It's part of a larger plan to get cars out of the central city, which is plagued by rush hour traffic and expensive parking.

The point is to get the commuters out of the cars outside of the city by allowing them to ride the train for free from the commuter parking outside the city at the freeway and into the city.

Poverty isn't an issue in this regard. The public transport is already cheap and the entire city has bike lanes everywhere. I wouldn't want to own a car there if I lived there, but for a lot of people it's necessary in order to commute to the city.

If I could drop out of everything for 29 days, I wouldn't come back at all.

Art has always had that issue. Is a potato print worse than a hand drawn figure?

Sometimes you need to know the material or technique to appreciate the effort.

It also applies outside of art. It's not always the end product that is important. We can appreciate things for being more difficult than necessary. Like the game Roller Coaster Tycoon being impressive because it was coded in assembly, or the Olympic guy who no-scoped in the shooting competition etc.

If the AI prompt is the effort, it should be appreciated as such, instead of comparing the end product against other techniques. We also don't compare airbrushed grafitti artwork to oil paintings, because even if the end product of both is a neat picture, it's impossible to judge against each other.

I think it's just a follow up on the recent NATO meeting where everyone decided to suck Trump's cock to make him shut up and play along.

Troels Lund Poulsen is the perfect tool for that.

I'm sorry to tell you that hair dye, plastic glitter and make-up does not come from the ecologic goth homestead.

It came from the mall. Sorry.

"History is written by the victors"

I still learn things about WW2 about how fucked the whole thing really was.

That's Robert Carlyle. Scottish actor, best known from Trainspotting or The Full Monty.

The movie is called "28 week later". I haven't seen it. It's about zombies I think.

Yesterday some uptown girl commented on my ruggy full beard, so today I wore my beard again, because I don't really give a fuck about her opinion.

The misstep was embarrassing for Johnson because the requirement to bring photo ID is a stipulation of the Elections Act which he introduced in 2022 while still in Downing

It's not the onion, because you can't make this shit up.

Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)

I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.

A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)

I am restoring an old chest and while removing a cover under the lid I found this label. As you can see, it's completely undecipherable except for "***halle & co." However there's another label underneath it. I wonder if I can separate them by putting it in water (like stamps off an envelope), but I'm afraid of destroying it if it has any value whatsoever.

The chest is made of wood and metal, but it's in a horrible state. Hinges and screws have been replaced prior to my owning, and the wood is damaged. I plan on restoring it, but would like to know it's history. Judging by materials and the label, I recon this is from 1900-1940s and American.

I'm trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can't see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?

blur - wembley (feddit.dk)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Now, I've been to many concerts and even several blur concerts, but this one felt .. special. Even better than the Hyde park concerts 10+ years ago. Anyone else there?

To me it was like watching their proudest achievement and also delivering on it. Maybe I'm just in awe of the brimfull Wembley stadium shouting along on Park Life, but it definitely felt like this was the final grand stadium concert. I've seen Aerosmith, Green Day, Guns'n'Roses and other larger bands on a full arenas before, but those didn't even come close to this. Despite everything being extremely professionally and on time, they managed to break the wall between the stage and the 90000 in audience.

I'm not even a blur fan as such, but I do acknowledge that their contribution to music is way way underappreciated, or maybe it actually isn't?

The warm-ups sucked, but I think those were a local thing, but the main band really came across brilliantly. I dunno..this was beyond just great, and I have no hopes of ever seeing anything this grand again.

My neighbours won't appreciate it.
