26-27 May 1998 - return for a second stint in IT in Germany

Tuesday 26th May 1998

Hello everyone, Welcome to my 25th anniversary revisiting of my time in Europe in Summer 1998.  I worked at a high technology firm on a temporary job assignment, and lived in a shared apartment.  I also had the opportunity to visit some cities like - Cergy Le Haut FR - Nuremberg, Fürth, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (DE) - Scharnitz AT - Prague CZ - Salzburg AT - Berchtesgaden - Fischhausen-Neuhaus near Brecherspitz - Berlin via Fulda and Braunschweig - Frankfurt an der Oder - Slubice PL - Zürich and Chiasso CH - Milano and Bozen IT - Vienna AT - Budapest HU - Zürich (again for Street Parade 1998) - Paris - Lyon

I flew over from San Francisco through New York JFK Terminal 6 (has since been demolished), and back through St. Louis, Missouri.

Here is what I remember from the first day, Tuesday 26 May 1998, and Wednesday 27 May 1998.   Woke up about 5:30 AM, had breakfast and left the house at 6:30 AM, was taken to SFO airport by parents. Checked in luggage about 7:30 AM, said goodbye to parents, went through security in Terminal 1 (Harvey Milk Terminal), listened to The Dog House on KYLD 94.9 FM, heard Elvis Medina (radio_elvis) do a prank call on a man who owed child support payments to his soon to be ex-wife, flew to NYC JFK airport and landed about 1 PM there.

Was a bit worried that the flight would explode as it did in 1996.  I made it across the Atlantic just fine.  

Tuesday 27 May 1998 Before landing, I was able to listen to BBC Radio 1, 97 to 99 FM in the UK.  I heard "La tristessa durera" by Manic Street Preachers.  It would have been around 8 AM Paris time, when the plane would have landed.  I landed at CDG T1, took the underground travellator to customs and baggage claim. Took a shuttle bus as there was no Roissyval constructed yet (was ready by 2008 when I returned), to the RER T1 station.  I bought a Paris Visite ticket for the RER and entire RATP metro, trams and bus, even the Montmartre funicular. Took the RER from CDG T1 to Paris Gare du Nord.  At Sevran Beaudottes, the station is underground as well as CDG T2/TGV and Gare du Nord, most others were surface stations.  At Gare du Nord, the ticket was used to change to the M5, where I rode it to République, then M8 to Lédru Rollin where the Auberge Internationale des Jeunes was located, in the 11ème district.

Dropped off my luggage, then took the M8 to Nation, changed to a M9 for Croix de Chavaux.  Took a bus to Gallieni.  Took the M3 to see the Georges Pompidou building and the Stravinsky fountains.  Took metro to Montmartre (Metro station Anvers) and went up the funicular.  Came back and took the M2 from Anvers to Jaurès to ride the 7Bis metro line.  The 7Bis at the time used MF88s, quite unique for a metro.  The most advanced rolling stock was MP89, used mostly on the M1, which still had drivers long before it was automated.  Came back to Louis Blanc to ride the M7 to Opéra / Auber for the RER.  A woman was shouting on the southbound platform of the Louis Blanc M7, could not understand what she was shouting about.  I took the RER to Port Maillote, then a RER C to Champ De Mars and another RER C to Issy Val De Seine.

At Issy Val De Seine, I took a T2 the entire distance to La Défense.  The T2 was built on former Banlieu commuter rail tracks.  The only underground station was La Défense.  I exited, and looked around the complex including the Grande Arche.  The weather was not very good.  I went inside the Les Quartre Temps mall and looked for something to buy in the Auchan grocery store. I found some drinks but not much else.  

After La Defense, I took the RER A to Cergy Le Haut.  The previous year, I rode to Cergy St. Christophe, which was quite a long way from Paris.  In early October 1983, my family stayed close to the Cergy Préfecture station, so I kind of knew where I was going more or less.  One thing I noticed at Cergy Le Haut, was that there were no fare gates, unlike at other stations.  The weather was a bit friendlier by the time I visited Cergy Le Haut.

