I’ve been taking the Downeaster to commute and I’ve noticed that sometimes the train will pull into a station on the wrong side (going Northbound on the southbound side or vice versa), presumably to avoid traffic with the MBTA commuter rail. If it’s one of the stations where the boarding area is between the tracks then there isn’t a problem, but what about when it’s two separate areas and you have to walk across the tracks to switch sides?
I’m certainly not going to run across the tracks if I notice the train coming in on the opposite side. What are you supposed to do in this situation? It hasn’t happened to me yet, but I do want to be prepared in case it does.
Hello, r/whatcarsshouldIbuy community I'm currently trying to come up with ideas for my next car.
I'm looking for a car that has alot more room than my current Hyundai Elantra, and able to be drive in snow better while also having manual transmission.
So far Subaru Crosstrek seems fit my needs perfectly however I'm looking for more cars that fit this criteria so I have more options.
Thank you
Edit: my budget is for new car trying stay under 30k relatively well kept used car trying to stay under 20k
Edit2 : currently in the US
I’ve gotten into the habit of pulling the shifter out of gear without engaging the clutch. Obviously, I use the clutch putting it into gear or shifting gears, but when I’m slowing down or stopping I just pull the shifter out. What are the long term consequences of this driving behaviour? Thanks for the advice!
My friend was recently in a bad accident in his Model Y with his wife and kid in the back seats.
The accident caused a loss of power to the doors. He was quickly able to get out with the manual front release, and went to the back doors to get his people out. Neither he nor his wife were able to open the door, and she was having a very hard time getting the plastic matte thing out of the door sill to access the manual release.
The car started to smoke pretty bad, so they had to get his wife and kid (in a carseat) out through the driver door, and it took way longer than they would like (he couldn't move his seat because again, no power).
I have seen how quickly EVs can go up in flames after a crash. It is terrifying to think that rear seat passengers could be trapped for an extended period just because the door release is hidden for presumably cosmetic reasons.
Edit: I did some more research and Tesla apparently straight up says there are no rear door release latches, and they are buried way down in there. Sounds like a glass breaking tool is the only alternative here.
Hi, I am new to this community. I am not an organ player, nor an organ donor (sorry, bad pun intended), but a composition student who dived deep into counterpoint. Fugue writing is my favourite of all counterpoint writing. That's why I want each voice to be easily audible and followable, especially for those who only listen to fugues occasionally, or who are just getting into the subject. I know that it is generally easier to hear the individual melodies on an organ than on the piano, because held notes actually sound sustained.
Now, church organs have several manuals for the hands as well as one for the feet. The number depends on the organ, of course, but in general one can say that every organ has at least one manual for the hands and one for the feet. To what extent can different sounds/pipes/stops be assigned to the different manuals? Or is that possible in general and in principle?
I hope this is not a stupid question to ask here, but before I make a MIDI mock-up, I would like to know whether it is realistic or not.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I know that you cannot play on two manuals with one hand at the same time hence, I know that giving each parts its own sound is limited (if possible in general), but you get what I mean.
