The problem is mostly that we don't build rail spurs in industrial areas anymore. If we did, then these cars could detach from trains at a shunting yard, and split up to head to all their different destinations individually. But the only last-mile infrastructure we currently have is roads.
The biggest reason why companies use trucks instead of trains is that you can fill a semi truck and send it off a lot quicker than you can fill a whole train. I think rail cars capable of individual operation would work great in place of semis, because you get all the benefits of the smaller size, but you could also link them up into full trains for efficiency when possible.
Some people should really not be allowed to drive without passing some sort of "basic knowledge about vehicles and what to do when something goes wrong" course.
And yet we hand out drivers' licenses like candy because the alternative is being trapped at home with no bike or transit infrastructure.
And that's the whole ideology of ABA, to get rid of certain behaviors as if the reason people were doing those behaviors was simply because they couldn't understand that they shouldn't do them. Stimming isn't just pointless disruption, it's an important tool for self-regulation. Limited speaking isn't just a refusal to communicate, it's an actual difficulty with the medium of spoken word. Beating these traits out of people, either figuratively or literally, doesn't solve the underlying issues that affect their internal experience and their happiness.
Sorry for ranting at you, I just get so mad about this topic.
My mother was a special education teacher, and she saw my stimming and sensory issues and decreed them to be a problem because I'd never be "normal" (and I use the term loosely). "You're so smart! You can't have any issue with anxiety! Lights are that bright for everyone, and no one else complains! Figure it out!"
I was in special ed and the teachers were like that there too. It's so frustrating how the people with the most power over autistic people's lives are so often the people who understand us the least.
"yeah but those places are really expensive to live"
They're expensive because they're rare. Supply and demand. If more places became better at walkability, then everywhere already walkable would get cheaper.
It's more acceptable if the lane is wide enough to overtake and/or they're running at a decent clip, i.e. 10-15 mph. But jogging is usually more like 5-10 mph.
One downside of a formal diagnosis is that it might make it harder to move to some countries. But if you're already in Canada then that shouldn't be too much of a concern.
But vegetables and fruits are so inconsistent. You never know what the texture is going to be until you bite into them. Every blueberry or apple has the potential to be mushy, or sour, or unpleasant in any number of other ways. Consistency is solely the domain of grain.
I don't think it's likely that there is a minimum volume, at least not a discrete quantized one. It would have to be a [regular honeycomb tessellation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_(geometry)) that shows no bias towards any particular direction (i.e. no corners). There are no shapes that fulfill both of those conditions in 3D space.
And even in between counties. I cross the county line between a well-funded suburban county and a dirt-poor rural county occasionally and the road quality is night and day.
The government should just pass a law banning capitalism and then we wouldn't have to worry about strikes at all, but that's also never going to happen.
That doesn't mean it's a bad idea, just that it's too extreme by the standards of US politics. Unions here often still need basic protections like the right to strike at all in the first place. Check out the rules against teachers striking in Texas, they'd be banned from public sector work and lose their pensions. The only way they could possibly go on strike is with a vast enough majority to force the state government to repeal those rules.
Many Texans.
If commuter cars can be replaced then so can commuter trucks.

It's named after the bases but I believe it includes the outfield too.
It's called a baseball diamond.

Parks. With pedestrian infrastructure and free public restrooms.
Tribunal came down first, she couldn't.
