![]() Even if you're a "I refuse to take the bus" guy, MARTA rail gets you within a 15-minute walk of the Georgia Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/Centennial Park, Piedmont Park, the future Georgia State Turner Field development, Georgia Tech campus, Little 5 Points, Downtown Decatur, Phipps Plaza/Lenox Square, Lindbergh, Perimeter Mall, Grady Hospital, Emory Hospital, The Varsity, Peachtree Center, Fox Theatre, The Tabernacle, Oakland Cemetery, and lots of other places of interest. The train hits many high-traffic areas of town, and the bus fills in all the major gaps. But inside the perimeter, there aren't any key places it doesn't go. well, because MARTA is a really fast and convenient way to get to the airport.Īs far as "doesn't really go to that many places" goes, I guess that's true for outside the city. MARTA ranks highly on speed/convenience on getting to the airport not because it's a less expansive system, but because. While obviously not as expansive as rail systems in NYC, Chicago, DC, SF, etc., I'm not sure why this would help MARTA rank highly on getting to the airport. ![]() This is mainly because MARTA doesn't really go to that many places. Same reason the massive parking decks at Lindbergh never fill up, no one wants to drive a long distance, park, and then ride. Driving almost an hour to North Springs and parking to head into town isn't that appealing.once you're at the NS exit you've already driven halfway to the city, screw it, might as well drive the other half. You couldn't get a more random sampling of every class and ethnicity in the country.Then again, the folks up in North Fulton probably wouldn't know this if they've never taken it.Īnd yeah, running Red all the way to Windward at least would be a huge boon, not only because of the traffic but also the change in transportation mode is far earlier. I ride the trains to class three days a week and the Red and Gold lines are a human rainbow. I will, however, state a suspicion that it may not be as big a deal as it may at first seem. Too many yokels in the boonies who still view Atlanta as an sinful den of iniquity. I was mainly referring to the complete and total lack of state funding for MARTA. The open question remains the subjective political one, is the cost of building it worth the outcome? All of these questions have answers already (or the answers can be found within a reasonable level of uncertainty). "How much will any of these cost" is, again, answered via statistical analysis. Even "where do we build it to maximize ridership?" is answered via statistical analysis. This question is already answered via statistical analysis. ![]() The question really isn't "if we build it, will they come?". In general, the empirical rule still holds, the more places a system reaches, the more likely someone is going to use it. On the question of actually lowering fares, running the system at a financial loss, and subsidizing it with tax revenue for the purposes of increasing ridership, and whether or not this is a worthy social goal, this is a subjective political question.įor the rest, though, there is a ton of data here, and other data from the hundreds of other transit systems throughout the world. The agency can also test ridership for different fares, how much a lower fare increases ridership. For trains, just compare the Red and Gold north of Lindbergh Center versus south of it. For buses this would be comparing routes with different intervals. The change in ridership versus the change in train and bus frequency can also be found by comparing the ridership of routes controlled for the other factors. We can control for those with monthly passes (who are more likely to take lots of short trips) versus those who put money on the cards, to filter out that effect. If we assume that any particular ride could have been substituted for a car ride (this is reasonable because most anyone can take an Uber) and comparing the MARTA trip time versus a car ride at that hour of day, we can find a relation between how much extra time a person is willing to spend using the system instead of just driving (or time saved when traffic is bad). ![]() This data is stupendously useful.īy comparing the lengths of trips versus the number at that length, a relation can be established between trip length and usage. They know where and when every card boarded, where and when it disembarked, whether it transferred between bus or train, and by using a proper algorithm can even make a reasonable estimate of which trips were commutes (the card will show regular use on the same hours of the same days) versus one-time uses. The agency has the data of every single Breeze card in use. ![]() It is irrational if based on pure assumptions and not on a proper mathematical model. ![]()

On the plus side there’s Vicky Krieps, who was so ineffable in the film Phantom Thread, as Simone Strasser, a wartime translator from Alsace caught on the horns of a dilemma. The USP of Das Boot 2.0 is that the underwater drama has to budge up to make room for landlubberly intrigue involving the resistance. Several still are, and in the first episode at least one of the two instances of female nudity – a landlady giving herself a body wash – felt exploitative. What it means in practice is that not all the female characters are prostitutes with two lines of dialogue, as they mostly were in the film. This sounds like a far-fetched category error. ![]() So this new version is hailing itself as a U-boat drama for the #MeToo generation. Pity poor old Rainer Bock, back in costume having played an almost identical Nazi apparatchik in BBC One’s SS-GB.Īnother tour of duty for the Das Boot franchise could be said to lack the merit of urgency. You have to feel for a generation of German actors who, after Downfall, thought they’d moulted the uniform of the SS and the Gestapo. Hoffmann’s particular nemesis is his immediate underling, First Watch Officer Tennstedt (August Wittgenstein), a prig with quivering nostrils who looks as if he last smiled in 1933. Some of those attitudes prevail in the new ship commanded by rookie captain Hoffmann (Rick Okon) as they burrow out into the Atlantic, but national politics play second fiddle to the simmering tensions among men cooped up in a metal tube with only one khazi. It sidestepped the issue of war guilt by ensuring the brave and hardened crew were no fans of Hitler. That thought has not occurred to the producers of Das Boot (Sky Atlantic), who have exhumed the world of German submariners explored in Wolfgang Petersen’s acclaimed 1981 film, later fattened up as a television drama, and turned it into a sequel.