@railmaps Routes 1 and 96 at Park St / Ferrars St South Melbourne is one…

Today this is now a tram over tram bridge. As far as I can think, there were no such things in Australia at that time, but today there are four. Who can list all four modern day tram over tram bridges in Australia ? (Or more if there are any I have missed).

Today's historic pic: Exactly 36 years ago today and just days before the line's closure, a 4-car Grey Ghost converted Harris train on a St Kilda to Sandringham via Flinders Street trip crosses the road and tramway overbridge south of the station at Albert Park, Vic, July 26 1987

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%. The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%. "Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare. However... Let's address that 0.3%. Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret: 👉Unsupportive families. 👉Transphobic environments. 👉Normal post-op distress. Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender. The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve. Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

@SwiftOnSecurity The newer Windows Terminal app no longer works this way by default, so this is less likely to happen any more

@SwiftOnSecurity Exact same thing happened to me during a P1 that brought down a site I had recently run the platform upgrade for. It was less obvious cos the session’s owner only had it on his screen, but they needed guidance

A story. An enterprise data application has been down for a day. 60 people from the company contractors and vendor have been on and off the same 24/7 service bridge call trying to fix it. They are currently waiting for a restore process and have been for hours. Then I log in.

Why is it i put a particular twitter account on mute, because so many of their tweets were appearing in my feed unsolicited Now twitter starts surfacing tweets ABOUT the muted account to my feed. Get the hint, Twitter: Mute = I don’t want to see it!

@danholme I say this having not tried recent Yammer auth flows documented on Microsoft Learn. Doco mentions the need for a support ticket to be raised to fix CORS problems for single page apps. I imagine the same might be needed for a SharePoint client-side / SPFx solution

@danholme Auth would ideally work in different context like Viva Connections / Teams for MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Where CORS and popups cause problems

COMMENTS ON SHAREPOINT PAGES POWERED BY YAMMER/ENGAGE: who in my network has built such a solution (open graph object)? A good customer is interested… And yes I know it’s a crime we haven’t done it ourselves—please pile on the comments and I’ll pass on to the teams.

@LoryanStrant I studied the playlist. Only two Muse tracks? When I saw the savage garden track I had sing the words out to get it…

🚂The old claim that Geelong to Melbourne trains were faster in the steam era, at 60 minutes, just got another airing, on ABC TV news. Sorry, but it's not correct. In 2023, there are trains that do this trip 60 minutes or less. More details: danielbowen.com/2017/02/06/vli…

Oh no! @AntonyGreenElec is predicting his own impending retirement! Can we wait for the pre-polls before he calls it please? #NSWvotes #nswelection

Looking forward to day 2 of the @FullyChargedShw expo. I’m a big fan of #RedDwarf, EV’s, and the concept of electrifying our homes. @bobbyllew is there a chance you’re offering out selfies today? 🙏 #FullyChargedLIVEAustralia #fullyChargedLiveSydney #FullyChargedLIVE

I'm trying to track down the contents of what I think was a powerpoint deck published by @vesajuvonen - it had a whole bunch of templates / style guide type material for #Microsoft365 diagrams. Can anyone help?

@LoryanStrant @carlosmiguelsns ... and the datestamp of the post on the @bindskins blog makes it obvious which one came first.

@LoryanStrant @carlosmiguelsns The similarities are ... striking!

@darrenhayes I really really hope to hear Dublin Sky tonight 😬 plus everything else

I asked #ChatGPT to give me a recipe... in the style of @Nigella_Lawson... its opening line is on point! (nothing to fear, the recipe itself doesn't have Nigella's finesse)

I wrote a blog post! blog.powney.info/2023/01/extrac…

@vesajuvonen I think I can see @erwinvanhunen through the woods! 👀

Beautiful winter morning at Helsinki with moderate temperatures ❄️🌲🐶🐶 Have a peaceful and a great day. You are awesome! 💙💛
