Just that first thing

Ah right. Yeah we don't have a lot those, we have a hub and spoke system of commuter trains, with gaps filled with busses.

Wellington is services by a couple of weekday trains from neighbouring cities, that are each approx 2 hours away (slow ones, travelling around 150km distance in that time). Of those trains, one only runs once a day and not at all on weekend, and the other is only like 4 a day and 2 on weekends. Intercity rail is not that good here. You can get Wellington<->Auckland (two biggest cities) but it's priced for tourists not commuters (goes pasts mountains etc). Plus is a whole day's travel, we don't have fast trains.

In Wellington, NZ is the busses and trains are often late, but they run every 5-20 mins and they have electronic boards telling you when they are estimated to arrive based on real time tracking, so it's not a big deal when you can just show up and one won't be far away.

Oh for sure, and Organic Maps was a fork too. Open Source is awesome 🙂.

I reckon whoever that team member was introducing them all to CoMaps is probably familiar with the Fediverse, and may even be watching us now 👀

This is really cool! Amazing for such a new project too. I love reading about all the work they are doing. Also scary that it takes 35 hours to run the map update 😆

Andre the Giant has been dead for over 30 years so I'm not sure he can throw as far as you're expecting.

I have this one recipe that calls for half a clove of garlic...

I feel like I have quite some learning to go on cooking the perfect pizza!

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I never considered that a short sharp cook would be better than longer at a lower heat. I already only cook the pizzas 3-5 mins.

Hmm, maybe I will need to learn how to hack my oven.

My oven has a pizza mode 😆. Surely at 450 Celsius the pizza is just gonna come out black... I think pizza mode is more like 260 heated from underneath.

My oven can get up to (and past) this temp. Unfortunately the door locks so I can't get a preview of Satan's home (it only does it for pyrolytic cleaning).

Thanks! I knew the comment section would have my back.
