2/2 The SGR will then continue west for a further 107km to the border with Uganda at #Malaba where it will join the under-construction Ugandan SGR to Kampala.

1/2 [Kenyan] President, William Samoei #Ruto, attended the launch of the next phase of #construction of #Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) on March 19. Involving 264km of new construction, the line will be extended from #Naivasha, northwest of #Nairobi, westwards to #Kisumu, where an 8.7km branch line is planned to the new Kisumu Port.

@jon On one of our high school trips we visited #France and were always giggling when we saw "sauf bus", which roughly translates to "drinking bus" in #German. Since we travelled by bus, we figured that this should be taken as an order 😉

True, I also prefer the art style over the remakes! They were fun to play again, though.

I wishlisted it and only bought it some weeks back - shame on me 😉

@grooovinger @grumpygamer

Hehe, true, and don't forget the demon pepper when cooking... 😉

I finally managed to play @grumpygamer's Return to Monkey Island. Great #game, I must say. Specifically the dialogues and their wit were a blast.

I also enjoyed the graphic style alot, which draw some criticism by fans when the first screenshots were released. To me, it does feel like #MonkeyIsland, but in a fresh look.

The hint book is a nice addition. IMHO that is a nice way to bring good old point and click #adventures to the modern, fast paced #world.

Siemens Mobility has conducted the Nordic’s first-ever automated train operation on an ETCS-equipped mainline.

A demonstration was recently held on the 19-kilometre-long route between #Juurikorpi and #Hamina in #Finland, showcasing the integration of Automatic Train Operation with the European Train Control System Level 2.

@ericphelps Hehe, true, I did not even realise that. Bridge-ception 😉

An image from today's hike: a railway bridge crossing a gorge and a highway bridge crossing the railway bridge. Pretty wild.

Done with all the Star Wars movies by watching The Rise of Skywalker just now. Yeah sure, let's bring Palpatine back, because why not. And yes, he has kids btw. Ok...

But it was awesome to see Lando and Wedge, I must admit. I didn't remember that from the cinema 🙃

On Wednesday I was able to ride a tram from the 1930 while eating Treberwurst, a local specialty. The vehicle was used in Bern from 1935 until 1973, and was eventually turned into a mobile restaurant. Definitely a great experience!

Started the weekend with The Last Jedi. 11/12 films watched. I enjoyed it more than The Force Awakens, I must say. Sometimes a bit childish humour, but I guess that is something to address the younger audience.

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher both look great—they definitely aged very well.

"Russian warship, go fuck yourself"
— Roman Hrybov, 24 February 2022

Btw.: It was the missile cruiser Moskva, border guard Hrybov was talking to on the first day of Russia's full-scale incasion. The ship was f*cked eventually, when Ukranian forces attacked and sunk the ship on April 14th, 2022.

The 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami train wreck is the largest single rail disaster in world history by death toll, with 1,000 fatalities or more. It occurred when a crowded passenger train (No 50, Matara Express) was destroyed on a coastal railway in Sri Lanka by a tsunami that followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.

Watched The Force Awakens today. 10/12 of my Star Wars run. It's not great, it's not terrible 😉

However, I did like one tiny detail a lot: the Millenium Falcon has a different antenna - because Lando Calrissian "lost" it during the attack on the second Death Star.
