I realized that I had forgotten my laptop in our apartment in Zurich just when the train left the station 😱
I have now arranged with my wife for a secret agent-style handover in Olten. Luckily, the EC to Olten leaves on the opposite side of the platform in Bern.
Man, I double and triple check, but sometimes I should quadruple check :-/
EDIT: well, it’s not the opposite side of the platform, but I made it.

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆
Waymo says it temporarily suspended its ride-hailing service in San Francisco during a citywide blackout, as downed traffic lights appeared to halt its vehicles (Joe Rivano Barros/Mission Local)

Paralegal (n): portmanteau of "paratrooper" and "legal".
Highly trained elite attorneys who are airdropped onto a defendant's premises to serve papers and demand discovery before they have time to react.
(With how much lawyers cost these days you probably could afford to parachute drop one lol)
@… Make sure you knows how your phone plan will work when you’re abroad.
And how long can you keep it before you *must* change to a local plan in your new country?
(Some carriers will only allow you to roam abroad up to a certain duration)
