It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
HOLY FUCKING SHIT JUST USE TRAINS OH MY FUCKING GOD 
Instead of a conventional train with one or more locomotive cars pulling a long chain of unpowered cargo cars, each rail car is a self-powered electric vehicle.
bazinga
hear me out, what if we hooked up those self-powered electric vehicles to unpowered trailers to increase their cargo capacity
Look, if this is how they need to process their grief over the fact that trains were always better than cars and trucks then let them have it. We don’t need to be proud, just get the trains running.
Taking an existing concept and actively working to make it worse and nonfunctional is the techbro prime directive
Sometimes this dystopia gets a hearty laugh out of me.
"When you're looking at a terminal, a traditional freight train is about three miles long, which means you need a place to park three miles of a rolling stock. You need a buffer of about 300 containers. You have trucks going back and forth. It's a big operation with a lot of real estate and a lot of cost. Our vehicles can interface like a semi truck to go directly where they need to go, load and unload you to get out of the way," Howard told me.
So just... make a shorter train? You can make trains more flexible without going down to "each car has its own motor". The only reason why freight trains are so long now is because the companies wanted to cut costs by reducing the number of drivers (even though this comes at a cost to safety and worker well-being). Of course, they need to believe in autonomous rail cars so they can fantasize about automating away their need for workers instead of just employing more people.
We love PSR here, don't we
no more half measures walter
B*ttery electric...
:fry:
A better idea would be to shift some of that cargo to our underutilized railways—here, the idea of platooning is an old one, better known as a "train." Parallel Systems hopes to do just that with its second-generation autonomous battery-electric freight railcar.
No FUCKING way
There's literally no downside to having a huge spiderweb of autonomous vehicles each trying to perform their own unique pathfinding
There are no conceivable consequences
