Train fanatics are the most uninspired boring people on the planet.
America is a space fairing civilization that pioneered and democratized commercial passenger flight. Nobody on earth could accomplish what we have done.
Only in America can you travel 7,000 miles round trip, from Seattle to Miami, with a travel time of 12 hours and in relative comfort (delta seats actually recline unlike other airlines.) It's unbelievably affordable too, a minimum wage worker could purchase access to this incredible feat of engineering if they just applied a half decent budget for a month.
Frankly flying should be MORE expensive to keep the uncivilized riff raff out.
People posting these stupid "passenger rail network" maps as if it's an own are retards. You are worshipping how easy it is to use a camp fire while we use gas stoves.
The network of planes flying around the US at any given time is possibly one of the greatest feats of engineering ever created.
We live in a different technological era than you.
@JGrantGlover The Masonic Temple, unfortunately demolished but it legacy lives on. John Burgee and Philip Johnson took inspiration from it for the U.S. Bank Building (formerly 190 south Lasalle)
you need to be word-of-mouth maxxing. you need to “have a guy for that.” you need to be calling in favors. borrowing tools. you need to be the guy people call when they need a hand with something. bubs, homies, guys, dudes, good old boys. your circle of buddies needs to be huge
@belovedaristo @1000yearhouse Right on but you have them backwards. Tight rings indicate natural old growth that should be left untouched. Wider gaps in the top 2x4 come from trees grown to be harvested for lumber
Of all the reasons to have wanted Mayo to win an All-Ireland, Lee Keegan was right at the top. But would the medal change much? Men have won All-Irelands that weren't a fraction of the player. Keegan turned up when he was needed. That's a fine legacy

Weeding is a natural and important process of any library. It’s rarely left solely to the judgment of librarians. Most of your favorites can be saved by checking them out periodically
This latest European heatwave is once again revealing the footprints of forgotten architecture via "cropmarks." The stark contrast between healthy and parched vegetation traces the foundations of historical buildings, gardens, even ancient henge structures https://t.co/X0m5bjVPGv
If we look at the buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, or the food we eat, we must acknowledge that all are provided by others. None would exist for us to enjoy and make use of were it not for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
