#shunting
Each country have their specific shunting signals. Most of them tend to show similar colors for their meanings. In Czech ( and Slovak ) railway rules, blue light means shunting is not allowed, while white means shunting is allowed.

Train facts you probably didn't need but you'll get them anyway for this #FursuitFriday 😁🚂🐶

Here we see a "Seřaďovací návěstidlo", essentially, a shunting signal.

Fun fact: In Czech railway slang, these signals are referred to as "ranžírka". This is because the name comes from the German word for shunting: rangieren. 🇩🇪

Do you know what's your country's shunting signals aspect colors? 👀

I am still pondering what legacy they think that they’ve left. Raising taxes in the most economically damaging way possible? Shunting decisions on public spending to the end of the Parliament in the hope that something will turn up? Failing to produce, let alone sell, anything approaching a vision?

Well, if it isn't needed, no need to have the shunting signal cleared. But it could be many things, like for example another train moving through the tracks where the shunting operation needs to drive through also. 😊

Interesting! What's one reason shunting would not be allowed?

It all culminated in Lady and the Tramp replacing dogs. Disney destroyed the hero dog industry, shunting them down to the television.

A major issue with "Let people enjoy things" is that culture and media are part of an inextractable cycle of social progress and decline, and that audience time and money are limited.

People shunting huge amounts of profit into garbage misogynistic shit means better things are left to rot.

Such a cool video. And the idea of the remotely operated S Bahn in Munich is so cool for making shunting more efficient

Poland also uses white and blue for shunting in the same meaning.
Here in Germany, there's no blue, just the white. And red.

I've read this a couple times, and my mind keeps shunting balance == sync. Sync my content to that server. Are there other factors or other ways I should think of this? I want to deconstrain my thinking here.

Like, I get why Trump’s Iran war isn’t being brought up re cost of living due to diplomatic reasons, but simply shunting the focus so much on to welfare feels absolutely crackers, and even more so without acknowledging the extraordinary impact of the pandemic.

Remind of the story Les Ross tells of stopping off en route to his BRMB breakfast show to watch the shunting yard, seeing some nice trains and feeling so pleased he accidentally started driving home again rather than to his show.

You're right and its an issue outside of creative fields as well. Not exactly the lack of trust, but shunting off grunt work to the ai means less new hires in the first place to learn.
Tho maybe all the AI "Startups" lead people to write off independents as well as just another guy with a got sub.

Imagine shunting a generation of your future users to whatever alternate search engine that steps up. I don't hate that outcome for Google.

Just watched “Society” (1989), a movie about Beverly Hills rich people demonically eating and absorbing the bodies of the poor in a ceremony called “shunting.” Insane practical body horror effects by a Japanese artist named Screaming Mad George. Main guy has a jeep with vanity plate “HOOPS“

So, flipping this around, basically, millennials and Gen X are so fucked up that we can't actually see any benefit to human interaction in the hiring process any more so we're just shunting it off on AI to avoid inadvertently making eye contact with an applicant over Teams
"A 23-year-old in Kansas started applying for jobs at fast-food joints and at movie theaters after failing to find work as a paralegal. He answered the phone for one job interview and realized he was speaking to an A.I. agent."

I truly despise the anti-Gen Z discourse. They were raised in dystopia.
