An advantage of being a silly gay horse is I can just drink this.

@ljs the aircon was dead despite it being full of people who got the one little coffee to have at least somewhere to sit on this packed train. So it may as well be, it’d probably cool it down now.

@pony are you guys trying to compete with british trains for shitness?
You'll never beat our 'more expensive than hiring a winged horse' element though

@ljs well I paid nothing for this first class (in ticket class, service level bit questionable) trip
The second is packed despite the train having some extras, few of which are some super old carriages with benches instead of seats and, more importantly, max speed of 140 km/h, which is less than the train has scheduled on quite a bit of the route so it’s progressively more and more delayed just because of that.

@pony yeah and for me to get a return to London from here is 40 GBP/day :))
to go 30ish miles. And they run 8 carriage trains when they should be running 12 carriage in the rush hour so you might have to stand the whole way.
Then pay separately for subway...

@ljs I have no idea what is that here, but then, 30 miles commutes via rail are only feasible on like two routes, they may be cheap, but is your life cheap enough to watch wheat fields from a rail bus at 40 km/h for that distance

@ljs sure? One of my tops of all time was a dude who spent the entire trip crying into the phone and repeating they just need to talk and it’s going to be okay again.
We all had cried over a breakup into the phone, right? No crazy there.
The trip was five hours long.

@pony haha what he kept that up for 5 hours?
Fuck yeah I've cried my eyes out over a breakup this is normal. We all have. I even tear up at the end of pan's labyrinth (gets me every god damn time), but not you know. For 5 hours.
Did liquid keep emerging even late on in the journey? You'd think he'd cry himself dry by that point

@ljs sometimes it’s more personal, one time I had a breakup and then just the late afternoon intercity train home
I have liquidated… it, myself, all… with a bottle of vodka.
This guy, oh well. He was strong guy. This is the Eastern Europe. But think of whoever was on the other end. They didn’t hang up.

@pony haha wow, impressive actually.
Yeah, with breakups a lot of things are understandable that wouldn't be usually.
Luckily now happily married, but life can trauma you in other ways...
Tbh the gym helps because it lets you be in your ape brain totally

@pony ah yeah it's really important to recovery properly after illness, don't rush back.

@pony @katka @lkundrak @vbabka you guys have mad uncles.
My uncle did found a company and do all sorts of fun stuff like this and is fluent in Spanish to the point of living in Spain/Mexico/Majorca (but the native bit not the shit Brit holiday bit)
So I guess he's cool too. Also big into Buddhism and err... well you know. DMT

@liskin @pony yeah I mean I exaggerating because I fucking forgot the prices since I don't commute now LOL but on peak it's like at least 26 quid.
And definitely cheaper the other way round...
But it adds up easily in a week/month and you can only get cheaper if you pay for a year at a time, it's all a madness.
Permanent WFH is a huge luxury that I appreciate massively by spending all that money on synths

@liskin @pony most jobs are 'hybrid' though (ugh) and the train companies made absolutely sure you'd be paying the same price whether you come in 2, 3, or 5 days a week.
They did some lol-ish tickets for shorter periods that add up to... err... more expensive than the full season ticket.
Just the worst from top to bottom

@ljs @liskin tried a random route, single-trip single-direction ticket is 100 czk (so 2k for 10 days of trips back and there), offered 10-day ticket is 1450, so that's bit of a discount there (also once you 'activate' it, you can take the trip as many times in the day as you wish, it's not just once there and back, but that's not immensely useful i think)

i went on karosa from pilsen to brno 20y ago. i think it was 7 or 8 hours with scheduled breaks in tabor and jihlava. drinked almost whole bottle of dobra voda while waiting for the bus in the long queue.
when i saw karosa, i realised drinking before departure was not good idea. every stop i evaluated possibilities to pee. i gave up after 1.5h and went to driver and asked him to stop. response was that in tabor is scheduled break and that there are toilets on station.
last minutes before tabor i saw black mist.
even i didn't drinked situation repeated before jihlava.
