Thank you! I love them, they’re the Grant Stone Crimson Chromexcel Diesel boots

I got them a year ago and they’ve held up wonderfully with some conditioner (even got the sole replaced on another pair after 3 years). Looks like they’re pricier with tariffs (I paid over $100 less than they are now)

My partner spends large portions of her day on Overleaf for collaboration fwiw, but then everyone you work with has to know LaTeX too

Thank you for making it possible for me to visit my friend in Detroit easily!

Not to wax all poetic, but it’s pretty magical riding on a train across the country side during a Fall sunset

Everyone deserves to experience this

Bathroom gets an 8/10.

Spacious but you definitely still know you’re on a train. The motorized door with a button to lock is pretty cool, as is waving to flush.

No paper towels is automatically -2 though.

Finnish trains remain unmatched for having a bidet though

This is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable seat I’ve ever sat on on a long distance train

The seats do have nice tray tables and power outlets though

At a first glance, the new Venture cars are nice! They look modern, and the extra wide aisle is actually pretty nice for getting around folks putting their bags up or getting sorted.

The ride is super smooth too

3 up so far! Sticking to things we’ve said publicly, will eventually be 17 for the pilot plus another 6 at RPM stations

Yep, though without getting into inside baseball, this particular location doesn’t get much sun in the winter so it may take a minute to get parameters set correctly on brightness and when it’s on

The yellow button underneath is for Text to Speech for what it’s worth, it’ll read off upcoming arrivals

I think it’s the same vendor! RTB makes them and I know they do a lot of work in Europe too

Push buttons for traffic signals is a whole niche world that you can dive into. These have a speaker integrated too for the text to speech

Installed fresh this morning, hope you like it!

We should have a customer feedback survey up on the screens soon too

I definitely thought this was real and got excited before I realized my morning coffee just hadn’t kicked in yet

IRM is so far away!