ĭas Boot was German cinema’s first major portrait of the war effort. When someone at BBC News at Six accidentally spliced footage of Spitfires onto a recent story about Prime Minister Theresa May going to Brussels, it occurred to me that a moratorium on the Second World War is overdue. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’ll have a lot at your disposal: At first you’ll only have a rusty sword and your choice of a bow or a shield. For enemies that are about to attack, they have an exclamation point tell over their heads. The back and forth of combat is something you learn over a (short) period of time. The way all the weapons are handled is so well done. Grenades have cool down timers, but are in infinite supply. Most of the game is melee focused, but for things like bows, they have ammo you need to concern yourself with. The weapon variety of what drops keeps things fresh, and there’s rarely something you don’t want to try out or use unless it is somehow inferior. The first weapon is one you don’t realize right away, and that’s a downward slam from a jump that can devastate enemies later in the game. Levels have branching paths, but you’ll always end up in some of the same areas.ĭead Cells has combat and flow down to a science. Dead Cells has three bosses carefully spaced between its three acts, and their order is all the same. It’s important to know that the level layout and item placement are the most random and procedural elements of the game. And this is rather easy to do after a few short runs. For those new to roguelikes, or ones that don’t like them do their reliance on death: death is not a setback if you at least can complete one area and deposit cells into a perk or upgrade. This is a skill-based game, and finally one where RNG isn’t the biggest enemy. It is possible to beat the game, but except for respites in-between levels, there are no saves or checkpoints to cradle you. Thankfully, Motion Twin has made this possible with an excellent gameplay loop: fight, collect orbs (known as cells), and survive as long as you can so that you can cash in your cells towards upgrades, die, repeat. Making a new game out of two worn genres like Metroidvanias and roguelikes is no easy task. ![]() Now with the “1.0” build, I’m confident in saying that it’s still special, a prime example of Early Access done right, and one of the finest games of the year. When I previewed this last year, I knew it was something special. If you didn’t know, this has been on Steam Early Access for the past year and change. Dead Cells is a first of its kind roguevania, and while the idea of mashing up these genres seems a bit strange, it works incredibly well. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a cool and rainy spring day in North Texas, and Quinn Ewers has just arrived at an afternoon practice in the massive indoor football field at Southlake Carroll Senior High School in the Dallas–Fort Worth suburb of Southlake. Years later, after the Smith and Ewers families became friends, Smith told Curtis that after he and Quinn left the field that day, Smith turned to his son and asked, “Well, how do you feel about playing running back?” He said, ‘Three.’ It was just ridiculous.” As they were leaving, I asked Curtis how old his son was. “My son wanted to be a quarterback, and I was going to teach him to throw,” says Ryan Smith, who lived in Pleasanton at the time. One day, another father-son duo showed up to play catch. “I’d get down on my knees and we’d play tackle, and then we’d just throw the ball back and forth.” When Quinn Ewers was a young boy, he and his father, Curtis, would sometimes head up to the high school field in Pleasanton, Texas, to play football. Editor’s note: This story was published in the August/September issue of Garden & Gun, before Quinn Ewers announced he would forgo his senior season in high school and enroll early at Ohio State. ![]() ![]() ![]() Diagnostic tests are viral (RT-PCR) diagnostic and screening laboratory tests (excludes antibody testing and PT-PCR testing for surveillance purposes). **Percentage of RT-PCR tests in the community (e.g., county that are positive during the last 14 days is calculated by dividing the number of positive test over the last 14 days by the total number of test resulted over the last 14 days.

![]() ![]() But their main mission is to protect the Balance even during Armageddon until the end of Creation all in the name of the council. ![]() They commit all sorts of missions (such as investigation, execution, punishment, espionage, fighting and so on) which they have to carry out. Other than the Crowfather and possibly Lilith, none but Death, who collected the souls personally, knew of this as the Council had ordered the souls to be cast into the Abyss. Thus, the Riders became the last of the Nephilim in all of Creation, the souls of their brothers and sisters sealed away and entrusted to the Crowfather. It was speculated later by Strife however, that the Nephilim were perhaps not so great a threat to the Balance as the Council made them out to be, and that the extermination may have been a test of the Horsemen's loyalty. It was the price they had to pay to absolve themselves of theirs and their species crimes. The first actual mission the Charred Council gave them was to kill all the Nephilim. They also appear to have been "selected" in some way by the Council, rather than having sought the Council out.įirst among their council given tasks was to travel to the Far Fields where they encountered an agent of the council in the The Horsemaster, a sagely warrior and master of the Phantom Horses which made their homes there who guided them through on acquiring their own horse mounts/companions: Ruin, Despair, Rampage and Mayhem. ![]() Though technically siblings as the entire race of Nephilim are descended directly from Absalom, the four appeared not to have known each other particularly well before they defected from the Nephilim crusade. It is said that they also got new powers and abilities from the Council which made them much more powerful than their ex-allies. The Riders are four of the Nephilim who refused to continue their bloody crusade over Creation with their brethren and swore their loyalty to the Charred Council. Death to The Keeper of Oblivion, The Abomination Vault Some of my earlier sins-my actions when I rode at the forefront of the Nephilim horde, before my brothers and I realized the extent of our transgressions and broke away-were committed in the name of beliefs and agendas to which I no longer subscribe. ![]() ![]() If this could be duplicated in Minecraft a plugin like this could add a tremendous amount of immersion to the game when playing on mega servers with massive populations.
