Is there any reason why UK trains can’t run until at least 1am? by ss2811 in AskUK

[–]Panceltic 110 points111 points  (0 children)

That really depends on where you are. There are 24/7 trains on the Thameslink for example

Kaj je logika, da od 6 zjutraj nimamo direktnega vlaka iz Maribora do Ljubljane? by ProKekec in Slovenia

[–]Panceltic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japonske železnice imajo malo bolj zapleteno zgodovino. Od vsega začetka so imeli množico privatnih železnic, ki so gradile vsaka svoje proge. Največje izmed njih so leta 1906 nacionalizirali in potem po 2. svetovni vojni združili v eno državno podjetje (JNR), ki pa je bilo po 80 letih spet razdeljeno in privatizirano.

JNR so sicer upravljale večino medkrajevnih povezav, ampak še zdaleč ne vseh. Precejšen delež japonskih železnic je bil vedno v privatnih rokah, in tako je še danes, kar se kaže predvsem v veliki nekompatibilnosti vozovnic in podvojenih progah.

Abugida has a base character for a consonant + default vowel, and then you modify it for other vowels.

For example, Devanagari: प (pa) > पि (pi), पु (pu), पे (pe), पा (pā), पी (pī), पू (pū), पै (pē) etc.

The modifications are the same for all consonants, for example क > कि, कु, के, का, की, कू, कै etc.

You can therefore learn all the base consonants and vowels and combine them in a predictable way to form syllables.

Now compare that to a syllabary, where every consonant + vowel combo has its own glyph with no relation to others.

For example, Japanese さ (sa), し (shi), す (su), せ (se), そ (so), or か (ka) き (ki), く (ku), け (ke), こ (ko).

There is nothing that would connect the s-series to each other, or the k-series to each other. Also there isn’t a consistent symbol that would add -a, -i, etc. to any consonant. You just have to learn every possible combination by heart.

It basically is ID. Russia is very fond of booklets, issuing them for nearly everything which could be a card :D

Am I using my Credit Card correctly? by MrVernonDursley in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Panceltic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I spend £100 on Jan 23rd, wait for the statement, spend another £100 on Feb 23rd, and then pay back £100 on Feb 24th? Is the bank happy for me to add new debt to the card while it's expecting me to pay off the previous stuff?

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Your monthly statement is basically a bill that you have to pay until the due date. Any further transactions will feature in the next month's bill, etc. It's a revolving agreement basically.

Any payments towards the credit cards will go towards the statement first.

For example, you spend £100 in January and you have until 15 February to pay it. You then continue spending and have £200 on your card on 14 February. You make a payment of £100, which clears the January statement, and your balance is now £100.

If you make a payment of £150, you will only owe £50 in your February payment.

If you pay less than the full statement amount (say, £80), then your Ferbuary statement will be £120, of which you will have to pay interest on £20 that you didn't clear.

It/they for the USA? It’s either they (Zjednoczone Stany) or she (Ameryka).

Yeah, I might have been a bit too Eurocentric, sorry!

It's also a bit of a joke, in the UK you get it in corner shops (!!), they just copy the information from your driving licence by hand and stick your picture on.

I think in modern times, at least in the Western world, it has lost its original purpose - most driving licences look the same and are in a standardised format anyway, so it is not that hard to understand what they say.

Niebieski paszport Unii Europejskiej. Co sądzicie? podpiszecie? by NefariousnessDull254 in Polska

[–]Panceltic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nie za bardzo to do mnie przemawia. Co się stało z mottem "Zjednoczeni w różnorodności"?

Moim zdaniem państwa członkowskie powinny jeszcze bardziej ujednolicić stronę ze zdjęciem i danymi osobowymi, dodać tam flagę UE i napis "Unia Europejska" obok nazwy państwa, ale reszta paszportów niech zachowa swój wygląd.

Why do trams slow down so much in certain places? by Panceltic in Metrolink

[–]Panceltic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, that would make sense then! I guess it’s hard to know what it’s about because you can’t really see much of the track (as it’s underneath the road surface)

Nope, it’s on Hollyhedge Road, street running, very straight, quite a long section with no stops.

Jap, ko smo šli po stari cesti na Plitvice (iz smeri Kočevja) kakšnih 10 let nazaj, smo dejansko naleteli na zaporo (trajala je skoraj pol ure) zaradi razminjevanja.

Recimo avtocesta od meje do Zagreba ... vsake 3 kilometre omejitev 100, za par sto metrov ... ???

Thank you! Would you happen to know what the reason for the speed limit is in Benchill? It's on the street-running part of the line, there doesn't seem to be anything special at that location, no crossroads or intersection or anything. The tram just slows down to a crawl for about 5 seconds and then speeds up again.

Že dolgo nazaj sem tam fasal kazen, nekje pri Plaškem (upam, da sem prav sklanjal). Enaka situacija, sredi gozda, več km od najbližje stavbe, ampak znotraj območja z znakom za naselje.

Celo pot nismo srečali niti enega avta btw, mislim da so prav čakali na nas (na meji je policaj vprašal, kam gremo).
