That honestly seems like a neat place to live at, holy hell.
Honestly, this feels like a terrible place to live. Constantly living behind the walls, like in some medieval castle, with almost no greenery, no place for your children to play, no nothing, it would feel like a prison for me. Yeah, it's probably safer to live there, as they most likely have some guards that won't let you in if you don't live there or are not invited, but I'd just like to see something more than a tribune when I look at the window, you know.
I get what you mean, but at the same time it feels really disconnected in a kind of serene way

Correfocs or "fire-run" originates from a form of medieval street theater that represents the fight of good against evil through parades using fireworks and effigies of the devil. #

tbh I don't think it's too different from living in the city.
I'm sure they have tons of shops inside the walls of the stadium, making a shopping commute a breeze. If you work downtown it would be SUPER convenient.
Go to work, come home, pick up groceries or a pizza literally a 3 minute walk from your house. Not to mention bars and other entertainment.

[QUOTE]A Boeing 767 from US Airways with a small black line on the nose, resembling a smile.[/QUOTE]
In the late 1980s US Airways merged with Pacific Southwest Airlines, a major airline in California well known for its staff's sense of humor and [URL="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Pacific_Southwest_Airlines_L-1011_N1079.jpg"]its livery[/URL], which incorporated a smile on the nose of the plane. US Airways completely absorbed PSA's staff and aircraft, and by the mid-1990s no trace of PSA remained.
However, until its own merger with American Airlines in 2013, occasionally a smile could be seen painted on US Airways' aircraft, as shown here - an unauthorized addition as a joke by former PSA mechanics.

Speaking of Jupiter, new Juno pics are gonna start coming in:

[QUOTE]Juno captured this photo of Jupiter about two hours before Perijove 1, from a distance of 703,000 kilometers, at 04:45 UTC on August 27, 2016. The spacecraft had yet to travel over Jupiter's north pole.'[/QUOTE]
Remember that Juno's camera is an afterthought and isn't as high res and telescopic like Galileo's or the Voyager's cameras, however it'll be flying so close to jupiter that we'll still get some of the best images of its cloud tops.

Also higher rez pics will be released later in the week.
I know it's pointless and doesn't achieve any scientific goals but I'd really like to see some photos from within Jupiter's atmosphere.

I don't see how they wouldn't help understand Jupiter's atmosphere.
Who knows, maybe we would end up photographing some kind of weather event unseen from space giving us a whole new perception of the planet. No such thing as "pointless" when it comes to space exploration in my opinion.

Many indigenous groups around the world were introduced to european firearms since their invention, but not all had the means to acquire guns from European traders, instead some groups made their own firearms locally, most were used for hunting but some were used in battle, here are a few antiquated examples.
Afghan Jezail, flintlock (used as recently as the 1980s against the Soviets)
