Well lets not forget the scale. It's not the smallest thing in the world.
I'm late to turbine cars, oh well. I don't know the inner workings of them so i'll just shut up and post some cool Chaparrals

They always look like real-life Carmageddon cars and it's hilarious.

With great labour, we will fulfill the plan.

So it turns out that my brother is living at the house that Bram Stoker (the guy who wrote Dracula) lived in when he attended Trinity College. The house number from the Wiki page is off by a few, but I'll leave it ambiguous for reason of not wanting to give out my brothers address on the internet.

Here's some pics of the graffiti he left on the windows!

It's weird to see just how big Tenochtitlan was even in 1510, it looks almost modern with its layout and all of the engineering that went into it
It's even weirder to learn how Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco were rivals for over 100 years, before they effectively merged together. It's like as if one neighborhood was occasionally at war with its metro.

I wonder if you could drift those
You need to lose traction on the rear wheels to drift. Those things are extremely heavy (hundreds of tonnes) and have huge tyres with loads of grip. I doubt they can drift.
The 2j and the sauber Mercedes were literally the bane of my racing existence. If you didn't have the f1 car, or the same 2j/sauber, you weren't winning that race.

Having help from the Pilot probably makes things somewhat easier. Probably a lot of people assuming nothing is up/something above my pay grade when they saw a pilot and two other dudes fucking with the missile. Especially if you're dressed right.
The easiest way to sneak into things is looking like you're supposed to be there in the first place.

That's fucking terrifying, I'm surprised those on the dock aren't running faster
Man that pier is a fucking trooper. It just took several thousand tons and didn't even budge.
The Mexicans are pretty clever. When out of land, just build into the sea. See Netherlands!

I'm noticing a distinct lack of anything from the 70's on in there.

I mean i'd be ashamed of that too but still
cruise ships are a complete blight on the city and the lagoon. they kick up surf and change the natural bathymetry and have forced engineering changes that have all contributed the most, by far, to venice's sinking problem, which otherwise might even be negligible. venice is like the global and historical equivalent of a field of wildflowers trodden to death by visitors. the local residents have all but been replaced by hotels and multinational retail branches and it's now serviced by a working underclass that live across the causeway in Mestre. i feel sadder ever time i go.
Exactly my impression too, having been there twice. Not for 10 years though so it's probably worse now.
The city of Buenos Aires completely switched from traditional sodium street lamps to led ones, here's how they contrast compared to other bordering municipalities:

In a similar vein, you can still see the old borders between East/West Berlin based on the colors of the street lights.

personally I like the orange tone best for evening lights
Speaking as someone who had curtains that didn't close all the way for many years, I feel like blue/white is a bit harsh to have shining through your window at night. Orange isn't quite as bright and is almost kind of soothing, though i don't know if that's purely born out of the fact the streetlamps have been orange for a long time and I associate that color with that time of day.
Out here in the countryside where I live, the streetlamps turn off at midnight most of the time anyway. That's much better.
It's not just you. There's research that suggests it also fucks with animals' circadian cycles. It was so bad where I live that the city had to go back and adjust the color to be a bit warmer, but the overall effect is both visually austere and not the greatest thing for your reptile brain late at night. Hoping there's a shift, using leds, back to those warmer tones at some point. For some reason our inner city parks still have the old sodium lights and they look twice as pretty by comparison.
Couldn't they just put a warm filter on the led street lights?
