Should it not be double foldable? It has two folds

Or the fact that it doesn't need to be real because 1. It's still funny and 2. We all know that the incident has happened somewhere, because shit like this happens so often.

Which part of what I said do you disagree with?

exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn't any oncoming traffic.

If there isn't space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn't space to overtake one cyclist. If there's another car coming towards you while you overtake, you'd be endangering the one cyclist.

They are The News Quiz host Andy Zaltzman, I'm a Celebrity and Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatunde Aléshé, Starstruck and Ghosts actress Emma Sidi, stand-up comic Jack Dee (Lead Balloon) and comedian Rosie Jones (Out of Order, Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure).

For anyone else that doesn't know who they are (source)

I think this is the latest

I'd guess with inflation you'd be right, but if we're sticking with the current value, what on Phase 2 justifies it costing the same as Phase 1?

Yeah they're really taking their time with it.

You have to spend billions before laying track. That's true of any high speed rail. They've done a lot of groundwork and built a lot of structures, and they should be laying some track relatively soon.

• Merced to Bakersfield is the initial operation segment, that is estimated to cost $28–35 billion, as per your link. This is the cheapest phase that you are referring to.

• Phase 1 adds the segments to SF and Anaheim. This is projected to cost $130 billion.

• Phase 2 adds segments to San Diego and Sacramento. These are a long way off and I haven't seen any cost estimates for it, but as you can see it doesn't triple the length of the system.

• There is no Phase 3 in the official design.

So where does the $500 billion come from?
