@nina_kali_nina It’s amazing how standards of repairability have changed over time. Laptops have always been considered less repairable than desktops, yet this has a socketed CPU and my 2015 iMac gets an iFixit score of 1/10 because of soldered RAM and glued screen. (Meanwhile newer devices get 7/10 because they reversed some of the even more restrictive decisions Apple implemented in the mean time)

@q based on your productivity I’d put you at at least three people—one doing a PhD at Max Planck, one running my domain registrar, and one developing a million-line train ticketing app.

At some point, you wonder why they bother having the AskMyGP service available at all

@scarlet sounds like some kind of eugenics too

@q Did one of the VVs see your talk and ask “hey, why are we paying through the nose for Siemens to give our riders a crap service when we can get this nerd to do it?”

@nina_kali_nina I’ve often had this problem, but only because the mechanisms so often get out of alignment so display red when vacant and green when unoccupied, or half and half all the time.

Bristol Airport:
- Miles from a railway line, requiring multiple changes and a bus to access from Wales
- Miles from a motorway
- 2011m runway
- Trying to expand

Bristol Filton Airport:
- Very close to railway lines; walkable from existing stations on main routes from Wales (Patchway, Bristol Parkway)
- Very close to the M4 and M5
- 2467m runway
- Closed 2012

Why would you do it this way around?

@q Putting the Fiktion in Fiktionsbescheinigung

@byte How much of you are you getting done? I kinda feel like I’d want almost everything from my ears down to my feet, but no idea how much that’s cost or where locally it could be done

@mcc @0xabad1dea Call me a conspiracy theorist, but that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d do if I were a fascist who worked in marketing and was looking for ways to to derail left-wing discussions

They're putting blue food coloring in everything.

A short story

@demize Would PeerTube meet this need? I’ve only consumed content via it, so can’t offer much in the way of a testimonial unfortunately.

@jon According to the Norwegian vehicle registration database it’s a Scania Higier A30, diesel. (Sadly they don’t record information about WiFi and catering.)

@jon integrated transport at its finest!

@jon What do you think is the most likely scenario by which Finland becomes (comparably to other EU capitals) accessible by rail from the rest of the EU?
1. Hamburg–Helsinki HSR via Stockholm and Haparanda–Tornio
2. Helsinki–Taalinn tunnel and Rail Baltica
3. Regime change in Moscow, Russia joins EU, change trains in St Petersburg

Not many places have a lift that breaks down so often that it has not only a second backup alarm call/intercom, but also a permanently-affixed tensabarrier to block it off when taking it out of service.
