140m high and 200km/h or 500 liters/second. Close look on YT for the non GVA people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt9GQSCcCU

I really don't get it, you can feel its power when you get to the barrier. This thing reeks of "do not get closer" feeling.

Yet, that dude decided to kiss it. He could have won the 2023 Darwin award but he was very lucky.

Bots copy pasting content from Reddit.

There are community filled only with that, no upvotes, no comment, no nothing.

When you finally block the bot those communities disappear as the bot is the only active user.

I’m getting divorced as we speak, nothing is officially signed yet but it will come.

After 13 years of this relationship, I want to be alone at home and won’t be looking for any romance any time soon. Just plain old « enjoyment » and we’ll see what happens in the future.

And regulations for less pavement, concrete etc and more green and trees to provide shade and cooler temperatures.

You can live in extreme temperatures, provided the infrastructures are built for that (ie. Ouarzazate in Morocco).

But with the US urban planning and all for cars policy it won’t happen before it’s too late.

Well it is just a symbol for us french. Nobody would behead someone nowadays, we won't even behead our president. It is only a graphic form of saying "fuck you".

Ok, maybe one or two strange dude would try to really use a guillotine, but fuck them as well.

So that’s why 90% of lemmings are on Arch Linux (recently called Nerd OS in the Linux community on lemmy)

I think the problem is about slot management and the way they work.

In ATC, at least in Europe but FAA is probably more or less the same, your flight can get delayed for whatever reason (meteo, atc capacity, airport etc…).

In case of a delay you get a SAM, slot allocation message with a new EOBT (estimated off block time). You can shorten this waiting time by various means, you will get an SRM (slot revision) and in order to be certain that you won’t miss this slot (or get a new worst one) you have to send a ready message.

Ready means door closed, ready for pushback. And that’s the problem here, that’s how you get stuck in an airplane on the ground, cause you’re « ready ».

That sucks, but a crew will generally not board a plane if they have a huge non negociable slot. But if they think the slot could improve so they can stick to their schedule, you’ll probably end up waiting in a shitty overcrowded cabin.

And sometimes it’s the airport doing shit like pre boarding a plane so they can pack passengers for another flight at the gate.

Wow, the more I write about how the industry work, the more I hate it. Time to change career.

What ?

I work in ATC (air traffic control) and everything runs on Linux, from radars correlation to flight data processing.

And it’s not just us, most Air navigation service provider in the world works the same way.

I’m a bit late to the party but I didn’t delete my account. I edited everything with a message like « deleted because of Reddit API policy, see you on the fediverse »

I think I will leave it like that because that way when a Google search or anything point to one of my post/comment, peoples will see the message instead of just « deleted ».

It’s about the message :)

+1 for it takes two.

There’s also a pretty nice list already in the comments.

I do like a lot Portal 2 but wifey cannot play for too long with me as she becomes impatient. When that’s the case and she just want to watch a story like you would watch a movie, I play A Plague Tales (both of them) and she ends up wanting to know more and finally, crying.
