They should just keep the visitor caps with the fees equal. My cousin is Venician but moved to Treviso because Venice is ruined. He’s now thinking of moving again because Treviso is becoming ruined by proximity to Venice.

If you go to Venice today, it feels like 80% tourists and like 50% of them are Americans. It’s like going to a Disneyland. Most people on gondolas or water taxis are just posing hard for selfies or swapping with a friend if they’re not solo. The regular boats are so packed, it’s faster to just walk across town and it’s not an enjoyable walk.

Last week’s I saw a guy propose on a gondola, just as it was heading under the Bridge of Sighs by the old prisons. I’m sure he thought it was romantic to propose in Venice, but couldn’t help but laugh at the irony and hope it’s not an ill metaphor for the future bride.

Really, it’s last heyday was 80s/90s. If you’re not with a local, it sucks. Oh, and the pickpockets…

Go quiet season, walk around at night, that’s as close to Venice as you can get nowadays.

Edit: Eh, I shouldn’t give it so much shit. There’s plenty of spots to still enjoy. Just sucks… Like, something really special has to be going on to make the trip out there. For me it was the Palestinian artists exhibition then walking down to the ghetto and just taking all that history in and wondering how it’s all worked out like it has.

This smells like a “We have AI for that now” decision from way up top. The kind of level that is so high it has absolutely no idea about how any of it works, but thinks in gains.

It’s definitely worth at least one playthrough. You’ll likely do a few replays.

Easy, casual, like a linear sandbox for lack of better terms.

Yeah, I think like this too. Considering systems can have multiple stars which have planets with varying orbital planes because of this.

Imagine the Solar System has some small red dwarf called Sol B out past Saturn. Neptune and Uranus orbit it as the star orbits Sol. Then waaay out further is Sol C, which orbits Sol too, but it’s alone and not at all dense.

Sol, Sol B, Sol C are all stars in the Solar System. Sol and Sol B are suns, Sol C is not.

Just not getting those “punch it” energy either.

I think it’s pretty obvious they’re for playing Tullianums et Dracones. Probably editio III since it had the most d10 use.

I just keep thinking Furry Bureau of Investigation.

meowzers!

Don’t forget all the climate stuff happening exactly as predicted like twenty years ago.

Yes.

And now you probably realise how fucking dumb cock-a-doodle-doo sounds to people outside the UK.

Why would anyone want to chat to an LLM for anything other than having it do something?

This is like chatting to a search engine or tech support bot lol

Oh. Great. Only €1K. Super…

😢

I can’t even understand what they’re trying to communicate and I know three languages and five programming languages.

This must be lingo specific to a microculture of the internet. Some game, place, age bracket, I dunno. Is it like fanfiction with psychopathic delusion beating out reality?

Pretty sure they already assumed this. But, sure, make it public, Israel. Toss another toy from the pram.

Because cutting visas with a national employment rate of 4.5% is economic suicide. Australia will obviously still require a healthy stream if migrant workers if it wants any hope of growth and economic stability. There’s 2.8b people to tap into from those countries.

Do nothing / Overwhelmed by stuff that needs doing.

One of the ebikes seized on Friday belonged to a 14-year-old boy from Warriewood. Police said it was capable of reaching speeds of more than 90km/h.

When I was that age, I was getting as low down on my bicycle as possible to reach 48kph down the steepest hill in the area. Now they can do double that with a press of a thumb…

Jealous; worried. Mostly jealous.

When an infomercial says, “But wait! There’s more!”

That’s usually the calibre of writing, but enough people get their credit cards out.

Nope. Skimmed.

Broke my own code. Ironically I blame the sparkling Chardonnay.
