But wait. Do most actual trains use the linux kernel? I thought most ones were those traditional cargo ones, without any kind of computing system.
In the US I can comfirm both GE (freight and passenger) and siemens passenger locomotives run Linux. Some passenger trainsets/cars still run embedded XP.
Pretty much all locomotives running out there today have a plethora of computers for managing fuel economy, brakes, and positive train control (rules compliance). Fun fact: the union pacificâs 4104 âbig boyâ steam engine was fitted with wabtecâs I-ETMS PTC which is powered by Linux so thereâs literally a steam powered locomotive running Linux.
I hate how long it took me to figure out the intended meaning of this tweet.
I had to look up the meaning and now I can only imagine the confusion this person must have felt, before he figured it out, lol.
Even better
I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. Iâm here telling my American friend how funny it is that Germanâs call smart phones a âhandyâ, like âhaha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)â, but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining Germanâs giving each other hand jobs.
Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go âoh, I know what YOUâRE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!â. No, I donât, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of âjokeâ never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?
To be fair itâs rather odd they call it that. Germans seem rather strange with English in general.
They go to public viewings to watch on their beamers. Even when no one has died. Lothar MatthĂ€us claims âIâm a German record playerâ. They carry stuff around in their body bags and listen to music from âboxenâ.
Merkel even told the english press about her shitstorm. Every day there is a cringe moment.
I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the âdudesâ temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.
Uhh⊠your mom never made it past puberty?
Got 'em!!! Fucking burn dude!
