For no particular reason: here are the average maximum-queue times for the three biggest theme parks in Europe (10 busiest rides only), in 2023.

Some interesting insights about capacity planning to be gleaned from this; visitor numbers from 2019 are 9.8 million for Disneyland Paris, 5.8 million for Europa Park, and 5.4 million for the Efteling, so not *that* far removed.

Oh, you thought that microcoasters were just an RCT shitpost?

food, non-vegan 

By kidney diet standards, honestly, this was a king's breakfast.

(The custom breakfast that the Efteling/Bosrijk people cooked up for me to stay within my salt/potassium restrictions)

Time for another round of "is it phishing or is it not?" - guess!

Twitter screenshot, white tech dude ignorance 

Apparently a tweet can age poorly in more than one way...

(Spectrum shut down a few years later. It now only exists as the 'Discussions' tab on Github repositories, which acquired them.)

There's quite some work to do to get these boards into a usable condition, unfortunately...

spider identification question :boost_requested: 

What kind of spider is this?

A "black" permanent marker can make for some very interesting results on some materials

Megabus (RIP) was definitely a very professional bus company

Totally normal for a *checks notes* keyboard typing practice tool

food (vegetarian), sort of recipe 

I'm going to declare today's almost-vegan meat pastry a success! The only non-vegan ingredient is some cheese

Sauce is made out of vegetable stock/broth cubes immersion-mixed with flour and some peas to thicken, with generous amounts of thyme, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, slight amount of turmeric, coriander, celery, black/white pepper, and a bit of salt. Also a glob of sharp mustard mixed in, as well as a few whole peas.

The remainder of the filling is spinach and cheap minced meat substitute from Lidl, the crumb stuff. Wrapped in fresh vegan pastry dough with some grated cheese added.

Meat substitute and spinach are fried and later added to the sauce and boiled for a bit longer.
