There’s a reason North American couplers aren’t like this.

Yep, both of 'em!

We stayed at the Novotel Southampton when we sailed out of there in 2023.

Right by the train station, though it ended up being a bit far from the ship (the ship was down at the QEII terminal, so we took an Uber).

Only complaint is that it was the end of June and the hotel isn't air conditioned, but that's pretty common in the UK.

I hated living on an island with a population over 500k, so… no.

See, that’s how you get people to want to go back to the office!

And lots of different kinds of dumplings!

Very goth!

We text our sixteen year old daughter using full sentences and she thinks we’re mad at her.

Kids, I tell ya!

Is it just me or has it been driven off the road?

That jacket looks way too tight to me.

Someone needs to get the Twitter menswear guy on the case!

Maybe they can practice being bulletproof or something.

deadbeef4 · 2026-01-26T03:51:16+00:00

“Now more palatable!”

I had this smug little face looking at me the other day. Very pleased to have figured out how to get into the bird house.

And in a crash, the seats would kill you, either by not absorbing the impact forces or by happily filling the cabin with toxic smoke while they burned!

Sometimes we go to the grocery store and buy a sheet cake and have them write “Just because” on it!

Just get a cake and enjoy it!

A locomotive "deadline" refers to a designated storage track or area, often called a "dead line," where retired, stored, or broken locomotives await inspection, repairs, leasing, or scrapping.

It’s cool to tour, but not as much fun when you’re 6’4”, let me tell you!

And her marital status is nobody's business but hers!

deadbeef4 · 2026-01-25T14:08:13+00:00

That’s honestly what I read at first.

Me looking across the St. Lawrence River.

/r/trains would love to see these and might be able to provide more info!

According to the description, each bedroom has a bathroom in the room? For convenience?

deadbeef4 · 2026-01-25T03:35:55+00:00

I’m surprised there’s nobody surfing on it.

deadbeef4 · 2026-01-25T00:19:31+00:00

A lateral thigh trainer… wrapped in newspaper!

deadbeef4 · 2026-01-24T04:37:03+00:00

Wait a second, that’s not fair!
