I have smth nice to say about . The booking page allows to reserve a ticket. I.e. I can reserve the ticket for the outbound trip, the return trip. Then worry about booking activities and accommodation at the destination. And if all those work out, I actually buy the train ticket, otherwise I release the reservation.

With , I could only pay a higher ticketing category and still only get 70% of the purchase price back.

(I'm👀 a trip where travel and participation tickets are limited)

Sure, there's shopping carts on web shops. But I'm not sure if renfe can handle two concurrent trips (iirc many train company web pages fail if you research two trips in two tabs with the cookies). And the ticket option with sncf is valid for a week, so you can even send emails back and forth for something that can't be booked in self-service online.

OH you're not in the youngest generation of your family anymore. When youv hear kids making noise outside, you can just open the window and yell at them. Especially when you're actually just curious about what they're doing.

Yet another example of how clever nature is: Some ocean bacteria have adapted to break down plastic. According to @AnthropoceneMag, a team of researchers found that more than 75% of water samples they took in a global study contained an enzyme that degrades PET, one of the most common types of plastic in use today. "In the ocean, where carbon is scarce, microbes seem to have fine-tuned these enzymes to make use of this new, human-made carbon source: plastic,” said Carlos Duarte, a marine ecologist at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.

@ScienceDesk @AnthropoceneMag remember, don't bring your drinks in PET bottles to the beach kids. The bacteria are going to eat a hole into the bottles and your drink is going to get spilled. 🥹

Sometimes asks about stairs if the stairs have a wheelchair ramp when one is mapped right next to it. And I'm like ... Yes, no, that's what that other line right next to the stairs is. None of the options in the dialog is correct

And neither StreetComplete nor Vespucci have ramp=separate https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ramp

And ... Like ... I like the StreetComplete idea, but don't give me only wrong options in the multiple choice dialog

@streetcomplete ohhh, did not expect that under that option with that picture.

@pseyfert@chaos.social avatar

@streetcomplete from my side resolved, yes. I know how to enter these ramps now without going home and opening up josm. Thanks for following up 👍

fun in a multilingual household. (partial blame on my accent/dialect)

my partner knows some german words by only hearing them from me and eventually transcribes them in latin alphabet.

warum (why)

clearly w in german gets pronounced as [v] (because v is already busy transcribing [f] … as is f), except spanish doesn't seem to bother much about the differences between [v], [β], and [b].

Well and clearly r is reserved for [r] and [ɾ]. and why distinguish [ʁ] from [χ]?

we end up with

@stux I can't put into words how much it annoys me that the cables are not put inside the rib cage or along the spine but in front of the right chest.

@Ronflaix sorry I'm unfamiliar with "deducing this" and don't understand what you're trying to do (don't bother to expain) but if it's about multi-file support in compiler-explorer: I'm under the impression that the support for multi-file examples went pretty much unnoticed but does exist

I'm writing a story about hidden e-waste. Chips and electronics in products such as children's toys, shoes, clothes, etc.

Anyone has some funny / weird examples of products you don't expect to have chips / or that have no useful reason to have chips--but still do? Or examples of really throwaway electronics such as vapes?

@gerrymcgovern USB-C cables.

(I'm not saying they're not doing anything useful. I'm saying I didn't expect cables to be more than just some copper that establishes an electric connection between pins at some given impedance)

@LibrarianRA I'd like to nitpick the alt-text of the image. It's spelled "C-3PO" and not "C3-PO".

And now I'm down a rabbit hole why Anakin would assign a serial number to a one-of-a-kind droid...
