🇮🇩🇨🇳 INDONESIA LAUNCHES FIRST HIGH-SPEED RAIL IN SOUTHEAST ASIA FUNDED BY CHINA: PART OF BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE (BRI)

Indonesia unveiled the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia Saturday, a joint-project between Indonesia and China funded at 75% by the Chinese State-owned China Development Bank and the remaining 25% was funded by Private Equity from Indonesian and Chinese shareholders. The Project is part of China's increasingly popular Belt & Road Initiative (BRI).

Though the initial project was projected to cost $6 Billion, some cost overruns mostly from land compensation costs raised the bill by another $1.2 Billion. Though by American and European standards, this would be a relatively small overrun.

The new high-speed railway connects Jakarta, a city of more than 10 million, with Bandung, an educational and technology of 2.5 million, with four stops: Halim, Karawang, Padalarang, Tegalluar.

The train four times daily, with a maximum capacity of 600 passengers and travels at speeds in excess of 350kmh (218mph), and covering a total of 142km (88mi).

The new train cuts the travel time between Jakarta's Halim station and Bandung's Padalarang from roughly 3 hours to just over 30 minutes, a truly stunning improvement for these rapidly growing and developing cities.

The high-speed train's cars are equipped with modern amenities including spacious seating, power outlets, and LCD screens while the ride is smooth, with few bumps.

Though a Western media blitz intended to deligitimize the project in recent weeks, actual Indonesian people's excitement about the project is evident.

“We feel very comfortable on the train. We can see how fast it is going,” said Muhammad Risman, a 48-year-old private employee from Jakarta who was taking the test ride with his wife.

"The seats are nice and spacious. The screens are also easy to see and show us what the route looks like.”

While Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, who also rode on the train for the first time last week, expressed his admiration for the project.

“I had visited the high-speed train project site four times before, but this was the first time I actually rode on it. It was very comfortable, and I didn’t feel the speed of 350 km [per hour] at all, whether I was sitting or walking around,” Jokowi said.

“This is what civilization looks like."

I was wondering aboyt creating a world of winged people, especially how their architecture would look. I imagine they'd have lots of tall towers with few ground entrances, most Entrances are partway up buildings or on rooftops. I also suppose the doors are wider than tall for their wings. How about security though, when every balcony/window is a potential entrance? Maybe windows are supposed to be small or doesn't open wide so people can't easily fit through? Would they have separate vocabulary between a balcony as we actually have but can also double as an entrance and a balcony that is meant to be an entrance to a building? Maybe buildings that even lack stairs or lifts is quite common? Anything I'm missing or need to take into account? Also I imagine some of the homeless population might be in the trees I guess? Hey so I asked earlier today about a race of flying people. Just one more questions if you don't mind. What flying speeds/endurance would make sense? As I have it now, the top athletes can reach speeds of up to 350kmh, the equivalent of sprinting and can only sustain it for a minute. But I suppose the average person's top speeds would be more like 300kmh? The average person's casual speed would be around 80kmh I suppose, the equivalent of leisurely walking.

Ebonwing: Depends on how comfortable they are with walking. Lots of winged humans in fiction are as comfortable with walking as they are with flying, and if they are and do a lot of walking they’d have ground entrances and whatnot. If they *don’t* feel comfortable with it, or if it’s difficult for them, then they might favour building upwards rather than sideways.

That being said, only air entrances are unlikely. There will be people who can’t fly well or at all, be it because they’re children or old or disabled. Unless you want to create a society that excludes these groups, you will need to construct your buildings around the presence of ground entrances.

When it comes to security, all you need is break-in secure doors and windows you can close at night, or shutters that are secure that you can close. Getting up on the balcony is often not that difficult in real life either, after all.

Having different words for main-door-balcony and non-main-door balcony is certainly possible, but they might also just not distinguish between balconies and entrances, where balcony and front door are synonymous but the rare balcony that doesn’t have a door inside gets a different word.

In terms of speed: Winged humans already don’t make much sense from a logical standpoint, which is fine because people are willing to suspend their disbelief for it. That also means you have leeway when it comes to top speeds, but consider that the fastest bird we know of is the peregrine falcon with a top speed of 389km/h according to wikipedia, which isn’t that much faster than your winged people–and that’s diving speed, not regular flight speed. Most birds will not reach 350 or even 300 km/h, and your average speed is likewise higher than most bird’s average. I personally would find it difficult to believe they can go faster than almost all real birds. That being said, do you even need to put a hard number on it? If you’re creating this species for a story, most people won’t care too much about how fast exactly they can go.

