An artisanal pizza 🍕 automate 24/7
Frozen within 30 seconds, hot ones in 4 minutes.

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@dutchcelt @jtillessen @nicksherman It’s at the side of an actual pizzeria. If they freeze their own pizza (which I assume) you can definitely call them artisanal.
Europizza in Amsterdam Noord also sells their sour-dough pizzas frozen to-go. And I know people picking them up regularly.

@Luke @dutchcelt @jtillessen @nicksherman Ah, you are talking about the FEBO or Smullers snack-bar walls. I assume.

There is a person behind them, that is filling the slots with freshly prepared food. That does not make them fully vending machines. IMHO.

This seems automated 24/7

@Luke @dutchcelt @jtillessen @nicksherman I think it was on a episode of , where I learned that these originated in the US.
Funny that the Netherlands are still standing strong.

The Dutch use the IJ-combination (not a ligature). The regular KIJK (LOOK) and 2 samples as used for a logo and the Dutch magazine KIJK. www.kijkmagazine.nl

@Luke @henk That’s why the Dutch call Rijksmuseum Ruksmuseum (meaning Wankmuseum) 😳

Some lettering highlighting in Vannes

GARENNE CONEMA mural with geometric sans art nouveau lettering and fitting geometric illustrations.
Friperic 👽 Coiffeur, combining sixties hippy lettering with alien gray had.
VAMEA lingerie shop, bronze on gray, with elegant looped letters.

@FontsInUse Right, lettering is the wrong term here. Thanks for them this quick.
I was mainly wondering about Solange.

Humans are bizarre

I’m still 😷 if air is bad in a train, it’s busy, or if people are coughing

There are 2 seats free here in this train to Paris - either next to me wearing a mask, or next to a guy opposite spluttering incessantly (who’s the reason I masked straight away)

Where does the passenger boarding at Joigny sit? Next to the spluttering guy, after having given me a weird look 🤷‍♂️

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jon Also on our way to Paris on the f.k.a. Thalys but forgot our masks 😷, while a person next to us keeps caughing.
What where we thinking‽

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jon That is really kind of you! We have 1 hour transit to catch a train at Montparnasse, we will surely be able to get some.

But my partner is really excited about the possibility of meeting such a rail celebrity.

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jon @kupfers
So, they did not let us on, after running through Montparnasse and being there 3 minutes before departure.
But we luckily had a plan B.

– Masks 😷 ✅
– Changing our ticket 🎫 without paying extra ✅
– Finding a heart shaped potato 🥔 ✅
– Visiting Agnès Varda 🪦 ✅

(Listen to the Small Potatoes episode of @radiolab, if you like to know why)

You can make up a weird word like ”guggenmusik” and it will be an actual thing in Swiss German.

@jhilden Said the Finish person 🤣

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jhilden Sweden = Switzerland for the common US citizen anyhow.

But indeed, I keep finding interesting parallels between Swiss-German and Dutch that have been eradicated in Hoch-Deutsch.

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jhilden There are indeed exactly theses parallels from German to Dutch. Words that sound old and from the past in one language, commonly used in another.
Siechenhaus (German for Infirmary, no longer used)
Ziekenhuis (Dutch for Hospital)

Or in my favorite example, the meaning is reversed.
Seltsam (German for Strange)
Zeldzaam (Dutch for Rare)
vs
Rar (German for Rare)
Raar (Dutch for Strange)

An old friend studies comparative language science. But specialized in eastern languages.

Hey #Bahnbubble, we watched this yesterday. It is a great deep dive into why Europe is not interconnected with fast and nightly trains. #neglect #monopole #incompatibility

Mac DeMarco – Some Other Ones

Just realized that I included an 2015 digital only album in my Best of 2023 (though first time on vinyl) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

First time 9yo told about a meme I had never heard of:
Smurf Cat. There is no substance to it,
apparently it is an image originally created in 2014, now trending on TikTok,
”…almost always paired with the Alan Walker song “The Spectre”, particularly with the lyrics: “We live. We Love. We Lie.””
Aoomer memes…

eWalthert,
@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@jhilden My 13yo was singing that song last summer. Showing me the Smurf Cat.
Funny that it is still making its rounds.
