It's important to find time for hobbies I guess

It should really only take one of them if they are properly dedicated. Still you've got to admire their work/life balance, ensuring that they wear you out and still all get a solid 40 winks themselves

If only people would take off their rucksacks, the train service could be cut in half, and there would be plenty of money for free ferries.

it's a bus-mounted ANPR camera with a lot of shite about AI added in so they can charge 10x what it's worth. I can get on board with with ANPR cameras, but doesn't London already have a less-creepy-sounding version of them?

Also; why pinning all your efforts on free bus travel doesn't have quite the equalities impact that's often assumed.

It wouldn't greatly surprise me if it just didn't get through in Edinburgh - it was up for a vote last year but there was so much back-stabbing at the time that it was completely random what got through and what didn't. I just thought I saw it on the notices.

I thought they did that this year

I tend to agree. I'm not a fan of the growing number of floating stops stuck the wrong side of bike lanes, but even then at least it separates out the waiters from the walkers. I'm not sure I trust other councils though, and a pole genuinely is better than nothing.

Devon have bus stop standards (which for some reason include sticking turf on the rooves). The stop I used most often couldn't have been made to meet standards, and now it has been closed and I have to walk an extra mile to get the bus. Minimum standards are a hostage to malicious compliance

I have 40 apps that didn't come with the phone, and most of them work fine. I'm quite happy with a nice open app store - it can be open to any old crap as long as I don't have to install it

They're both variously horrible, but if you use mobile web for everything, and an ad-blocker, then you will probably only notice when the latest "great" new release of the OS breaks everything for zero benefit. Even that's consistent across the two.

Maybe the Norwegian government will subsidize it to go to Oslo instead. Vy seemed very taken with the service from Oslo to Malmo they ran over the summer to meet the sleeper.

Most of their budget is being being used to fight the ground though, which doesn't want there to be a train line to Bodø

They rarely use the Swedish ones. Presumably ö and ä look a bit too German

An exciting new opportunity for enthusiastic people to waste another couple of years on this hopeless non-starter of an idea. Sometimes it's just useful to just have a non-passenger railway going between places commuters don't want to travel between. No need to turn it into a toy tram set.

I had to do that last time. It's *possible* to migrate password hashes off Firebase and into the new system, but it requires Java plugins to run, potentially forever.

How comfortable did you find the cloth-covered metal board they use as seating in cattle class?

Housekeeping will appreciate that. They've only just finished mopping down and repainting after the last guest

I've got so many pretty components for the website I plan to build, but I don't have the energy to piece it together. I could have had fun building the components myself, instead I spend days looking sadly and exhaustedly at the screen before giving up and watching endless NCIS. LLMs are unbalancing
