Minnesota is set to become the third state to completely ban underage marriage in all circumstances. https://www.willmarradio.com/news/gov-walz-to-consider-bill-to-ban-underage-marriage/article_0b260628-904c-11ea-be00-f337abd84cb0.html It's surprising how many states still allow it and how much it still happens. Glad to see my home state pass this.

Inceltown posted:Killing a lot of mosquitoes is BAD. So much of the food chain relies on them the knock on effects is catastrophic. Stopping malaria is pretty good though. nah, that's been looked into. Mosquitoes actually do jack poo poo for the food chain, they don't pollinate a lot and aren't a significant fraction of the die for any particular species, if we got rid of all of the mosquitoes there wouldn't be a huge change, let alone getting rid of the 1% that carry diseases also I think cspam is generally in favor of getting rid of the parasitic 1%

Not so much happy as soothing, but I was just doing some tidying and I came across this youtube. A guy using magic technology restored and 4k's very old films. I've been watching this for a few minutes: it's shot from a trolly. San Fransisco, April 14, 1906 a Trip down Market Street

Elephant Ambush posted:This is stunning. Yeah, I saw it a while ago but having it in 4K is fuckin raaaaaaad. Just seeing it with sound and at realistic speed was the coolest loving thing, not to mention the pure atmospheric immersion of it all, it's not showing you anything specific, it's just "hey you know Market Street right? Well what about Market Street MINUS ONE HUNDRED YEARS". Almost unheard-of in period media, just to get what amounts to 12 uninterrupted minutes of urban dashcam footage is like the greatest thing I've ever seen

This is why lately my big guilty time-wasting hobby is to just gently caress around at random on Google Earth. Because it now has 3D imagery in like a majority of urban areas around the world, and tons of placemarks for monuments, restaurants, shops, parks, mountains — everything. Each one has up to 20 photos contributed by random people just carrying phones and taking candid pictures. So I find myself using those photos for this kind of immersion, to find out as much as I possibly can about places in the world that I'll probably never go but I want to know better than "a name in a book I read once". I want to know what, like, pizza looks like in Belgrade. I want to know what a bakery in Yangon offers. I'm finding out poo poo there's a street in downtown Tegucigalpa that's as lined with TGI Fridays and Burger Kings as any city in the US, and Mérida is a gigantic Phoenix-esque grid of suburban homes with hardly any zone differentiation. You can put yourself right there and give yourself as close to the same experience as any local person might have going in and ordering food as has ever been possible, just because people like taking pictures of their dinner with their phones. It fuckin owns

I like to go to random rear end ends of things like the northern most point of some big Japanese island, or find some mountain lake in China that has a road nearby and zoom in and find that it's a big tourist spot and people post all kinds of photos etc. It's a fun thing to do now and then. The other night I just did street view of some random place in Kazakhstan just kinda strolling around looking at stuff. It was very neat.

im having the hardest time with that Market Street video because my brain keeps wanting me to think that these people are actors on a set, like the long intro to some movie or something, because everything looks so clear. It's really loving cool. e: and everyone's so animated and everything so orderly-chaotic

the number of people almost hit by a car or horse is nerve wracking. it doesn't help that there at least one jack the ripper in every frame. old timey cops are hilarious but considerably bigger than most people edit: this video is 16 years older than my grandmother InsertPotPun has issued a correction as of 14:29 on May 14, 2020 |

InsertPotPun posted:i don't think it was staged, i think there were gawkers. it's a primitive google car What it makes me think of is that despite how quickly it looks like cars became popularized when you look at it in a history book, what we see in that video is a world in which cars and horse-drawn buggies have been coexisting for a decade or more, both moving at a walking pace because why would you go any faster, and everybody has developed their daily routines revolving all around them. You've got errand boys slipping in and out between cars and trams, guys in top hats stepping off car sideboards and threading their way across the street timing it so they pass behind a car just as it passes by a goods cart and opens up a path, etc. It's just normal, daily city life and what has been that way for years. Another decade and those cars would be routinely moving like 10mph faster than they are in the video and the horses would be all gone, but it would have developed so slowly and gradually to that point that it's a whole street full of frogs who have been in the slowly warming water for so long that probably most of them would react angrily to the idea that anything needed to be changed or made safer. It's just fine! Always has been, always will be!

The 1908 earthquake was actually in 1905, a common misconception. It was named for a former mayor or alcalde of San Francisco, Don Hernán 1908
