How easy is it to paralyze the Polish railroad? Let's find out!
In recent days, there has been a peculiar "trend" of emergency stopping of trains using radio-stop signals. Not for the first time and probably not for the last, but this time the situation is interesting in that there is an ongoing war abroad, and various politicians are trying to "connect" themselves to these actions with their speeches, often speaking untruthfully. So, let's see what the reality is. I just woke up from hibernation... What actually happened? In the past few days, "someone" maliciously caused…

testing your animation refresh rate with css crimes??
(Seems to behave weirdly on multi-monitor mixed-refresh-rate setups. Also, if you use Reduced Motion, make sure to turn it off for the animation to work) To read it, look for the lowest number which isn’t turning and which appears in dark text (ie isn’t flickering on alternate frames). Original version, supports 30/48/50/60/90/120/144hz: Warning: flickering imagery, open at your discretion. A zoetrope-like disc covered with numbers carefully arranged in patterns. As it spins, the viewer's refresh rate remains visually stable amidst a flurry of other dancing numbers.

A zoetrope-like disc covered with numbers carefully arranged in patterns. As it spins, the viewer's refresh rate remains visually stable amidst a flurry of other dancing numbers.
