Did you know that road design included features?

In the ruins of , you'll notice small white stones interspersed with the large paving ones along the extensive roads.

Those white are 'cats eyes', i.e. gems that have a single line of inclusion of crystals of another mineral inside.

Upon light reflective on them (from the ), they enable the walker to see that they are still on the right path!

Absolute jaw drop

Go to SNCF Grandes Lignes ticket office and ask why SNCF Connect cannot sell me tickets to Berlin any more

“C’est la faute de Deutsche Bahn!” the employee tells me

This is a flat lie

Deutsche Bahn provides this data still. The fault is with SNCF’s IT. And employees here are blaming Deutsche Bahn

@jon @onterof defined date? Or an undefined one? It's not great if there's a known gap, but I'd expect SNCF to be leaving an indefinite gap in service

@mjr @onterof it’s “temporary but the date when the new system will operate is unknown”

If you’re a regular on trains anywhere, get the Railmap app. It’s an app based version of OpenRailwayMap

Some day when you need info, and railway firms aren’t providing it, it’ll save you - as it did for me today in Dijon

If the interface is nice it might be worth the tradeoff for the ads for some. But I'm not surprised to find a lot of Libre snobbery in the fedi comments.

Does it have cool features beside the map? Otherwise one could just install openrailwaymap.org as a PWA. (soon also on Apple, thanks DMA!)

@jaschop Looks like there is a better way via layers in OsmAnd. But as I have been on a train all day I haven't got it configured right yet!

Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.

Seeking eggplant recipe ideas, as I have one limp eggplant in the fridge and 8 eggplants growing in hydroponics (which may produce a massive amount of eggplant).

So far my repertoire includes 2 dishes:

  1. Eggplant Parmesan (Italian)
  2. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (Chinese)

(the family hates eggplant, except me, so we never eat it 🤔 )

deewani,
@deewani@mastodon.social avatar

For the slimmer eggplants I usually make a sliced eggplant/potato Punjabi dish for my parents or sometimes masala stuffed baby eggplants cooked in a similar base . I really only like eggplant in bhartha or Thai sliced basil eggplant over rice but I don’t cook that one. For the single eggplant you could just slice in rounds, rub with preferred spices (garlic salt, pepper, etc) and simply sauté in a pan until crispy/caramelized.

ai6yr,

@deewani Oooh, that sounds interesting!

"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."

AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030

Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.

@gerrymcgovern I've had tech bros in my replies saying data center water usage is "a nonsense stat" because the evaporated water "goes right back into the water cycle" https://qoto.org/@LouisIngenthron/112231723658590505

@gerrymcgovern I'll take this as a learning moment: the water evaporates... isn't it just getting returned to the water cycle?
