Although I really appreciate this bot since bias is something I try to search for when I read articles, maybe the bot can take up less lines of text. At least for me on mobile, it’s kinda taking up a decent block off a lot of comment sections. Just a suggestion as a fan of this bot.
Reminds me of the Fremen ambush during the sandstorm.
Windows really seem to be a big safety hazard in Russia…
Guess they weren’t fans of the provided reading material.
I hadn’t seen that cross with plumb bobs on it before. Searched and found this for anyone else interested.
For road building and laying out settlements in the distinctive grid patters, the main tool of agrimensores was a device known as the groma, believed to have had its origins in Egypt. This instrument consisted of a long wooden staff, pointed at the lower end and topped with a wooden arm, about 25cm/10" long. This cross arm had a pivot to support the stellata, which was the main part of the instrument and consisted of a wooden cross with plumb bobs at the end. To use the groma, the surveyor set it up where two roads were to intersect at right angles, and used the plumb bobs as guides for laying out a line of stakes or flags. Using the naked eye, these stakes could be constantly realigned, to maintain a straight line as the course of the road was plotted. Source
Don’t be afraid to try odd jobs or go for opportunities that you normally wouldn’t. New opportunities and interests can open up from getting out of your comfort zone.
This was taken at 12:00 AM your time?! I’m always fascinated by sunlight being around at “non-normal” times.
I honestly don’t see what’s ironic about it. It’s obviously a non-profit, which usually operate with volunteers and interns. At least they’re being honest about the internship being unpaid in the title rather than leading people on.
Damn. Going from 8 days to almost 8 months must be pretty shitty news for the astronauts. I get that it’s all defined as a test and these things can happen, but it’s not a good look for Boeing at all.
