Why am I going to Ostrava? To cause @ljs some massive FOMO, of course!

@vbabka PROC TO MY HEART!

@ljs walking instead of taking the trololobus turned out a bit adventurous (as befits Ostrava) but here we are.

@vbabka living the dream son

@vbabka @ljs had @oleksandr been there, he'd just push the trolleybus

@vbabka @ljs @lkundrak is this some Ostrava gym replacement or what?

@oleksandr @vbabka @ljs yeah, lorenzo, go push that trolley bus! GAINZ!!!

@lkundrak @oleksandr @vbabka wait gainz? YES I WILL SIR

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka +TROLLEYBUS PUSHERS
+M: Lorenzo
+M: Oleksandr

@lkundrak @oleksandr @vbabka no Oleksandr is an R:

He watches and judges

@lkundrak @ljs @oleksandr this is not Brno so no pushing necessary

@vbabka @lkundrak @oleksandr oh you pull instead?

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka he'll send a pull request
To: Lorenzo
Cc: Oleksandr

@ljs @lkundrak @oleksandr I've had Ostravar already, halp

@vbabka @lkundrak @oleksandr I enjoy seeing your mind degrade the longer you are in the evil city of joy

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka looking forward to the news of a 3am brawl at stodolni

@lkundrak @oleksandr @vbabka will... m*** be involved??

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka totally. to be clear, not mdma. the other one!
and testosterone, booze, and iq of low 80s

@lkundrak @oleksandr @vbabka yes yes everything I dreamed of!

@lkundrak @vbabka @ljs I'm git push at max, sometimes --force

@ljs @vbabka @lkundrak just in time: https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/obrazem-fotky-policie-na-kazdem-rohu-zebraci-zavrene-bary-drsny-pad-stodolni-250315

@oleksandr @vbabka @lkundrak Wow Vlasta must feel safe!

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka let's keep him in today's prayers 🍷

@lkundrak @oleksandr @vbabka And to whom do we pray? 🍷

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka 🍷

satan.

@oleksandr @ljs @lkundrak yeah so at least the Irish pub there seems fine still

@vbabka @oleksandr @ljs lol i remember from over ten years ago it being the sole place there where the only unreasonable thing has been the prices :)

@vbabka @oleksandr @lkundrak @ljs so I understand you managed to survive the night without getting your drink spiked, sir? Congratulations!

@liskin @oleksandr @ljs @vbabka we, who're not that attractive, view the issue differently
we just feel like we weren't eligible for free rohypnol

@lkundrak @liskin @oleksandr @ljs ah and actually between 1:30 and 3:30 it was actual 🍷 in the hotel lobby.

@vbabka @oleksandr @lkundrak @ljs Hotel lobby 🍷 brings memories. My manager got so drunk once he came to need a new toothbrush at 3am, but wasn't quite able to get it himself from the hotel vending machine. People were obviously eager to help him... get all sorts of other stuff from said vending machine. 🤣

@liskin @oleksandr @lkundrak @ljs also I've observed mornings after Ostravar are much worse than mornings not after Ostravar

@vbabka @oleksandr @liskin @lkundrak @ljs "everything is worse with Ostravar"™

@hny @oleksandr @liskin @lkundrak @ljs @ptesarik also an unsolicited interaction with two locals last night at Stodolní, on of them very big and muscular. A colleague had to employ great diplomatic skills to placate an outrage about him speaking Slovak.

@vbabka @hny @liskin @lkundrak @oleksandr @ptesarik is this better or worse than if you'd run into me?

@ljs @hny @liskin @lkundrak @oleksandr @ptesarik yes

@vbabka @oleksandr @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @ljs Racism is intolerance, and intolerance must not be tolerated. Next time you should bring some actual brave SJWs with you, some who are willing to fight for their cause.

@liskin @oleksandr @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka like @lkundrak ? He's my favourite social media influencer

@ljs and the obligatory outdoor event

@ljs @lkundrak in this picture far in the back you should even be able to see Mordor

@vbabka @lkundrak @ljs there is *white* snow near Ostrava?

Gosh, environmentalism went crazy lately. You can even see thru the air...

