Little known rule. If you average 66% returns for 30 or more years, god lets you play with the lights on your first night.

With Brightline West breaking ground, I want to go over why the nation’s first operational HSR (250+ km/h) will include two stops in the relatively unpopulated desert & not quite make it all the way to LA, as it’s a good lesson about building in the US today🧵

Brightline West broke ground today on what's being touted as America's first true high-speed rail line with speeds that will top out at 186mph. The trip between Los Angeles and Las Vegas will take just over 2-hours, half of the 4-hour drive time today.

Any time someone says In-N-Out is overrated, all I can think is “So you think you’re better than Anthony Bourdain!?!?”

I could write a 50 page paper answering this :) A few points in outline form only: 1) The rocket exhaust is expanding into vacuum, so viscosity breaks down, so the gas does not obey the Navier-Stokes equation, which is the basis of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models. /1

Can you elaborate on your statement that "we haven't solved the physics of blowing dust." In what manner are CFD models of lunar dust under rocket plume inadequate?

I speak fluent Boeing: A quality escape is Boeing jargon for when something wasn't built or repaired correctly. The quality has "escaped" during the prescribed engineering or manufacturing process. He's saying it was a manufacturing quality error that caused the AS accident.

Absolutely unacceptable for a major, costly, infrastructure project like the Del Mar tunnel to be planned to preclude proven, global standard overhead catenary tech needed for high speed + frequency service. @SenBlakespear please hold SANDAG accountable for this terrible plan.

California needs to pass a law now requiring all new rail projects the state pays for are designed to allow 25kV overhead electrification

This one's a bit on the nose... I repeatedly had to tell anti-HS2ers on here that no HS2 meant higher rail fares, and they repeatedly responded by telling me I was speaking rubbish. Now HS2 is gone, and: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…
