It is a tribute to the quality of the engineering in this train that there were no injuries at all. I would rather be in the Shinkansen than in an underground train when a big quake hits.Guy Smiley wrote: Fri Mar 18, 2022 4:07 amThis is something that has bugged me over the years.Kiwias wrote: Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:28 pm So glad I live on the south-west coast of Japan.

Imagine hurtling along at 300km/h and the track shifting to one side a metre?
A40 Greenford crash: Woman says 'whole house shook' after lorry smashed into Ealing home and spilled potatoes everywhere
A woman from West London has described the horror of hearing her "whole house shake" as a lorry carrying 45,000 kilograms of potatoes came barreling off a main road next to her house last night. Pictures from the scene show spuds scattered across the road after the van careered into a house last night (March 21).
Local residents heard loud bangs seconds before the crash, and insist that it is "incredibly lucky" no one was killed - given that cyclists and pedestrians frequent the area in the evenings. Emergency services rushed to the scene, and have since confirmed that there have been no reports of any serious injuries.
The area was littered with hundreds of potatoes which spilled out of the vehicle, while the lorry and cars involved in the collision were removed from the area. An Ealing Council clean-up operation has begun with workers offering potatoes to bystanders.
It's every bit as bad as it sounds, god love them all.A row has reportedly broken out between a bereaved family and a council after a 37-tonne marble memorial to a former bare-knuckle boxer featuring a solar-powered jukebox was erected in a cemetery in Sheffield.
I remember many years ago being a passenger in a car going up the M6, having smoked a considerable amount of weed, and getting into a traffic jam caused by thousands of sheeps heads falling off a lorry. A lot of things were questioned that daytabascoboy wrote: Wed Mar 23, 2022 10:45 am She nearly had her chips...

Makes a man proud to be Irish. To think he only died a few years back and that has gone from idea, to design, to planning, custom construction and installation in that time is a testament to the industry of the Travelling community. I think we all salute them. Don't we.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60861793Funeral firm collapses leaving fears over payments
A funeral plan provider with 45,000 customers in the UK has collapsed, throwing contracts into doubt and raising concern over refunds.
Safe Hands had already signalled its intention to stop operating, but its collapse means pre-bought funerals may not be honoured.
Administrators said the company could not provide immediate refunds, leaving many worried their money will be lost.
The sector is facing an imminent overhaul, leaving other plans in doubt.
From 29 July, any provider must be authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which, from that point onwards, will give consumers far greater protection than they have at the moment.
Safe Hands was one of dozens of companies operating in the currently unregulated pre-paid funeral sector.
Customers such as Lyn Burrow, 72, and her husband Fred, 80, signed up to contracts that saved their family the expense and emotional cost of organising their funerals when they die.
The couple spent a total of £6,310 on their plan, which she said had given them "peace of mind".
She spoke to BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme about her concerns when it emerged that Safe Hands had decided to stop operating when new regulations begin.
Now, following news that the company is in administration, those fears have heightened.
She said: "My family was supposed not to have to worry, but what are we going to do now?"
"If we could at least recover some of the money, we could make up the difference with a reputable company. But £6,000 is a lot of money. It would have to come from our savings."
Joint administrator Nedim Ailyan, partner at FRP, said they would carry out a detailed investigation to discover what could be returned to creditors, including policyholders - whose funds are in a trust fund, which itself has a shortfall compared to what is required for full refunds.
"Regrettably, the administration means the company is not in a position to issue refunds at this time. We appreciate how upsetting this period of uncertainty will be for Safe Hands Plans' customers and their families," he said.
"Unfortunately, there is a shortfall between the level of plan holder investments and the forecast level of funeral plan costs to be paid. Essentially, the value of the investments is not enough to meet the funeral plan obligations of the company."
Any funeral plans activated in the next two weeks, because the policyholder has died, will be covered by another provider - Dignity. Mr Ailyan said a "longer-term solution" was being sought beyond that deadline, and customers - or their loved ones - would be contacted. A helpline has been set up on 0800 640 9928.

one of the common windows network vulnerability revolve around being able to network sniff password hashes and then run those against know password lists to crack them.
there is program called Hashcat that does this rather well and very quickly.
POC testing in the office on my Xeon desktop took 24 mins in a VM with 4 cores assigned. Pretty impressive to run through a 15 Gig - 1.5 Billions passwords file.
However it's faster on modern GFX cards, so I ran the same test with my 2080ti, it took 41 seconds!!!!

Cheers, that's really helpful. I hadn't even considered them not numbering years tbh.Mahoney wrote: Thu Apr 21, 2022 7:45 am I don't know, I'm no scholar of ancient Greece, but I suspect that might need a little more context - back in which day? Pericles' Athens? Justinian's Constantinople?
And why are they writing it? As a date, or just the number 2,022? No-one was using Anno Domini before 525 AD. Wikipedia suggests they didn't number years at all in the 5th & 4th centuries BC, just dated things by who held a chief magistracy that year.
Great. Thanks for that.ASMO wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 1:12 pmUtterly disgraceful lack of rule 1, almost a temp banning offence, here is the non fartertabascoboy wrote: Tue Apr 05, 2022 12:31 pmIrish barista ends up in hospital after holding in farts around boyfriend for two years

Joan Ita Bergin, 58, was living in the United Kingdom last December when she developed a cough and bad chest that lasted for close to a week, the Daily Mail reported.
During that time she took Lemsip cold and flu drink to manage the symptoms.
But on Christmas Day, Bergin's son called an ambulance after seeing his mum's condition deteriorate.
Bergin had been vomitting coffee-coloured bile and was found to have low oxygen levels and "significantly elevated" liver enzymes, the Daily Mail reported..
The mother-of-one was taken to intensive care and diagnosed with liver failure.
However, she continued to deteriorate and died on January 7.
An inquest was held into Bergin's death at the UK's Preston Coroner's Court.
It was told that Bergin also drank alcohol excessively.
Her son Matthew said in a statement that his mum drank three to four cans of cider each day before work and up to 10 cans at weekends.
