Join the cast. Drive less. Ride RIPTA. ๐ Inspired by the dramatic intros of reality TV, The Real Riders of RIPTA puts a #transit twist on the #RealHousewivesOfRhodeIsland, starring the real people who ride with us every day โ with a little humor and Ocean State attitude. #RHORI
On the first real beach day of the year in New England, as you circle for limited beachside parking, a reminder that 100 years ago you could hop on an electric streetcar from cities like Lowell, Lawrence, and Salem straight to the beaches of Plum Island and Cape Ann. ๐๏ธ
Fun fact.
Only around 0.0000001% of the map of No Manโs Sky has been explored: it would likely take over a million years for the entire human race combined to get over 1%.
That statistic is mind-boggling, and mathematically, it is completely accurate. The universe of No Man's Sky contains 18 quintillion planets (specifically, 18,446,744,073,709,551,616).
The game does not store pre-made maps. It uses mathematical algorithms to generate planets instantly as you approach them. Spending just one second on every planet would take you roughly 585 billion years to see them all.
