Was Scully ever right when Mulder was wrong? Why didn't she just listen to him? He always proved her wrong. She just wasted their time.

Thanks for posting this, I fell into a Wikipedia hole reading about all the ships in there. There is some really fascinating stuff. I liked this one in particular

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Canon_(PG-90)

The first USS Canon (PGM-90/PG-90) was a Asheville-class gunboat in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. She is currently on donation hold.[1]

Canon was laid down by the Tacoma Boatbuilding Company, Tacoma, Washington on 28 June 1966, and commissioned 24 June 1967.

Canon served off the coast of Vietnam as part of Operation Market Time. In one operation the ship took 8 rocket hits and 14 crew members wounded. One Navy Cross, three Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars were awarded to members of the crew.[2]

Canon was decommissioned on 31 January 1977.

She is currently on donation hold, and is berthed at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia, PA, while a group in Wisconsin works to bring her to Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Canon has been identified as pending dismantling by the 2015 US Navy 30 year Shipbuilding Plan.[3]

Fuck you Sheboygan, we can go see her whenever we want! Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo

Amtrak NYC to Philly should not be $114. Ridiculous. With two people (and a puppy) in two directions it ends up being cheaper to rent a car.

Think in the business they call it round trip.

Yeah, it really is ridiculous. I flew to Orlando last year for $80 round trip yet Amtrak charges more than double that for a 90 min train trip

It's reasonable if you do Septa between 30th St/Trenton and NJ Transit between Trenton/Penn Station. Takes longer, obviously.

Price to pay to use shipping tracks

I hate to be that old guy - but when I was taking train to NYC all the time and then living in Manhattan and going the other way, it was $36 round trip. $24 and half off for the other way $12.

The local from 30th to Trenton, then Trenton to NYC was $10.

It's a damn crime that the rail industry was decimated which is basically the doing of GM post WWII.

I'm for a total revamp of green rail, and nationalize airlines too. Regulate them. Subsidize them. And get people out of cars and make air travel reliable, safe and not crazy priced. I'm also open to not being able to fly non-stop to a lot of places 3 times a day 7 days a week if the demand isn't there.

If we had trains that for some portions of the travel could get up to 300mph, then in 3 hours you've done 1/3 the nation. For me in Calif, with fam and friends in NY Phila. DC etc... I'd do trains if it only took say day and half... and I'd make flight changes if it meant I could afford it and it was safe and I had sufficeient leg room to not get thrombosis.

Private train and Private air, and transportation in general, is nuts. If we need it as part of modern day life, cut the military bs pork and stop subsidizing Pharma and let's rebuild infrastructure and make trains and planes, and single payer health care, and lots of things for the common good. Subsidize as needed. Tax the rich, tax the corps. That's a healthy nation with enough for all and not the lifestyle of a Pharoah for a select few... but I digress...

Phila-NYC on train should never be over $65 round-trip even in 2017.

Any of you jabronis have any dinner recommendations for a bachelor party in Philly? I'm renting a bus so any location in the city will be fine. Looking to spend no more than $40 a head on food. BYOB would be a plus.