I returned to the 11ème district and looked for a place to eat supper.  I ate at Tony's Restaurant at the corner of Rue Trousseau and Rue du Faubourg.  It has since been renamed to Nakama Resto.  The owner gave me a free glass of tomato juice, with a small amount of vodka.  I think I had a four seasons pizza called "quattro stagioni", was really good.

I went to bed about 10 PM, and had to wake up in time to catch the "Mozart" Eurocity train to Munich.  More will be told in the next chapter.

Good night!  Bonne nuit!

Analysis of Charles and Edwin's friendship/love: a thread #DeadBoyDetectives

1/ Right from the start, it's clear that they've known each other for a long time. They know each other, they know how to react and how the other will react, and beyond that, they're really complementary, which we can see from the very first scenes of the series, particularly in their different approaches (mental for Edwin and physical for Charles) to solving a case.

2/ Later, in this same first episode, we also discover their complementary way of being. Edwin is fussy, organised, cold and thinks a lot before doing anything, and can even be described as "uptight". On the other hand, Edwin is much more spontaneous, unthinking, funny and cheerful (at least at the time, that's what we see of him).

3/We also immediately see the attachment they feel for each other. From the very first minutes, they both express their desire to stay together, hiding from death so as not to be separated. What's more, Charles' instinct to protect Edwin is immense throughout the series. Whether it's the Cat King's attitude towards him or the boxing training he undergoes to learn how to defend himself.

4/ Still in this first episode, we have the arrival of an element that will upset this balance, Crystal. Charles, unlike Edwin, likes her quite quickly, but we begin to see that the relationship between the two becomes a little strained by a difference of opinion about whether Crystal is welcome or not. After 30 years of just the two of them, it's understandable that Edwin seems to be jealous of Crystal, who has Charles' undivided attention. But then again, you might think it's just friendly jealousy, or maybe just a lack of familiarity with a third person on their team.

5/ It's in episode 2 that we realise (in a way, at the same time as Edwin) that this isn't just friendly jealousy but something deeper than that. The arrival of the Cat King shows Edwin something he didn't want to see, his romantic love for Charles. This creates a real rift in their relationship. Edwin becomes hateful to Crystal and Charles can't understand why Edwin is so strange and refuses to talk to him about what's bothering him. For his part, Edwin is kind of hurt by how nice it is for him to have someone new their age (and alive too).

6/In episode 3, this is further emphasised by Crystal and Charles talking in front of Edwin and Niko about how much they like each other and how much further they could go together without any problems. For Edwin, this reinforces the rift between him and Charles by his desire to have a relationship with Crystal, but also by Edwin's inexperienced/"uptight" side, as he realises that he's not on the same wavelength as Charles, who thought he was. (Still in friendship, I mean, they never seem to have talked about it).

7/ In this episode, the crack in their relationship almost reaches its climax. We discover Charles' violent past with his father. Charles is going through hell with this violent father who slaughters his family over and over again. At this point, Edwin discovers another side of Charles that he didn't know before, and at the same time realises that Charles would rather talk to Crystal than him about it. But for all that, Edwin still loves Charles, and it's this paradoxical feeling that will trouble him enormously over the next few episodes. He sees both his best friend of 30 years, whom he knows by heart, and he discovers a complete stranger in this episode.

7bis/ It's worth noting Charles's great distrust of Monty from the start, which could be akin to a feeling of rejection of his best friend with a friend he doesn't know and doesn't really like at first.

8/ This paradoxical aspect of knowing Charles and at the same time not knowing him is once again supported in the fourth episode. First of all, Edwin plucks up the courage to talk to Charles, explaining that if he needs to talk, he's there for him. Charles politely refuses. Edwin feels a fracture again, understanding that Charles doesn't feel the need to discuss it with him. However, he is still very disturbed by his new feelings for Charles, looking at him intently for several seconds.

9/ As a viewer, in this episode we learn even more about the circumstances of Charles' death and his behaviour. But for Edwin, it's all the same: he discovers a violent Charles who even sends someone into the belly of a fish to protect him and Edwin. However, Charles doesn't seem to realise how extreme his actions are, once again coming into conflict with Edwin.

