Fare dodgers targeted as train ticket refund rules are tightened
In a bid to clamp down on ticket fraud that costs the railways millions each year, the government has quietly changed the rules on claiming refunds for unused train tickets.
DON'T BUY TRAIN TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
On 1 April, the government is quietly changing the rules.
Off-Peak & Anytime tickets become non-refundable after 23:59 the day BEFORE you travel.
If you wake up & find your event cancelled, NO REFUNDS, even on Β£100+ tickets.

Stanislav Petrov - Wikipedia
The sole promise of using LLM's in war is to entirely remove a Stanislaw Petrov from the decision chain.
(Oh, remember how LLM's were found to advocate nuclear strikes in 95% of tested scenarios?)

A pay phone bank charger that offers power banks for a Β£1.99 rental sits on the corner of a bar seat plugged into the wall. The plug sockets are exposed and also have USB ports accessible on them.
Got to wonder who is paying to use the chargers?

Odd #Drupal question but why might I have a really large entry in the state key/value table for drupal_js_cache_files in a Drupal 10 site? Everything I see is for Drupal 7, and on 8+ itβs been removed and was called system.js_cache_files anywayβ¦ Assume safe to delete?

I suspect the βConfused By Pronounsβ and βAfraid To Make A Mistakeβ narratives are the gateway drug to full on transphobia and should be challenged whenever you hear them.

They should have made Publisher as part of the base suite. Though a lot of us would just use it for making paper planes.

So for next year Iβm looking to get better, and find more opportunities to practice, rather than just trying to keep a high xp score. Any good tips welcome.

Allowed my Duolingo subscription to lapse.
Although Iβve kept the streak for 2256 days through a combination of Japanese (finished the course), Chess and German. I just donβt feel like I really understood much, it falls apart whenever I try to read or have someone speak Japanese with me.
