Our freight rail is extensive and surprisingly efficient. We use the same lines for passenger rail, but freight trains get priority, slowing our passenger system substantially.

We're just forcing one piece of infrastructure to do double duty. It's just not a distance or density issue. Historically, cities may have been close to resources, but that is less and less the case, particularly in densely populated areas.

Our freight rail system is the most sophisticated in the world. The fact that it uses the same lines as our passenger rail is why our passenger rail is slow.

There was a discussion of whether genre books are getting too long on O-Deck the other day. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I'm curious. I sort of thought that the long books just stand out, but I'm doubting that position, now.

240 pages doesn't sound like an adult novel?

Not to mention sticker books being included.

I think you're missing a lot of the sticker books, though.

It's unfortunate that there is no middle ground available. Maybe I can praise and be standoffish on alternate days.

The charger port is USB C. That's to good part. I think that you should have a port available when charging, but I guess you need an adapter for that.

Has anyone ever complained that they had too many ports?

I had a laptop that was like a ton of bricks in 2004. Still, I'm with you.

That resolution is for the MacBook. the MacBook Air didn't get a resolution upgrade.

First episode will be free online using playstation store.

Here's where I found out about ala carte purchasing:

Planting milkweed is great for Monarch populations. Free milkweed seeds are available, too, just do a search.

That kind of thinking kept people from getting the 10% returns the market gave last year.

I know. It bothers me, but I think that costume designers are super into texture, these days.

DC has pretty conclusively split TV from the movies, so consistency across those media shouldn't make a big difference. I wish they'd differentiated more.

I don't think that's skin. I think it's an under-layer to the garment. Just gives it texture. I think that thin superhero costumes have their place and that place is on Superman and Supergirl.

Aren't they only invulnerable under the light of a yellow sun? Or is that no longer true?