10/ At the end of this episode, we witness a heartbreaking scene in which Charles finally expresses himself. He explodes with sadness as he explains that he didn't feel ready to die, that he hates the fact that he's dead and that he's keeping a smile on his face because Edwin isn't the positive type and prefers to react cheerfully to everything to balance things out and keep his spirits up. Edwin falls flat on his face, hurt by Charles's words. But Charles continues, this time on another subject, the fact that he's good for nothing, pointing out that he can't reassure Edwin about what's happening to him. This shows us that the situation doesn't suit Charles at all either. Up until now, we've seen him detached from it all, occasionally trying to find out what's bothering Edwin but not seeming to be hurt that he's not responding. In truth, he's just as hurt by Edwin's silence as Edwin is by his own. At the end of this scene, he even rejects Edwin's reassuring hand, showing once again the chasm that has been created between them. At the end of the episode, Edwin again reminds Charles who can talk to him, Charles nods and heads off to Crystal's room. I find this scene quite striking. The 2 characters are pitted against each other and end up in opposite rooms. This can be seen as a reminder of the characters' estrangement from the beginning.

11/ At this point, the two find themselves in a new situation with new people in their team and a misunderstanding between the two of them that disturbs them enormously and which really reaches its climax in this episode (in my opinion).

12/ However, in the following episode, we notice a desire on the part of the 2 friends to get closer again, finding themselves once more in a case they know and can handle as usual. On the one hand we have Charles telling him that he kissed Crystal, which is a bit disturbing for Edwin but we can see that he's still trying to get interested, but he still manages to come back to the fact that Charles doesn't like being dead. Charles realises at this point that Edwin was really hurt by his words and that he was still thinking about it. So he reassures him, explaining that he was very angry and that if he's going to be dead, he's delighted it's going to be with him, his best friend. Edwin feels better after these words and things seem to be slowly returning to normal.

13/ Things continue to be positive for both boys as, at the end of the episode, Charles finally confides in Edwin about his desire to be a good person, not to be like his father and his distress at the anger he's been feeling all the time lately. Once again, Edwin reassures him that he's not a bad person. The scene ends with a hug, which seems to please Edwin but also upsets him a little.

14/ We finally understand at the end of the episode that Edwin has finally accepted his feelings for Charles and so he explains to Monty how he feels. This episode is a sign of renewal in their relationship. After a long, dark period when the two couldn't understand or get along with each other, here the two protagonists finally talk to each other and accept their feelings. They also accept themselves. It's a really lovely episode where you get the feeling that things are finally going to work out.

15/ In episode 6, there isn't much to say about the relationship between the two, with the stories focusing instead on Monty and Crystal and David. However, we still get a nice show of love and protection from Charles for Edwin when they're both caught by Teeth Face and, faced with the possibility of their demise, Charles puts his hand on Edwin's as encouragement. This is a particularly beautiful scene too, as we can see that Charles is frightened by the idea of disappearing, but at this point he prefers to be reassuring with Edwin rather than lamenting. We can assume that, for Charles, Edwin will always come first whatever the circumstances, which makes us wonder about the nature of the love Charles feels for Edwin.

16/ So at the end of episode 6, we had Edwin being dragged back to Hell by a creature, leaving Charles totally helpless and distraught. Within minutes of this happening, we see a Charles determined to find a way to get Edwin back to him. Once again, he thinks no further than that, by which time he is already sure to be going to Hell to look for Edwin. Finding no other solution, he even agrees to the Night Nurse's deal, obliging them to return to her once he's managed to find Edwin. At this point, he prefers to leave his "life" on Earth and go to the Beyond if it means having Edwin by his side.

17/ At the same time, we discover the true circumstances of Charles's death and his meeting with Edwin. And so we understand why they are so close. In both cases, they were the first people to meet in their new "lives". Charles is dying and has learnt a lot about death from Edwin, and Edwin has just escaped from hell and discovers a Charles who is about to go through the same stage as him: dying by someone else's hand without ever having asked for anything. However, what really stands out for me is Charles' trust in Edwin from the outset. He asks no questions and seems at ease with him even though he doesn't know him. Edwin is the same: he's not frightened, he's happy to spend the last moments of Charles's life by his side, and he naturally confides in him that he's a ghost. Right from the start, he seems connected by something, without knowing what would happen next, they both trusted each other in a situation where they should no longer trust others because of their past. This trust has evolved into a totally natural, fusional relationship that makes them, in my opinion, true soul mates.

