Actually, the livery suggests this train belongs to SBB CFF FFS, short for Schweizerische Bundesbahnen / Chemins de Fer Fédéraux / Ferrovie Federali Svizzere.
But my ticket says Trenitalia. Must be some sort.of "codeshare" agreement... or did I take the wrong train? 😰
Uh-oh... the SBB-Trenitalia codeshare will be delayed 26 minutes. And who is to blame? 😤
There's a good chance I will miss the 11:10 Frecciarossa to Firenze 😨
An announcement just said that passengers who miss their connections can head.to the ticket office to get rebooked on the next train. Luckily, there are high-speed trains departing from Milano Centrale every 30 minutes 😌
Back to the original question: if climbing one floor takes 3.4 calories and you ate 1000 calories of pizza (either a Napoli-style margherita or 2 slices of NY-style cheese pizza)...
...you will have to climb 294 floors to burn it! 😱
@martijn You're right, we only need to workout to burn the "excess" calories in our daily diet.
Though the 2000 kcal diet that's often used as a reference is probably too high for a modern lifestyle where we sit at a desk all day and commute to work by car. My maintenance calorie intake is probably around 1600-1700 kcal per day.
Mario also owns this vintage 8 mm movie camera powered by a... spring! Yes. You recharge it by winding the knob on the side. Not sure how long the film spool will last.
This is presumed to be a 1962 model, oddly 2 years after Revere ceased to exist as an independent brand.
This model sold for $168, equivalent to $1700 today. According to the US Census, family income averaged to about $6000 in 1962, making this minimalist movie camera affordable for the middle class.
Mario and his wife still use this mechanical kitchen scale.
The label says it was built by Santo Stefano S.p.A. in Varese. There isn't a lot of information online about this presumably defunct company. How old is this thing? How much did it cost?
Mario seems unaware that Mario is a stereotypical Italian name, but when I mentioned Nintendo's Mario Bros., he pulled out these dolls... an ironic birthday gift from his daughter.
He does wear a mustache, but rather than a plumber, he was a barista. Rather than a princess, he married an accountant... and they lived happily ever after... at least it seems so to me 😂
