Wear less, wear better, or ride gentler, unless you’re one of the (unknown size) minority that can’t ride on a cold day without sweating.

If you think you can bike in any weather, you haven’t biked enough 😅. There’s absolutely limits. Regardless, you don’t need to carry a change of clothes when you use your car.

Yes, but conditions outside the limits for a bike are also generally unsafe to drive in. It’s lovely to ride on studded tyres past a line of cars that have slid into a snowbank.

You don’t need to carry a change of clothes on a bike often, but if you do, clothes are usually light and we have suit carriers, shirt shuttles and so on. Some of which are also used to carry a change of clothes in cars.

Some people, mostly anglophone, like to play spandex dress-up for cycling or sprint lots, but that’s a choice, not a necessity.

Yes, and maybe one of them would like the depot or to run an extra service. That’s what I’m saying. Eurostar hasn’t been allowed to hog the Temple Mills train depot, so why should Eurotunnel hoard the Barking freight depot on the link to the state-owned LTS line? These depots are expensive to build and can only go in limited places, so they should use it, sell it, or lose it.

it had scrapped plans to reopen a freight terminal in Barking and to run a new direct freight service from Lille.

Fine, let another freight operator have them, then.

Meanwhile, their biggest shareholder is still building part of HS2. 🤷

No, but could you feed the website with mismatched tags through something like tidy first? That error looks like maybe it’s expecting xhtml and getting html. Maybe the site is declaring one, then using the other. Lots of software won’t care because it’s a pretty common error, but some panics.

Thank for elaborating my comment, but I never said never, only that it’s usually better to avoid it.

And yven if you think it’s provably impossible to get an Error back now, someone or something may change an underlying function behaviour on you in the future and invalidate your proof. There are ways to limit that with version control and pinning and so on, but it’s easy for an assumption to be overlooked when merging in new versions of things.

So yes, I agree, better to use ? at least here, but like all guidelines, there may be times where you break it, accepting the risks.

They used .unwrap(…) in production, which can escape notice until there’s an error, then it panics. It’s better to always handle the potential error, or at least use ? to pass the error back to the caller.

Sensible? They call it Danish-style, but the Danish Social Democrats reportedly just got their bottoms handed to them at the local elections ballot box, losing almost half their mayors and about a quarter of their councillors from the last local elections, with Copenhagen electing a non-Social-Democrat mayor for the first time since the post was created in 1938. Is that what Labour really wants to turn itself into?

Didn’t stop the signs as late as the 1980s.

And now Farage has suspended a party councillor for letting the mask slip too far:

Tom Pickup, who was elected to Lancashire county council in May […] posted: “Everyone in Reform is a lot more hardline on immigration than is typically stated publicly, to get a majority government we have to be tactical.”

[…] Pickup, who was the council’s lead member for resources and finance, admitted he was a member of the group but said his messages had been “twisted out of context”. He said he was not aware of the more extreme posts, which included one person allegedly calling for a “mass Islam genocide” and encouraging others to stockpile weapons to attack “lefties” and “migrants”.

And bicycles are ridden both by poor workers who can’t afford cars and the elite who don’t need to rush about in cars, so it’s a form of transport that all classes can be told to hate! 🙄

Does it work for the politicians? Hidalgo re-elected, Kahn re-elected, to name two. I don’t remember all the bike-bashers who lost because history soon forgets most losers.

safe or just safer?

Could be good polling with poor explanation!

Is any national dictator’s army yet doing the “two steps forward, one step back” march to appear less scary?

That depends who’s hosting it. There’s few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.

Even if you self-host, other people’s mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I’d say it’s more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it’s not being a pain, there’s probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!

It’s still often worth self-hosting, but that’s more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don’t set their mailservers up well and it’s often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Can people go by bike?

Even better, go watch a bike race. It’s probably much cheaper, even with some travel.

Any browsers except the minimal servoshell yet?

Is it faster to start up? Is it less snoopy? Are these in some FAQ I missed?

It does say billions of pounds bet, so probably one of Entain, Evoke, Flutter or bet365, as not many others are that big.
