These give GDR Görlitzer carriage vibes from either the 60s or 70s! 😬
Superalbs@superalbs.bsky.social · 2d agoThese double-decker carriages sure are worn out, with unusable windows and bits of the train rusting away... 😢 Though apparently the carriages (and the loco) will be replaced next year, by newer vehicles second-hand from DB Regio.

Troll me if you like. But you'll be blocked. Because I'm not being lectured by someone who doesn't know me 🙄
A country can't produce power because water levels mean they can't cool a nuclear power reactor. Makes you wonder what's going to happen with data centres when there's not enough water to cool them. Or will they get the water over everyone else's need?

These instructions are nothing short of a nightmare for the likes of me. Probably are for most people… So what am I meant to do? Because it would be helpful for some explanation of why there are two types of screw/washer… 🤬
Seems that the screw under the webcam is a standard one, so my gimbal tripod fits perfectly! 🥳
Kilometer780 (aka mattingham)@kilometer780.bsky.social · 2w agoThe quality of the plastic on these elgato products is crap... Started with the plastic which encased the screw on the microphone failing, and ended with the webcam stand cracking and falling to bits 🙄
Oh no! Anyone in the Crewe area seen such a bird? 😬
Done my good deed for the community today: edited OpenStreetMap to add smaller businesses which are located in the Market Hall in Crewe. We need these traders to flourish, so let’s make it easier for people to find them! 🥰
Not entirely sure what is happening here with @bsky.app but it doesn’t look good! 😬

The fact that the right wing ÖVP blames the events in Ceuta on a social policy in the city of Vienna shows how low and ridiculous right wing parties stoop to push their stupid agenda. And Armin is right for saying that he’s heard nothing about that from all the reports previously posted about Ceuta!
Armin Wolf@arminwolf.at · 3d agoIch hab jetzt ziemlich viel über Ceuta gelesen. Aber dass Nachrichten über die Mindestsicherung in Wien etwas zum Ansturm der letzten Woche beigetragen hätten - das habe ich tatsächlich nirgendwo gelesen, außer in dieser Presseaussendung der ÖVP Wien. #Geheimwissen
Alarm went off at 07:55 as usual. *checks phone* Why did the doorbell ring at 07:20? Oh. The second part of the order I’m expecting turned up… No tracking info so I wasn’t expecting it. And, given I sleep with earplugs in, didn’t hear anything… 🙄
Well if this isn't an adorable sight as your commuter train comes into the station! 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb1O...
As much as I think the roads in this country are bad, I'm laughing yet again at the absolute mess that are the roads in Germany: another bridge over the Rhein is to close [at short notice] over the Rhein. This time between Mannheim and Ludwigshafen: www.swr.de/swraktuell/b...
