For some reason it reminds me of Pedobear. I can't unsee it now.

Go all-in. I respect that.

It sounds a bit like owning an E or S class Mercedes, except the people that walk up to you are middle-aged women and people with a "business proposition".

People that don't want to hate driving care about public transportation. Buy a car you love for the weekends and ride public transit into/out of the traffic-congested hellholes we must endure to afford our toys.

The bad part about it is that you either originate or end up in Bremerton.

The UK is the home of all but a couple people I've met that don't have driver's licenses. I think this is a testament to the excellence of the overall transportation system within the country...

The DC metro was used as a shooting location in one of the original Planet of the Apes movies for this very reason.

The thing I didn't like about Boston was how awful the stations and signage were. When I went through there I had a local leading me and it was like following the white rabbit down a hole. I don't know how she knew where the hell she was going or how we made it out alive. If she wasn't with me, I might have still been…

I've heard really good things about it from people with first-hand experience. Apparently it is extremely cheap, clean, nice, and extensive.

I'm sort of an outsider (I now live somewhat near Seattle, moved here recently) and I like rail line to the airport, but I wish it was faster. The buses are usable, no denying that, but I often find myself walking if anything is within 2 miles of wherever I happen to be (faster, cheaper, more direct, and the city is…

My dad works for them. They're shit, trust me. I suffered through using it for a while... Los Angeles (as awful and spread out as it is) is many times better. The only thing the UTA has going for it is that it is freakishly quaint and the city survives on the construction industry, so building infrastructure is how…

It is, indeed, very nice, especially considering how long ago it was designed and built. It has, however, fucked me in the ass a few times, so I can't vote it the best. There are a number of one-way stops that are completely senseless (that is, you can enter or exit, but you can't do both).

Washington DC. No other system in the US comes anywhere near touching that.

The amount I'd need to write to teach you basic physics on top of refuting your points would be excessive and not worth my time. Just know that you are wrong on all points.

Please, please, please, someone ban the brodozer.

The AC to DC conversion has very low loss. Losses on switching power supplies are also quite low. You're definitely not suffering a 20% loss to heat in these components. Even transformers didn't have that kind of loss.

You're thinking too big here. You might do that every 2-3 years, but all the while you're spending $80-150 every 3-4 months on something that is easier to justify. Overclockers constantly do this (and I should know, I was in the scene). This doesn't count repairs from when something goes wrong.

Really? I find the parts, assemble it, and generally don't open it again until it really needs something added. The perpetual upgrade bug died after I started simply buying decent components to begin with, since it generally ends up being cheaper/easier in the long run than regular upgrades, and at the least it breaks…

Rectifying AC to DC is trivial. AC saves on transmission losses.

A similar thing happened to my aunt after she slipped out of a freaking mental hospital... While in a hospital gown a dealer/salesperson/finance department ran her through and gave her 100% financing on a car with nothing but her social security number. She then crashed the thing a few miles later.
