…that’s the shanghai maglev

edit: it was built by siemens though, so get a few euro wank points.

lol… its still thinking about it :D

thx! really good clarifications.

wait for a jetstar sale, fly to japan, save some coin :D

… legit flying to bali or thailand could probs make the $$$ add up.

bit of a tangent… but if you are travelling japan, it’s a great place to get glasses. super cheap, great customer service, free eye test, wide range.

in the past ive got my basic glasses in a couple hours at jins for well under $100.

on last trip i got multi-focals (love them) for ~$170 at megane ichiba, took about a week, but was over the nye break.

because it was cheaper labor

the main problem we have is land banking property developers just sit on land and wait for its value to go up so they can flip and make bank for doing nothing. also what gets built is to maximise profits not provide appropriate housing for all, so we get a lot of “executive suites” with italian tiles, european appliance and other wank shit that’s only there to drive up the price.

the answer as always is good quality public housing available to all (see vienna and singapore).

good bots wear their seat belt 👍

and nothing of value was lost

i’m not saying don’t use green space better… but keep it green.

ps: i live in a very high density area and love it… but build up not out.

you should visit honkers

noice, i didnt know ross had his own site.
