@1940Andy I am similarly outraged at that 3-second scene in Narcos Season 1 showing the dashboard of a Land Rover Discovery Series II, when obviously only the Series I was available during Escobar's reign.

@BartGonnissen I rode the 929 from Ostend to Dover in 1989. Travel time was 1.5 hours... plus 2 hours bobbing at sea while they fixed an unspecified mechanical failure.

@MilesTaylor47 @DarioCpx @grok is this real, recent footage of the Port of San Diego?

@paulg Did step two end in 2022, when colleges stopped requiring SATs?

@jasonfried They've been fixing that section for 90 years. I wonder at what point a tunnel or viaduct is cheaper.

@jasonfried And Eero Saarinen. From tulip chair to TWA terminal.

@jasonfried And so durable. Mine still works as new, almost 30 years after buying it.

@Hesamation Sad but look on the bright side: the deep knowledge is largely preserved. In past tech revolutions, it was lost.

The deepest knowledge of saddle-making, or portrait painting, died with its expert practitioners.
