    Only the Frist Lord and his wife are allowed to contact them!

    Are patricians allowed, though? Asking for a friend

    As for Andrei, when I see that sort of notation on Google maps, it usually means that the two stations are connected via an underground passage. Not sure they included the walking time in the 2h 3min.

    No pages or maidens allowed contact outside the serfdom?

    Is the first one an email containing tracking information for a package? If so, that 1 minute ago might be the last time the bot that read the tracking info read the tracking status and saw the package is out for delivery. REALLY annoying feature (for me anyway) that Gmail added. Really annoying to see some random email I read days ago, that I'm keeping in my inbox until I get the package, appeared to have came in after some random auto emails that tend to be sent to me between midnight to 3am, or even email I didn't want to deal with before going to bed the night before.

    I'm a near zero unread email user, BTW.

    One of my pet peeves is when they advertise that you can “earn up to $1,000 a day or more.” “Up to or more” would include any number between zero and infinity.

    For some reason, Google Maps seems to think there's an "outpost" of Maybachstraße (Stuttgart) U-Bahn station next to Zeutern Ost station, some 50km away... I got it to show on the map, but only after a bunch of messing around with the route. In reality, the line through Zeutern only goes as far as Odenheim, so is of no use to anyone heading in the direction "Andrei" is planning to go...

    What's wrong in the first image? If it's 6:10 PM now, then 4:37 is 1 hour 33 minutes ago. It's quite common to round down and display that as one hour. An email or a youtube video that is 364 days old will say 11 months and then bump that up to a year, and at 6:37 I'm sure that gmail inbox displayed 4:37 as 2 hours ago.

    What is thy bidding, my Lord General?

    It's probably just a system that goes like "Just now", "a few seconds ago", "a minute ago" etc and now it's at 1h and will flip up 2h or "a few hours ago" once the 2h roll over

    ...for a moment, I expected Google to link Vaihingen (Enz) and Stuttgart-Vaihingen. I mean, hard enough to keep those Swabians apart.

    It also doesn't rule out you paying them.

    I think the dotted path is usually a step done by walking. The text turn-by-turn directions would make it clear.

  • (nodebb) in reply to miquelfire

    This is a regular email thread in Gmail - no tracking/parcels involved.

    @t is probably correct, although since it does show the ability to track in minutes, one would think that the highly paid engineers at Google would be able to mathturbate effectively...
