    • @richbarr5959
      @richbarr5959 6 років тому +508

      Saying that something happens at ___o'clock is just a label; there really isn't any difference if the label is divided into segments or not. Even in the US there are major differences in the time zones. I've lived in the more eastern part of the Eastern time zone (PA and NY) and also in the western part (West Michigan); the sunrise/sunset patterns were markedly different for the hour, but it affected nothing else.

    • @QuantumBraced
      @QuantumBraced 6 років тому +330

      Sure, but that's within reason. If California was on Eastern time, the sun would rise at 9 AM in the winter and set at 11 PM in the summer. There are cities North of the Arctic circle where that happens, but it would be disrupting to big cities. In China nearly everyone is in the East, which is how they can get away with it I guess.

A lot of them who had a table in their car probably took it out (more common than you think!) and sat down to have some fun.

      Today I drove the long way home because traffic was so fucked up. I don't mean I took like 3 more minutes either. Normally it is an hour and a half to go the long way and 20-30 minutes (depends on the lights) the other way. Today however traffic was so fucked up it took me 15 minutes to about half a mile. So I noped out and took the long way, arriving home more than 30 minutes earlier than I would have had I gone the normal way. Traffic engineers need to get their heads out of their asses and solve the real problems instead of doing speed surveys on the same road for the 5th time in a month.

    A Chinese novelist, Zheng Yuanjie, wrote a short fictional story back in the 1990s, about a bus in a devastating traffic jam has gone on for YEARS, in which food are transported into the buses and wastes out by volunteer, but people may not leave the bus because regulation says a bus may only open the door when it reaches a station.
    Over the years, one passenger had died due to complications of old age. He was not allowed to be transported off the bus, so he had to be preserved there. New technologies were developed just to do that. People came to his funeral on the bus. The bus has become a big family where no one intended to be with another for more than 20 minutes.
    In the story, eventually, after the state had built many, many more roads with a new mayor and everything, the traffic jam was resolved. The bus finally reached its destination. And people in it, they don't know what they should do about their life next.
    (Pin this if you liked his story! He is such a brilliant author that nobody knows in the west.)

    well...G110 isn't a national highway... it's considered as"national road", which is usually not fully sealed, cross the cities or villages, and a lower limit of speeds (some cases can down to 40kph while the highway is usually often limit from 80-120kph depends on the type of the car and the type of highway and the lines that highway have).
    And for the explanation, Mongolia and China have a different type of railroad ranges, China is 1435mm while Mongolia is 1520mm...so it's impossible to use trains for easy cargo transportation. The Daqin railroad, the railroad from Datong, Shanxi to Qinhuangdao, Hebei, it's the most important coal transportation for coals which transport 1.1milion tons of coals per day at 120kph max.​

      1:00 He actually_has_ to make a *CORRECTION* here. Because the methane produced by the cows is mainly from their belches. There are multiple studies of this.
      NASA even did studies on this. Sources:

      climate.nasa.gov/faq/

    There is a break-of-gauge between Chinese standard gauge railway and Mongolian Russian gauge railway, preventing efficient cargo traffic. Adn there is plain not enough tracks in Mongolia or Inner Mongolia to carry the coal. Currently significant work is being put in place to allow transport of Inner Mongolian coal on rails using 30000-ton trains hauled by HXD1 and HXD2 locomotives, two of the most powerful locomotive series ever produced in the world. There are also talks for building standard-gauge heavy-haulage railway in Mongolia for the export of coal.
