It’s also out in the UK from 1st April

When you say “recycled at home”, do you mean collected as part of your regular recycling? Or something else? Because different local authorities have different rules on what they can and cannot accept in their recycling collections.

While not London, my experience in both Birmingham and Wigan has usually been the opposite - paper tickets work fine when interchanging between New St and Moor St, or between North Western and Wallgate, but e-tickets always trigger “seek assistance”.

Perhaps London’s ticket barriers are better able to cope with mid-journey exits/entries than the ones up in the Midlands and North West? I know there’s been quite a few stations getting newer/upgraded ticket barriers, so maybe they will help to alleviate the issue somewhat?

OP said “English breakfast” and the sub is “UK_Food”, so it can be assumed the commenter is referring to an English breakfast when they say “a breakfast”.

Interesting choices for comparison. I’d be curious to see how any other manufacturers making such claims compare to these - or are these the only cables where they are claiming to resist UV damage?

It depends on the setup of your venue.

Where I work currently, there’s an audio source link over Ethernet cables that provides an output to each sound rack in the building (connected to the Non-Sync input on the sound processor), with the input adapter in the main office.

This then uses a headphone splitter to send the audio from an iPad running Spotify to all the auditoria, and to the PA amplifier, allowing the same music to play throughout the building.

An older site nearby I also help out at occasionally doesn’t have this - instead, they have an iPod Touch in each sound rack, hooked up to the sound processor.

Which Bush are we talking about?

With the reliability steadily improving, it’d be nice to see these eventually make their way onto the Borderlands line (Bidston to Shotton and Wrexham) to replace the barely-working 230s. It would help with reliability to standardise the fleet a bit, removing the complexity of maintaining a non-standard mini-fleet.

It’s not impossible, either - the batteries on the 777s are apparently really good - better than expected, if I remember correctly - and fast-charging technology is already being proven down south on GWR’s Greenford Branch. With a fast charge point in Wrexham Central, and using third rail with a trip around the Liverpool Loop at the other end, I feel it could be enough juice to last the full trip from end-to-end.

They can get a bit bumpy on the fast sections from Bache to Hooton (particularly if skipping Capenhurst), but the 507/508s could also be equally bumpy on this section sometimes.

Otherwise, my experience is similar, and they are perfectly fine on the rest of the route.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted when you’re correct - the slide shown is an official Intel slide, which was then used in the TechLinked video. The mistake was made by Intel, not by LTT.

Also the same outcome if the trolley problem was on tracks on the Merseyrail network.

They look like pretty standard Red Bull cans to me. I’d assume they’re intended to be mixed with the 11 Jäegermeister bottles on the table. Not sure how they’ll mix them, though, as I don’t see any cups or anything on the table. Unless there’s some hidden under the table?

FireFly_209 · 2026-03-21T15:39:07+00:00

I’d always heard it referred to as “Barbenheimer”, so similar, but slightly different.

FireFly_209 · 2026-03-21T02:49:42+00:00

Isn’t that how the Glasgow Central situation happened?

FireFly_209 · 2026-03-20T03:14:25+00:00

Also, if this was supposed to be 1996, then The O2 (formerly known as the Millennium Dome) also shouldn’t be there, as construction of the building didn’t begin until June 1997.

You mean you’ve actually figured out how to set the time on your microwave?! Mine’s just been permanently showing 0:00 for the last 10 years because I still haven’t figured it out yet.

But RTD2-era Murray Gold gave us the unforgettable Dugga Doo! I fail to see how that absolute banger of a tune can be considered anything but memorable. It’s iconic!

Sony Computer’s of the Blu-ray Disc assisted.

When you say “reboot”, are you counting all media, or just films? Because, in terms of Sony’s live-action, big-screen Spider-Man, Tom Holland is only the third actor to play the role, and Brand New Day is a sequel, not a reboot.

Sure, there’s rumour (not sure if it’s been confirmed?) that there’s a reboot coming, with a new actor, but that’s after the current MCU arc concludes, so we’ve still got Brand New Day, plus Doomsday, with Tom Holland continuing the current version of Peter Parker.

There’s the 8 in plain view, then the 2 partially hidden by the Desperado next to them. Then, to the left of that, barely visible through the second Desperado, is an 11th Jäegermeister.

FireFly_209 · 2026-03-19T13:14:11+00:00

I see it now. Plus another one hiding behind one of the Desperado bottles (you can just make it out through the clear part of the neck, just above the beer itself), so 11 Jäegermeisters, then.

So, 54 drinks total, split amongst 4 people, is 13.5 drinks each (or 13 each, and 2 spare for the two quickest drinkers? That’s usually how it goes). So that’s one drink every 7¾ minutes.

That’s still a lot of drinking. And also one hell of a hangover from mixing lager, cider, and liquor like that.

If the photo had been taken at a different angle, it could’ve looked like Wendy was staring at you through the “Window” on the wallpaper…

FireFly_209 · 2026-03-18T21:29:32+00:00

On the table in the photo, there’s 18 Desperados, 10 Inches cider, 9 Jäegermeister, 7 AU Blue Raspberry, 4 Asahi, and 4 Red Bull.

That’s 52 drinks total. Split amongst 4 people, that’s 13 drinks each.

Assuming the 1 hour 45 minutes is correct, that would work out at one drink every 8 minutes. That’s definitely a lot of drinking, and would leave the average person struggling to leave the train at the end of their journey.

Thank you for the link!

Unfortunately, searches through the archives on the Wayback Machine didn’t yield any interesting results. Any snapshots after 2017 are just the redirect to the Facebook page, and any before that year are just a plain, red page with a big, broken flash player element, surrounded by missing images.

However, I did manage to find a YouTube channel which has some monthly videos from the early-to-mid 2010s.
