It'd be tons more convenient! But the Class I Railroads won't let that happen.
The reason why Amtrak is great in the Northeast Corridor and so mediocre everywhere else is because the Class Is own the tracks and control all of the traffic flow. Amtrak would run more trains tomorrow if they could.

An Urbanist credo: Cities aren't loud. ICE cars are.

"Fewer than 300 seats" feels somewhat disingenuous--Seat Miles is the stat that matters. People riding from end-to-end is the exception not the rule.
The majority of Amtrak's usage outside of the Northeast Corridor is providing transport to small, underserved communities, not vacation trips like in this post.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with not sharing your last name before a dating app first date.

They've been doing this since at least 2019. When I shut down my Meetup, they sent a note out to everyone asking them to "Step up to become this Meetup Group's Organizer and you can guide its future direction!". Thankfully, I knew it was coming and messaged everyone beforehand so there wasn't any confusion.

It's not an app, but I'm a huge fan of Struggle Meals. It helps reduce analysis paralysis in the kitchen, focusing on keeping important staples in the house and working with whatever you have on hand.

As someone who maxed out multiple credit cards trying to pay for sports data, I know this pain all too well. If you're working on a hobby app, we give sports data away for free.
