  • Not a website, but a 30+MB app that could easily have been replaced with a <10k website...

    To pay for your parking, you have to enter the parking lot number, your cars' tags, and CC data. So far, so good.

    But they also require an email address and a phone number. They want to confirm that email address, and they check whether the number is a valid UK telephone number. And no, you simply cannot enter an international prefix. Which meant that I as a tourist could not pay for the parking lot at the hotel.

  • The first step with bread is grinding the corn. This a basic way to make it edible for the tribe. Have you ever tried to bite on a corn of wheat or rye?

    Mix it with water and cook it to make it softer, and you get a kind of porrige. Leave it warm over night, and you have a sourdough. Rekindle the fire on the next day, and you'll have a proto bread.

    From there to the white bread made with a dozen chemical stabilizers, acid regulators and raising agents as they are sold in the supermarket is just the result of refining the process.

  • So they really hate tourists. Well, it's their tourist industry.

    But it will not be that problematic as they will missing the cheap immigrant labour in the hospitality business. The absence of foreign tourist will compensate for that.

  • You could have learned the lesson from a surprizingly similar flood in Germany a few years ago. Similar sized water, similar height flood, similar loss in people and houses, all caused by similar failures of the bueraucrats.

  • When I watched the crash video, I thought that something cut the fuel off. Because that was the most likely reason for all engines to stop.

    So, if the pilot or copilot did not do it (I assume it is not just a switch that you can trigger accidentally), what other system has the capability to switch off all fuel lines? Fire suppression systems? Some general "switch off"? And how hard would it be to restart fuel supply? Is it possible to override e.g. such a fire suppression system?
