I had never heard of CoMaps before. Is it another fork of the Kremlin-controlled Maps.ME without Russian spy code? Or something else?

Is there a specific reason it needs an alternative, or is it just good to have an alternative for everything in case that something about a program is not okay for some user?

I see you simply skimmed through my comment and commented without actually reading it.

Yes oh my god some of them were children

As I said in my comment, that is a horrible thing. Please read the comment and then reply again. It is ridiculed that you just randomly accuse people of being heartless without bothering to read what they actually think about the matter.

Also, you can be sad without being very very horrified. Those children were brought to death by their own parents. Why would that not feel bad?

that doesn't mean they deserve to die in a plane crash!

True. I completely agree with you regarding this. As I wrote in that comment. Please, just read it. If somebody is robbing a bank and gets shot in the process, that is a bad thing, because it's a dead human. A bank robber does not deserve death, because nobody deserves death. But, I won't expressly explain that I'm very sad about a robber dying, because the robbery does decrease my sadness. And even if the robber also kills their own child during the robbery, it of course makes me angry at that horrible parent, and sad about a child dying, but it doesn't make me actively write that I'm angry and sad. Because there are other thingsore relevant about the event.

Arguing against a really bad argument does not make the arguer's "empathy is conditioned on where somebody comes from."

If you now read my comment, you will notice that I'm saying my empathy is conditioned on what somebody has done. (And, to clarify: absolutely regardless of where they are from! It tells a lot about you that you even end up assuming it might be because of where that someone is from! That looks a lot like projecting.)

Furthermore: how have you successfully managed to completely skip the connection to the extreme suffering in Ukrainian homes? Based on you apparently projecting there, it's hard to not notice how you're voicing your compete apathy to the death and suffering of innocent civilians in the terror attacks the Russia is now committing on an almost hourly basis.

Please elaborate what in my text gave you such an impression.

Tämä suunnitelma on nyttemmin muuttunut siten, että tällä hetkellä puhutaan jo kolmesta päivittäisestä junaparista, mutta toisaalta yhteydestä Stettiniin ei enää näy mitään mainintaa.

Something in the ballpark of 90 % of those civilians support the war of genocide in some form. Some 30 % are against the war, but most of those are angry about how Ukraine was invaded: They would have wanted it done in a much less bloody fashion.

You talk with Russians, and they keep telling you how "you must look at both sides of the situation", in other words trying to defend the genocide their country is doing its best to commit. So, of course at least 5 %, possibly almost 10 % of Russian civilians are innocent, but out of the 44 adults that died, that is statistically about 2 to 4 people in the whole plane, plus the five children. Are we supposed to be very very horrified that 9 innocent people died in a plane crash?

In the other hand, the Russia is doing its Human Safari attacks against civilians, hunting them down with drones for fun. And they are targeting mainly civilian homes in their terror attacks with drones and missiles. If the death of those 7 innocent civilians and 40 guilty civilians (because of course, every death is always a sad thing – always to at least some extent!) helps end the war earlier and that saves the lives of 200 innocent civilians in Ukraine (being attacked by the army most of the plane's passengers were happily supporting), then as a net result that crash has then saved lives of a bit over 150 people. And yes, I prefer 49 dying over 200 dying, absolutely! Especially if those 200 are innocent and about 42 out of those 49 are not. Even if we were to assume somehow all of the 49 were innocent (HOW?! What are the chances for that?!), the balance would still make sense.

And then: They chose to enter a plane, fully aware of the existence of very severe safety problems in Russian aviation. A Ukrainian living in their own home and getting killed there hasn't really chosen their death as a victim of a terror attack. But someone willingly choosing to use the airplane under the current circumstances has made a completely free decision. They could have taken a train or a bus, but they preferred the risk in order to save time. First they decided not to do anything against Putin, in order to have a comfortable and safe life, then they decided to enter a deathtrap.

Nope. Not terribly sad. Not even for any of the approximately four innocent adults on the flight, because they chose the flight. I am sad for the 5 children, though. But even their deaths easily hasten the end of the war enough to save lives of 20 other children, which does diminish (but doesn't remove!) my sadness. It's 5 absolutely innocent people who didn't know of the risks and even if they did, could not do anything to mitigate them, and that's always sad. But 5 innocent children dying unfairly is something that happens more often than once per decade.

This war must end. It will only end when Russians get fed up with it. Everything that pushes them that way is more good than bad.

No, se on osa Rail Balticaa. Jos se toteutetaan heri 1435-millisenä, se on tosi hankala, jos yhteyttä muuhun 1435 mm rataan ei tehdä.

Tuo motivoi Latviaa väkertämään jonkinlaisen yhteyden vierekkäisten radanpätkien välille, mikä on.EU:n mieleen. Ja koska se todella on osa Rail Balticaa, on järkevää, että se tehdään RB-rahoilla.

30-40 % sen yhden raiteen kustannuksista säästynee, niinkö? Eli 60-70 % tulee jo nyt maksetuksi? Jos tulkitsen tuon luvun oikein, niin koko kaksoisraiteen hinnasta siis tulisi nyt maksetuksi 160%÷210%=76%, jossa siis "100 %" on kaksoisraiteen tehdyn yhden raiteen hinta, "60 %" on lisäraiteen pohjatyöt ja "10 %" sitä, että kun työt lopetetaan ja aloitetaan uudelleen, tulee ylimääräisiä kustannuksia. Eli suuruusluokkaa neljäsosa säästetään pudottamalla kapasiteetti johonkin, mihin, kymmenesosaan? Vai ennemminkin kuudesosaan?

Toi Riian ohittava rata on ollut tavaraliikennettä varten suunnitelmissa koko ajan.

Toisaalta Elron kyllä räjäytti potin, kun teki liikenteestä kertarysäysellä mukavampaa, halvempaa ja tarpeenmukaisempaa. Ja siitä potinräjäytyksestä on tultu vielä niin vauhdilla ylöspäin, että junat ovat jatkuvasti ylitäysiä suosion kasvun vuoksi.

Näin ei välttämättä käy RB:n kanssa, kun sen alkuimago on purkkaviritysyhteyden.

Possibly. Has there been a specific risk those two have been aware of without forbidding the dangerous operations?

Tää on hauska tilanne sikäli, että mitä vähemmän säästetään, sitä parempi. Koska se, että on säästetty vähän, tarkoittaa, että projektin loppuunsaattamiseksi ei enää tarvitse maksaa paljoa.

"Edellyttäen, että rakennetaan kaksiraiteinen ratapenger" 😃

Tuohan on jotain kai luokkaa 80 % kaksiraiteisen radan rakennuskustannuksista. Kiskojen lätkäiseminen olemassaolevalle penkereelle on halpaa ja nopeaa työtä.

Hauskasti verhoiltuna siis, että RB käytännössä rakennetaan kaksiraiteisena, mutta niin, että yksiraiteisuutta vaatineet kokevat saaneensa tahtonsa läpi.
