sandman1906··on Austria rail operator OeBB unveils new night trains
I've taken that route in a couchette car twice. I haven't had any issues and didn't find the quality of the service to be any different than other NightJets. I mean, it's not exactly luxury travel (in a couchette car), but I have nothing to complain about.

I'm not a fan of the fact that ÖBB couchette compartments don't have locks on their doors. But the sleeper cabins do. Were the people who were robbed in a sleeper?

sandman1906··on Tell HN: Books Printed by Amazon
These were all books that were quite recently published and I have seen all of them in bookshops.

In the past, I have received n>1 books which were sold by marketplace sellers but fulfilled by Amazon. Same inscription "Printed by Amazon", but these clearly had things wrong with them, like font issues.

sandman1906··on How the heart influences what we perceive and fear
Have you considered that it might be costochondritis?

I'm 23 and healthy. I went into ER a few months back with high heart rate, chest pressure, and palpitations. They couldn't find anything wrong with my heart, monitored me for a few days and discharged me without a diagnosis.

For 2-3 weeks after that I still had that same occasional chest pressure/tightness. This might be a coincidence but it started easing away when I started doing various exercises meant for costochondritis.
