@goatsarah @christineburns It’s frustrating that France has cracked down on short haul flights but not inter-regional train pricing being OTT.

Zoë O'Connell (zoe@zoeoconnell.co.uk)'s status on Wednesday, 15-May-2024 07:46:00 JST Zoë O'Connell I see the current lot in power can't even get reimplementing section 28 right without effing it up. They're de-facto section 28ing the straights too.
No discussion of sexual assaults and consent until MINIMUM age 9. (Some kids will be 10)
No discussion of actual sex or the negative effects of porn until MINIMUM age 13. (Some kids will be 14)
Have they actually ever met a teenager? Do they think nobody experiences sexual harassment or assault before they're 10? -

"It should be a wonder in Civ: Bishops Stortford Junction Remodelling. Takes your entire civilisation output ten turns "

Zoë O'Connell (zoe@zoeoconnell.co.uk)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Jan-2024 00:31:27 JST Zoë O'Connell @swaldman @goatsarah I’m always drawn to aviation as a good example of UI design as errors can have major consequences.
Even the shiny glass cockpit on an Airbus uses ACTUAL KNOBS AND BUTTONS. Even if the button is context-sensitive, there’s something to jab at.
I get the ease of cleaning for a hob but there are better ways of doing it.

Zoë O'Connell (zoe@zoeoconnell.co.uk)'s status on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2024 22:52:38 JST Zoë O'Connell @swaldman @goatsarah I think every single one of those lacks physical climate controls - suggesting they've falled into the trap of normal driving operations requiring unsafe interaction with a touch screen. And potentially significant interaction if you need to switch away from and then back to CarPlay/Android Auto being used for navigation.

First place is just finishing.

Zoë O'Connell (zoe@zoeoconnell.co.uk)'s status on Friday, 04-Aug-2023 02:57:22 JST Zoë O'Connell @cstross @AlisonW My old motorbike, an Aprilia RS125, had a warning in the owner's manual that no part of it was edible.
A warning important enough to also bear repeating in the workshop manual.
I don't know if that's just an Italian thing or if there has been a particularly interesting court case against them in the past.

We learnt our lesson.

Zoë O'Connell (zoe@zoeoconnell.co.uk)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jul-2023 05:06:06 JST Zoë O'Connell I see Tory ministers are spouting off again about topics they don’t understand.
I suspect Suella Braverman would be quite upset to find out that I, a trans woman who is lactating, exist.
Nothing to do with having kids, my pituitary tumour is making bits of my body think I’ve just given birth. I discovered this when my letdown reflex was triggered by a crying baby on the train from Bishops Stortford to Cambridge on Friday.