#ostrava

@hny @liskin @ljs @lkundrak @oleksandr @ptesarik @pony also a permanent trololobus stop which looks like a temporary one. And a good Czechia railways joke. And finally how I feel after the whole week.

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @hny @ljs that cabinet held with tape
those are truly the work of the devil
because there's glass fibers inside that composite crap they're made of. and after a while the rest of the crap weathers out and if you touch it you'll get little itchy bits of fucking glass everywhere
thoughts and prayers for whoever taped it together

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak @ljs oh these frequent departures

@hny @vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak this is all dream shit. Absolute dream shit.

@ljs

One link for you: https://mastodonczech.cz/@mkyral/112338613500139384

@oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @hny @lkundrak @vbabka

@djasa @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @hny @lkundrak @vbabka I would take this exit, but I'd be driving on the left to honour my home country so I'd have to reverse down

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka Have you ever driven a Fiat Cinquecento by any chance? The visibility through that car was so great you could literally drive it in reverse at full throttle and not worry about crashing or anything.

@ljs @djasa @hny @lkundrak @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @vbabka Also, in completely unrelated news, someone envisaged that car in a variant that could carry two fewer people in exchange for a bicycle: https://crankpunk.com/2022/09/01/zagatos-1992-fiat-bicycle-carrier-dash-stroke-tandem-car-is-just-plain-odd-or-cool/
It was and still is completely genius.

@liskin @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka no but now this is my dream car

@liskin @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka honestly I hear you guys hate cyclists as much as is appropriate, which I appreciate.

Cyclists are so so annoying on the road. You don't cycle do you Tomas? I mean thank god you don't otherwise I'd have to judge you

https://praguebikeblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/are-czech-drivers-worst-in-world.html

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka I've competed in and won alleycat races and I regularly skate through central London at speeds greater than most commuter cyclists travel at, and I play loud music with offensive Czech lyrics while doing so.

I JUDGE MYSELF AS AN ANNOYING CUNT. I don't need other people to judge me any further.

@liskin @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka hm, some have used this word to describe me on occasion...

@liskin

... https://mastodon.social/@carstenfranke/112343590990442566

@oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @ljs @vbabka

@djasa @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @ljs @vbabka Nice marketing.

btw it took me years to actually try the new 500 and I finally did a couple weeks ago and... it's certainly nicer than the last SUV I tried but the dashboard is sooo much worse than that of an Opel Astra or any recent Škoda it's ridiculous

@liskin @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka bro just get a toyota c'mon

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka I've never tried one. I'll try next time I hire a car for something not important. (For important trips I obviously prefer something I know to be good.)

@liskin @oleksandr @pony @djasa @ptesarik @hny @lkundrak @vbabka mate is my word not good enough?

MY WORD IS MY BOND SON

@hny @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak @ljs hm yeah Friday around 11PM and it was faster to walk all the way from the center to the hotel than to wait for a trololobus that would go at least partially in the needed direction.

@hny @vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak @ljs probably goes to a factory with 2 shift schedule

@algebraicterror @hny @vbabka @oleksandr @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak @ljs nah, 112 is a night trolleybus line which is like one departure an hour only during the night (obviously), AE is a play on an "airport express" in ostrava that connects to flights, so like... once a day, lol

@hny @vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @ljs got a fun story from a friend's roommate in prague. fella had a few beers sometime around the end of a spring, fell asleep in a night bus, woke up early in the morning at endstation in some village. he exits the bus, while the driver walks up to the bus stop, and covers the schedule with a poster: "BUS LINE NOT IN SERVICE DURING SUMMER"

@lkundrak @hny @vbabka @oleksandr @ptesarik @liskin @ljs sounds stupid but if you consider the summer school break, maybe it makes some sense ig

@lkundrak @hny @vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin absolute perfect, I'm on the next flight over

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik @liskin @hny @lkundrak @vbabka no need to make excuses young cat, shush your mouth, this is perfection, Czechia is the way and the truth

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @hny @vbabka 🤜 🤛 *kafka bro*

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @liskin @lkundrak @ljs it's named trololobus for a reason.

@vbabka @ljs sus
