I’ve been using https://fedia.io/ while kbin has been down. It runs on mbin which is a fork of kbin. If kbin comes back properly I’ll quite probably move back, either way it’s good to have options.

Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.

Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.

My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.

It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

Thanks for the informative reply and the references. Very interesting!

One of the problems Amtrak is facing at the moment is a lack of rolling stock. The author notes that the California Zephyr was running full. It’s also running a shorter consist that it would have traditionally because of a lack of units. Increasing the length of the consist, assuming the engines can pull it, would reduce the emissions per seat. The ridership demand is there, the investment into Amtraks stock is, sadly, not.

Usually interest free for 3 or so months. Pay 1/3 a month.

Thanks for the update Ernest, and best wishes for your health to improve.

It works on high speed lines in Spain, where you’ve got Renfe, SNCF and Trenitalia all competing for business between Madrid and Barcelona. Also in Italy where Italo and Trenitalia compete head to head on a bunch of route. London/Paris isn’t that much different.

Hopefully some competition will improve things. If this gets off the ground it can only be good for prices and service. https://www.euronews.com/travel/2023/10/12/evolyn-the-high-speed-rail-startup-with-mystery-investors-coming-for-eurostars-crown

Trump increased the average felony charges per president to 2.

Trump: 96
All other previous presidents combined: 0

Most notable thing about this game was it was one of the first to launch with FSR3 frame generation. Other than that I think I’d have completely forgotten about it.

Planes and shipping are ‘only’ about 2% each, they’re far from the biggest polluters. For the big polluters you’ve got road transport, agriculture and industry etc…
