exactly, i'm catiously optimistic because if this works it could be kinda revolutionary, if rural germans can be convinced to use some form of public transport that's a huge step towards weaning that hideously car-brained nation off the deathmobiles.
and the big thing with these is that they just run on normal tracks, so you can just.. start running normal trains once you see that ridership with the monocabs is reaching sufficient numbers!
have you actually looked at what we're talking about, like at all? or are you just following the programming of "small vehicle=bad"?
literally my only complaint about these is that they need to clearly explain how stabling and switching tracks would work
and unsurprisingly it's a german project, a country which is absolutely fucking covered in rural lines that are just rusting away
like, holy shit, can we stop branding everything that isn't a bog-standard train as "tech bro gadgetbahn"? this thing very explicitly has a specific problem it's trying to solve.
that's true to a degree, but not for 10k hours, 10k hours is literally the amount of time people use as a benchmark for slogging away at something until you master it and i can't think of any FPS game that is quite that varied unless you just play a new map every day
"haha jokes on you i was only pretending to be annoying!"

it's astounding that all rich people don't just do what the locally famous businessman living a town over from me did:
get a nice house in your home town (provided it's not a shit place, obviously) and spend your days living a normal "middle class" life where you can just buy and do whatever the fuck you feel like, just pop down to the grocery store and buy some muffins, why not? That's actual contentment in life, having yet even more money and buying a luxury yacht isn't any better than just going on a cruise with your family every single summer
it's basically just a fancy way of saying "hey god could i maybe not die in the near future?"
and if everyone invested $100 per month in their local community we'd have colonies on the moons of jupiter
investments are super safe, provided you invest in your local community
mutual aid is a great life hack
isn't it literally just a fork of mastodon?
