Ah... there is actually film footage of one (1888-1924) of the earlier monorails in Ireland but, yes, all the other earlier examples were closed long ago; https://youtu.be/eNnKiMPmApg?t=78
Can it be worse than the Zucky Metaverse?Actually, no, scratch that question... >.>
Can't get that song out of my head... ^^
Paraguay hiding when Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil were in the same panel was semi-amusing.If that had actually been intentional... /s
Transplanting the modern course of the Seine back 2000+ years does make it look like people are more important than the river..."The river originally had multiple branches and sandy banks, with its course shifting naturally due to floods and sediment, leading to the city's Latin motto, "Fluctuat nec mergitur" (Tossed by the waves, but does not sink)."
More traditional monorails were running in the mid 19th century; up to 120-160km/h by 1897: https://www.facebook.com/openbaarvervoernu/posts/een-beetje-geschiedenis-de-monorail-tussen-antwerpen-en-brussel-op-de-wereldtent/1952094208409580/
Alemaniarrak in Basque.
As filmed more-or-less at the time, the best 19th century tech was designed to last; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TqqdOcX4dc
211 kilodong, give or take a wrinkle.
Heh... spotted on usersub and thought nah, make it ankle-biting chihuahua and you have a deal.Checked the post, scrolled down.... Yesss, there is a Dog. : )
LOLOK, that comment made my day, thanks... : )
As Christmas is more an excuse for commercial gain these days please feel free to lob some greetings in the general direction of said capitalist interests to warm the frozen hearts of their CEOs this winter, too. : )
Excellent demonstration on How to Handel a Malamute. <3*Hallawoooojah!* ^^
Reset to #e25822 for a successful hex.
Darn, too slow... I was going to post a periodic table joke in response but all the best ones argon already. : /
Any more gaps and the entire house would be levitating. Sheesh... : /I'll stick with my ~90 year old house built using solid granite blocks, huge, over-engineered attic (enough space for 3-4 more rooms if desired) and slate roof, thank you.
Primarily a PR exercise, of course; or as one hardline academic/commentator wrote; “Respect in Iran for religious and cultural diversity is unparalleled...” - https://www.iranintl.com/en/202510164997If only the country was as tolerant in its actions as it claims to be in words.
sightengine.com says 99% certain (97% of which is Dall-E).But, yes, cute idea, too. ^^
I'd've hoped their spidey senses would be tingling by the tenth failed "capture"...
Also, also, "Go West!". : /(There was voting for property-holding women on an equal basis to men in New Jersey, although that only lasted a few decades...)
Cute... : )But not so smart for not asking himself why his future self didn't vanish the second the hammer fell. ^^
The temptation to oversimplify into "x bad, y good" is unfortunately overwhelming and increasingly being taught thuswise where first-hand witnesses are long dead.My father (when not accidentally gatecrashing SS reunions) mentioned one incident at an early 1960s conference where a friend profusely apologised to the Bornean contingent for past colonial sins. Awkward silence followed, then one member informed them that his tribe was one of those targeted by cannibals before the British arrived.
It's more complicated than "punishment for failing to meet quotas" (not stated on the original photo, afaik) and even less humane.Hands were a form of currency as the junior soldiers in charge of meeting quotas were also threatened with death unless they killed the workers "responsible". Proof of doing so was in the form of their hands and, as a result, hands were often "harvested" from non-workers to make up a shortfall.=> https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/father-hand-belgian-congo-1904/

2020, Crystal, MN; https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2020/01/07/corn-spill-forms-smooth-path-on-minnesota-railroad-tracks/ Looks like someone messed up when erasing the (c) message and/or smoothed out the corn with a filter for whatever reason. (That ain't no yellow brick road, anyhow. : )
An upstanding pillar of the community, indeed.
