Hey doc I have a cold. I’m also really burned out from work so it wouldn’t hurt if you required me 2 weeks off paid that my employer just has to accept.
Doctors note mandate suddenly and inexplicably reverts

It’s the same in the UK with pants on head regarded laws and rulings. If citizens do something on their own initiative and it makes the local council look bad they throw the book at them i.e. that one guy who cleaned trash out of a harbor after pleading for years for the local council to do it. Once he did it himself the council threw the book at him for “environmental impact” my fucking ass…
Its like Britain and Germany are in a race to see who can any % speed run Hitler 2.0 rising to power… They both seemingly loathe the working class.

This feels like the whole dog and pony show around the titan sub fiasco when a select group of people heard the implosion on the US SOSUS net and knew within minutes/hours (James Cameron was one. He was tipped off from an insider at the military)

They’re nowhere near fat enough to be your typical American alt-right so I’ve always personally thought they were ICE, CIA, FBI, and other 3 letter alphabet field agent people. Probably military in there too

It’s like making a normal printer that’s mandated by the government to never print dicks

It is exceedingly difficult for a medical professional to differentiate between brain death and just being a republican representative.
It’s mostly used by Jews and Yiddish speakers afaik

Yeah you’re right but that’s beside the point I think. The fact that these panels interfere with railhead grinding and other routine track maintenance means they’re a huge extra cost center you have to spend on every time you touch anything on the rails. Plus service trains take up blocks that could be used by revenue service where they instead cost money to operate. It’s easier to put these next to the permanent way instead of directly smack in the middle.
Goy means a non-jewish nation or person. Goyim is plural.
“She is a Goy” (she’s not Jewish)
“They’re Goyim” (they’re all non Jewish)
It doesn’t necessarily have a negative meaning to it but it can in certain contexts just like your example of “boy”. You can refer to a boy that way, or it can be used to be racist and denigrate a black man.

In Canada they have 10m left and right of the rail alignment usually. It’s a massive strip of land when you add it all up, and it already has power runs for signaling, axle counters, hotbox detectors .etc

I think it should have been obvious to anyone at the railroad at the very least. They obssess over this stuff since it’s their entire business… They’ve been around for 2 centuries so what impacts a railway is really well understood.
IMHO there’s a not-insignificant amount of environmental grifting dressed up like incompetence… The trial gets funding, the railroad gets compensation… Everyone makes money and now a second trial is guaranteed once this one fails.
I’m not saying all environmental stuff is like this but c’mon… It’s either political or grifting or even both… I don’t see why else they would think this is worth trying.

From what I know most of the grease should be coming from within the rails since that’s where the roller bearings are and the underside of rolling stock is coated with a constant film of rust and grease.
Cleaning wouldn’t be too hard especially if you made a train that carried its own water tanks and pressure washer spray. The downside is needing to take up a slot of revenue service to run a washing train. Putting more maintenance inside of the revenue generating part of a permanent way is pants on head regarded in my opinion. Like OOP said, put them next to the permanent way since the right of way usually is big enough you can do that.
There’s also the fact that railhead grinders probably don’t work with these in place which wears the rails out faster if you can’t grind it (we’re talking an order of magnitude faster if you don’t grind microfractures or microcracking out), or necessitates removing them so you can regrind the rail head profile and delete micro cracking from fatigue cycling before it spreads and the entire rail needs to be replaced. Then you have to put these panels back in place.
In a normal rail setup you can run a grinding train in between revenue trains. With this you probably need to close the track, set up derails, remove panels with a crew, grind the rails, and put them back. Each step in that process is a crew day as opposed to a grinding train.


From what I’ve heard he’s trying to force the DNC to replace him with a progressive candidate and not an institutionalized boot licker?
