The vast majority of a long distance railway goes through land with fuck all value. Some cows might be annoyed by the rails taking space from their field but that is about it. It’s only the end part in a city where you may want to save space by putting it underground.

What reason is it stated 106 to 100 is optimal, and is that optimal or just what it actually is? Why would the other way really matter much.

You are making a statement with no reasoning behind it.

Wasn’t that Musks failed hyperloop thing?

I do have to admit the idea is pretty cool though. Not sure how they could be used practically for anything that would justify the cost though. Like cargo transit? At least then you can cut more safety requirements compared to human passengers. But then you have the question of why go to that effort to move cargo faster than a train anyway

What if it disrupts other people’s lives more than my own?

Let me talk to you about why we need more trains

I am British, what’s credit

The only validation is someone is paying for the energy at this address. They don’t really care beyond that.

I earn more than enough to get everything I need, £29k.

I distantly remember installing PHP when using alpine Linux on a pinephone. It was like learning to install it from scratch. I have also completely forgotten the process since.

I have never had any of them check. I created an account with details they sent in the post addressed to the homeowner

Why would my utilities require age verification? I don’t have or want credit cards.

Ahh that sucks, we have quite a few of ours still

Well I am sure some canals are next to dogging sites

At least canals are still useful to have around for recreational watersports.

Honestly they can just fuck off. Anti cheat doesn’t work on linux? Ok I won’t play your game. Age verification will be just like that too. You require it? Guess I won’t play then. I’ll vote with my wallet.

As if there were not enough incentives to publish clickbait before…

Recently started using a Win11 machine at my new job. Fuck me is file explorer a pile of shit. Remove gallery and onedrive links… wtf do you mean I need to use the registry editor to remove/hide some things on the side bar of file explorer?

I can imagine, shame that most people I know won’t swim in the sea as it’s within walking distance. They have all lived here their whole lives while I grew up inland and could only swim in the sea on holidays before moving here.

The only pool we know of is one we rarely get access to, sometimes once a year but for a few years now not even that. We would use it but I think the guy who owns it (or his wife) doesn’t like us using it, even though his son is the one asking.

Maybe I could get an inflatable spa/hot tub instead, far less water to maintain and instructions seem to largely just be filter and chlorine but replace the water after a while. Not so bad when it’s less than £1 of water in the entire tub but for a pool it could easily be significantly more, not to mention more wasteful.

Firefox can be set to delete them when the browser closes without plugins

Pool management is the main thing putting me off anything bigger than a paddling pool. Not sure how low maintenance you can make it, I mean people swim in rivers and lakes. Those don’t have chemicals added, well actually they do. But they shouldn’t.
