But but sometimes there is the need for interrailing purposes, even if irrational. We can pretend.

I know this was in place with some operators before, but nice to see it being rolled out more widely. Rail passengers get automatic right to switch operators for free when trains are cancelled www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Hand-drawn figure almost certainly derived from painstaking examination of filmed midge flight. It took them 4 years to publish this. It is indistinguishable from an elaborate squiggle.

Here in the UK, 2018 was the hottest summer on record, then 2025 was the hottest summer on record and now 2026 is the hottest summer on record as well as being very dry. Here is a climate/weather summary for the past 12 months showing the multiple heatwaves we have had. #globalwaming #climatechange

I was thinking about perhaps updating my M1 Mac mini after the recent updates, then I looked at the new pricing. Yikes! With education pricing for M6 16GB/512GB = £999 In an ideal world I was looking for M6 24GB/1TB, but that is £1,469. Truly insane pricing. I think I'll keep my M1 for now...

An excellent addition to the map. A question about the pump storage - does the curtailment make sense to have here? Since I assume the values are negative when the pump is pushing water up the hill and positive when the water is released down the hill?

Useful new tool for #Interrail travellers in Finland: venaarauhassa.fi shows how seats are occupied in VR operated trains, station by station. Shows also the night train sleeper beds! Only in Finnish, but should be easy enough to navigate.

Worth remembering that this government is subsidising a theme park to the tune of £1.3bn. An amount that would go some way to preserving the intellectual and economic footprint of our universities.

New from me: Until recently, the gap between comfortably-off and just-getting-started could plausibly be crossed in a decade or two of hard work. Growth in asset prices means that’s no longer true: even a lifetime of striving doesn’t offer a realistic prospect of feeling you’ve “made it”.

Good if not very encouraging lunch with the FT, with the head of the Met Office. www.ft.com/content/bde8...

The agency's latest modelling suggests that by the middle of the century, Britain could endure long stretches of 40C days, with temperatures hitting

Unfortunately Glasgow is introducing one as well, it is the same 5%, but it isn't starting until Jan 2027. However considering the base fare will be lower, Glasgow will still look like a good option.
