the journey to 39C3 is getting off to a great start

they really should tie the trains to the rails better. they shouldn't be falling out

instead they're doing the opposite… the zugbindung is aufgehoben…

well i won't say no to a little unplanned copenhagen adventure to kill time, though i bet a lot of shops are closed today…

“hello can i have meaningful social connection and discourse please”
“sir this is a schismogenesis shop. now step into the atomiser”

giving up on reaching Hamburg today, I guess we'll see if we feel like taking an early train tomorrow

day 2 and the birds were waiting for us this morning. an auspicious day… we're in a better mood also. let's go

if a train operated by Deutsche Bahn isn't delayed a few minutes before it even arrives and then immediately delayed again at the time it should have arrived, does it even make a sound

if a train operated by Deutsche Bahn isn't delayed a few more times, can we even be sure it was real

if a train… der Bahn…

if a train operated by Deutsche Bahn isn't delayed at least 30 minutes and still doesn't show up, does life have a meaning

yet more delay and an announcement in danish-accented English that they have no idea when the train will actually arrive lmfao

lmao another +5 minutes

see, a train has actually arrived on this platform now

… but only because they apparently no longer believe the DB train will be arriving soon so they're allowing a DSB train to arrive at this platform first

waiting for DB trains is fun because i too constantly make overoptimistic time estimates with no basis even as it becomes increasingly implausible that they are true and my credibility has been destroyed by the previous ten times i didn't deliver

if a train … one hour …

they delayed it again a few minutes ago and then it disappeared from the display entirely

they made another announcement, they still have no idea when the train will show up, so that's probably why it's disappeared for now

tog

oh this is a fancy new DSB train! wao

our train nerd friends tell us this service might actually be operated by DSB these days. in which case I… still suspect the delays are probably DB's fault one way or another… I'd say DB Netz but apparently DB Netz isn't what it's called any more…

train is moving! yaay

in Hamburg

you know it's a German city when the public transit

• has multiple apps for no obvious reason and they are trying to market the new one to you rather than like, making it so there's only one
• paying by SEPA direct debit in the app fails
• paying by debit card in the app fails
• the ticket machine is straight out of 2007
• the ticket machine doesn't accept contactless payment
• you should have been a good citizen and used the app that doesn't work so too bad you pay extra for using a ticket machine like some tourist

why do germans love forcing pedestrians to cross terrifying multi-lane roadways with high speed limits and why does every german driver want to murder pedestrians indiscriminately

oh yeah we're actually @ 39C3 for real now uhh yeah

@hikari maaan it would be lovely to reconnect, but I'm stuck in my hotel room with the flu. Have a wonderful Congress!

@hikari also it's Germany the cars have more rights than the people
