- Comment on Sharing a Bed With Your Kid? It’s Totally Normal in Asia. 6 hours ago:
According to Chinese Human Geography textbooks, native Mexicans are mongoloid and thus the same race as East Asians.
Not that I support this obsolete racial classification; just a relevant fun fact.

- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 day ago:
It was a tacked-on retrofit of a planned ambitious interurban streetcar network, converted to a light rail system after a lot of it was already built. The trains don't even use some of the built track. This used technology that was completely different from the rest of the network and only found there within all of Toronto. The sharp corners the cars weren't particularly designed for effected loud shrieking guitarless metal heard far and wide, loud and clear at the Kennedy bus platforms. When it came time to decide the future of the line, the planners decided to blow it up and start it anew (well, turn it into a three-station extension to Line 2); among other things, all of the above plus relatively low usage and decades of inattention prior to the "what now?" discussions made their usual maintenance unprepared and inadept. In fact, just four months before the planned closure, a train derailed due to failures of track maintenance.

btw as mentioned below, line 3 was cut to make way for replacing it with a line 2 extension

outside the city
i swear i included that it was outside the centre... apparently i didn't, sorry
Double that for room for a family
the source includes prices for 3-bedroom flats
While living in a polluted city
fair but that's not exactly a construction safety condition
and it's not much either. the AQI there is squarely in the 50s, which is moderate, which means
Unusually sensitive people: Consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion. Watch for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. These are signs to take it easier.
Everyone else: It's a good day to be active outside.i can't believe this is the official fed AQI language ngl it reads as if it was translated copy
What about 15 years ago?
if you really think it would change that much i think you should prove it
Imagine the outcry using this cheap technique to build in Toronto.
a lot more people everywhere live paycheck to paycheck as migrant workers than you probably think

Even if that is true, this is pristine underground rail!
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 days ago:
Can you please "correctly present" what about the classic Chinese cookie-cutter metro technology is deficient and 25% behind Western technology?
For why Chinese metro construction seems apparently faster you can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehTy-qQVZhM; it's just like them Cape Cod suburbs in North America.

Why‽ There's no sign of this subway failing at all. Rail enthusiasts everywhere praise Asian subways.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 days ago:
what do you mean "knock 25% off of that" (off what?) and "without cheating it becomes pretty obvious we're working with the same technology and fundamental logistics in this map"? sorry i'm just struggling to parse this
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 days ago:
Sorry, I got confused by the regional rail lines.

That doesn't really place the transit network.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 days ago:
According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/278351/average-wage-of-employed-persons-in-urban-units-in-china/ it's about $6 USD per hour. I only found 4 deaths and if there are any more they haven't been reported, though anecdotally I've never heard screaming around construction sites.

The maps above also seem to be differently scaled.
The Toronto map is ~2x more-a-zoomied-in, judging by the distances between the farthest stations. In 2024, looking at the track maps, the driving distance between the farthest stations (Kipling to Kennedy) is 35km while that of Chengdu (天府机场北 to 何公路) is 93 km.

There's a difference between osteopaths anywhere and Doctors of Osteopathy in the US. I think you should read the article, which mentions that DO degrees have to be accredited by medical colleges, among other things.
