Oh, but I do.

Any anonymous troll can make that kind of claim. John Larkin makes it and he isn\'t even anonymous, though he doesn\'t seem to understand what design means.

Post a circuit diagram that you\'ve imagined that you have designed, and we might take you seriously. Here\'s something I did

Having one derailment per day, is a testament to the

Only in the USA.

There is more than one rail company, and set of rail lines.

A company that is not capitalized properly, can\'t really
afford to fix anything.

The tracks that are used for passenger rail, are likely
better than some of these little spur lines.

*******

When the Hudsons Bay line flooded out, and there was
a lot of track damage, the owners didn\'t want to fix it,
so a group bought the line, and that group paid to fix it up.

A railway flooded here - the pipes under it to take a stream\'s water got blocked. For weeks on end, no train driver was observant enough to spot the forming lake to the side. Then the water decided to cause 2 million of damage by shoving the railway to one side. And 200K damage to a private property (a charity), which the railway company refused to pay out.

That\'s one of the larger diameter roundabouts and one of the first to be

That\'s the local idea of a traffic circle. Few of them look that pristine
for long. Moving vans, fifth-wheel trailers, and so forth don\'t have much
choice other than running over them.

Dafuq? \"They aren\'t roundabouts they\'re traffic circles\"? Err..... same thing.

These things are stupid:
https://chronicleillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Lake-090518-Gurnee-roundabout-PHOTO.jpg
I run over them in my car. Why bother turning?

At least the roundabout aprons are
tapered down to meet the pavement so you don\'t get thump - thump - thump.

They are better than the \'bulb-outs\' that force bicycles out into the
traffic lane in interest of safety.

There\'s one here on a blind bend going downhill, so cars are forced to try to swerve round unsuspecting pedestrians on sheet ice in winter. And they set the priority for the uphill so the poor drivers didn\'t have to do a hill start. Yes, much better to make them try to stop going downhill towards a pedestrian. I told the council I awaited the first death with glee and would be there in court to laugh at the council\'s decision. I was ignored.

Being nice to someone gains you nothing, chances are they won\'t be nice back.

The chance of anybody being nice to the Scottish wanker are pretty close to zero. His enthusiasm for putting his own interests first is both obvious and off-putting, and the correct response is to push him under the next bus. You should confine your being nice to people who might be nice back, as opposed to being obviously un-cooperative.

I couldn\'t begin to understand a 4 way stop.  You have to somehow
remember who got there first?!  How is that even possible?

Surely you\'ve noticed that there are some 4-way stops in the UK - well,
not actual stops, but certainly 4-way give-ways? There are two within a
mile of me - one in a supermarket carpark, and one in a nearby village.
Essentially, these are mini-roundabouts with no circle in the middle,
and (being in the UK) the vehicle coming from your right has priority.
Like any mini-roundabout, if three or four vehicles arrive
simultaneously, it can become a game of chicken as to who actually
proceeds first.

When I lived in Boston, the rule seemed to be - one person goes, and
everyone behind him follows closely - then someone else gets to try.

Stop signs seem to be a team sport here.

Why were they never made of something more grippy than highly polished
steel?

That settles it - you have never studied engineering - in any form.

I studied engineering as part of my combined degree. Electrical and
building construction.

We put grippy wheels on cars, we could put them on trains too.

Isn\'t there something about more friction between similar metals? Clock
mechanisms usually have steel spindles in brass bearings.

If there is it wasn\'t in the degree. But I could check....

https://www.engineersedge.com/coeffients_of_friction.htm

Same metals:
Cast iron on cast iron has a dynamic coefficient of 0.15 (dry, unlubricated, like train wheels)
Nickel on nickel 0.53
Hard steel on hard steel 0.42
Mild steel on mild steel 0.57

Different metals:
Cast iron on mild steel 0.23

From that page alone, I can see mixing cast iron and mild steel just puts it inbetween the two if they were identical. If what you said was true, I\'d expect dissimilar metals to fall outside the range of the two on their own.

There aren\'t any other comparisons I can make from there, unless you care to look up some more on other sites.

Here, we don\'t need amps. We have decent transmitters in the first

You probably would need an amp if the signal is split between nine TVs.

It depends on the environment. In a shop, you\'re earning reputation. But what about driving? Letting people out will probably not cause them to let you out another day, because chances are you\'ll never meet that particular driver again. I do however always let people out, since I\'m fucking pissed off nobody else does. Often I\'m in a queue of cars at say 10mph, and I see ahead of me someone trying to pull out of a sideroad, often a few of them in a queue. The fifteen (!) drivers I can see in front of me don\'t let them out. What chance does the last in the queue have?

people call \'inertia\'

There\'s a description of the difference here:

https://byjus.com/physics/difference-between-momentum-and-inertia/#:~:text=Momentum%20is%20a%20vector%20quantity,any%20change%20in%20its%20velocity.

With respect that is mostly bollocks. And doesn\'t take into account the
inertia of bureaucracy or the inertia of a projectile hitting a tank.

Inertia is a common usage term. Momentums is technical. And as I pointed
out, all motion is relative, so your appeal to authority fails because
there is no such thing as \'an object at rest\' or \'in constant motion\'
unless you define a frame of interital. reference.

It makes sense to me, perhaps you could give a link to something similar
from a respected body?

Inertia is illogical, because it\'s only related to mass. How can you
have something you calculate from only one thing? If I want to tell you
how difficult it will be to make the object move, I need only tell you
it\'s mass.

Mass has other properties that inertia, like gravitational attraction.

I guess inertia is more of a description in a particular scenario than a property.
