About twice as much. https://www.indianairmails.com/ai-bombay-to-london.html 1948 price was £141 one-way. This likely did not change much in the early years.

As someone who still lives in the suburbs of munich, I want to emphasize on the horrible public transportation situation in munich. It's always under construction, nothing really works and, as soon as there is some Public Event, everything breaks down.

Well, about the public transport being always under construction, yes, it is. But I think it’s a good thing.

First there is quite some money put into public transportation which is great.

Second, it has to be modernized all the time to accommodate for the growing passenger numbers and city growth.

Last but not least, for a long time there was no investment done into public transportation in Munich, so now they have to do more to keep up.

I like it and I would not like to live in a city which doesn’t invest in its public transportation system.

Yeah everything goes into the 2. Stammstrecke, the rest is left to rot in pieces.

A thread about Blind Guardian and there is no obligatory link to a crowd singing The Bard's Song?

I tend to lean more into the Valhalla crowd chanting <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ_VFJn2kJM>

"Valhalla, Deliverance Why've you ever forgotten me"

Some say they are still chanting to this day.

I still remember the uncountable hours I played Underworld I & II. Thank you for these games.

The Players without Internet access are not affected. The system goes into a bootloop after that, even after disconnecting from the net. So something is apparently changed on the device. Maybe a temp/log file is filled with exceptions and the disk is now full.

Here is a more recent post with benchmarks of different GUID algorithms in SQL Server, the author has a different outcome. In his benchmarks about index fragmentation, COMBGuid is not really much better than normal GUIDs. http://microsoftprogrammers.jebarson.com/benchmarking-index-...

It does look like the sequencial ids (not the combs) does about 50% better overall, and the comb from nhibernate does about 10% better than just random uuids .. this is in terms of paging and indexes.. total time to run the test isn't bad, but that's just the insert time. If you're generating from your application layer and storing in SQL Server, looks like the best option is UuidCreateSequential.

If you're interested in japanese cuisine and techniques, there is an excellent series of books from the japanese culinary academy. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/JCA/the-japanese-c...

The third book is about cutting fish and includes ike jima steps for different kinds of fish

Yeah, that's my impression too, you need to pat them very very dry, which might take time if you sear them directly from e.g. a sous vide bag. I still use it to sear single steaks, because the fire alarm is a bit overzealous and the searzall creates less smoke than a Cast Iron skillet.