18/ And it's clear from the start that they love each other beyond measure. Even though they don't seem to realise the extent of their relationship and how lucky they are to know each other in death, they would do anything for each other without hesitation.

19/ Charles's arrival in Hell shows us how determined he is to find Edwin. As he passes through the different rooms, he doesn't understand what Edwin has been through. It's only when he reaches him that he realises what his best mate went through during those 70 years in Hell. When he finds him, he immediately tries to reassure her, using a series of gentle gestures towards Edwin. You can see in his eyes how relieved he is to have found him. But Edwin is both delighted to see him and panicked. First, he's afraid for Charles, he doesn't want him to get hurt or trapped in his own Hell, especially if he's coming to save him. Secondly, Edwin felt very vulnerable. He'd never told Charles about what he'd been through in Hell, and he has to show Charles a part of himself that he wouldn't have wanted him to see. Charles is obviously very worried about Edwin when he finds out what he's been through, but here he's acting as a guide to help him escape. He relies on him completely, not having the strength to do it on his own.

20/ Towards the end of Hell, Edwin finally manages to express his love for Charles, even though Charles doesn't really seem to listen or understand him at first, replying that he loves him too but without conviction. Even though he is completely honest in his words, he doesn't respond at all to Edwin's love for him. It's when he finally understands that he makes a speech that I find incredible for Edwin. In my opinion, this speech doesn't close any doors and Charles doesn't even seem to think about what he's saying, pouring out his words as if they were completely natural. He tells him that he loves him very much, admittedly not in the same way that Edwin loves him, but enough to go to Hell for him, which he wouldn't have done for anyone else. And above all, he tells him at the end that they have all eternity to work out their relationship. For me, with these words, Charles doesn't close the door at all to a possible relationship with Edwin, even explaining to him that they'll have time to understand the nature of their relationship. It also shows us that even Charles is aware that they have a strong bond and that he may already be wondering about the nature of their relationship with Edwin. For the moment, he doesn't feel the same love as Edwin, but he loves him like he loves no-one else and he leaves the door open to their relationship. Frankly, I can see why Edwin is happy with this answer, which I think is the best answer he could have given her in return. I find it really perfect and full of love. To conclude this episode, we even get Charles reassuring Edwin one last time that his revelation hasn't upset him and he even responds with an honesty and a smile that can raise a lot of questions.

21/ In the final episode, we find them both much more at peace with a relationship that never seems to have been so positive. However, this is short-lived as Esther puts her plan into action and goes to find the 2 ghosts to take them home. During all the moments when Edwin is suffering and being tortured by Esther, we see Charles being totally helpless and he is extremely worried about Edwin. It's not as strong as it should have been, but you can see it in the few scenes. Charles is subjected to a kind of psychological torture that prevents him from intervening to save his soulmate, and he can only listen to Edwin's cries of pain. When it's all over and after SPOILER's death, we see him once again being the rock, pulling Edwin and Crystal out of the house so that they don't get swept away by Death.

22/ Towards the end of the episode, we have a final discussion between Edwin and the Cat King. Edwin seems much more at peace with himself than he has ever been. He's done some real soul-searching about his resemblance to the Cat King, realising that he's finally accepting himself and his feelings. You can tell from his speech that he knows he is no longer alone and never will be again.

23/ At the end of the episode, after their near dismissal, we know that he's once again worried about Edwin's fate, reminding us that he's there because of a mistake. Eventually it all works out and they're very reassured for each other by the end of the episode. I think that at this point, their relationship is healthy, they no longer have any secrets from each other and it can only get better. At this point, they're in tune and they seem to want to move forward together in their "new death", away from their fugitive lives and happy to be together.

24/ I'll just conclude this thread by expressing my love for these 2 characters, because for me, their relationship is so beautiful but at the same time, so complex. That's honestly my favourite thing about TV shows, the relationships between the characters, and sometimes I struggle to be truly satisfied with the way the characters are treated. But in this show, in my opinion, it's flawless. Every character reacts as they should and that's why I'd really like to see this series renewed for a 2nd season at least.

