Nope. Unless you recognize engine 4012, the "Spirit of Healy".
Just something I saw on reddit pics. Supposedly a "photobombing" although I doubt the timing was a coincidence. The engineer deciding to wave for the camera might have been a bit of good luck.

https://www.businessinsider.com/what-a- ... ns-2020-11Biden promised a 'railroad revolution' that could see faster trains and a return to Amtrak's nostalgic past — here's what Americans might see
- President-elect Joe Biden is expected to be a friend to Amtrak following decades of loyal ridership during his time in the US Senate.
- A Biden presidency could finally see funding for new tunnels under the Hudson River, a project defunded by the Trump administration.
- An expansion of high-speed rail is also on the table as Biden seeks clean energy solutions for transportation.

Well, you have wars to wage, that distracts…
Are there lobbying groups for rail? More generally, for infrastructure?

A pit for graft. Period.
The reason is simple. The process of even getting to "start" is generational. That means that no one notices the payoffs and graft. It is just part of getting the job done. Since the likelihood of it ever finishing is zero, the whole mess will be consigned to the memory hole.

My appreciation of Abdul is this: When it comes to gay Jews, he's only second to Roy Cohn.

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
People are shitting themselves to death
Crap so much they fail to take a breath
But even when their kids are starvin'
They thought Trump would throw them Charmin.

Re: Abdul Alhazred Appreciation Thread

Since 1980, in-the-know computer gamers have been enthralled by the unpredictable, random, and incredibly deep gameplay of Rogue and those games inspired by it, known to fans as "roguelikes." For decades, this venerable genre was off the radar of most players and developers for a variety of reasons: deceptively simple graphics (often just text characters), high difficulty, and their demand that a player brings more of themselves to the game than your typical AAA title asks. This book covers many of the most prominent titles and explains in great detail what makes them interesting, the ways to get started playing them, the history of the genre, and more. It includes interviews, playthroughs, and hundreds of screenshots. It is a labor of love: if even a fraction of the author's enthusiasm for these games gets through these pages to you, then you will enjoy it a great deal.

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
