One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States of America. Unbelievable

@nikstankovic_ Still nothing beats French TGV. Literally walk up from the street to the platform and board the train. No security like in Spain. No border controls like Eurostar.

For a stupid reason this post became controversial. It's like people are talking past each other.
Can you "turn up 10 minutes before departure time" for China's HSR? Turn up where? At the station? I think the meaning of this reply is that some of these train stations are so big--bigger than most Western airports--that you may not make it to your gate in 10 minutes from the entrance of the station. Plus you do have to get through security too, which, although it is much less thorough than at the airport, can still take 5 minutes, sometimes longer because there is a line, especially during rush hours, weekends, holidays, etc.
But sure, you can show up 10 minutes before departure at your gate.
So 20 minutes is probably right, at the station, I'd never do less than 30 just to be safe.
Still much better than flying.

It's disingenuous to say to people not familiar with Chinese HSR they 'can turn up 10 minutes before departure time' - as in the vast majority of cases, from the vast majority of stations that tourists will be travelling from (Beijingnan, Hongqiao, Badaling etc) you simply can't.

@nikitabier @dvorahfr I must admit my timeline is good. Almost all posts are interesting!

There is no geolocking.
There have been a lot of viral posts in Japanese and other foreign languages and it organically changed the country distribution of impressions the last 2 weeks.
The timeline is a living, breathing thing. Viral trends happen.
Getting the same Sam Altman drama and political rage bait every day is not good for anyone.

@WeirdMedieval Nowadays everything I buy is from polyester fortunately 😬 (I wear mostly gym clothes)

its crazy that you can live 25 years without knowing that moths can show up at your house and ruin everything you hold dear and then boom one day it happens and you’re totally blindsided

@LondonPriceDrop Looks like they couldn’t afford to remortgage to new much higher 5y fix rate 😭

YT Music: Hey, did you know you can download music to your phone? Me: Great, so I can play it when I don't have service? YT Music: Well....no, you'll just get a loading spinner if you don't have service. But when you do have service it will use less data to play the music.

Reminds me of how the weather app on iOS is designed by people that experience 70 degree F weather 300 days a year

Ah, but remember, they live in a “full democracy” and we live in a “dictatorship”.
I’m sure the people who make the freedom and democracy indexes will be updating them immediately.

People under 30 might not remember that we could go weeks without hearing from or thinking about the President of the United States.

For IT guys above my pay grade. What would cause me to have to re-enter my WiFi password on every device in my house? My Nest thermostat, every laptop, PC, Xboxes, etc. The WiFi password never changed, but I had to reenter it on every device

@CarbonCriminal Those buildings need maintenance. It’s not stores making them ugly, it’s the crumbling brickwork, dirty roofs, not painted windows…

Popped into town. It’s a rare event these days because there’s nothing there worth buying. Little to my surprise, there’s another vape shop and a nail salon. I’m not joking, there are three kebab shops, three vape shops, six Turkish/Kurd barbers, I think two nail bars, and a couple of non-KFC chicken outlets. The rest of the high street is betting shops, charity shops and card shops. It happened so fast.

The more civilian infrastructure we destroy in Iran and the more we set back their economy, the more determined Iran will be to extract the maximum possible toll from oil passing through what is now their strait.
That toll will be paid by us and the rest of the world through a higher cost of living.
So just be aware that every video of a bridge being blown up, a pharmaceutical plan destroyed, a medical clinic flattened, is a video of something *you* are going to pay to rebuild.

@policytensor The Arabian plate is converging with the Eurasian so the Hormuz strait will close by itself in a few millions years effectively rendering this entire issue irrelevant.

@kingstontoon @khalidmovic @Falilatt_ Oh this is where pre-tips come from? I’m in Europe and never understood why Uber is asking me to tip BEFORE 🤣 like how do I know how my experience will be?? And it’s because in the USA they won’t event pick a ride/meal for you without it? lol
English
@khalidmovic @Falilatt_ I get tipping to an extent but the pre-tipping thing for online deliveries is simply ridiculous. Everywhere else, you order and either tip cash or through the app when your food turns up in one piece when it should. Can you take the pre-tip back if they mess up?
English
Genuinely curious, what happens if I refuse to tip in America?
🏴TheEnglandSocial🏴@SocialEngland66
If I ever went America, no one’s getting tipped.

NASDAQ up almost 2% on headlines that Iran won’t accept a ceasefire or open the Strait is pretty notable.

NASDAQ up 2% on headlines that China says the U.S. is lying and they haven’t even spoken yet is pretty notable.
