It’s crazy that the yellow end rules were removed and in response everyone made the fronts of their trains as dark and difficult to see as possible.
für diese debatte brauchen wir ein anderes modell von "schaden". dass sich menschen in der nähe anderer menschen sicher fühlen, nicht gefilmt zu werden, hat kein mit geld bespreisbaren wert, ist aber eine gesellschaftliche infrastruktur, deren "wert" wir zu spüren bekommen, sobald sie weg ist.
Komisch, dass gehäuft dort, wo eine Bahnstrecke in den letzten 10 Jahren rückgebaut wurde, Menschen gegen Chemikalien-&Abfallrecht offen mit alten Bahnschwellen handeln.
-> Wenn man alte Bahnstrecken ordentlich entsorgen müsste, wär Weiterbetrieb billiger!

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Ist das Vorspiel von Krustentieren eigentlich krebserregend?
every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

A black and white picture from around 1900. It shows a short passenger train at a station going away from the viewer, just behind and above there is another train passenger climbing up a bridge about 20 feet (6 meters) above. Further in the background a mind train crosses a high metal trestle.
I hate when model railroaders keep squeezing in more track and more bridges into a scene. So unprototypical.

Two good Luxembourgish words for you:
If a pair of twins are identical, they are "eeneeëg".
If they are non-identical, they are "zweeeeëg".
Gifts from the US Supreme Court (a wooden box with a US constitution) and the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Belgium (a glass engraved with the building that court sits in)
Gift from the Supreme Court of Canada: a glass with two polar bears on it
Gift from the Conditional Court of the Republic of Mali which is a miniature version of a traditional porte/door from Timbuktu
Of course, the US gifts a copy of their constitution. Others were more original, like these polar bears from Canada or a traditional Timbuktu door from Mali
you can sum up Philadelphia's infrastructure pretty tidily by just pointing out that this person didn't throw away their BIG HOLE sign because they knew they'd need it again

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
At least if it takes forever you can spend some time in the museum.
I love the "could not comment on the cause". Hm, why would a company that relies 100% in investor/government money for everything because it has no income because its product does not exist, run out of money? So many different options…
The “shield” is intolerable here as well.
“Parents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.”
That’s what the @nytimes.com headline here says. Both “shield” and “instead” appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.
Controversial hot take: Utrecht Centraal is Liège Guillemins in useful.
It’s still not terrible with 8 gigs but my gut feeling is that the moment you try to do anything interesting, this will quickly become the limiting factor.
Just 8 GB RAM in the MacBook Neo? That’s sad. With 16 it would have been a great deal.
I used to think we might see one or two Hyperloop lines built as gulf state airport links, like the Shanghai Transrapid, but these days I don’t even believe in that anymore. Still, it’s going to appear in the news every year…
Crazy that Hyperloop still isn’t dead even though it’s obvious now no commercial line will ever be built. But startups keep trying and failing…
