For my thesis, I read a lot of papers about classification yards and sorting of wagons. Many European authors persistently misunderstand why and how wagons are classified onto trains and blocks (groups of wagons in trains), so in this thread I'll try to provide insights into classification yards

From #Narvik 🇳🇴 to #Luleå 🇸🇪 today, with the #SJ #InterCity #95. Really beautiful scenery up here, to be enjoyed through the opening windows of the train. Fresh air carriages have become a rather scarce commodity in most of Europe.

Tänään pidetty kuuleminen työntekijöiden työoloista Amazonin varastoilla veti vakavaksi. Kuulimme suoraan työntekijöiltä aivan järkyttäviä esimerkkejä työoloista ympäri Eurooppaa. On selvää, että näin ei voi jatkua vaan komission ja europarlamentin on lisättävä painetta Amazonin suuntaan. 1/4 🧵👇

The best thing about this story (which of course we had before everyone else), is that no matter what really happened, that JD Vance meme is now wildly viral. Another win for the Streisand Effect.

This is quite something - this is the calibre of person you are electing to control public money and make key decisions when you vote for Reform UK.

1/11 Many think the war in Ukraine is a tie. But strategically, Ukraine is much closer to achieving its initial strategic goals than russia is. Here’s why Ukraine is closer to winning—and why russia is facing one of the biggest military failures in modern history

If you thought that Europe humiliated itself at the NATO summit, check this out. It’s a very weird video posted by the official White House account. We’re in the creepiest timeline

Seeing a lot of users commenting that Finland is a socialist country, which, as someone who has lived here full time for almost 9 years, is a preposterous and laughable brainfart.

Can we move on from talking incessantly about New York. Don’t think the future of the world order hinges on its municipal election tbh.

I always thought that the German language was the one with the long words. That was, however, before I saw #Vadelmajogurttisuklaapatukka on the #Finnair 🇫🇮 onboard menu card. 🤓 Very tempting certainly, yet I went for something easier to pronounce: an #olut (🍺).

City of Lahti, Finland has fallen to a classic scam in public transport: PRT. Combination of stations and track for the price of a metro with capacity less than a taxi will never work. The politicians in Lahti should demand who fell for this. yle.fi/a/74-20169303

I find this whole "we didn't get something so neither should you" attitude incredibly depressing. HS2, the Elizabeth line are normal projects which normal European countries accomplish. And it does benefit Newcastle indirectly at the least due to higher tax revenues driven by econ activity.

Minkki on haitallinen vieraslaji! Korkeasaaressa on ollut kastroituja pesukarhuja, jotka olivat entisiä lemmikkejä. Sellaisia ei voi enää pitää, koska pesukarhu on haitallinen vieraslaji. Kuitenkin samainen Suomi haluaa jatkaa minkin tarhausta. Jälleen kerran ihan absurdia.

VOA's Persian Service did not carry live President Trump's speech about bombing Iran. The few remaining staffers describe a catastrophic failure due to Kari Lake's removal of most of their colleagues. The video of the speech could not be uploaded to the VOA Farsi website for 12 hours.

Heard former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speak yesterday. Her message of kindness and humility in politics in a world gone mad was a breath of fresh air.
