Soo cute! Absolute marvellous! But which fragerance would underline this fashion statement:
la eau de toilette "piscine vintage" from Jean Continence? orla parfume ... "You're in" from "Depends"? or la extrait de perfume "Hoare attention" from "every pubilicity is good publicity and sons"
Trying not to think of a harmonizing t-shirt pattern..

Hm... i don't want to interfere with someone's business, but would it be possible to try to overcome the fear by watching videos of bridge crossings from a driver's perspective? You may watch it in slow motion, you may successively increse a distance to a point where you dont want to go futher, and you may at any instance pause, stop or interrupt the video, until you have seen the whole trip a few times.. Finally you may use the Kent Island Express as a front passenger, until you get so used to it that you may take teh trip by yourself...

This just tries to circuumvents the anser to the problem, and does not solve it. However if i would try such a trick with my luck, the trolly would sommersault, break apart, the people on both tracks get slain by burning debris of the trolley... while i would also get wounded by gravel fragments ripped form the trackbed during teh derailing... Finally i would get sued for intentional killing of all 6 persons, and criminal damage and unlawful and dangerous interference with rail traffic.

I like brutalism.... I like the design principle "form follows function", which requries not decoration or obstrtuction of the building material. Concrete as a building material is actually not so new when considering e.g the Pantheon in Rome. The Nakagin Capsule Tower has also been an impressive example of brutalism. Even the "Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona has to be considered as belonging to the "beton brut" architecture. However, the tendency to neglect brutalist buildings until they get FUBAR is the saddest part of this particular architectural style.

You can not comprehend the size of the milky way. I even doubt that a human can understand much more than 1 km or maybe 10, but that:s it. Even though you may vizualize it by increasing scales, í consider these vizualisations not helpful, as you only show the scale between two objects that both are beyond comprehension. But you always encouter this kind of problems when trying to vizualize something as large as a galaxy. However, i really like the effect of switching off the milky way, that is a really cool effect, very impressive and really shows how large the void behind the curtain of the milky way really is. .

This is so cute! The kind of suspension in combinantion with the hub motors make this a very simple design. And there are very few different components. I.e. you could simply add 2 or three hub diriven wheel as "spare tires", with a quick exchange coupling. you could also add a kind of switchable freewheel into each motor so you may use a wheel even if in case of a hub motor failure.
And it totally reminds me of "the Luggage", an indestructible, enchanted and sentient chest belonging to Twoflower from Terry Pratchetts book The colour of magic.
And it reminds me of the Arado Ar 232.
