Since it sometimes comes through as 'Amrmr', I guess some agents are trying that but for their system it isn't stripped.

I only learned they do have the accents from your post. I was taught to omit them about a decade ago (as a second language).

Cool idea but they'd never do it here (UK) because they couldn't spare the police time.

Yeah that's the problem with the overuse of speed cameras.

No decent policing of the roads - as there are hardly any police doing it - focusing entirely on speeding instead of unsafe or poor driving.

Exactly. Sometimes there's someone else on the road driving so badly that the safest thing to do is get away from them. It's much more difficult if you're on a road with lots of speed cameras and no cruise-control because then you have to stare at your speedometer.

I disagree. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adj...

With this the type (?) (universal) comes before the the purpose (co-ordination)

Despite the URL I don't believe this adjective order rule is limited to British English.

I suppose it depends on what is modifying what. If it's actually "universal time" and you have coordinated it, then CUT makes sense. If it's just "time" that you've both made universal and coordinated, then UCT makes sense.

The original post included 'overweight'

It is enough for civil court.

Different standards than a criminal case.

When I read Crime and Punishment, I realised many of what I saw as flaws could be explained by the fact that it was published as a serial. You can't retcon what's already released.

These are maglev trains in vacuum tubes. What's the difference?

Ok then, I've missed this point. Nevertheless, I thought maglev (as well as high-speed rail) hardware is rater complex and expensive.

That's only if it does stop 4-5 times, though. Japan's HSR has trains where some stop at intermediate stations and some just go between major cities.

China is dense? This is a study working towards connecting cities >900 km apart.

edit: article says 2200, maps says 900ish

China's density metrics are skewed by its humongous size, a massive chunk of which is sparsely populated desert.

Its coastal areas, where much of the population is concentrated, is extremely dense

Cities are dense, unlike American ones

I'm not aware of any city-local maglev trains. American cities are still spread out from one-another.

I think you are misunderstanding my point. The issue in America is that you tend to need a car to navigate within a city (metro area). Far less true in China.

Shanghai happens to have one of the few, but it’s not especially practical: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_maglev_train

It is pretty practical when you go to the airport.

There’s the Linimo in Nagoya, Japan