John Wick 4: Good movie. Great movie if you liked 1-3. Have more thoughts about it but that's for tomorrow. For now:

That's not a Japanese subway train, that's a PATH train, the independent subway-like system that runs from New Jersey to New York, with some stickers on it. John Wick 1 also had scenes shot on the PATH, including quite possibly some in the same station.

The French metro train is an MF 67, the oldest still in regular use on the network. The station they shot in, Porte des Lilas (as seen from the signs on the walls), is the general movie shooting station in Paris, but you can run normal trains through it, due to… honestly I don't have time to go into the 3bis and 7bis today, ask me again tomorrow.

The bus at the Arc de Triomphe is a Mercedes Benz Citaro (second generation), and yes, I'm fairly certain it's just the same one going around in circles. However, in at least one shot, there's a Solaris Urbino instead. In the scene where John gets almost run over by the bus, I think they switch from the Citaro to the Urbino between shots in the same scene, but I'm not 100% certain about that.

I don't think Paris has that kind of underground sewer but I'm definitely going to set a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic there now. Honestly the whole John Wick world would be a glorious and hilarious setting for an ML fanfic.

John could have saved so much trouble if he had just taken the damn funicular up Montmartre

The depiction of Japan and France in this movie is highly stereotypical (Japan arguably even more so). Berlin, however, is 100% accurate, that's exactly how the people there act.

Monday Metro… Place des Fetes (District 19 - Line 11 & 7bis - Exit Place des Fetes)

Not a neighbourhood I often wander around but when I saw that there might be a few metro stations that were interesting I jumped to the occasion to go explore.

The line 11 station, which went into service in 1935, was designed from the outset as a prototype anti-aircraft shelter that was totally impervious to combat gases. Another station, Maison Blanche, was also transformed on the same model of anti-aircraft shelter, notably because of its great depth.

With the arrival of line 11 at the Place des Fêtes station, which was proclaimed to be "modern", the Compagnie du Métropolitain de Paris (CMP) had to build an entrance in harmony with its pretensions. This reinforced concrete building is a model of its kind. Its architecture is unique, it was designed to protect the accesses in case of bombing. The structure rests on a wall that separates the entrance and exit flows. It is covered by a triangular canopy and the word "metro", inscribed vertically under the pediment, is made in cut-out letters on a red background.

This access now houses a vertiginous escalator because the track is 27 meters below ground level. With its 256 steps, it is in fact the largest escalator in the RATP network. (source)

