Thank goodness that article wasn't up to the usual level of drama.
The railway did a series of documentaries a couple of years back to explain the problems of running the world's oldest network, but it was very poorly done.

The Speed restrictions are for the safety of the Trains.
That is the problem with CWR track, nowhere for the expansion over 27C to go. If you stress the rail to cope with high temperatures for a few days in Summer, you have to re-stress it to cope with the rest of the year.
Doesn't matter what they do it will be wrong. Moan, Moan ,Moan.

Good morning.

Must say, that is one handsome looking house demon.

She (I assume from the color) is clearly not going to put up with any inadequacies. Nobody will wash dishes until her demands are met!

For those interested, here's a link to a neat artificial gravity calculator, change one of four variables and see the results. ( real time ) Pretty cool thing to whip out at the fusty dinner party or neighborhood pub. You too can now enjoy such rejoinders as these...

"Sorry Smedley old boy, but your space station concept is as obsolete as that hideous cow creamer at your elbow. Just not enough tangential velocity to provide acceptable g at the rim of your ring world given the size of the thing. Now if...."

"You silly git! Step away from the pint and stop blowing smoke rings from your arse bigger than the rings of Saturn...see, this is wot 'appens..."

Artificial Gravity Calculator

maybe someone who has the original thread ping list could alert others.

Get it now, because there is a ten year old armed with such information and prepared to use it and leave you slackjawed and gobsmacked for lack of an answer.

That’s a useful calculator.
Could be handy for finding out if the latest creation to roll out of your Shed is going to fly apart the first time you barrel roll it.

*Stuffing more tobacco into Pipe*
Yes.....Hmmmm...handy that.

:)

What I'd like to know is who among us is going to be first to build a 3-d printer that fills up a two-car garage. I'll send some plans over when you're ready.

That would be a very pretty sink if the fixtures were polished....

But the kitteh is very unusual in coloring.

Look at all those robot foot prints on the wall next to the stairs. It must have been in a hurry many times in the past. ;-)

This Youtube robot video cracks me up. Two guys pretending to be one of those quadruped robots.
