High speed rail is high maintenance. The distance between major cities in these still barely United States are much further apart than most other advanced nations with rail. And freight gets priority over passengers in this land.

This may be true in 49 states. But Oklahoma will never, ever have one. Search Black Fox Reactor project for the ugliest battle ever against nuclear power.

During the last year of the PDP-11 sales, I saw a demo at a DECUS meeting. They had a PDP 11/20 running the lastest version of RSTS/E, and the latest PDP 11 running the first version of RSTS/E. Just boasting a bit of compatibility.

My 2.4Ghz wireless Logitech mouse died when my PC booted completing the update. So I'm using a Dell wired mouse.

I heard more and more EV trucks that never shifted, just buzzed right down the road. It isn't just personal vehicles losing manuals. And I heard truckers really like driving the EVs.

... Donald Trumps election?
