Privately-Owned Rail Cars

We also provide many services, including 480v standby power, water, septic, car wash, parking and switching.

BBC Boss Promises ‘Doctor Who’ Will Carry On—With or Without Disney

The end of Ncuti Gatwa‘s run as Doctor Who was confusing for multiple reasons. But beyond the “Wait, what’s Billie Piper doing here?” of that regeneration scene is a larger question about the show’s future. With no additional seasons scheduled, no updates on the BBC-Disney partnership that powered the Fifteenth Doctor’s seasons, and the most recent showrunner Russell T Davies distancing himself from any Who-related inquiries, fans have been left wondering if, not when, the show will return. Toda

Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it’s not a bad idea.

“It’s not absurd, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of Berlin-based nonprofit search engine Ecosia, says of his company’s unsolicited request to be granted a 10-year “stewardship” of Google’s Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor. His idea is most definitely absurd, but also clever. On Thursday, Ecosia announced it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome to Google and to U.S. Judge Amit Mehta. The judge is expected to rule this month on remedies to his 2024 landmark deci

Tesla Takes So Long to Report Crash Data, Even Trump’s Regulators Are Taking Notice

It turns out it’s actually possible for a corporation to drag its feet for so long that even the Trump administration takes issue with it. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it will investigate Tesla’s habit of taking months to submit accident reports that involve the company’s driver-assistance technology, according to a report from Reuters. Just how late is Tesla getting its crash report information to the NHTSA? The agency asks that companies submit reports wit

Best early Labor Day laptop deals 2025: Sales on Apple, Dell, Lenovo, and more

How did we choose these deals? I found over 30 deals in my initial research, and wanted to include them, but decided to keep things short.

Should I buy a MacBook, Windows laptop, or Chromebook? It ultimatley depends on what you want as a user and what you're looking for. There isn't a hardset answer to this

The unbearable slowness of AI coding

The Unbearable Slowness of AI Coding 19 Aug, 2025 I’ve been coding entirely with Claude Code for the past two months. At first it was exhilarating. I was speeding through tasks. I was committing like mad. Now, as I’ve built up a fairly substantial app, it’s slowed to a crawl. Ironically, the app I’m building lets me parallelize many instances of Claude Code at once. Often, I’ll have 5 instances running while I’m thinking about new features. The slowness comes in when I actually need to revi

Miles from the ocean, there's diving beneath the streets of Budapest

Budapest — Every day, crowds flock to the Lukács Thermal Baths in Budapest, soaking in warm mineral-rich pools as yellow trams clatter along Frankel Leó Street. Most never suspect that just yards away, beneath the city’s historic streets, lies a hidden world: a vast underwater cave system heated by geothermal springs. From its entrance, tucked into the base of Rózsadomb — Rose Hill — an affluent neighborhood of elegant villas and tree-lined streets, the Molnár János Cave stretches for over 3.6

Kanye West Said Memecoins ‘Prey On Fans.’ Then He Apparently Launched One

Kanye West, the hip-hop artist who goes by Ye, appears to have launched his own cryptocurrency, YZY, sparking a riot of trading activity. In February, West rejected the idea that he might launch a crypto coin. “I’M NOT DOING A COIN,” he wrote, in a since-deleted post on X. “COINS PREY ON THE FANS WITH HYPE.” He seems to have changed his mind. On Wednesday evening, West’s X account announced the YZY coin in two posts. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said West, in a strangely deadpan vi
