@pukerrainbrow@Space_Station@SpaceX It’s still the only lab in operation for the western world until commercial stations come online in the coming years. These experiments aren’t 2+ year endeavors, so they won’t have to be cut short due to the life of the station, so why waste time and available resources waiting?
@SatyamInsights@historyinmemes Literally my first twitter/x use in years to see how it’s going, and I didn’t think there would be this many bots on the first post I open, I’m surprised I’ve never seen them on reddit.
Maui, USA burned to the ground.
Kelowna, Canada is now burning.
Florida ocean water are boiling.
Los Angeles hurricanes crashing.
Greenland's ice sheet is collapsing.
China's rivers are drying up.
Europe is on fire…
And you still believe that, “climate change is a hoax.”
This is Adolfo Kaminsky. At the age of 17, he became a member of the French resistance following the tragic loss of his mother to the Nazis in 1941. Throughout World War 2, he dedicated most of his time to operating in an underground laboratory located in Paris, where he skillfully fabricated passports. His remarkable efforts are believed to have safeguarded the lives of approximately 14,000 French Jews.
"I'll always remember our biggest request for documents: 300 children in 3 days. It seemed impossible. I had to remain awake for as long as I could, fighting against sleep. The math was simple. I could produce 30 fake documents in an hour. If I allowed myself to sleep for even one hour, 30 lives would be at risk. My greatest fear was making a technical mistake, overlooking any small detail. The fate of a human being depended on each document. So, I toiled relentlessly until exhaustion overcame me. Upon waking up, I resumed my work. There was no room for us to pause."
Kaminsky passed away in January 9th, 2023 at the age of 97.
In @BarbieTheMovie, the Moon's orientation places Barbie World between 20 & 40 deg North Latitude on Earth. Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 & 30 deg. The Sun & Moon rose & set over the ocean. If it’s in the US, Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys.
While trying to recapture his runaway chickens in the 1960s, a Turkish homeowner stumbled through the wall, revealing an abandoned underground Turkish city, now known as Derinkuyu,
Derinkuyu is the largest excavated underground city globally, burrowed more than 280 feet beneath the Central Anatolian region of Cappadocia. It is believed to connect to over 200 smaller underground cities discovered in recent decades.
Inside, researchers found 18 levels of tunnels containing various facilities like dwellings, food storage, stables, schools, wineries, and a chapel. The city also had a ventilation system to provide fresh air and water.
Its exact construction date is uncertain, but ancient writings dating back to 370 BC mention its existence. The city served as a storage place originally but later transformed into a secure bunker to escape from invaders, designed with narrow, low hallways and blocked doors with movable boulders from the inside.
While the architects remain a mystery, it is thought that the Hittites and later the Phrygians contributed to its construction. Derinkuyu reached its peak population of 20,000 during the 7th-century Islamic raids on the Christian Byzantine Empire.
After two millennia of use, the city was abandoned in 1923 by the Cappadocian Greeks, who fled to Greece after the Greco-Turkish war. Today, Derinkuyu is a UNESCO World Heritage site and welcomes curious visitors keen on experiencing life underground.
