I realized that I click "like" some people's posts just because they are liked by some other people. I actually didn't finish reading or read the whole posts myself.

Let me set your Overdrive to Stoic.fresh_42 said:How do I manage to achieve @Mark44's magnificent stoicism or @micromass' patience with me when I repeatedly fall into a pithole of a dense set.
Any suggestions? Is that genetic?

Yep, I fought with myself. Then I thought it would be somehow rude to talk about people, even if in a positive way, without letting them know.WWGD said:Careful with the closure operator or you will be crushed.

You're safe: there's probably no one on Earth who can eat 30 kg of anything in one day.fresh_42 said:(I've recently read that 30 kg (cooked) potatoes a day would be poisonous.)
Hi Psinter! I was resting from the dangerous claws of the Internet. Or perhaps I was diving even deeper, into abyss of Dark Web? Jk :-) glad to see you again :-)Psinter said:To all:
Please don't feel free to correct my English misteaks. I will get mad if you do. Because I don't commit misticks.
I'm just kidding.

I commute into London Victoria and frequently see the Orient Express (enormously expensive tour of Kent in Pullman coaches) which is often pulled by a steam engine. They are awesome. I completely understand the arguments for going to electric trains, but...Jonathan Scott said:Just stood in the rain on a crowded railway bridge for a few minutes to see the Flying Scotsman (#flyingscotsman) locomotive go past my local railway station.

WWGD said:Good going, Fresh-Beckham. And, BTW, I never miss-steak, I always eat it when it is nearby.
Still, the quadruple pass started of with Sophia.
That might change when you get this toilet app and your smartphone starts complaining about your not missed-steaks. Then you'll have to go back to your peenut-butt-a-salary.WWGD said:Good going, Fresh-Beckham. And, BTW, I never miss-steak, I always eat it when it is nearby.

Reminds me of the time I went to the electric car drag races, back in 2009.Ibix said:... I completely understand the arguments for going to electric trains, but...
[ref]I went to an electric drag race last year and was rather ho-hummed by the lack of noise.
For example, listen to this image:

Is that one of those designs with the vertical pistons turning an axle mounted lengthwise along the loco? I came across a video of one by chance - it looked really cool. I don't know what the advantages of the design are.OmCheeto said:I wanted to stare at that thing all day, but my friend insisted we go walk the dog.

Everything I know about trains, I learned in the last 12 hours. So I'm the last person you want to direct a question about them.I came across a video of one by chance - it looked really cool. I don't know what the advantages of the design are.
Interesting fact about the Orient Express service I mentioned - it is pulled by an engine called Tornado, which is a modern steam locomotive. It's an improved version of an old class used by London & North Eastern Railway, built by enthusiasts between 1994 and 2009, pretty much just because. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Peppercorn_Class_A1_60163_Tornado
