@badambassador @BicycleBen the video is good for Surrey but the commentators don't follow the action too closely, at least in the County Championship matches.

@blogdiva post-championship riots happen in North America as well.

@cthulku @Urban_Hermit @lePetomaneAncien @qurlyjoe melinos! (Or smelons.)

@capntransit of course the sensible thing would be to have a regular connecting bus service, e.g., from the Trailways station on North Front Street, given the number of people who likely come from Kingston to take that train.

@capntransit the whole thing seems crazy, especially telling people to chase after the train with their cars. When my mom lived in Kingston, I would often take the train to Rhinecliff to visit, and pretty much the only option was for someone to come pick me up. That's probably a common use case, so it's weird to charge those people the same to park as someone who leaves their car there all day.

Denkt daran, dass ihr als "Personen, die Transferleistungen (#Bürgergeld, #Grundsicherung oder Leistungen nach dem #Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz) erhalten", freien Eintritt in die Staatlichen Berliner Museen habt.

Da sind oft tolle Austellungen, auch Kunstausstellungen dabei. Hier der Überblick: https://www.smb.museum/ausstellungen/aktuell/

Have fun!

Zum Beispiel zur Zeit eine #Schlingensief Ausstellung in der Neuen Nationalgallerie: https://www.smb.museum/ausstellungen/detail/christoph-schlingensief-deutschlandsuche-99/

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Below is a video sneak peak.

And if you're anywhere near Greenwich, do bring your family to the excellent (and free) World Ocean Day event on June 7th - there will be loads to see and do.

Ugh, #mozilla is discontinuing #pocket, which was still useful for rendering a lot of articles legible. It seems from their explanation that what was useful to users was never what they thought was important:"What began as a read-it-later app evolved into something much bigger. After Mozilla acquired Pocket in 2017, we invested in building our content curation and recommendation capabilities..." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

@BicycleBen the frequency with which I travel to the UK is comparable to the frequency with which they redesign all the money and stop accepting the old cash.

@timrichards they built it in between the summer I spent in Potsdam and the 2+ years I lived in Berlin. It took a while to get used to there being a Hauptbahnhof.

@partim that kind of entrance fee is less bearable when you're there with a family of four (although perhaps there's a family discount, which tends to be more common on that side of the pond).

@kkarhan @MelissaBearTrix @Nikkileah the only time the Security Council overcame the veto was the Korean War, when the ROC still had the Chinese seat and the USSR were boycotting because of this.

@eleanorrees now, put a television in the lav, and they'll have an instant sale.

@eleanorrees could this be some AI fail where it combined a picture of a washing machine in the kitchen with one of a washing machine in the bathroom?

@smurthys "zark" is blasphemous in Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.

@bossito @jon with eye contact you can be both assertive and careful.

@BicycleBen does the restaurant deliver, or did you have to go pick it up yourself? (I guess takeaway implies the latter.) Unfortunately most restaurants don't deliver themselves any more even though the tech bro services give them a bad deal.

Question for the #RailBubble: does it matter who one purchases #BritRail passes from? https://www.britrail.com/how-to-book/ doesn't mention the prices anywhere, but refers you to agents who can book one. Do I need to shop around, or do they all offer the same prices? #rail

@eleanorrees I was wondering why they didn't kick the first ball over the rope to keep Porter on strike. I looked it up, and now I know about the Sehwag precedent. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/south-africa-tour-of-india-2009-10-428634/india-vs-south-africa-2nd-test-441826/ball-by-ball-commentary
