@onlmaps This is bot account, so screaming into this hole is probably useless. Anyhow, that blue territory with a question mark asking where does "polievka/polevka/poliwka" come from etymologically: it comes from "polievat/liat" == "to pour" (onto) something. I.e., "polievka" = "something to pour/something to pour onto/over something else" Probably a translated common root with the Hungarian "liquid".

@ktemkin I seriously think there is a big market opportunity in technology for fitting/finding the right size/shape/... for the bra market. Internet is full of alchemy-loaded magic tutorials on how to do this, stores try to convince people that their personnel can do it, but the only thing to say there is that most are wrong and/or don't work. Unless you are a very very standard size. At the moment the body requirements are just slightly out of what you call "easy to stock" sizes, it's a huge pain. Literally. As a result many ladies are walking around in pain, just because they gave up on the thing and accept something what is actually maybe even harming them.

@pony I think the problem with the "top" pen is that it's only an insider thing. Nobody else has a clue about the price of those things. They look like all the other cheaper ones.

And when we speak about functionally "good" models, the ones which are IMO very good are sometimes dirty cheap (like €5-€10).

@piggo Thanks. I learned something there...

@pony On the second thought, Jesus being killed by the [Logo turtle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)) sounds a tad bit worse fate that this.

@pony poor jesus there 😄

@piggo The curse of too smart devices.

@piggo I root for your project. How about connecting your lights? You could get an e-mail with subject "Light is now on. Enjoy!"

@piggo 😂

@rjayasinghe That relates to me indeed. Funny thing: I am not heavy, BMI cca 22. Nevertheless last year I decided to lose about 1/10th of my weight. My best times on 6/8/10km tracks improved significantly during and after that time. After all, not carrying several kgs of weight makes indeed a difference, though I am not sure if all of that was fat, I guess I lost also some lean mass there.

@pony No clue in this case, but often the idea at stations like this is that they serve as "waiting"/"train passing" places. I.e., you can park a passenger train there for a while, while a cargo train would overtake it. Or more often you can "park" there a slow regional train while a fast Intercity would speed by. No clue about this case, but sometimes you'd get a station in a middle of nowhere which serves as a spikes-hub for Intercity trains to dump/load passengers which are further handled by a a star-shaped network of regional trains which would always wait for the said Intercity train, even if it would be delayed. In such situations they designed stations at overcapacity. There are more stations like this in CZ/SK space.

@rjayasinghe yeah, that's my lifestyle too. But did you ever try to track/count calories you eat? Because if you would, you'd be surprised how energy efficient human body is. What I see there is about 300g bread, 60g peanut butter and 60g nutella. My calc says to it about 1080kCal. At the lifestyle you describe, you need like 2500-3000kCal/day. Now a fast 15km ride at 30km/h avg speed amounts to about 450kCal, which is about the same as 6km swift run at 4:10 per km tempo. So I see both those sport sessions together right there on your plate. My point is this: unless they count calories (which can be very revealing), people tend to grossly overestimate their real energy intake requirements.
