I'm apparently at the tender age of 'have a bunch of pills to lower your blood pressure' now. While that's all well and good I'd honestly like to stop taking them at some point.
Seeing as how I probably won't benefit from all of you exercising on my behalf, hit me up with your best recipes for (preferably, but not exclusively) vegetarian recipes with plenty of legumes and cruciferous vegetables.
Lufthansa are cancelling 20,000 unprofitable shorthaul flights in order to save fuel over the coming six months. This will save 40,000 metric tons of fuel. [0]
So they're burning 80,000 metric tons a year on short haul flights in Europe while losing money doing so. Can we stop doing that sort of thing permanently and collectively as a continent?
Group capacity decreases by less than one percent in available seat kilometers (ASK) through the cancellation of unprofitable routes in Frankfurt and Munich, while simultaneously expanding existing routes in Zurich, Vienna and BrusselsReductions through October affect 20,000 flights, resulting in jet fuel savings of more than 40,000 metric tonsS...
I've decided to test out Alpine Linux as a desktop OS. Given the state of things <gestures vaguely in the direction of nazis and slop> I've got to ask:
Is there any good reason not to?
Sometimes you find a place that's really nothing special in terms of price or prestige, but which is still truly special for some other reason.
For me, tonight, that place is Shawarma Bar in Guldsmedegade in Aarhus. Probably the best in Jutland.
The concept is deceptively simple: Flatbreads cooked on site during the quiet parts of the day, spit built in the morning from proper meat, iceberg, tomato, and red onion chopped daily. In no way unique, but excellent quality.
The reason it's special is time. My first visit was shortly after they opened their doors in 1996. I've come by whenever I've been in town since, sometimes frequently, sometimes years apart. I must have had hundreds of their shawarmas over the years. Every one of them the same good quality and taste.
That's 30 years of doing one thing and doing it really well. You don't get that much these days.
Trying to book #CrossBorderRail journeys in advance is always great fun. Trying to go between Copenhagen and Stockholm in late July is interesting.
The only operator able and willling to sell me tickets right now is Snälltåget, so I get to join a bunch of presumably very tired sleeper train seated coach passengers at 06:00. I'm sure they've had a delightful upright night and will be pure bundles of joy the remaining five plus hours to Stockholm...
SJ are perfectly happy to sell me Malmö-Stockholm at a more reasonable hour, but no one wants to admit to running trains across the bridge on the 27th of July.
I wonder if the Elsinore-Helsingborg ferry would make any sort of sense?
Felt terrible yesterday and slightly less so today, so I tried going on a walk with my oldest. Managed less than 2 km at a ridiculously low pace and with stops at every bench. Thought something was seriously wrong.
Came home to the news that the Copenhagen are pollen record for alder has been surpassed by quite a bit. Anything above 50 is high. Yesterday was 2304 and today is 320.
No wonder I'm not at peak performance.
I finished the day by capitulating and installing an extra access point upstairs.
The deck separating the two storeys of our flat is 25 cm of reinforced concrete and I just couldn't find a stairwell position that managed to cover everything in a reasonable way.
One @mikrotik wAP ax on each storey has me maxing out our outbound line from anywhere in the flat (yes, I know they're outdoor APs but the antenna radiation pattern and the ridiculously good value for money works for me).
