  • Just a quick note, if you look at the overhead wires, you can see a small white spot, that is an arc flash between the pantograph and the wires, I don’t know why it is there, it usually happens when there is an interruption of the power connection, between the wire and the pantograph, it is common during winter when ice forms on the wire, but not that common during summer/late summer.

    It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

    Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

    I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense







  • I don’t have a lot of crazy stories, but I have one unusual story.

    I got to go take a private train with my dad.

    We had one first class car and one locomotive.

    My dad worked in the train industry, he sold equiment used for railroads.

    He called me one day and asked if I wanted to ride a private train, I had time so I gave the only apropriate answer, “yes”.

    So after having worked a night shift I slept far too little, got on the train to the city my dad was in to ride the private train back.

    He was doing a demo of his company’s equipment and had arranged for them to use a private train, I just joined him on the journey to our city as a fun and interesting experience.




  • THE solution is not to buy the wife an Android, that is ONE solution.

    In total, there are a few solutions, I number them to make it easier to refer to them, not to order them from best to worst.

    1. Get yourself an iPhone
    2. Get your wife an Android
    3. Wait for iOS 18
    4. Switch to a messaging app like Element or Signal.

    1 and 2: Unless you yourself can accept switching to using the other system, it is unfair to demand that the other part does that.

    I have tried to switch to Android, I did it back in 2019, but I just disliked the feel of the OS enough that after dropping my phone and smashing the screen after 2-3 months, I didn’t even bother to get it fixed, I just moved back to my iPhone.

    1. iOS 18 will have RCS, and will probably solve this.
