In the last months, I had to use trains on a regular basis and got into the habit to use 3/4 of the travel time for some Debian work (most AM things can be done offline, for example).
Well, this entry is about the other 1/4. I spend it watching people. Commuters, people on the way to the airport, the "normally, I use my car, but ..." type and lots of others. I'm still amazed how dumb most of these persons are. Chit-Chatting about totally
boring nonsense - not funny nonsense, just words coming out of their mouthes to keep the brain occupied and avoid thinking. I never understood this form of conversation, but my research got me to the hypothesis that it can only be done after a lobotomy was performed.
