This ticket is odd by UK standards, and the arrangement you describe isn’t the norm. These seat reservation tickets normally specify a particular seat

Thanks!

Thank you - that’s a really useful answer. I’ll check them out

Thank you - I’ll have a look at that

Now imagine that, but onions

At this stage it’s a trope that people imitate, perhaps without really thinking about it. Originally it was almost certainly an ironic joke about the value of the medals, playing on the old-fashioned bite tests that would be used for for items of dubious worth

“can be” is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

It would make a lot more sense if humans could just lay some sort of egg sac which we could keep in the garage for 9 months until it hatches. I honestly don’t know why biologists and geneticists haven’t dealt with this by now

If anyone finds themselves in this position, you should ignore everything else and just look at the ERTO size, which should be on the tyre itself. This is a standard way of measuring tyres and wheels, and is much better than the old ways

Hark at Simeon Stylites here

Garfield without Garfield was a brilliant idea. This is not only derivative, but also just not very entertaining

If you ask, some places can do early check-in. You might have to pay for it, because it disrupts their routine

Thanks. I’ve never blocked anyone, so it won’t be that. Could be the other thing

It’s not just Sync, I find. I’ve had this issue with other Lemmy apps yoo

I’ve just tested this and it didn’t work. I think this issue, of posts saying there is 1 comment when there are none, is some sort of Lemmy-wide issue. It drives me crazy, as it’s impossible to know whether posts have a comment or not without looking at each individually.

I wonder if my colleagues have picked up on the fact that when I start an email “Dear-” rather than “Hi-”, it means I’m annoyed with them

Such a shame - I’ve followed his work for years

So the rest of us can be wary of similar scams, does any one know what exploit this likely was? Would it be something like seeing a session ID in the website URL?

The other annoying thing they (esp. MS) do is pop up messages like “The whole process of saving files has changed while you were asleep [learn more][got it]” and here, when you need it, there’s never an option for “remind me later”. So you either have to stop what you’re doing and go and read a massive blog entry that’s not actually relevant to the task in hand or you need to dismiss the message and never be able to find it when it’s actually relevant

Always good to get the US perspective on an article about Amsterdam

But the government regulation will never come without a LOT of voters feeling very unhappy, so perhaps don’t tell people they shouldn’t feel unhappy about the situation?
