Writing out my recent travels. Had to break it into two parts as it is longer than I'd planned.

These are called long and thin routes, and were usually the forte of the old 757. Routes that could still turn a profit on a smaller number of passengers. ETOPS meant a small twin could go much further than before.

It's a laugh because we know that person, and have probably *been* that person on some days, but it also ignores things like working on holiday (done that regularly) working well out of hours (ditto) so I won't judge fucking around on the clock too harshly.

Remember Belgium doesn’t exist, it is simply a joke the French made up.
You can notice it as the border control has to check if your smurf on your passport is legitimate!

@finner Usually if the postgres (or any package) is from the standard apt repos it should be straightforward. Do-release-upgrade is quite aggressive; if it can't upgrade pg, the worst case might be you'll have to reinstall it.

@tayfonay Oh and also I knew this one person in London they met when they visited in 2014

@tayfonay I used to find it amusing. It's better than the endless "do you like the Premier League?"

@tayfonay When I first came to the US people (usually Baristas) asked me if I knew Dr. Who or Downton Abbey.

If you need information on the risks associated with generative artificial intelligence, I recommend “The Intelligence Illusion” by Baldur Bjarnason @baldur illusion.baldurbjarnason.com (see also needtoknow.fyi for a preview of the contents)

It's a solid review of the available knowledge, it definitely helped me when I wrote my posts on ChatGPT. Baldur has just published a 2nd edition, which he offered to people who bought the 1st one. And he's having a Black Friday sale, so go for it.
