Rail is _required_ below Vyšehrad, or else Prague's transport gets severely crippled.

Now the corridor desperately needs a third rail. The main question right now is whether to:

  • upgrade the bridge, whose longetivity is dubious (studies vary wildly by how much needs to be replaced within 20 years), or
  • dismantle and move the bridge to a place where a cycle/pedestrian one is needed and build a similar-looking but modern one, which would easily last over 100 more years. This is potentially more expensive and UNESCO doesn't like the panorama to be messed with.

Right haptics connector receptacle.

You can repair it by soldering the wires: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1et2pxh/learned_how_to_solder_and_repaired_my_broken/

The connector receptacle can be bought separately, it's a standard one, probably Pico EZmate. Measure whether the pitch is 1.0 or 1.27 mm so you have the correct one.

Too bad his non-populist successor Fiala came during the Covid crisis and a recession, and despite his great effort to tackle both we're likely to see a "Trump-Biden-Trump" situation in this year's parliamentary elections.

Earlier this year, a train also derailed near Bečva and hundreds of tons of benzene were spilled or burned. It is the biggest benzene disaster to date, and will take an ungodly amount of effort to clean up.

Neither does Russia

And in my country, we're expecting a Babiš-Fiala-Babiš PM situation akin to Trump-Biden-Trump in the US because of the post-Covid recession. At least Babiš didn't become president in 2023.

Here is a corrected transcript (mostly just added missing apostrophes). Feel free to correct the post.

Some wise advice circulating: 

1. Don't use his name. 
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone. 
3. Do not argue with those who support him - it doesn't work and it makes them feel important. It makes them feel they've won something. 
4. Focus on his policies. Do not focus on his personality traits, his physical appearance, or his mental state. 
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow. 
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk. The numbers don't lie, there are more of 'us' than there are of them. Feel that support. 
7. Support artists and the arts.
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Fact check it. 
9. Take care of yourselves. 
10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight! Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor." 
11. When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration". This will have several effects: the legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of  attention he craves. His representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.

Italy probably has a different culture. Maybe it will work there, or they'll learn the hard way.

Yes, it will hurt in the medium term because of the ratio of economically active ones, but overpopulation is bad in the long term.

Czech Republic has been compensating low birth rates with immigration. Maybe the factors that cause few people to migrate to Serbia are larger contributors to the "suck" you've been talking about.

I wonder if they're really that stupid to give up this super-efficient means of soft power over some progressive things they've done or intentionally handing influence in parts of the world to Russia for a bit of money for themselves while taking a calculated risk of maybe having to retake control militarily (which is more costly but could be a problem for the next admin).

In terms of British transport fonts, nothing beats Johnston but that already has its place on the Tube. This one is a good silver medalist.

I think it would be alright in uppercase. The problem is that lowercase height is barely above half of uppercase, as opposed to most display fonts.

Universal Grotesk. Still in use in Slovakia.

What is your opinion on lowercase/uppercase and closest/farthest at the top?

An item on my bucket list has been to create a map with "gradients" (really just 1-minute rectsngular bands) of what time the high noon is in that location. This map is just a subset of that, coloring red the areas with an over-30-minute offset. I'd make one for January and one for July to account for DST on both hemispheres.

I'll probably convert a publicly available timezone shapefile into a Plate Carée (or similar) projection SVG, create a "gradient" spanning the entire globe and then use it as texture for the SVG shapes, horizontally offset appropriately.

My home Epson printer supports paper as long as 1117.6 mm (44.0 in) out of the box so it can print a shorter one in color. Maybe some models have firmware hacks to disable paper feed between pages, enabling continuous printing.

Why "/s"? He literally did that. If you're using it to sail across the river, it does not matter what its overall shape is - you can't get lost anyway but it will help to know about amenities ashore.

Surprisingly many printers with manual feed options support meter-long sizes or more so it's feasible to print it cheaply in color too (using receipt paper for the rarer dot-matrix printers).
