Compared to drive with the train on rail without unloading/stopping? Mode change is expensive. So ideally once Iran is liberated the train would just drive from Central Asia to Turkey through Iran without stopping.
The Trans Iranian Railways are already built, but not in use to transport goods from central asia to turkey as far as I understand.
Yeah conflicting ideologies may lead to a splinter-net… but this also can be just a matter of an instance users taste. This is part of the federated nature of lemmy that allows this to happen.
I noticed Alt-Text is far less popular on lemmy than on mastodon.social, not a fan, but maybe it has to do something with the User-Interface, and how obvious alt-text is made.
On a more serious note: I wonder if the year of Lemmy will never come. Constant de-federation and churn might splinter it again, much like distros did kinda splinter the Linux desktop.
yeah but to avoid Russia & Iran you need to cross the Caspian sea by boat, which is not optimal for costs and profit-margins I assume. Train needs to be unloaded, containers wait in port (Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan I assume) until ship is loaded …
I guess many of the Americans troops are stationed in North-Eastern Syria, where Turkey is going to "protect its interests", once the American bases are gone …
Good point with the army corps of Engineers, did not know they have this much influence on federal infrastructure in the states and are under the presidents command.
… you are right the Force a mass experiences in a gravitational Field is proportional to its mass. And this equation reminds me of the force exerted on a charged particle in an electric field:
F = q*E
The force a charged particle with charge q experiences in an electric field is proportional to its charge.
