  1. I see that a new company is trying to introduce sleeper buses… overnight buses with full flat beds.. into Europe.At the moment they are operating Amsterdam to Zurich but want to progressively introduce new routes.

    They’re not particularly cheap, minimum fare is around 150 Swiss Francs,one way.But of course they save you a night’s accommodation.. you leave early evening and arrive early morning.

    What do you think? Would you consider one of those instead of flying or taking the train? They are quite popular in some parts of Asia and South America.

  2. I just got myself a 3d printer on a 25% off deal. I’m both excited and low-key terrified of having to actually figure things out. It will mainly be used for tabletop minis (such as for dnd) and terrain, but who knows. I have heard that 3d printing can become a hobby in its own right, and I simply don’t have the space to keep everything if I fall down into the rabbit hole of that as a hobby. Wish me luck

  3. If you are feeling a bit uninspired today, [have a look at some beautiful photography by Mikko Lagerstedt.](https://www.deviantart.com/mikkolagerstedt/gallery) It’s never a bad idea.

    Yesterday on the train two people were talking about their travels to Japan. One of them said “it was lovely and everything but it’s so mainstream now. Everyone’s going to Japan.” I mean, I guess? But people go there for a reason. I don’t know what’s this obsession with trying to avoid the mainstream. What does it even matter? Do you enjoy it or not? If you enjoy it, then it’s a good thing to do.

    Maybe we should go to North Korea instead.

  4. I haven’t bought weed in a decade. Back then it was 20€/g here. I just learnt that it apparently still is 20€/g. Why is weed inflation proof? I mean, the ECB aims for 2% annual inflation. Even with just that you’d surely expect for it to be about 25€ by now, but there also was those high inflation Covid years. >!I’m not going to actually do the math I’m just guessing.!<

    Somebody needs to give all the potheads and small time crooks a class in economics.
