3 daily Paris-Brussels fast trains via the classic route to run from 15 December, similar to those provided July-Sept for the Olympics. A useful (cheaper!) alternative to the high-speed Eurostar-formerly-Thalys trains. Provisional details at: seat61.com/international-train… & seat61.com/international-train…
in reply to The Man in Seat 61

Do we know if these will work with an interrail pass? (or won't like the olympics train)


Even NVIDIA Has Jumped Big On The Open-Source OpenBMC Train

OpenBMC as the Linux Foundation project backed by vendors like Intel / Microsoft / Google / Meta for an open-source BMC firmware stack continues to be a growing success. This alternative to long-used proprietary BMC software stacks continues to grow in popularity with AMD now using it on their reference motherboards and Supermicro being another notable user with some of their …

Stupidity of the curators of the Biennale Cinema 2024 is quite shocking as they speak of “tragedy that the war” and complain that “point of view of Russian soldiers is not usually heard”.

The “tragedy of Russians soldiers” at war depicted by the Anastasia Trofimova movie can be trivially avoided by any Russian male by simply not signing 1’200’000 RUB contract with Russian armed forces. On the state level by simple withdrawal of Russian occupational troops from the sovereign country of Ukraine.

By these two easy steps Russians can immediately stop people dying on both sides, but only Russians can do this because they are the invaders. It’s as simple as that - as long as they are invading, they are seen as invaders and the only way most people want to see Russian soldiers is through the aiming device 🤷

By the way, I personally would have more empathy for Russian society if it had itself cared more about their own losses. But it doesn’t — they mourn their killed relatives and yet they say “yeah it’s sad but once we started, we need to finish”. When their relatives are abused by Russian commanders and sent in human waves to their death, the best they can do is to record miserable videos begging Putin on their knees. So if Russians don’t respect their own lives why should anyone else do?

You do not understand "culture". The Russians are OK being intimidated and slaughtered for hundreds of years and dozens of generations. The same goes with the Chinese, they are OK with theft and lying and exploitation, or the Hindus who are OK with substandard living conditions, over-crowded work and living conditions, rotten food. Not to mention the brainwashed Muslims in Africa, they are OK with terror and brutality - severing limbs, breasts, and other body parts as "punishment".

You are mistaken for contributing anything "noble" and "elevating" to any race or culture, they are all putrid.



Recent #gaming: I played through Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. It's fairly linear but it's gorgeously pretty and captures the feel of moomin works very well in its mechanics and story. Extremely strongly recommend for anyone who likes cosy games with a good amount of heart to them.

@BreoganHackett Yeah, as a fellow moomin enjoyer I was pleased with the adaptation, and it's all SO pretty. :)

starvation's one of the worst cruelties there is.

... they who are entirely absent from compassion and empathy, will exact this upon any many anywhere.

... there is something you can do, you will find it, and you will do it. this ends now, here, everywhere.

in reply to Digit

well... i hope someone read that, and got the gist, the broader applicable gist, and apply it.

in reply to Colin the Mathmo

I think time taken on a game like this is a highly skewed random variable, whose average is strongly affected by rare occasions when it takes much longer than usual. Which means that _most of the time_ your average will be improving.

in reply to Aure Free Press

Wait. What? You can just walk into a gun store in Kentucky and purchase an assault rifle and 2000 rounds of ammo no questions asked. No waiting period? No background check. This doesn't sound correct. I thought there was federal law mandating at a minimum a background check.

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/8. The Hero's Journey is garbage. Discuss.

I don't need to discuss it, the referenced article is sufficient, and far more informed than I could ever be.

The majority of folklorists hate it. It's utter bollocks.

But tl;dr:

It's racist/sexist shit. Campbell grabbed a bunch of tropes and rammed them together in a way that didn't even fit his own examples.
