UmbralRaptop: welcome to not CH

Anyway, bus caught, now waiting for subway

UmbralRaptop: compare with CH where if the tram is stuck at the stop waiting for a traffic light but you're late to take it it will not open its doors

Ah, still running, just slowly
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: walking?
<UmbralRaptop>
trains
<UmbralRaptop>
well, subways
<egg|laptop|egg>
walking sandwiches
<e_14159>
egg: This is contrary to Germany, where the tram will both not open the doors *and* be late.

<egg|laptop|egg>
ah maybe because sandwiches
<bofh>
e_14159: wait, Germany, public transit being late, wat?
<e_14159>
That's sarcasm, right? I have difficulties recognizing that in written form.
<whitequark>
in my experience germans hate their trains more than russians hate their trains
<UmbralRaptop>
Germans and Russians hate their trains?
<bofh>
I mean my very limited experience with German transit was Frankfurt, where literally half the S-Bahn was under construction at the time and so unusuable
<bofh>
I got to see a lot of posters of a very smarmy-looking mole, tho.
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: in what sense do they hate their trains
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: do they complain about them all the time and use them a lot like the french, or do they avoid them
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: I mean, Source Naturelle des Catastrophes Ferroviaires,
<egg|laptop|egg>
I did not know that one
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: did I show you the Hassan Cehef sketch
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: also have you seen the "c'est possible" ads
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: I have not seen that sketch, no
<bofh>
also link to ads? I've seen one of those so far
<e_14159>
bofh: Oh, yes, the mole. It's almost everywhere...
<e_14159>
bofh: At least in Munich, there's a continuing impression that public transport isn't working.
<e_14159>
I don't have that, but that's because I leave for work by ~0720, which means I mostly avoid the rush hour.
<bofh>
I am suddenly reminded of trying to use ligne 4 around 17h30 on a weekday
<bofh>
literally took one look at the maximally packed cars, went NOPE, FUCK THIS and waited for the next one. repeat 3x before one with enough room in it to comfortably stand arrived.

B787_300: I wonder if better ventilation…
<B787_300>
jus tthink about it though if there isnt a long recovery period
<B787_300>
and of course better verntilation would help
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: I swear you've linked that to *me* in the past, lol.
<egg|laptop|egg>
yes
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: also it's not the *font* that's what's the issue, it's that the codepoints are apparently not mapped meaningfully to the cuneiform glyphs, it's haphazard (and ofc a major complaint is there's no way to differentiate, say, Ur III from Neo-Assyrian, but imho that's something that is better done via IVS)
<bofh>
egg|laptop|egg: Han Unification but for Sumero-Akkadian,
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: nobody encodes glyphs
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: but people not familiar with the encoding of complex scripts think the encoding is an encoding of glyphs
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: so yes, you have unification
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: which is why you need separate fonts
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: possibly adding to confusion, the characters have human-friendly names, instead of names like those of CJKV ideographs, which means that the names may be inappropriate for a usage
<bofh>
I mean yes, that is also an issue.
<bofh>
Like for instance I ran into this with qēmu (Akkadian for 'flour'). It's ZID2.DA., but in Neo-Assyrian ESH2 (ZID2) and ZID3 merged to the same glyph, leading to confusion.
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: welcome to the world of CJK
<egg|laptop|egg>
except you get ligatures as a bonus
<bofh>
I mean don't worry, I know :P
<bofh>
Like a lot of my irritation at the Assyriology bunch comes from the fact that they could stand to read Ken Lunde's CJKV Information Processing text, at least a few particular chapters of it.
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: anyway, clearly the solution is: "just do it"; the fonts are out there (not with ligatures, but it's a start), the documentation of what the characters correspond to in various schemes is out there https://cdli.ucla.edu/dl/lineart/P414985_l.jpg 𒀀𒈾 𒂍𒀀𒈾𒍢𒅕...
