I hope it stays that way, but they are already pressuring everyone to move further right. I'm worried that the gammons will vote them in

Each journal hosts its own papers, but can also provide access to every other paper from journals they work with.

I think what they mean is every journal behaves like an instance on lemmy, federated with eachother. One journal not living up to your standards, block them on your instance etc. Like lemmy

If you are moving a full car of people, it's probably the best way to get around. However the average occupancy of a car is 1.2 people. The vast majority of cars have just 1 person, often driving less than 5 miles which is an easy distance to cycle.

Having more people cycling means the roads are less congested for the people who really need to use them. And with less people driving and more cycling, it should hopefully get safer.

My hope is that as soon as it opens, it becomes very clear that more platforms are needed so they build a new station, connecting hs1 and 2 at the same time with said station.

The curse of mvp strikes again

Also they said "Government confirmed funding for tunnelling from Old Oak Common to Euston in the Autumn Budget. Ensuring HS2 trains terminate in central London" maybe I'm just cynical but they sounds like we will build the tunnels but not the station?

Cool, lest build them then. (They would have cost far less if the government didn't meddle with the project every few months)

Mineral oil is what i was planning to use, it's issue is that's it's pretty viscous so would need to be moved around mechanically. Some plastics are ok with ipa (can use other solvents)

Yeah it's definitely a fire hazard, and just a health hazard in general. The pressure should self regulate, as it gets hotter it will increase pressure, which makes it easier to cool down. Would be in something metal that could take the pressure. And completely sealed so no air can get in all heat would have to conduct out.

I personally haven't taken amtrak or via (I'm guessing your in us or canada) i don't consider traveling on a train wasted time. I can sit and read (i get car sick), i can do work, charge my laptop, use on board Internet or 5g. I can also get a night train and sleep for the journey. America was built by the railways, there is no reason they can't make a return.
