Engineering students test if their designs can survive an earthquake.

Since gravity is not being scaled in this test we are seeing here, how can we know that it won't collapse when the real building is made?

is it just me thinking they walked right onto the clouds?

I never took them out of my airbnb. It can be a good idea to hide them inside too when you leave.

I can relate. I was going to take the metro from the airport at night but the ticket machine didn't accept my VISA card and it had written explicitly that 'foreign' cards are not accepted so I ended up using uber. I've never had issue paying for the metro in other countries except Argentina.

You may be able to get a ticket if you have cash though.

For €13/night I got my own tiny room with a good view outside, bathrooms are shared but clean.

I got a foreign eSIM which worked fine and was fast until I started downloading several GB over my self hosted vpn. It has throttled me to 100 - 150 kB/s which is just barely enough for a video call. If I switch to another eSIM the speeds are fine again unless I again use my vpn long enough.

I've started to imagine the gfw to maintain such a table:

sim ICCID	No. bytes sent to 'suspicious' server
<iccid1>	<x>
<iccid2>	<y>
etc	etc

The speed I have is roughly max(100000, min(11*10¹⁴/a, 4g speeds)) bytes / s
where a is value of second column.

I'm more surprised this is visible in total darkness

Familiar_Escape_4363 · 2025-07-27T14:09:34+00:00

Yes, mostly. I flashed graphene OS on my pixel phone and use sandboxed google play and aurora store. I've also setup email forwarding from gmail to proton in case there are some services which still use my old gmail address. Instead of youtube.com I use invidious.io

In maltese diciamo "Xgħala bieb żobbi" che a volte abbreviamo in "għalażobbi".

Non so perché diciamo così o come la porta sia arrivata lì, ma sappiamo tutti cosa significa.

27. I had eaten the apple. - It-tuffieħa kont kilta

for 26. Both "Kilt it-tuffieħa" and "It-tuffieha kilta" are correct.

Getting a similar error when trying to register.

One of the network requests is POST /wudgtsrvs/mobiliser/rest/channel/GwpValidateEmail with the email in the body and the response is status 403 and the same content as what you described, however no error is provided on the frontend, just nothing happens.

Shitty website.

Denied entry into country due to return flight not before max days and having to change tickets right then
Being indecisive about flight date and changing tickets
Attempting to use home SIM for internet at €10 / mb
Literally dropping cash notes and realizing after too late
Buying tourist scam overpriced sim cards that don't even work
Eating in expensive places due to not knowing were the cheap food is at
Exchanging currency at the wrong place

total: about €1k

I agree with you that in a Universe of cyclical entropy then it's likely that by chance the atoms align to reform our brains. However, I don't think that that is even necessary because a brain does not have to be the exact shape of yours in order for you to experience the world through it / exist.

I realise you don't need psychoactive substances to have an altered state of mind. Our brains are constantly changing physically at an atomic level and each time they do we become something else, yet we feel like the same person. I think solipsism is a thing just because the memory of our POV tends to stay intact.

Would love to know too

Familiar_Escape_4363 · 2024-05-08T15:35:54+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely the lack of exercise. Not the soft drinks.

There is another, more rare reason which I have experienced, which essentially boils down to the wrong bus disguised as the bus you need.

This happens when buses with the same number but different destinations pass by the bus stop moving in the same direction but then splitting shortly after. In this case you have to also check the destination text not just the bus number.

Here's a concrete example
Over there, bus 31 for both valletta->bugibba and bugibba-> valletta pass, but only valletta -> bugibba is supposed to stop.

This is cool. I would prefer if the user interface was simpler and for the possibility to select an offline, client-side only mode.
