Hi @Gargron,
this seems a thread about #convivlal #tools.
Tools tend to be either #emancipative or #convenient. The smarter they are. the dumber and more dependant can you be and get along for now. The less smart the tools, the more skill is trained in you. Choose #agency or #convenience. #Priorities matter. #Longread: https://archive.org/details/illich-conviviality

Speaking of #obesity, study after study have linked the plight of #Pacific islanders to their "imported" diet of processed western "food": "In many parts of the Pacific, unhealthy #food is #cheap, #convenient, & pushed heavily through #advertising. Healthy food, on the other hand, may be increasingly difficult to get & more #expensive in the face of droughts, floods & rising seas caused by #climatechange"
👉Slop from #GenAI is also convenient & promoted!🤦‍♂️

When Trump said he was going to make a US-produced cell phone, the first thing I thought of was when Doc Brown had to build a 1950s version of a microchip at the beginning of Back to the Future Part 3, and it was the size of the hood of a car. #Convenient! https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/06/16/trump-mobile-will-take-on-iphone-17-in-september-with-a-made-in-us-gold-smartphone

The Train from Eaux-Vives to Nyon

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Within 31-34 minutes you can be in Geneva-Eaux-Vives by the RE33 train. Yesterday I tested it on the way back from Silicon Chalet Event 39 about Infrastructure as Code and Security, a combination for success. The talks were interesting and informative. It's an opportunity to see people from the Geneva tech scene.

For years I didn't want to go to Geneva because by train and car it's fine to get close to Geneva, but it's less convenient to get from A to B. With a car it's fast to get close to Geneva but then you hit traffic lights, and parking fees, and the car becomes a nuisance rather than an asset.

With the train I was used to catching the train from Nyon to Geneva, and then walking wherever I needed to get to. When I dropped in to Infomaniak a few days ago that walk added half an hour, each way.

With the RE33 and its intermediate stops within Geneva you can get to strategic places and walk to where you want to be, within minutes, with ease. This makes getting to and from events in Geneva convenient. It removes the need to drive into the city. With the car it's wise to count an hour, and to avoid rush hour. With the train travel time should be consistent.

And Finally

If we count the cost of driving at seventy centimes per kilometre, and we count the cost of parking at 1 CHF per hour, and the time it takes to drive into and out of Geneva then trains, especially the R33 train, is the best option. It's quick and convenient. From now on, when it is rational to do so, I will use this option.

On the Benefit of Using Trains Instead of Cars

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Sunday I took the car rather than the train. This allowed me to wake up slightly later, and to drive up to the meeting point within an hour. By train I would have had a half hour walk, followed by a two hour train ride. On the way back it was meant to take an hour and ten minutes but didn't, because of a crash on the A1. I didn't see any news about it so I don't think it was a bad crash. It did however block the motorway. A drive that should have taken an hour then took two hours.

I like to take the train. It's intuitive. It's comfortable. It's social. It's relaxing. I took the car because I thought it would be more convenient. It was, but for the person that had to get back as fast as possible to catch a plane.

Without the car that person would have had to wait an extra half hour to an hour, and then another two hours on trains. By having the car I could drive spontaneously with most of the hiking group. The plan was to head to Nyon, to drop everyone off, in order for them to get to Geneva. In the end, due to the traffic jam we re-routed via Allaman, and then Rolle, and they took the train from Rolle. With a car you can leap frog segments of a train journey.

I think the person made it back with time to pack, shower, and get to the airport comfortably. I don't know because there was no follow up. It doesn't bother me in the least. The person seemed worried about getting home in town so I offered to drive her part of the way. If I had had that option on Saturday I probably would not have rushed for the train. I would have been happy to hitch a ride to Gland, and the train from there.

Travel time + Interval Between Trains

Saturday, and Sunday the journeys were two hours, but the train wait could be three hours. From the moment you finish a hike to the moment you get home can be three and a half hours, if I include my half hour walk.

If it wasn't for the car crash and traffic jams then the car would have taken an hour ten rather than almost two hours. With the car crash, and traffic jam, with Sunday afternoon congestion the car was not faster, for me. It was faster for those that had the freedom to catch a train from a convenient train station. The moral, for me, is that on a Sunday afternoon, with congestion, trains are faster.

The paradox is that if a train is empty, or full, it goes at the same speed, but when an empty, or full, makes a huge difference. It makes sense to fill trains to capacity. It's absurd to fill motorways to capacity. That's why using trains when hiking is fantastic. It also provides us with the flexibility to do point to point hikes, rather than loops.

Some Exceptions

Nyon to Ste-Croix is convenient train. So is Nyon to Les Paccots, and Gruyères to Nyon. Nyon to Jaun too is very convenient. In contrast Nyon to Auberge communale de Pont-de-Nant, Route du Pont-de-Nant 10, 1880 Plans-sur-Bex is not convenient by train and bus, unless you start the hike at the bus stop, rather than the restaurant.

When I was looking at logistics from the Vue Des Alpes I saw that it makes sense to walk down to the nearby train station, four kilometres away. By doing this you have a train every hour, rather than every two to three hours.

Conclusion

If it wasn't for a van catching fire near Céligny the motorway would have been fluid. It's because of this accident that the advantage of taking the car was negated. Having said that, rush hour traffic on a Sunday evening is normal, so the gains you have in the morning are negated in the evening. This explains why the motorway, lake road and vineyard roads were blocked. This explains why it made sense to drop people off in Rolle, to catch their train. On Saturday I will almost certainly take the train as it's a linear hike and simplifies logistics.