Licorice: Ebonwing makes a good point: your society will need to consider the needs of its members who cannot fly well or at all because they are too young, too old, or disabled.

As well as their wings, you need to consider their legs and feet. Many species of birds cannot perch, and some cannot walk. I’m not enough of an ornithologist to know which ones exactly, but I have never seen a duck or a swan in a tree, and although the place I live is swarming with seagulls, I’ve never seen a seagull perching in a tree either. Ducks and swans nest on the ground whereas the seagulls around here prefer rooftops, especially flat ones.

I think the anatomy of your people’s legs and feet may dictate their architecture as much as their wings will.

You may have noticed that birds who can fly often choose not to, especially if they’re only going a short distance. IIRC, for many species of birds it takes a lot more effort to get airborne than it does to start walking. Your winged people may prefer stairs; it may just be easier for them.

I was wondering whether a society of people who can fly would develop an etiquette for respecting each other’s privacy. For example, in our society it’s considered very rude to walk up to a stranger’s house and peer in through their windows. Your flying people might have some similar protocol about not flying over or close to each other’s dwellings, unless invited.

Feral: In architectural terms, a balcony is very much not an entrance (note in the link that “accessible” here refers to accessibility from an interior room). Neither is a window. In written media, being specific with your terminology can go a long way to keep you having to break down every little detail. What you are describing is more like a porch, which has the added benefit of sounding like “perch,” or veranda. (I thought it might also be helpful to know what a terrace is, as that seems like a practical addition to your architecture.)

Could someone leave or break-in via a balcony or window? Yes, of course, they can and do without wings here on Earth, but if you are clear with your terms, that will be understood your audience as at best not the intended use and at worst abhorrent and criminal use without you needing to say so.

full offense but if ur a professional racing driver and u drive dangerously because it was your “instinct” or you “couldn’t think straight” or whatever the fuck then u need to uhhhhhhh get therapy and/or find a new career path bc being instinctually reckless when ur job is hurling urself at like 350kmh in a glorified bomb with 20-30 other motherfuckers in your immediate vicinity is wildly inappropriate and unacceptable. learn how to behave and control urself before getting a job like that idc

#literally the 1 criteria for becoming a pro racing driver should be like #can you act like a normal human being who wasn't raised by wolves when ur under pressure?#if the answer is yes you may proceed #if the answer is no you must go to jail go directly to jail do not pass go do not collect $200 #anyway i'll let y'all decide who this post is about #u know me #f1 #ALSO IF YOU'RE A FAN AND YOUR FAVE IS ACTING LIKE A FOOL AND YOU'RE MAKING SOME DUMBASS EXCUSE FOR THEM #LIKE OH IT WAS HIS INSTINCT OR OH HE ONLY HAD ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL #OR OH HE WAS JUST TOO ANGRY #THEN THIS POST IT ALSO ABOUT YOU

Calls to build high-speed 350km/h bullet train from Melbourne to Sydney that would take three hours

Calls are growing a high-speed bullet train between Melbourne and Sydney, which at 350km/h would cut travel time to only three hours.

That would cut eight hours off the current trip between Broadmeadows Station in Melbourne and Central Station in Sydney, which now takes about 11 hours.

Anthony Albanese, Shadow Minister for Transport, Cities and Regional Development, said the creation of a…

the funniest thing about the new MCM 240z is that it could pretty comfortably make 700+hp which is more power than the Mid Night 280z which means that with a bit of aero work and low ratio rear gears, you could push it to over 350kmh...

also wangan midnight is the worst car manga

Donnerstag, 12. Oktober:

Heute war ein Reisetag. Wir haben uns von Kawaguchiko auf nach Kyoto gemacht. Dafür mussten wir zunächst mit dem Bus zum Shinkansen fahren und dann gings im Express bis zu 350kmh ab. 🙂

Der Mount Fuji hat sich uns zum Abschied noch einmal gezeigt. Wir hatten richtig Glück, denn wir konnten ihn an allen drei Tagen sehen.

Es gibt vom Mount Fuji sogar Fanartikel-Motive, auf denen nur Wolken zu sehen sind mit ungefähren Worten wie “hier sollte eigentlich der Fuji zu sehen sein”. Weil er so selten zu sehen ist, wird sich ein Spaß daraus gemacht. :)
