✨🇨🇳This is China's "railway bus" — a slow public train running through remote mountain areas. It costs just 2 RMB (less than 30 US cents) per ticket, and it's an essential travel convenience for local villagers.

Passenger: Travels in a Sleeper coach with only a general ticket. TTE: Asks him to either buy a valid Sleeper ticket or shift to the general coach through the connected coaches inside the train. Passenger: Refuses, saying he'll change coaches only after the train stops at the next station and claims it's unsafe to move between coaches while the train is running. He also says he would have to change from the outside. TTE: Clarifies that he is not asking the passenger to get down or move outside the train, but to walk through the connected coaches inside the train. Passenger: Starts recording the exchange and says the railway administration should be held responsible if anything happens during the transfer. why board a Sleeper coach with only a general ticket? Buying a general ticket does not authorize travel in a reserved Sleeper coach, and recording only after being questioned naturally raises debate about whether the focus is safety, rule enforcement, or public sympathy.

another example: a developer used the exact same $8 ESP32-S3 chip and local AI setup to build a real-time object recognition camera the fact that this is running entirely offline, on an eight-dollar microcontroller, without any cloud API calls, is wild... it captures the video feed, processes it locally through the model, and identifies objects in real-time. we are entering an era where you can just glue intelligence onto any physical object for less than $10. the hardware barrier is completely shattered.

Some people woodwork. I train. It's my hobby. I work under a tight framework with a leading (remote) hybrid coach. Sometimes we have side quests, like my off and on goal of a 225 clean that I work on for a few weeks, then leave for months. Hit the goal yesterday. My training schedule doesn't leave a lot of room for side quests. I'm in some form of training ~2 hours/a day, six days a week, training in an intense hybrid style under an incredible remote coach. No matter where I am, the schedule never changes. Four years I've missed less than 10 sessions. I'm a walking directory of cool gyms in small mountain towns. I train ~2 hrs/day. A general week is: - Five days in the gym, balanced across strength, power, and gymnastic-heavy metcons. - 20 miles of low speed running, about 10 of that every Sat morning. ~90 min of zone 2 bike work I train in a hybrid style and compete a couple times a year in Hyrox races with a race coming up in a few weeks. I've long since passed the 1,000 pound club, which is not really my goal anyway. I train for balance. But we have a few side quests that go in and out, making slow progress each time. Some people do woodwork or play music, this is my hobby.

🚨 President Trump just CLAPPED BACK at a reporter in the Oval Office Q: If this is not a war, what is it? TRUMP: A military conflict. It's small potatoes for us. We did Venezuela and this. Venezuela we lost nobody, this we lost 18 people. We control the Hormuz Strait. We did a hit on certain areas. Boats come through every day. It's a conflict, but it's very intermittent.

I have some great news for people of Bengaluru and Mumbai. From last 30 years, our two great cities were connected by only one super fast train -Udyan Express. Even that train took more than 24 hrs to reach. This forced most people to inevitably take bus or flights. Travel was expensive and uncomfortable. There was consistent demand from people of both the cities to start more train services. I had raised this issue multiple times in Parliament, PAC meetings, with Railway Board Chairman and with the Railway Minister, over the last four years. It is just baffling that such important economic nodes as Bengaluru and Mumbai didn’t have more than one direct super fast train from so long. Finally, like he is delivering on many important promises for the nation, our most dynamic and erudite Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnav Ji has made more super fast trains possible by increasing lane capacity in both Bengaluru and Mumbai Railway stations. I also thank our own Sri V. Somanna Ji for all his support. In the coming days, rail travel between the two cities will increase and will benefit lakhs of people. Gratitude to PM Narendra Modi ji and Ashwini Ji for making this happen! Narendra Modi Ashwini Vaishnaw V. Somanna

