I've run lots of gene therapy trials, lots of countries are very tight about allowing in transgenic organisms that can pass on those genes. it would be very funny if this kid is unable to leave the US.

The Swiss railway system is pretty awesome, it does get quite a lot of public investment but you kinda get what you pay for. The country is pretty good at managing this kind of public company and avoiding fuckers coming in and asset-stripping.

A neat thing is that you can pay 170 CHF for a railcard and it makes all trains half price, it’s an effective way of making trains cheap for residents but also gouging tourists. The trains go pretty much everywhere in the country and they’re nice if unflashy, clean and safe, reliable. Good poo poo.

I can also get a train from my home city straight to Paris or Milan in about 3 hours, it is a very nice way to get around for these mid-distance journeys. I normally fly to get back to the UK though.

I found this article comparing European train systems https://www.bcg.com/publications/2017/transportation-travel-tourism-2017-european-railway-performance-index

I live in SLO and the reverse trip is loving miserable, every single station is a stop, 45min wait at santa barbara, and whoops look like you're 15 minutes off here's a freight priority and the siding has no phone service

last time was something like 9.5 hours to irvine

I dunno where SLO is but I took the train from San Diego to LA last year, it was quite pretty and nice looking out at the Pacific. But the experience was generally very slooooow and the train did just stop randomly for half an hour.

I told colleagues I was taking the train and they pulled a bit of a :chloe: face

i would simply uninstall an app called “interactive brokers” because what the everloving gently caress

what? it's the largest online brokerage company. not that it isn't stupid, that's my point, but this is one of the only ways to make investments without paying a ton of money, especially if you're ex-US.

same as with the matrix, when I saw pulp fiction in the cinema I had no idea what it was about. that was quite an experience, apparently it was released in the UK in 1994 so I would have been pretty young at the time.

semi-cross posting from the hellworld thread: it's the 3rd worst stock on CNN's "markets" page. it ended the week down 10.42%, unfortunately intel and palantir slightly edged it out by topping 11%

the only one in the green is ford. it ended up 0.42%, or $0.04 lol

while I'd love it to be the actual worst, if it has to be beaten I'm OK with that being by Palantir
