I was very excited by the idea of an overnight train in Europe but the reality was a bit underwhelming. We went from Cologne to Vienna which was roughly from 10 pm to 7 am which wasn’t super convenient timing on either end. Also the cabins were super claustrophobic for me when the beds were folded down. Fun once but I would probably fly next time.

And kill dev productivity.

What a mess. Wait a week, maybe the price will go up or down another 3%. Who knows!

You can’t say “it is good design to have small composable building blocks” and then complain about the number of those blocks.

I'm sure he also benefits a lot from feedback. Someone goes to book a route he suggests, and the connection now doesn't work, they are going to tell him, and he can update his page on it.

Amazing resource. And such a depth of info... we wanted to go from London to Vienna by train, and there is a page on that specifically, and three different options for the journey depending on whether you want a sleeper or want to go through Switzerland or want to go the fastest route. And then specific instructions for booking each trip on the various country's railway websites, and connection info for the train stations. Ridiculous.

If you don’t trust Facebook to do the right thing, that thread is not much of a defense, since it just says they will police their partners.

Wouldn't you just be testing if they read the blog posts?

It’s pretty easy to get a simple setup to do single color prints at your local arts and craft store. Speedball brand sells the ink and press and various other bits and bobs. You can either carve in linoleum which is softer and easier but less precise, or in wood. We’ve done Christmas card this way a couple of times and the results have been great if a little “rustic”.

OTOH, doing multi block, perfectly aligned woodblock prints like the ones in the link is quite difficult. There’s no shortcut, you have to carve each color block by hand.

Aren’t the three “foreign” cars ranked above it also made in America?

I’ve noticed sometimes the parking minimum is essentially just used as a source of power for the zoning board. They don’t actually want places to build the required large amounts of parking, but they don’t want to have to rubber stamp developments that they don’t like. So they waive the parking requirements of people that make the changes that they want.

I would say it’s exactly “halfway decent”. There’s very little feedback and bugs tend to get closed as duplicates but since it’s not public you can’t monitor the state of the duolicates.
