it's not just the BBC, every cunt does that these days.
I truly hate this kind of thing, where they grease the path of least resistance and impose maximum friction on the option that actually gives you a proper choice.
The constant need to "make money" inevitably just makes everything subjectively worse. It's depressing.
In my personal opinion, trains leaving from and going to the same location shouldn't cost different prices depending on the operator.
But here we are. Going between Reading and Basingstoke you can either pay more to use the slow frequent train, or less to use the fast infrequent train.
Use the ticket on the wrong service, and you can expect to buy a second ticket.
Oh, no…
I mean, why. WHYYYYY.

If, like me, you have a shortage of RS232 (DE9/DB25) serial cables but a glut of Cisco console cables, you might find this useful
How to make a "universal" serial cable from a Cisco console cable.
https://www.philpem.me.uk/computer/serial_cable
I've found this *really* handy for wiring up the serial ports on the cable headend. USB to serial adapters and null cables are fine, but a USB console cable with a DE9 adapter on the end is much tidier.
A universal serial cable I've been playing around with RS232-interface peripherals a lot recently, and keep finding that I never have the right cables on hand.philpem.me.uk - Phil Pemberton's website

¡Rudos y Técnicos! Dos equipos rivales de toda la vida, enfrentados en batallas épicas… pero ahora, ante la invasión de monstruos, han dejado de lado sus diferencias para combatir un mal común. Solo juntos podrán salvar el evento de las garras del Dr. Demente
Estos fueron los badges de equipos para los Fursuit Games organizados por mi amigo Steel y por mí. Los equipos en los badges están representados por Raucous el mapache (del lado de los Rudos) y por Yuri el tlacuache (del lado de los Técnicos)
Estos Fursuit Games sucedieron en Confuror, en Guadalajara, México.

These were the team badges for the Fursuit Games organized by my friend Steel and me. The teams on the badges are represented by Raucous the raccoon (on the Rudos side) and Yuri the possum (on the Técnicos side)

Ugh, just my luck! I move away and just a few months later a comic con starts up in my old area, just 5 miles from where I used to live.
(Admittedly it's being held at a primary school, which suggests it might not be a particularly large event…)

¡Damas y caballeros! ¡Prepárense para los Fursuit Games del siglo! O al menos eso dice mi guión que diga.
Los monstruos han invadido la convención y solo los más valientes héroes y heroínas podrán salvar el evento de las garras del Dr. Demente (antes Dr. Enchilada, ugh, ¿Porqué tuvo que rebrandearse su nombre?).
Divididos en dos equipos, los Rudos y los Técnicos. ¿Podrán derrotar a los monstruos? ¿Qué equipo será mucho más competente?

Ladies and gentlemen! Get ready for the Fursuit Games of the century! At least that's what my script tells me to say.
Monsters have invaded the convention and only the bravest heroes will be able to save the event from the clutches of Dr. Demente (formerly Dr. Enchilada, ugh, why did he have to rebrand his name?).
Divided into two teams, the Rudos and the Técnicos. Will they be able to defeat the monsters? Which team will be much more proficiency?
Fursuit Games organized by the great Steelical and myself, during Confuror, in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The theme of the convention was "Monstruos vs. Luchadores" inspired by Mexican science fiction films from the 50s and 60s, starring famous Mexican lucha libre wrestlers.

Happy Halloween, y'all! Reaching all the way back to 1996 for this photo of Ysengrin at Haunted Verdun Manor.
Terrible idea: a scifi story set in a early-20th century idea of the solar system.
Mars is a dying desert covered in canals to bring water from the poles to the sand cities at the equator.
Venus is a humid jungle/swamp full of strange beasts.
Both are fully habitable by humans with no more gear than you'd need to cross the Sahara or venture into the rainforest.
The trick? This is actually a distant future realistic setting. We terraformed the planets specifically to be like that.
It’s Halloween night. Claud, the tiger, thought they could get away with it at getting the two candy buckets, they were sneaking one when BAM!! A ferocious shadow figure appears behind!!
It was Winter, the red panda, wrapped loosely like a mummy and with a mischievous grin!
For the first time the “scary” wah pose worked!
Happy Halloween!!
Enjoy it! Don’t eat too much candy, share them with your panda friends!
Pic for Winter, the red panda, and Claud, the tiger.

more things should have copy-on-write functionality
if not because it makes it any better, because you now get to say "my language/file system has cow"
It's one thing for traffic to be disrupted, your city stopped, and +100 deaths to be caused by a human-triggered weather event.
It's something so much more disturbing, even unbearable, to have a journey deliberately delayed by young punks.
(Very rough numbers) The deliberate acts of 9/11 killed as many USians as tobacco kills every week.
+1,000,000 innocent Iraqis were killed to avenge the insult of 9/11.
And 2000 USians have died every week since 2001 from tobacco usage.
So, maybe you already heard about it, botsin.space will shut down somewhere next year. Around December, it will go into Read-Only and probably finally shut down around March next year...
https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/
At the moment I don't know any alternatives to botsin.space and since we are posting images almost every day it's probably not wanted everywhere?
So question to all of you, does anyone know alternative bot instances?
Please add @Kuraiko if you answer 🙂
