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!

TIL lobsters are biologically immortal - they don't age and can theoretically live forever, but die from exhaustion during molting as they grow larger, not from old age

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.
