@WellsiteGeo on a train. Domestically. Yeah. My friend carries some tools with them (mainly a really nice stethoscope and a manual bp thingy). But mostly they picked up their bag so they didn't leave the work laptop on a train...
@afewbugs i carry a katadyne befree water bottle when travelling. Works great and gives me reassurance about not needing to worry too much about water sources. Before that I used a Sawyer Mini.
Had to call paramedics and currently sat with them in our house is a weird experience, they’re like the most aggressively heterosexual people I’ve spent any time around for ages
Does anybody I know on here have experience cycle touring in England? I'm headed to EMF Camp at the end of the month and it sounds really fun to simply cycle there (from London). I have many questions.
From 22 May, SNCF in ticket offices or through SNCF Connect can no longer sell you tickets for at least these neighbouring railways (this list might not be complete)
@jon yes. But they do that by running a bare minimum of trains. There seems to be no drive to do more. To improve anything. It's a "this is what we do, this is what we have always done, we will do no more, we may do less".
In many ways it feels like their timetables are an exercise in malicious compliance. There's certainly no logic to them.
@jon i don't understand the total lack of aspiration. While all the other state operators are looking at expanding their international options. SNCF seem to just look blankly and ask "why would anyone ever want to leave France?"
Also given the french will happily riot over almost anything. Why is their not a mob with flaming torches at SNCF HQ?
Thanks to everyone who helped me out financially this month, it was a horrible month and this year has been awful, but everyone who helped either through Ko-fi, joining my Patreon or buying my new stand-up special has made a huge difference. I’ve really been struggling with depression lately and the help and love I received this week has made it melt away.
Interesting fact about painkillers. The work better if you actually take them. Having lay in bed waiting for the painkillers to kick in and nothing happening, I wanderes back to my desk to find them sat there next to my drink...
