Welcome!

Heartbreaking:

I must ask for the joke explanation

They’re force-mobilizing women now

To the last Ukrainian

Incredible videos

Sadly I have to agree that seems like the most likely outcome

Fascinating!

I have seen these hulking machines sitting on the tracks sometimes, I think the manufacturer might be “comaco” - is that what does the tamping/grinding/replacing?

There are like 10 systemic crises brewing and if any one of them hits everybody will know about it very quickly

I certainly have never done maintenance on railroad tracks. Do you think that’s more frequent than maintenance that needs to be done on rooftops?

Who will win?

The greatest pumper of stocks in history or the greatest energy shock in history?

Tune into American Politics™ to find out!

I see the logic of that. I think I speak of the civilian bombardments because not everyone knows enough about genocide to see the immediate connection between sterile state actions and genocidal violence

According to people on the ground the Banderite Nazis have been attacking civilian locations in the Donbass multiple times a day with artillery and drones since the euromaidan coup

Other greatest hits from Russian Disinformation™:

• Ukraine is a literal and explicit Nazi state
• Masked men in vans literally pulling people off the streets and sending them to die on the front lines
• Patriot system is useless against hypersonics and even ballistic missiles
• Bahkmut, Pokrovsk and now Konstantinivka captured
• Ukrainian false flag attacks on European neighbors with drones

The article mentions reinforcing the panels and also adding “brooms” to the underside of the trains. I don’t know how it will shake out but it’s possible with the brooms they get cleaned more regularly than rooftop ones. Perhaps it will be important to leave gaps so that rocks and train parts can fall down between them as they are swept off (thus hopefully limiting damage to a single panel)

Jordanlund is the ultimate PTB on this network, surpassing even the odious Pugjesus

(I blocked both of them so I won’t see any malding replies if they come)

Don’t think “breakaway region” think “100-billion+ dollar tax exempt hedge fund that is also one of the largest private landholders and has a massive PR budget”

They already have everything they want working the system from inside

LOL I thought the same thing

Hard to keep it straight these days with all these Satans running around

I don’t think it’s a slam dunk case. There’s lots of costs associated with installing solar on a roof that may not apply here. I think someone would have to do a comparative lifecycle analysis

I agree we should be putting solar panels on roofs. I disagree that this railway solar idea is impractical. If this article is to be believed they have already demonstrated effective operation at pilot scale. They mentioned some challenges specific to this application, but they also seem to have compensated for them
