In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

German trains being on time is a myth.

I have a nothing phone. The glyphs were a neat gimmick the first few weeks I had the thing, but now I only use them as a softer flashlight. They just don’t really add much value to the thing.

Still like the thing very much though, overall.

I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

Yes she was barefoot.

Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.

I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.

It was a fine game that was tanked by the massive inconsistency of its quality as you progressed. The game starts out absolutely fantastic, but the quality takes a very sharp and sudden fall after a few hours, and then it just sorta ends not long after. It was a very weird experience. Definitely felt like something went very wrong during development and they had to make big changes.

I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

I feed people’s pets without asking.

I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.

But it’s an Apple keyboard.

It’s not about being forced to do all that, it’s about being forced to do all that so early in the morning in such a rush when most people would rather be sleeping. I hate mornings when I am at the office, but the WFH days are infinitely better because I get a lot more sleep and get to move at my own pace and do things at my convenience. I still have breakfast and brush my teeth, I just don’t have to do everything in 30 minutes.

It’s the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don’t have to paint your minis, but that’s the entire point for a lot of people.

They are wholly independent from the protocol or interface. Ghosting is an electrical issue that is a result of keyboards being a bunch of switches arranged in a matrix. It makes the keyboard’s controller register an extra keypress in certain conditions. Nothing to do with how the thing communicates with the host computer.

Key rollover issues can be related to ghosting. The limit for it is once again the keyboard’s design at the circuit level, not its communication protocol.

Really they’re both related to how cheaply built the keyboard is. That’s the only thing.

I am partial to autopopile.

Sorry Boss, can’t come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

What are you doing in England?

Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.

Daedric lord of soul crushing corporate vocabulary.

Killer pastry though.

He probably does bomb Vatican whenever the Holy Kitchen serves some particularly spicy food.

Good butter straight from a dairy farm is super dangerous though. You can suddenly find yourself standing in your kitchen, no memory of the last 45 minutes, the fridge door open, a greasy knife in your hand, breadcrumbs all over the floor, and half the butter gone. Gotta be careful with that stuff.
