copy reich.

Holy fucking shit they’re not even trying to hide the fascism now.

I don’t know much about various train technologies, but surely that’s going to cause massive wear and tear on the tracks and need to be serviced very often right? And any debris on the track is probably going to cause quite bad damage to the wheels too.

I don’t know, but I feel like your “if built to spec” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, what kind of spec? Is that sort of quality realistic for a real-world installation? Exposed to the elements?

Maglev is definitely more expensive to build and probably to run, but it seems like it’d be far more reliable? And also a much smoother experience for those on-board?

And I feel like Maglev has much greater theoretical speed limits than typical contact tracks, as, well, we basically remove the friction between the wheel and the track?

Also imo Maglev is cool and gets style points.

Hopefully #7 doesn’t turn into mass surveillance or Flock.
