      In America, public transportation is not necessary, or the "cool" way to travel. For the most part (other than inside very large cities) just a "oh, we should probably have some of that here" sort of thing. America is large and spread out, and we like cars and personal liberty. All of that together pretty much says that the US will never have a great public transportation option.

      I get that outside of large metropolitan areas the economics do not work. I have no problem with the limited availability of public transit in the United States.

      I detest the fact that the service cannot even remotely run on a decent schedule.

      I will be commuting from Chicago to St. Louis twice a month. My first choice was to take Amtrak. But investigation revealed that trains between St. Louis. And Chicago are often hours behind schedule. The is completely not feasible.

      Exactly my point. The only places that have even made a feeble attempt are large metro areas, and those aren't even really treated very seriously. I think there probably just isn't the consistent user base to create the funds to keep things running smoothly, and the lack of revenue requires subsidies, and nobody is handing out free money to keep these unprofitable lines up to snuff. Ergo, stuff is always broken or at least generally sub-standard.

                Well If I had my choice... there is a hammock in the other room that needs to be worked out. It's new and needs to be stretched.

                      Define Chat...If you mean grumblings and dark cloud formations,.. yup.. that's about right.

                      Nearly out of tea myself... I'll have to skip out early for lunch to make more. Be back about dinner time... 😄

                          Had some pretty serious power issues over the weekend. Seems our primary site was down for a good 2-4 hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning. The UPS's made a valiant effort keeping the infrastructure running for over an hour.. but they failed fairly early in the morning and brought down the two hosts attached to them. Thankfully everything shutdown and rebooted gracefully when the power was restored (except for a small issue with a Linux box that was quickly remedied).

                            @coliver That sounds like a good way to start a Monday. People running around "It's broken! It's broken!"

                            You step onto a nearby podium: "It's not broken! Get to work!"

                              yikes - fun way to start the week.... not. Upside like you said was that they shutdown gracefully;...

                                The hosts actually came back online at ~6AM Sunday morning. I was really impressed, no manual intervention required. As far as the majority of people are concerned we didn't have any issues when they came in this morning.

                                We did have a internet outage from 6AM-10AM as well on Sunday, which is when one of the two people that were working yesterday called me.

                                      Running around like a mad person installing a new exe on all of my end user machines that requires local admin rights to run.

                                          PowerShell?

                                            Why? I would never do that. There's got to be a way to do it remotely even if you have to re-wrap the install.
