  • The northeast corridor is densely populated and fast trains require very straight tracks. In a place like China, eminent domain is easier and the State can expropriate land for the construction of a straight track, but in the US this is harder due to higher costs (lower economies of scale) and endless bureaucracy for infrastructure projects. So I suppose they just found it easier and a better option to build a lot underground.

  • I think that if, in good faith, the person is unable to accept more CSAM due to the fact that their hard drive is full, there isn't an issue. The intent of the law is that, it someone knows something is CSAM, they need to report it. I don't think the government is going to come hard on Lemmy server owners unwittingly receiving CSAM through federation (though they certainly would want them to report and take down the CSAM on their servers)

  • We already have a europe-wide ticket. That would be the Interrail pass. Unfortunately it's not intended for commuting and so it isn't truly unlimited in one's country of residence. Also costs a lot more than €49/month for unlimited travel, but includes high speed trains too (sometimes with a mandatory reservation charge)

  • I'm glad to have moved from a country where taxes and (high) expected tips are on top of the price, to a country where tax is included in the price and tips are usually not expected. It makes a surprising difference in affordability when you can actually buy a €5 item with €5.

    As soon as companies started asking for tips at self check-out, it became obvious that it's just a way of trying to underpay their staff and shift that responsibility on the customer.
