I don’t want to ride a donkey down there, but also am car skeptical. Maybe high speed commuter rail in the canyon could be artfully and sensibly done for our weird superfuture. I bet there would be amazing archaeological and geological discoveries in the construction process! With the rail system in place it would be foolish not to build some kind of sustainable coworking space with integrated living quarters and it would be trivial to stock a bodega with wholesome, all-natural foods and beverages. Hiking supplies too!
This feels like one of those European translated turns of phrase. Like in Dutch there is a phrase that translates to “monkey sandwich story” that is used to call somebody a liar.
This is why it’s good to have some kitchen/dish gloves. And if you can get them with extra long sleeves, the better. It’s actually worse if the nasty water gets inside them 🤢
I once applied for a job at a plasma donation center. They keep their sample freezers at -40°. During the interview process the hiring manager was going over basic info for the job and when they went over the freezer they said “And we keep the freezer at -40°C. I don’t know what it is in F though.” I then explained that they’re the same at -40° and that’s why their job posting doesn’t list the unit. They then acted like I was incredibly stupid and told me that “no, there’s a formula to figure it out. I don’t remember the formula but theyre definitely not the same” I didn’t feel the need to argue the point further so I just dropped it and moved on.
I never got a call back from them. I’m 90% sure that’s why I didn’t get the job since Before that point they were telling me how they thought I’d be great manager material.
I still get mad every time I think about it. Jokes on them though. I since learned they were a terrible employer. I got a way better job than that place like a week later.
It’s not mysterious that they meet somewhere. These are linear functions so they can’t help but meet at exactly one point (or zero if they were parallel)