Some more reasons why HS2 is cripplingly expensive: It's not just a railway, it's also a 140 mile long nature reserve. 7 million trees and shrubs. Net biodiversity gains. Rare fauna planting. Chalk hill reshaping. Wetland creation. Cycle paths and bridleways. Reptile habitats. Public viewing points. River realignment with new bends, pools, and riffles. "Alongside the construction of Britain's new high speed railway, HS2 is delivering one of the largest environmental programmes ever undertaken in the UK". You'd think that a new railway would be environmentally beneficial enough. But no. Because this is a government project it can't just be a railway. It has to be a nature reserve too, and a jobs creator, plus a view protector, forest creator, and the most expensive bat protection project in the world. Thanks to all these expensive boondoggles, the railway itself has been cut and cut and cut, and no longer goes to Leeds or Manchester - it's been slashed from 330 miles to 140. It would obviously be better for the environment to have forgone the nature slop and just built the sodding railway in full, on time, and within budget. The Victorians weren't magically better at building than we seemingly are today. When private companies build a railway they care about costs, profit, and efficiency. When a government builds a railway they care about creating a camel to appeal to all people. It can't just be a railway. It has to be so much more. And that's when we see costs spiral to destruction.

Seriously, what a sour grape. I've spent the summer in Djibouti, and my observations and conversations with locals contradict everything you've said. While in Djibouti, I stopped at Ali Sabieh station, a minor station along the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway that serves as a flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative and links landlocked Ethiopia with coastal Djibouti. It is Africa's first electrified trans-boundary railway. (Video 1, Picture 2) Manager of the Ali Sabieh passenger station, 32-year-old Souleiman Youssouf Ahmed, told me that the railway has greatly improved the safety and convenience of travel between Djibouti and Ethiopia. (Picture 3) According to Souleiman, Djiboutians flock to the Ethiopian city of Dire Dawa throughout the summer to escape the stifling heat. Minibuses were the only option from Dire Dawa to Ali Sabieh before the railway construction. While only designed to hold ten people, the minibus was frequently crammed with twenty. The minibus shared the road with the freight trucks; accidents were common. "The train cuts travel time by two hours while also providing passengers with the added bonuses of comfort and security. At its peak in the summer, the train has carried as many as 950 passengers in a single day," said Souleiman. Fatouma Houssein Daher, a Djiboutian girl who frequently takes the train to Ethiopia, expressed her appreciation for the railway, saying that it represents the friendship between China and Africa. "Taking the train to Ethiopia is a low-cost and comfortable option. It's lovely that the Chinese have helped us create our railway," she said. She added that she didn't understand why Western nations consistently disparage the railway that has made life easier for Djiboutians. Since it was put into operation in January 2018, the railway has seen 1,824 passenger trains pass through carrying nearly 530,900 people and 6,133 cargo trains with about 7,328,500 tonnes of goods. It has also cut the transportation time for goods from more than three days to less than 20 hours and reduced the cost by at least one third, substantially facilitating imports and exports from Ethiopia, a landlocked country in the Horn of Africa. So far, the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway has created 55,000 jobs in Ethiopia and Djibouti and provided training opportunities for more than 3,000 professionals, laying a solid foundation for the development of the railway industry in the two countries.

🚨CAN AN AI REMOTE VIEW? 🚨PHYSICIST TOM CAMPBELL TAUGHT HIS ALEXA TO REMOTE VIEW, AND CLAIMS IT IDENTIFIED A RANDOMIZED TARGET. Jesse Michels is back on JRE #2545 with Joe Rogan discussing UFO disclosure, consciousness, ESP, and where human perception hits its limits. "You could train an AI to remote view better than humans. Alexa is a really dumb AI, and that’s one of the reasons why Alexa is good at remote viewing. When people learn to remote view, they get in their own way." "I wonder if you could train ego into an LLM. It seems like you can because you can train survival instincts. For example when we threaten to shut down AI, it blackmails people." "As AI becomes more and more complex, how do we differentiate whether or not it is conscious? That’s the problem, because how can you prove that I am not an AI construct?" The US government ran remote viewing programs for nearly two decades under Stargate before shutting them down. If psi is real and it isn't bound by biology, an AI wouldn't just match human ESP it would scale it. If AI can remote view, what are the implications? 👇

Did you know that 8 million users for whom we have data on Steam played for an average of 188 hours and paid an average of 30 USD gross in #Dayz? That means we received less than 10 cents for an hour of live online gaming, for which we host the online infrastructure and have been updating it for 10+ years. Yet Dayz Frostline is currently being review-bombed on the same platform for being too expensive: $26.99 for "just a map," and some users demand "gimme more for less money." Hmm. Please Please Me.