Si attendono oltre centomila persone al Cersaie 2024

Inizia oggi il salone della ceramica e dell’arredobagno.  Cersaie, il salone internazionale della ceramica Giunto alla 41esima edizione, in occasione del salone internazionale della ceramica, alla fiera di Bologna da oggi, 23 settembre, a venerdì 27 settembre arriveranno oltre centomila persone. In quindici padiglioni, per 145mila metri quadrati di superficie espositiva, saranno presenti 606 espositori provenienti da 25 nazioni, il 38% dei quali stranieri. Per i cinque giorni della manifestazione, aziende da tutto il mondo incontreranno i professionisti del mondo del design e progettazione e sveleranno in anteprima le future tendenze e soluzioni innovative nel campo delle superfici, dell’arredobagno e delle finiture per lo spazio architettonico. Una novità sarà la riapertura del padiglione 18, che coi padiglioni 16, 25, 26, 29, 30, 36 e 37 ospiterà aziende produttrici del settore ceramico. ‘The Square’, al Centro Servizi, sarà il cuore pulsante della fiera, uno spazio ispirato ai portici di Bologna che ospiterà convegni, conferenze, una stazione radio live, un maxischermo dedicato al concorso internazionale di architettura ‘Tile Competition’, oltre alla lounge per i visitatori. Le modifiche alla viabilità Per gestire al meglio l’impatto che il salone Cersaie avrà sul traffico cittadino il Comune di Bologna anche quest’anno ha istituito alcune modifiche alla viabilità, a partire dalla chiusura dell’uscita 8 della tangenziale in direzione centro nelle ore di punta (dalle 8.30 alle 10.30 e dalle 17 alle 19). E nei giorni della manifestazione a partire dalle 15.30 saranno aperti quattro varchi di accesso all’autostrada al casello Bologna Fiera. Inoltre sarà introdotto il divieto di transito e sosta in piazza della Costituzione per i veicoli privati e i pullman turistici. Potranno accedere alla piazza esclusivamente bus di linea e taxi e ad altri autorizzati dall'ordinanza. Sarà in vigore anche un divieto di sosta ai pullman turistici e alle navette bus in via Stalingrado, da piazza della Costituzione fino agli svincoli della tangenziale 7/7bis, in entrambi i sensi di marcia. Un'eccezione sarà fatta per i pullman turistici che effettuano il servizio di trasporto dagli alberghi cittadini che devono rendersi riconoscibili con l'apposito contrassegno identificativo: la sosta in via Felicori sarà concessa per il tempo strettamente necessario alle operazioni di carico e scarico passeggeri. Per limitare il flusso veicolare in viale Aldo Moro, i veicoli che da via Michelino si immetteranno in viale Europa, avranno l'obbligo di svolta a destra, eccetto i bus di linea Tper e taxi, mentre i veicoli che da via della Repubblica si immetteranno in viale Aldo Moro, avranno l'obbligo di svolta a destra, eccetto i taxi. Linee dei bus potenziate e le navette gratuite Le linee 28 e 35 garantiranno il trasporto fino alle 20.30 con una maggiore frequenza: un autobus ogni 5 minuti circa. Questi servizi verranno affiancati dai bus navetta NCC che condurrà i passeggeri già in possesso del biglietto per il Cersaie dall'Aeroporto alla Fiera. Questo servizio verrà attivato grazie all'iniziativa di Bolognafiere e Bologna Welcome. Sarà inoltre reso disponibile il parcheggio nell'area del Parco Nord e la relativa navetta Tper 947 di collegamento con l'ingresso Michelino, al fine di agevolare la sosta dei visitatori. Attenzione allo sciopero dei taxi E’ stato confermato per oggi, 23 settembre, dalle 8 alle 22 lo sciopero dei taxi e questo complicherà ulteriormente la situazione del traffico cittadino. Le associazioni di categoria (Confartigianato Taxi, Cna Fita Taxi, Uiltrasporti, Unica Taxi Cgil e Uritaxi) lanciano così il loro grido di protesta riguardo al valore delle licenze, al miglioramento del servizio e ai problemi di viabilità. "Il Comune ha deciso di emettere nuovi titoli con un valore variabile tra i 90 e i 150mila euro. Tuttavia, il decreto Asset specificava che un Comune, per intervenire sull’organico in base a questo decreto, avrebbe dovuto applicare i valori medi di riferimento delle compravendite di attività taxi sul territorio. Questo valore medio era stato stimato dal Comune stesso in 217.000 euro", dopo aver consultato l’Agenzia delle entrate. Inoltre, riguardo alle tariffe, l’ultimo adeguamento "risale al 2018, mentre i costi d’esercizio sono aumentati di oltre il 20%. Il processo di aggiornamento delle tariffe, avviato nel 2022, doveva essere concluso entro marzo 2023". In ogni caso per i giorni del Cersaie è stata realizzata una nuova corsia preferenziale in via Donato Creti per agevolare l'efficienza di questo servizio. La corsia sarà presidiata dalla Polizia Locale nelle fasce orario 8.30-10.30 e 17-19. Read the full article

Duplice omicidio a Orta di Atella: uccisi due uomini, fermato l'assassino Duplice omicidio in strada ad Orta di Atella, nel Casertano. L'agguato è scattato poco prima delle 14 nei pressi dell'uscita Succivo della strada statale 7bis. Le vittime sono i fratelli Marco e Claudio Marrandino, 40 e 29 anni, entrambi incensurati, di buona famiglia e non ritenuti collegati agli ambienti dei clan. Poche ore dopo i carabinieri della compagnia di Marcianise hanno fermato un operaio di 53 anni ritenuto l'autore del delitto. Secondo i primi accertamenti, l'uomo era a bordo della sua auto e le due vittime nella loro Bmw. Entrambe le vetture erano ferme e sembra che i tre stessero litigando quando l'operaio, incensurato, ha estratto una pistola e ha fatto fuoco uccidendo i due fratelli. A scoprire i corpi è stata una pattuglia dei carabinieri che è passata in zona. Molti noti a Cesa, Marco Marrandino era un avvocato ed aveva ricoperto anche il ruolo di presidente del consiglio comunale dal 2012 al 2015 con il sindaco Cesario Liguori, mentre suo fratello minore Claudio era un imprenditore edile molto noto nel settore.

