    Because I would never be able to pull off the look with my body shape.

    But I might be able to pull off a voluptuous tavern wench with the help some shapewear and forms.



  • LLMs (I refuse to call them AI, as there’s no intelligence to be found) are simply random word sequence generators based on a trained probability model. Of course they’re going to suck at math, because they’re not actually calculating anything, they’re just dumping what their algorithm “thinks” is the most likely response to user input.

  • From a technological point, yes. That being said, there are some complications. The US runs double-stacked intermodal freight so clearance is a concern, first of all. It’s doable, in fact India has many electrified lines that allow for double-stacked intermodal freight, but it does add a little to the cost and effort. The second issue is, unfortunately, cost, but not because it’s outright “too expensive”. Rather, it would eat too much into the short-term quarterlies of the various publicly traded rail companies that own a vast majority of the US’s rail lines during the installation. And as publicly traded companies, even if one of the major rail companies wanted to spend the money to electrify, they would get sued by their shareholders for doing so because there’s no immediate return on profits. And the final issue? NIMBYs already hate rail as-is, they’d hate the overhead lines even more.

    So, yeah, a lot of challenges to electrification unique to the US, almost all of them political in nature. It would be really nice to put in electrified rail again (late PRR and New Haven were almost fully electrified but most of that was ripped out after the Penn Central merger. Seriously, everyone likes to rag on New Haven for screwing that up but honestly the evidence all points to the New York Central’s management team being the real culprits).

    That’s a textbook sumo bod and for a moment there I mistook his briefs for a mawashi. It’s a lot of work to build up and maintain that but it is doable. You’ll need to exercise heavily, not only with weight training but cardio as well, and before eating so as to not burn the calories you’re taking in, and you’ll need to eat a LOT of food rich in protein and fatty acids which may or may not align with your preferred foods - calorie intake would be primarily through volume, not density. I’d definitely recommend looking up the traditional sumo training regimen. You’ll also have to keep up the training for as long as you stay big. What often happens to retired sumo wrestlers is that their muscles will immediately start to atrophy and they start to suffer from the various known problems associated with unmanaged obesity unless they work to lose the weight.
