apparently it’s quicker to fly from
new delhi to *tashkent* than new delhi to mumbai!?
this bit of trivia (and more) gotten by listening to the “empire” episode on russian contest of central asia: https://pca.st/episode/d81eb4b5-d854-4baf-9db8-5c9c7b96a1cd
just got back from a family gathering at my bro-in-law’s farm. and he brought out some pear cider he’d just made. dang, it was good! i might have a new favourite non-alc beverage!
@mwichary i imagine you mean semantically readable URIs, so this is different but related: for multi-country sites like amazon or ebay, love when you can just swap out the country code on the domain or main subdir (eg .ca for .co.uk) and it just works and loads the same listing
@sneak hah, just got an email from them today saying my login was in a data leak!
@Kancept i’ve never found this feature to work that well for my on ios, much as id like it to. it’ll work most of the time, but not super rarely just won’t fire til way after it should’ve
@Kancept interesting. my brother works for them out in vancouver, hasn’t been the best experience for him but didn’t realize it was out of the ordinary for that type of business
@Nagaram maybe somehow the seaboard was pulling more juice than i thought through the usb, but it’s only usb 2 so i doubt that’s the main reason why
@Nagaram i’m not sure — i was doing other stuff while my nephew messed around on it, so it was a few hours but not the whole afternoon!
@Unixbigot reminds me of how in adventure time, BMO gets wasted one night by by trashing some system files
@mike now there’s nothing for it but to commit to the distressed look!

Are there any monuments companies in Canada that still make headstones like giant weeping marble angels holding a crown of thorns? Asking for a friend.
@Kancept why do you hate home depot?
@Nagaram i ran through my M1 mbp battery easily last week by letting kids do logic tracking + mpe modeling with a roli seaboard in bright light at a cottage. was shocked, hadn’t thought i’d need to think about power supply!
@musicman if i saw someone wearing the symbol id be more likely to think they’re into motorcycles or skating fwiw

Changed trains last night in Chicago for the final leg of my 80-hour train trip back to NYC. The sleeper rooms in this new train are so funny/great, with a folding sink, hidden toilet, elevating bed, extra storage cubby, and about a million little knobs and switches. I feel like I’m in a 1980s spaceship.

Telegram is capable of handing over all messages in every group and regular one-to-one chat to authorities in France or any other country. A real private messaging app like Signal isn't capable of turning over your messages and media. Telegram/Discord aren't private platforms.
@levisan maybe i should spring for ones that are "USB-IF certified", like this one: https://amzn.to/3MeKfmu
not many mention this, seems like. even the adapters from anker don't seem to be certified (though some of their other stuff is)