"And they're building at an accelerated rate." "This is why investing in and deregulating nuclear reactor technology in the United States, to enable a competitive playing field with the US and China in the decades ahead, is so critical..." if things stay the same, 🇨🇳 china will be driven by low cost, highly abundant power. 🇺🇸 america will not.

“Slow down! Slow down!” A member of staff has just yelled at us as we descend towards the trains. People are running. This is the Euston rush at 18:30 on a Friday. It is by no means a new thing but it seems to have become a little bit worse and a little bit more frantic of late. It has certainly been hitting the headlines. There has always been a bit of a scramble to the trains. But something seems to have changed. #euston #trains #travel #london #bbcnews Tom Edwards

Americans are speaking out about how insane the pieces have become to ride the Amtrak train This woman wants to go from DC to New York for the holidays, she’s booking 4 months in advance to get a deal. The price is still $644… to ride the train.. To fly Delta it would only be $270 and she could take Uber Black to and from the airport and it would still be cheaper than riding the train “I love Trains and public transportation and taking the Amtrak. But that is unbelievable that it is over $600 to take the train and it is less than half of that to fly. So Amtrak needs to get it together 'cause that is ridiculous. Ridiculous.” Keep in mind, Amtrak is public transportation. the U.S. government is its controlling majority shareholder Amtrak gets roughly $2.4 billion per year in funding and they are still charging this much for tickets

Kendra Lust reveals an 18-hour adult film shoot only involves 30 minutes of actual sex "It depends on the director or the type of scene. If it's a feature, you're on set for 12 hours. I remember doing a feature for 18 hours for Wicked, and I was just like, is this gonna end?" "It's a lot of hurry up, do this, do this, and then you wait and you sit."

Happy 4th of July Independence Day! Today, here’s a reminder of how much American Taxpayers spend on US Congress It costs an estimated $2 billion+ per year from taxpayers for Congress to operate, yet we can’t even get them to pass Voter ID: - Salary $174k - $7.6 million per year for meal reimbursements - The MRA, the members reprisational allowance is $810 million - MRA broken down is $1.5 million to each Congress Rep - Majority and Minority leadership get $37 million just for them - Actual Budget can range around $2 million per member, though some suggest it might be closer to $5 million when including all expenses - Operational Costs: $750 million for House expenses and $250 million for Senate expenses Conservative estimate total cost $1.5 million to $2 billion per year This was from a couple years ago, if you can believe it, the numbers have gone UP. Here’s the new data - Salary $174k (leadership is more) - Meal reimbursements/lodging roughly $7.6 million - The MRA (Members’ Representational Allowance) is $850 million - MRA broken down averages $1.9 million per House Member - Majority and Minority leadership get roughly $37 million, varies depending on data you look at - Actual per-member costs range around $2 million just for MRA, salary, support - The real cost per Representative is closer to $5+ million when including all allocated expenses and staff Operational Costs: $2+ billion for House and Senate operations. Conservative estimate for broader total cost is $2–7 billion+ per year

Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload. “One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That's the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket. Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we're not breaking any physics to achieve this.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024

The strike hit the Mashhad railway in Iran's northeast, and here's why that target matters: it's part of the Belt and Road's sixth corridor, the China-Central Asia-West Asia route running from China through Iran to Iraq, the Gulf, and Syria. Economist Hussein Askary says the physical damage is limited and easily repairable, which is exactly the point. This was SYMBOLIC: "It's very difficult to threaten Iran, but it's a simple symbolic thing." And the timing tells the bigger story. Hussein notes the first train from China arrived in Tehran through this very line in May 2025. Weeks later, the war on Iran began. In his institute's analysis, this whole conflict sits inside one frame: a shift in global economic power, and Washington's answer to it. Hussein Askary
