The Attention Deficit Disorder Thread

I've always wondered - after seeing shocking pictures of the India train riders - if the fatality rate was high. Are the train schedules that inefficient that people need to half-hazardly ride like that? :scratchchin:

 

There aren't enough trains.

 

... you would think, with all the people in India, that they could make more factories to make more trains, no?

Or wait, let me guess - there are foreign companies that control the allotment and type of trains used for public transportation in India?

 

No....no foreign companies.....I can't give you a specific answer......but from my experience.....in India......you might think the answer is obvious......but he system is so fucked up that it just doesn't work.

I can take a guess what the problem is.....no money.......or no room for more tracks/trains.....because there is no city planning.....there are corrupt builders wanting to build on every inch of the city.

 

And it doesn't sound like - at least from the news article - the general people don't care at all. Pretty depressing.

 

Nobody....nobody gives a fuck here about any of this.......terrorist attacks......train deaths....rebel attacks.......nobody cares....or even talks about it......each year the train deaths increase......not the police....not the Government.....not the people......poor people don't even care if their kids get killed.....their kid gets killed on the train......the Government gives them some cash to shut them up.....and that's it......I'm betting some even say it was for the best......at least now they have some money.

 

It's a fairly Asian way of thinking - I'm sure there's a big percentage of families in China that feel the same way.

Guess that's why so many people from India and China migrate to US and Canada - to get away from that depressing environment.

 

Anyway, whatcha up to 'sides a little escapism online, Jack?

 

Yup......it's completely fucked up here......and most people don't even know....they just think India is a nice cultural place.

 

Not much really.....yourself?

she hates me.

that is in portage wisconson, its a photo of the inside of a glass melting furnace, im standing at the end were the raw batch goes in, and when its operating it will be about 2600 deg, (f) were those guys are muttling about. and i am learning how to be the project engineer for my company.

 

Thanks.

 

Kind of a big conclusive mental jump to go from "not talking to you" to "she hates me".

 

this is what it looks like empty. lookiing back at the end i was standing in.


when the burners are firing.



this is inside the tin bath, the things hanging down are heating elimments. the glass is floating on a pool of tin, and the wheels you see are water cooled stainless steel that pull he ribbon of glass into the lear. the entire pocess is about 5 or hundred feet long.
lots of plodding around.

 

ive got me some skills
she hates me.
