Manuals can still be faster if you know you're about to put your foot down, and you're in the cheaper end of the market.

Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. 'asshole'? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.

• Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.

• Still an insult.

The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you're so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can't call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.

Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you're comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.

Presumably you do need to tell them "no nuts because I'm allergic".

Funny, $200 is standard in NZ if you pre pay. Can usually post pay though as you say.

Or guess how much fuel you're going to need and pre-auth a little more than that.

I preferred when I was running custom ROMs and could just hold the power button for a second.

It's Spaceball One... She's gone to Plaid.

Paris's RER A is an extreme example, with 10-car double-deck trains moving 2,600 people, ~30 trains per hour. More than a million daily journeys.

The Victoria line is a more frequency-heavy system, with 8-car single deck trains at 1100 passengers at 36tph, or 40k PPHPD.

Fully underground systems usually have shorter trains due to the constraints and costs of building longer underground platforms.

Partly this is because there are 2-4 roads in parallel attempting to move the same number of people, or demand is unmet because people can't get to where they want to go when they want to go.

Honestly you're in the 11-15m range in most cases, because you want lineside equipment (signal cabinets, masts, cable routing etc) and ideally a 4WD path for maintenance access.

9m is doable but you don't built an entire system like that unless you really have to. Equally, your roads have hard shoulders and crash barriers.

Usually these systems rely on people getting on/off at different stops, rather than one stop seeing full volume. If it's one stop, chances are it'll look like a terminus station and you'll need several platforms and possibly dual-side boarding to each train. It'll be quite a bit wider than tracks with no station, or a minimalist station.

This is pretty common at major sports arenas.

The same of course applies to other transit options: high-capacity bus stops take up space, and motorway interchanges and especially carparks also take up a lot of space.

What nonsense?

50k PPHPD is near the top of what can be easily achieved in a metro with one track per direction, but certainly achievable. 2x4m wide tracks and some space for ancillary equipment and fencing is reasonable.

You get maybe one passenger per two seconds in a car lane, or about 1800 per lane per hour. That implies 28 lanes each way, 55 total, or about 165m assuming 3m lanes (pretty narrow). Seems fair to me.

No comment on buses, cyclists, or pedestrians.

Too hot is the least of the problems these cheap chargers are likely to have. Inadequate primary-secondary insulation tends to be far more lethal.
