@Reemt lol, ok. And I'm sure a survivor guilt elimination module comes free with the car as well.

I'll be parked whenever I use an in-car communication, till the day I die

I am so skeptical of all train technologies that don't involve electrification of lines, like: power is best used fresh!
Of course I will excuse lines that see too little traffic, and therefore bymodal trains, but all other solutions look subpar to me.

@g_boccia "power is best used fresh" is my new branding, thank you!

@jon a generous interpretation would be that they have based it on the West Ealing branch, which is where the battery trial took place and for which electrification would never wash its face. But even were that true, most people will miss that subtlety and just cite the figures as a reason not […]

@jon even if they did serve drinks, sleeper breakfasts in Europe are a scandal. "Thank you for paying €250 for your sleeper berth. Welcome to Europe, home to a range of amazing cuisines. Here, have a bread roll and some cheap jam"

@Reemt @acejacek plain old speaker phone is still dangerous. Study after study has shown decreased attention to the road when drivers take a phone call. We've banned the practice at work

As someone who occasionally needs to join a work call when I'm out running errands, I would welcome that option. WHILE I'M PARKED obviously. Plenty of other reasons to dunk on car manufacturers without showing you arse

Thanks to everyone who responded - it was indeed an out of date version of PHP, and is now fixed.

@acejacek thanks - this fix got the site up and running and then I was able to update to the current version of PHP. Thanks again
