@Signor_Pallazzo Spudorata autocitazione :-)

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.

Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

@AleGuerani È un ottimo video: prima di vederlo non avevo ben chiaro il significato di questa nuova parola che usano i ggiovini: "cringe"

@vanabeau Anche i tappeti.
Soprattutto i tappeti.

@unitaonline @SansonettiUnita O tempora o mores, da giovane la distribuivo ed ora mi tocca bloccarla su Twitter per non leggere più abomìni come questo articolo.

@BrianMcDonaldIE Brian, stop publish fake news: everybody know that the real President of Russia is Guaidò ;-)

Il centrosinistra deve parlare di UNA sola cosa in maniera incisiva e convincente in campagna elettorale: i salari da quarto mondo. Invece si parla di primarie campi larghi stretti, renzi e blablabla.

@SprinterPress No shit, Sherlock

Mattarella ha espresso solidarietà alla polizia italiana accusata di profilazione razziale e a Molinari per una contestazione democratica. Niente solidarietà per Francesca Albanese.

Peter Cushing Trivia

He was an avid collector, painter, and wargamer who owned over 5,000 hand-painted figures.

Cushing particularly enjoyed historical wargaming, specifically focusing on the Napoleonic era.

Quando la chiesa cattolica sembra l’estrema sinistra dello spettro politico, è un pessimo segnale per la politica di sinistra.

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

@ASparaciari E tutto grazie all'indefessa attività di Mattarella, che si è prodigato diuturnamente per tutelare una cittadina italiana...

[Foggiagrad @Foggiagrad]

Nei prossimi 10 anni spenderemo quasi 100 miliardi in più per difesa e armamenti. Questo per portare al 5% del Pil la spesa militare. E siccome non si naviga proprio nell’oro stiano andando incontro a una macelleria sociale di proporzioni inimmaginabili.

Bong Joon-ho says he tried to make Parasite (2019) deeply specific to Korean culture, but audiences around the world all reacted the same way:

“Essentially, we all live in the same country, called Capitalism.”
