Usually, when traveling by train between countries that use different railway gauges, passengers need to change trains

However, sometimes on long-distance or sleeper connection, an alternative solution is used – bogie exchange

The entire train is rolled into a maintenance depot, then railcars are decoupled and lifted off their bogies (the element that wheels are attached to) using a special crane

Bogies get rolled out, and a new set is rolled in to align with a car and lower it back down onto it

That procedure is used for freight cars e.g. on the China-Russia border, but also it's a standard procedure for passenger coaches, in such cases doors get locked for the time of the operation and passengers remain inside while the cars are worked on

This allows multiple long-distance connection from Ukraine to Europe to exist, before the war and COVID also allowed multiple Russian trains to enter European rails

It was nice while it lasted but unfortunately the computer didn’t like streaming it.

It was very relaxing right up until the point it threw a blue screen at me

What if instead of E for Energy Tank, we turned it into an M. What’s it stand for? Marinara Tank, of course!

That’s Tour of Italy, in a nutshell,

I really hope that the constant state of flux that every social media site is in inspires more people to make personal websites again. Nekoweb and Neocities are great and there's still the old hosts like Tripod kicking around if you'd rather plug together a site without code

We're going on an outing pretty soon, so we took some time this morning to head up the mountains.

It was very breezy and chilly, so it was nice to stop off at the cafe at our destination for a very tasty brekky!

Love drawing simple fluffy characters where less is more but wanted to experiment with crosshatching for the shirt wee
Think it worked out!

this AI shit sucks

check out the fediverse, we have:
- a TV trivia game show winner
- the guy that made not one, but two JavaScript engines
- the Dutch government
- people that worked on software that lets them know where every train in Europe is, all at once
- people that got videogames to work on gaming routers
- the person that made a Minecraft server in a scripting language from the 70s
- Linux phone users
- some German government
- furries
- a person that can get Minecraft to run on a PowerBook G4 (30 FPS)

had a brief moment of absurdity last night

A pair of sketches for @newdarkcloud . Enigma was curious about how Ajani might be interpreted if he traveled to Bloomburrow. So I helped out a bit with some fun sketches based on original Magic the Gathering cards!

Left inspiration - "Ajani Vengeant" (2008, Wayne Reynolds)
Right inspiration - "Ajani, Mentor of Heroes" (2014, Aaron Miller)

We kept the poses the same as the cards, just shuffled everyone's favorite planes-hopping cat man to some other species. Enjoy!
