Not quite used to trams
The city of Tampere saw the opening of its first two tram lines in early August, and both motorists and pedestrians are seemingly still trying to adjust.
The daily Aamulehti reports that so far, while serious personal injuries have been avoided, trams have been involved in five major accidents, including a collision between a tram and a van on August 30 that is expected to have cost a five-figure sum once it’s all totalled up.
Altogether there have been 27 accidents involving trams and 35 close calls with pedestrians.
Aamulehti reports that trams operators on Thursday were concerned about indifference, and a lack of respect for traffic regulation in the city.
A major worry is what the paper called the “cardinal sin” of Tampere residents – ignoring red lights.
Samsung releases pair of jeans that can’t do anything except cover your legs and hold a Galaxy Z Flip 3
Who needs big pockets, right? Other than, you know, literally everyone

With the exception of iPhone fans, have you ever bought a mobile and thought, “I’m going to base my entire identity around owning this item of cellular technology”?
No? OK, well, don’t tell Samsung Australia, which has partnered with Dr Denim, “one of Australia’s most beloved jeans brands” apparently, to release the Z Flip Pocket Denim.

So what do these wundertrousers do? Are they the new frontier in wearable tech, seamlessly integrating with the Z Flip 3 to give off pleasant vibrations whenever someone WhatsApps you a hilarious TikTok?
Sorry, no. But they do have a pocket. Not just any pocket, mind, but one perfectly tailored to hold the diminutive gadget, which folds horizontally into a square instead of vertically outwards into a fondleslab like the Z Fold 3.

Extra points for the word:
fondleslab
That’s in The Register’s style sheet, apparently.
Wundertrousers is a new one, though.
When some new invention of human expression comes along, there are ones who are notable because they were among the first to use it, and there are ones who are notable because they seem to have said “Finally! I’ve been waiting for this!”

“my self-flushing lav”
umm… somebody’s doing it wrong?
you don’t wash your hands in the toilet!
or… gross! you didn’t do it in the wash basin, did you?
I’m glad to see the trams go in. It had been talked about for years. My last time in Tampere was in 2016 and I do miss Plevna quite a bit.
Keep telling myself that orb weavers are cool, these are just really big orb weavers, and maybe they’ll eat the stink bugs when they inevitably move here…
I can only hope the answer to that “spread across the US” question is…
