like many other places, there is a airport bus in Melbourne as I recall. there is (or was) a train from Melbourne to Canberra too (with a short bus transfer on the Canberra side). it was very difficult to figure out how to buy a ticket for it!

didn't NZ have a decent inter-city train service in the past but no longer does bc cars won out in the end?


I wish it had all the small aircraft not just commercial flights



It has the university trainer airplanes near me.


uh oh!

"This version of Talks.cam will be replaced by 1 July 2026,"


It was originally going to be scrapped by a Web 3.0 app-only proprietary events system, but we did a small campaign inside the university to keep the site on. As far as I know, the changes will now only be on the backend.


this and the recent banksy 'umasking' by major news outlets is sad in our era of huge US governmental crimes and coverups.


as an aside the lore about the "Winchester Mystery House" is all made up hogwash. here is one place where it is debunked:

Seems about right and American: pervert a dead person's reputation and personality into a cartoonish mythological character to fabricate lore for a profitable tourist attraction. Add doors to nowhere and guided tours repeating misinformation, exit through the gift shop.

PS: While I grew up in San Jose, my parents unfortunately took me on that tour once. It looked extremely staged and all about $$$ then and I was a dumb kid. It occupied a plot of land in a very busy area across what is now Santana Row and beside the original hemispherical buildings of the first Century 21 theaters that originally had massive parking lots that extended all the way to Winchester Blvd back when people went to the movies. The parking lot was only eclipsed by the nearby Winchester Drive-In in Campbell. Where Santana Row is at the corner of Stevens Creek and Winchester was the car dealership Courtesy Chevrolet.


it is still a cool house and I enjoy the tour. but I lag back and ignore the guide.



yeah +12 if it had an rss feed


It's the next item on the list I plan to add. Likely will be adding it today.


a consumer phone usually would only have an FM receiver
