00:01:04 <Kuschelpony> good to know, then i will make photos dedicated for you on my next big travel in 4 weeks
00:01:33 <rc-garage> oh cool. what direction are you going this time?
00:02:11 <Kuschelpony> btw: you might also take a look at the S-Train line 1 in Berlin, the first Inside-City-Fast-Train in europe that is now getting close to 130 years old and you could still catch exactly the same photos of the same buildings as they did in the 1890s years
00:02:24 <Kuschelpony> ohi meant to Berlin, visiting the Folsom streetfair
00:02:32 <rc-garage> oh, ok.
00:02:44 <Kuschelpony> do several other small to medium travels every second week approcimately
00:02:56 <rc-garage> yes, there are things I want to see in berlin, but I am not really sure I want to go to berlin, lol
00:03:20 <rc-garage> I am just not a city person, I guess
00:03:37 <Kuschelpony> a curiousity of the S1 train line is that it gets its power not from an overhead wire but from a third rail next to the traction rails, but this line is SO old that the 800V are open in the landscape and just a fence next to it
00:04:07 <Kuschelpony> oh i do not go to <Berlin> but to specific <Shops> and <Events> in Berin
00:04:15 <rc-garage> yeh
00:05:28 <rc-garage> I have thought about... was it what is left of the aeg factory somewhere there, and borsig. But I dont think there is much left of those
01:36:39 <Kuschelpony> lets see how many hours it takes until parents=houseowners angrily call me to shut off the fans in the window
02:11:36 <rc-garage> I think ear plugs would be a good investment
02:17:14 <Kuschelpony> more the kind of whispering neighbours "how they failed to raise their son, he is again doing his things not like the normal people do"

10:21:21 <EEVBot> [url] Met Office warns another heatwave could hit UK in September after sweltering 38C temperatures | The Independent | www.independent.co.uk
10:21:29 <MrMobodies> Now this sounds just about right.
10:22:20 <MrMobodies> A possibility of another heatwave and no flowery language to describe favourable conditions like this time in August - Septermber 2024
10:25:35 <MrMobodies> Suppose to renovate the upstairs a month ago but it was just too hot and that was the second heatwave
11:59:04 <MrMobodies> At the pub on Friday quite of a customers getting annoyed from noises off their phones from the emergency alerts
11:59:43 <DogWomble> we had conspiracy theorists go nuts over our emergency alert test a few weeks back
12:00:06 <DogWomble> more of the usual government nanobot tracking bullshit
12:00:08 <MrMobodies> and these alerts were for wildfires a long way away. Fortunately my phone is so old I don't get that bother
12:01:40 <MrMobodies> I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist for that, maybe other things, for the emerency alerts I just want to be left alone.
12:01:58 <MrMobodies> Like here:

12:02:00 <EEVBot> [url] Thames Water lenders offer 'golden share' to head off nationalisation - BBC News | www.bbc.co.uk
12:02:33 <MrMobodies> Lenders threatening the government with legal action and it isn't even publically owned yet.
12:02:48 <MrMobodies> This bit: "The lenders are also proposing giving local authorities greater involvement in the firm"
12:03:00 <MrMobodies> No I think they just want to dictate and control everything to suit their income model.
12:04:16 <MrMobodies> like recently when they are drawing up plans to build datacenters with funding their are getting from the government along with piping to support homes, Now is that necessary.
12:05:00 <MrMobodies> Unless they are using these datacentres for more capacity to record customer consumption around the clock which they just announced surge/dynamic pricing yesterday
12:05:59 <MrMobodies> I don't want them to know when and how I turn a tap on, one day work out the capacity of my toilet cisten and penalize me for a cistern that no longer complies with their water efficiency standards.
12:07:51 <MrMobodies> Joke: "According our statistics that we receive from your smart meter, we detected 6 litres at a regular intervals and think you are using an outdated inefficient toilet cisterns"
12:09:29 <MrMobodies> After paying the fine, we'll reward you with some bricks in the post that you can put in your outdated cisterns to make tem become more efficient so they don't flush too good"
12:10:17 <MrMobodies> good thing about header tanks it might not always be easy to tell when many taps are running to identify things
12:10:57 <MrMobodies> but over decades they seem hellbent on ripping them out and replacing them with combi's boasting that the space saved is more valuable than water pressure
12:11:14 <MrMobodies> Speaking of which of this last week
12:12:53 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/jj8ygjVf/Poorwaterpressure.jpg
12:13:54 <MrMobodies> the taps are poor attimes but when we have showers or baths that don't bother us as fortunately we made sure this house had a header tank and proper central heating independent of the mains water pressure
12:14:09 <MrMobodies> and a shower pump

14:08:49 <EEVBot> [url] Man charged with arson after 'around 10' fires started in popular London park | The Standard | www.standard.co.uk
14:09:08 <MrMobodies> ah right that's why... drugs "Police said a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of arson, setting fires and possession of a Class A drug. "
14:10:33 <MrMobodies> Drugs can cause many things to happen, including fires when the person taking it has neurolically malfunctioned.
