Part of me wonders what could be done beyond just train lengths. I think train consists should be forbidden from carrying more than a certain amount of different chemicals.

It’s not just a matter of train lengths. Europe and China see far less derailments than the USA by several orders of magnitude and it’s because they actually have safety laws around how these things can be used and what equipment trains need to have. Like brakes that work. And unions that give rail workers more than 90 seconds per car to inspect for issues. And regular maintenance.

That’s functionally the rule they had, before they rolled it back

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
