Station stops
Equipment
The train has economy accommodations only.
gollark: Not *all* new phones are glued together and irrepairable, just lots of them!
gollark: Basically all widely-used software has had exploitable flaws of some kind, it doesn't seem to be getting better on the whole, and I don't want that sort of thing running my brain. At least actual brain hardware seems to mostly be insecure in ways which require physical access.
gollark: My main worry with uploading would be possible data loss due to not-entirely-refined processes and/or missing some important bits, and also the current horrible state of software security.
gollark: I mostly store my notes on computers, which have ridiculously huge capacity compared to paper.
gollark: I feel like that could end up being partly obsoleted by 3D printing.
