Highstronaught@feddit.ukto UK Rail and Trains@feddit.uk•Anger after dozens of trees felled along Derbyshire railway line - BBC NewsEnglish2·2 months agoIt’s less about avoiding trees falling on tracks and more avoiding leaf fall onto the lines. Some coniferous trees wouldn’t get the leaf problem but still fall over. Some large coniferous bushes (if they exist) are likely best to go next to railways.
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•California Is About To Run Out of License Plate Numbers1·2 months agoI think you might be mis-understanding slightly? In the UK the date is on the plate as part of the number e.g. AB25 6CD would be on a car registered in 2025. We don’t have anything on cars like a registration (tax disk went long ago) number plates are big and plastic here for some reason, someone smart could probably explain why it’s good or bad.
Sounds really nice, is there a recepie or more details somewhere?
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Ask UK@feddit.uk•What have you heard from your neighbours house?1·3 months agoUpstairs neighbours consist of a heard of dinosaurs. Spoken with them to no result. They have a trampoline in their front room that one of their kids loves to bounce on all the time, including 23:30 last night. I can see the ceiling flexing up and down when they’re bouncing.

Highstronaught@feddit.ukto UK Rail and Trains@feddit.uk•The European tube: Inside the project to launch a continent-wide rail system by 2040English2·3 months agoI’m sceptical of this existing, but would love it so much if it did.
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto SpaceflightMemes@sh.itjust.works•“They were only in space for, like, nine months, which is not long enough to pick up an accent”English10·4 months agoWonder if in the future there will be a “space” accent, will it be specific to planets, stations or moons. Or will it stay similar to the accents from countries that founded the colony?
Lots of disabled people can’t drive, bike infrastructure also accommodates wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hand bikes and other ways disabled people get around.
50% of journeys are 5 miles or less, nobody is seriously suggesting going long distances on bikes (though I have)
You can easily carry a full load of shopping, bits from the diy shop and more, there are even tradespeople who work via a cargo bike rather than van
By cycling you get fitter very quick, you learn to pace yourself but you get faster as you get fitter. E-bikes are also an option too
Can’t fix the air con issue, when I cycled to work I took a change of clothes and got changed there I don’t live in a very hot place though. As for cold, a good set of waterproof mittens, some waterproof overtrousers and a good coat work wonders (and can be used when your not on a bike too)
What about those who can’t drive, how do they get around?
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•St Pancras plans for direct trains from UK to GermanyEnglish1·4 months agoI wish the checks could just be done on the train, I’m not sure what the issue with it is.
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto UK Rail and Trains@feddit.uk•St Pancras plans for direct trains from UK to Germany - BBC NewsEnglish4·4 months agoAFAIK the limit is at passport controll at St Pancras? Can’t wait for more places, also one day having night trains between the un and Europe, getting on a night train in Edinburgh and getting out in Berlin or Warsaw would be the dream.
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Gamebooks / Choose Your Own Adventure / Fighting Fantasy@feddit.uk•Remember those 'choose your own adventure' fantasy books? Well, now they're coming back in this delightfully chonky e-ink console2·5 months agoIf someone could make a script to turn old books into the games, it might be a genuine use of ai, not to write the books, but to format existing ones into a format that is usable.

Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Casual Cycle@feddit.uk•rear derailleur hanger imploded on the way home last night.English2·5 months agoThe community bike workshop i volunteer at sees this fairly frequently, you really sent it to break 2 spokes, must have been going fast. Good luck on the repair, feel free to message me or reply to this if you need any help and I’ll do what I can.
