    This is also a great money-saving tip if you’re preparing a meal that uses loads of boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and also are in an area where water costs a lot but not so much that you’ll stop boiling eggs and potatoes in it altogether but would see saving a panful of it as a benefit which, personally, I find highly relatable as I am currently trapped in a desert that has eggs and potatoes instead of sand and also please send help.










  • What a dick you are.

    No-one is going to snatch your locked, trackable, account-associated, encrypted phone out of your hands. But a wallet full of cash and debit cards? A much better target.

    You carry a bunch of random shit around with you? Well, some of us prefer to carry the utter minimal.

    Phone crashes? What phone do you have that regularly crashes in this, the year of our Luigi 2024?

    Network outage? That’s not how it works.

    Dead battery? Anyone bothered by this has already got a solution.

    Here’s the thing: I also don’t use my phone for payment much for same reasons as you, but I don’t feel the need act like a total cunt about it.



  • Without wishing to give too much away, I know a group of people who work at a public transport agency in the UK. They recently had a meeting with Google about “opening up our data” which amounted to Google wanting the agency to sign a contract that would give Google exclusive rights to realtime and scheduling data in perpetuity, then Google would decide if/when/how it would be made public. The agency didn’t say “fuck off”, but something to that effect.

    Now, instead, they’re working with a group of students to create a public API with a permissable licence and a framework for other agencies to do the same.

    So… maybe do hold your breath? Transit is one of those areas that attracts nerds and nerds love open source.