Química sobrenatural - 7bis

(Parte 15 de 18)

¿Es posible la unión de dos seres sobrenaturales de naturaleza contraria? ¿Sería factible tal amor sin que por ello se modificara un ápice sus caracteres originales? Eso es lo que sucede en esta historia. 

Seres fabulosos como son ángeles y demonios, enfrascados en una lucha eterna sin fin ni objetivos excepto la destrucción absoluta del otro. ¿Cómo podría ocurrir la formación de un vinculo más allá del odio y la repulsión?

A medio camino entre la narración y el ensayo, todo es cuestión de quimica; de la química sobrenatural.

最近聽同事八卦才知道，原來之前有女同事，會一直問我假日在幹嘛，是要我去追她。 我還以為，她是要噹我們部門的 performance，嗆一些 "進度這樣假日還不趕工" 的幹話。 可惜的是，女同事後來離職了，她也不是要嗆我們的進度 ... 不然我就可以拿人月神話來電爆她了！哎呀可惜。

EN DIRECT - Grève du 19 janvier : les transports perturbés en Île-de-France

Les Franciliens devront adapter leurs déplacements ce jeudi. Le trafic sera fortement perturbé sur l’ensemble du réseau RATP Île-de-France Mobilités. Le trafic est totalement interrompu tout au long de la journée sur les lignes 8, 10 et 11. Sur les lignes 2, 3, 3bis, 5, 6, 7, 7bis, 9, 12 et 13, les métros circuleront uniquement aux heures de pointe pour certains, et partiellement pour…

the stuff in here is hilarious btw.

you may not include obscene content in your Licensed Works, or engage in such conduct (i am not super legally savvy so i am unsure but like. without any further caveats doesnt that just apply to all ‘conduct’ and not exclusively conduct relating to your use of the license??), we have the sole right to decide what conduct or content violates this, and you covenant that you will not contest any such determination via legal action. (later on, in 7bi) we can immediately terminate your license if you violate Section 6(f)

you should use this license to sell products for money and make a career out of that btw

Ok interesting, Wizards of the Coast has released a draft of the next version of the OGL (rebranded as 1.2)

It looks like they've realised that people are noticing game mechanics can't be copyrighted and decided put the basic rules under CC-BY to placate them, and then the rest of the SRD is under the OGL.

Having two different licences for different parts of the document is going to confuse people.

I know you were all wondering in the new John Wick 4 trailer: Which is the Paris Metro station where John Wick comes to Lawrence Fishburn, hobo king of the New York Bowery and also apparently the 19th Arrondissement of Paris, to ask for hobo favours, perhaps in exchange for ornate pendants or pirate coins?

Based on the partial sign, I’d say this is Porte des Lilas. This major interchange station is unique, because the shuttle line 3bis, which terminates there, has two stations of historic reasons: There is one is actually used, which is a terminal station with a tight loop at the end, a fairly common pattern in Paris; and then there is one that was used for shuttle trains running between here and a station just slightly north. The original plan was to run trains through from the 3bis lines to the 7bis (then just branches of the 3 and 7 respectively, before they became their own lines), but that never really happened. There is talk of that happening after all some day, eventually, but it doesn’t seem to be high on anyone’s priority list, considering that it’s been on the backburner since 1935.

But what this means is that there’s an unused, fully fitted out metro station there that is not used by any trains, and the operator, RATP, does the only logical thing: They rent it out for movies. Known as “Porte des Lilas - Cinéma”, this station has been used for a lot of movies, sometimes redecorated, sometimes under its own name. John Wick appears to be a case of the latter.
