If it’s a Tesla, it’ll be right around the corner forever. Guess judgement day is still far away.

I had one across the Airbnb I had in Vienna (Austria) and checked it out for dinner for old times sake and it wasn’t as good as I remembered it.

That’s a valid reason, but why not have 7 minute trains in the city? Metro use to be great when I was a teen but it’s been a slow decline before the pandemic even. I know it’s by design, but it just sucks when you see the potential for transit when you go to European cities that put the focus on mass transit, bikes and walkability.

Seriously. Right now I’m on a platform and it’s every 2 or 3 minutes. Vienna is a 1/3 the size we are.

Those times depress me. I’m currently in Vienna (Austria) on vacation and they have trains running every 4 minutes in rush hour, clean stations and clean trains. Why can’t a city as important as DC get its system under control.

I had one since 8th grade and I’m 42. Got rid of it cause of a flood that left it moldy a year ago. It had a good run!
