This is such a weird autumn so far though? Things are fairly off, trees would already be much more colorful mid October.

Even a small drop is kinda shit and difficult to mitigate with technical measures (unlike extending steps on outside as the previous picture), this is just some historical artifact of the platform being not even 760, just few cm above for 550 because of an old underpass, and it's actually bad

Cat Poníčková @louhip.northsky.social · 14/10/2026

Not really, rebuilding the platforms would probably take much longer then the train lifespans. But it's a bit shitty situation because 760 train on 550 platform is still functionally mostly accessible, while the opposite combo is pretty bad.

It does not get more anti-car than me, but whoever is cheering this had lost the plot honestly. You're still using valuable street space for non-short-term vehicle parking. Cool, it's not a car, but so what. Transportation on inflated rubber bad, period.

Cat on a bus and a tram, nobody got (visibly) mad and even got offered a seat despite making a terrible drama of of the entire 15 minute long trip.

Examples of other ideas implemented much without thinking, just because they looked cool. S1 is the most important line with the largest passenger share and significantly higher frequency, and most S61 connections don't go to Vršovice, only few on weekends. Could you tell?

I will scream here as well because I mean why not. So you see this departure board at a metro station vestibule, how long you think you will have to wait for the next departure in direction of Háje? Five minutes. Well. Wrong. The answer is roughly 30 seconds.

So they essentially turned a bus depot into a very partial trolleybus depot and it's bit funny, but ok? I assume some of this can also be shared with electric buses which in Prague mostly have pantographs with split collectors that can (stationery) recharge from the trolleybus overhead wiring?

I got myself the new BlackMill old person WW1 shooter, except I didn't realize this one is going to be full of actual Turkish nationalists, which is an extreme genre of a person. Also the game is now having like maybe too much in it. Verdun was too bare, but this is overloaded with mechanics.

Well you need some temperature difference to cool at night. (That spike is a short window when the sensor has a direct exposure, it's very imperfect and captures the building heat more than ambient air, but still shows that there simply isn't even 25 to cool down to anymore...)

Cat Poníčková @louhip.northsky.social · 27/06/2026

This is surprisingly workable. The seal would easily cover much larger window too. But it doesn’t block any noise anymore so it’s really just extreme measure.

For some reason, Siemens was sending Vectrons for VR on little transport undercarriages. Which is not necessary, it absolutely can use loaned 1435mm bogies, it's just a normal Vectron (and it was done for some dynamic tests in Czechia), but for whatever reason, they did that instead.

Somehow, learning that Klánovice is named after some real estate speculator who founded it in 1882 is kind of mindblowing. I thought it's just a random name.

Cons: Brunhilda absolutely murdered that plant. Pros: She now seems to be comfortable resting in plain sight in the middle of the room (after a month, socializing this cat is just something), satisfied with the kill probably.

Shouldn't be surprised, my parents' neighbors have long time ago petitioned the town to build a sidewalk because there must be one, right? And then just ended up parking their tow trailer there. It's a dead end street (for cars) anyway, so who cares? (If they happen to read this: fuck you, lol.)

Imagine posing for a picture like this to supposedly "prove" a point that your parking fine is "preposterous". No words.

Prague reality (stolen from zdopravy). A bench, the black sign in Czech inviting you to sit, from the original housing project developer. On the right, inevitably, a sign from someone (unclear whom) telling you to sod off in Czech, English and Ukrainian because "private property".

Somehow some Apple logic has decided I really care about this spot in the middle of a random street and keeps giving me directions there every day. It has absolutely no significance, it’s on my walk back home from the office but I don’t stop there or anything. Why.

Somehow, this is meant to be last black coal to be mined in Czechia today. That took quite a while. (The 1946 date on the cart is for the specific mine, but it's the last one.)

Now if you think about it, Romania basically needs the high speed rail network mostly comparable in length with Spain, but for less than half of the population(barely 19 compared to almost 50M) and very off-center capital city. It's quite depressing. How do you even afford that?
