Man, the way she bounced off that stone wall a few times (not to mention bouncing off the sand/stones/ whatever's under the water) I'm sure she has some lovely abrasions and bruises after that.

Yeah, gently caress that. I drove up Pike's Peak in '98 or so and it was a white knuckle trip at times, even at normal speed.

Norilsk is hell on earth. Literally a City where you can't breathe the air or drink the water because of the amount of pollution. The land is scorched for miles in every direction. I'd like to post more but I'm phoneposting rn so it's a lot of effort. Just do a bit of searching and you'll see just how dystopian that place is.

There is enough platinum in highway roadside dust (from catalytic converters) that it would be considered a fairly high-value ore if there were more of it.

Beef posted:Sort of? If I remember correctly: It's not self powered and there is a counterweight car coming down when one goes up. The subway in Haifa, Israel (only one in the country) is the same, except it's underground. The slope changes significantly from one end of the line to the other so the station platforms all have different levels of stairstepping and the car interior changes from stairs to a sort of sloped zigzag.

Here we can witness two packs of wild bulldozers fighting for scraps. Also, like tortoises, the bulldozer has difficulty getting upright if one tumbles. We can see the amazing social intelligence of these beasts when bulls of the same pack help each other out whenever that happens. Truly marvelous. e;f; beaten
