There's nothing random about having a solid knowledge base about the elevator industry, it's a valuable life skill, and something to liven up any social occasion. Then you take it to the next level - history of trams and streetcars and maybe funiculars

I actually rode a funicular a month ago (island of Capri. recommended if you don't get seasick. not if you do. learned that the hard way.) and the entire time I had that song in my head

There's a Melbourne in Florida, USA. This is very disappointing when you're trying to find cheap US fares to the other one. It looks like the cancer capital of Australia is either Brisbane or Cairns by absolute # of cases (it doesn't seem to have a % of population setting, which would be more meaningful - I refuse to believe that that Alice Springs has a better melonoma rate than suburban Melbourne) https://atlas.cancer.org.au/app

Some folks get seasick on long slow rolls (low positive GM stability, think big ship in weather) other people on short quick rolling periods (high positive GM stability think jet ferry empty at the pier). Is a funicular like the slow rolling period or the quick one?

If you use the blue everybody thinks you're making a commercial for feminine hygiene products A surprising development around here recently is that the animations in feminine hygiene product commercials now feature a liquid that is both red and viscous, instead of the traditional "just blue water". Perhaps in just another 25-50 years people can mention menstruation in public without making nearby males throw up in disgust!

uber_stoat posted:incredible things are happening in China A few years back I was visiting Canada and mistakenly parked my car overnight in a no parking zone. Woke up the next morning to look out the window and see no car, so I googled "car got towed in Montreal" which directed me to a govt website where I put in my license plate number and it showed me an interactive map where my car was, which was just the next street over. They just moved my car to a valid spot and gave me a fairly cheap ticket, which was mind-blowing when I compared it to getting towed here in the US and spent an entire day tracking down which impound lot in some lovely part of town it got towed to and hundreds of dollars to actually get it out.
