And Hafthor Bjornsson can lift 500kg. I guess that means small cranes are shit?
I could do that as well, easily! It might take a while, I'd chop those 500 up to more handleable 20kg or so, and I might need some breaks.
And snacks.
I’d just use a lever.
The running is more impressive though, as he wasn’t run over by a vehicle.
But we can agree on the snacks, right?
I'm thinking of those crispy puff pastry-cheese things, maybe some veggie sticks with hummus, some olives, a cheese board, some fruit, ...
Don’t forget the shrimp chips!
I don't think the sidewalks along Finch are used much.
Agree, and to add: That the Finch West LRT doesn't have signal priority is criminal. I live in K-W, and the iON is good because it has signal priority, and it still gets stopped by traffic signals relatively frequently.
The Ion has automatic signal priority in some places, but at other intersections it only uses its priority if it's behind schedule. I think it could, in theory, run the whole route without stopping at all.
That's also not really the point. Most workplaces limit manual lifting to 50lbs or less. Just because people can lift more doesn't mean it's reasonable to expect them to do it. Similarly, the vast majority of people are not going to be willing or able to run 20k a day going to and from work.
Depending on use case, yes I am fine with parts of the system being equal to jogging. If the UP express were the same speed as jogging, yeah, that would be a problem. For a short local surface route, with multiple stops, I'm less concerned. Especially when it's only been open for a week and there's already known fixes planned.
In my city, there is a LRT/Bus I take to visit a friend. It takes me about 5 mins longer to walk there then by transit, 45 mins by transit 50 mins on foot
How many millions of $ does a small crane cost?
