Non lethal munitions/weapons are not so non lethal as people think.

Crowd control or demonstration control is another complex problem that can’t be solved by some magic bullet. It is more psychology game when the police tries to look threatening in place where people can easily overpower them.

I think that if you don’t do the same job at some point in time or have really deep insight in the industry/job, you newer know what he’s doing.

From my work experience I can say that most work tasks I had wasn’t that simple (if I don’t count the “human robot” type summer jobs).

Even some simple sounding job titles hide lot of different tasks most people don’t talk about or even don’t think about.

For example I was brew master in small brewery (3 people including myself) - you would think I was there to only make beer, my boss deals with paperwork, and my colleague is there for maintenance and cleaning. In reality I was more of Jack of all trades - maintanance, planning, cleaning, sanitation, kegging, helped with tasks you wouldn’t think about.

And I think business man covers lots of different tasks that are quite boring so I wouldn’t mind not knowing about them.

Here’s the post.

Last week this happened!

I didn’t remember writing the post, nothing offensive I was just asking about good boardgames to play drunk. It was bit surprising seeing the notifications.

Even in some EU countries it’s not required.

At least in my country (CZ) there are more types of companies some have to disclose earnings, yearly economic outcomes… and some don’t have to do it. Even there it is different on how much it is disclosed publicly or only to “shareholders” (owners usually) and how detailed it is.

I think there are IoT sims that can only receive SMS.

My friend wanted to make something with them (I think smart thermostat) when the internet wasn’t everywhere.

Had to look at wiki about the modernization of 810.

And I wasn’t entirely correct the true modernization was performed 2005-2012 basically rebuild to be the yellow RegiNova train.

Last “modernization” 2020-2024 was pretty much stopgap before they can get some new trains. Fitted new motor so AC can be fitted and new interior.

I don’t know the name of the trains that are meant to replace those 70’s trains. But there are options, truth is that it is just aging and is increasingly hard to maintain them in decent condition (most recent modernization was ~2015). At least here it will be replaced eventually for more modern ones, I know it is blast from past but it just doesn’t matter for regular commuter.

Yes too small, too slow and on electrified tracks irrelevant. They are meant for small regional lines, not for suburban transport. It is like running trams as EC trains.

I like them but fortunately didn’t see them in a while. I say fortunately because they get slowly replaced not like the insane plan in Hungary to “modernize” them.

Also they aren’t suited for the place where I live so few lines are still served with the old DB carriages other have the new RegioPanther trains.

Kofola!

Bit more chill than in France, different style of signage (node network) and today ride in Brussels was lot easier than in Paris.

What is worse is that there is forbidden wild camping and they don’t have many campsites, first day I stayed on someone’s garden and then I had bit of long and short days of riding to get somewhere to camp.

I am bikepacking through Europe, I was in Spain, Portugal and now I am heading towards Belgium.

I didn’t used any bike share and no trains here either but it is used here all the time.

To be honest the cycling here is a bit of organised mess. You have to get the vibe of it as it was explained to me. Real problem starts when you want to get outside of Paris because it is so f*ing big, it is half day of riding through suburbs before you get out.

You know in regards to foreign policy of US it is happening for long time, at least since 90’s. What Trump does right now just makes this stuff really obvious for ordinary people.

From my point of view as a foreigner the US political system is broken and nobody tried to correct it so this was only matter of time. And yes when something like this happens most people just want to get by.

There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.

But I made “Loštický zázrak” which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.

You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.

Both of them? They made game for each election.

You had to get our former president and ruzzian asset to vote.

Czech (native speaker) and English, but as I am now in Spain I wish I learned some Spanish, nobody here speaks any English. Yesterday some guy told me that only phrase that he knows is “Beer, very cold.” So that’s that.

Riding my bike. I am on tour (look up my older post) and I have only nature without much civilization right now so not much else to do.

But it is slow today, had a cold night and campsite is in valley so I didn’t get sunshine till 9:30 and my gear is still wet.

It is in my opinion too big to join now as a new user, I think there are some issues with moderation also.

Fediverse needs to scale horizontally so it is bad idea to join the largest server.
