I quote it almost daily

Oh I more than understood your question, as much as there was one. I’m taking the piss out of you because your question is more of a rant than anything else.

Move somewhere else if you don’t like it. You live in an industrial area. As do I, where the trains stop traffic multiple times per day since we have lumber yards here. And we all deal with it because we chose to live here.

The fuel costs of having the train do what it does, even though it’s an inconvenience for you, will certainly be substantially less than them catering to you. That’s by my estimation though. If you have data showing otherwise, let’s take a look at it.

That’s a separate issue. You asked a question, and an answer was given.

I bet that your city is used to having trains, seeing as they’re pretty major infrastructure, and had the good sense to have multiple police and fire stations on each side, thus not negatively impacting their response times.

Have you called the station managers or whatever to file an official complaint? If not, you’re wasting your time complaining here.

How do trains save fuel

By reducing the number of freight trucks on the road

I’ve been in this situation for a few years now (Working from home, wanting to share screens between devices).

KVMs and HDMI Switches are what to look for, as others have said. Scenes aren’t something you’re going to get cheaply, but you’ve still got options. For reference, I currently have three 27in 1440p monitors.

The first one I bought was a cheap 2 HMDI IN->2 HDMI OUT that worked pretty well. It’s straight 1-to-1 matching, you can’t mix and match what goes where without actually moving the cables, but it was great for having my main and right monitor be easily switched between my Desktop and Work computers. My left monitor is just for my desktop so I can multitask.

It died after a couple years and I upgraded my main monitor to my first 1440p which it couldn’t handle anyways. I wanted to use my main with Display Port so I got a 1 HDMI IN->2 HDMI OUT for just my right monitor. Center monitor has multiple inputs so I just use the screen’s buttons to switch.

My current monitor setup I literally setup this week. Each has multiple HDMI and DP inputs and it takes just a few seconds to switch each one with its built in switcher, and I honestly think this is the way to go.

After a few years of doing it, I say if you are able to, prioritize nice monitors with multiple inputs and use their built in systems for switching. A few more button presses, but that’s just a few seconds of time.

Indeed AI, parodying the official Chinese state broadcast videos they have been doing.

The shots are way too consistent to be AI. If it was AI, we’d expect background details to change between each one. This feels like a high quality robot chicken production

Edit: See my newer top level comment with source. It is indeed AI

But if it’s absolutely required

It’s not.

There’s two punchlines, not one. The obvious one is the “inappropriate” joke, the second is the person on the right actual hoping for something naughty and being disappointed it was just a play on words.

Not saying it’s a great second punchline, but that’s how I’m seeing it

Only real ones

Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.

This is an old feature, it existed long before LLMs. Nothing needs to be hard coded, machine learning is/was advanced enough to do it already.

Clue did it the best

A&W for root beer floats, Mug preferably over Barqs, but almost no fast food place around here have Mug. Barqs does have caffeine as well which is a nice pick-me-up

Ran it through Google Translate and they’re not even dates 🤣
