I get the frustrations of Moshidon. I couldn’t save a picture from my mastodon account cause there was no direct download, and it took me like 40 minutes to figure it out, and even then I think I just screencapped and cropped it
I also ran into that issue the other day. Did you file a feature request for that? If you didn’t I will. In general though I really like Moshidon. The video player functionality I want is not available in any mastodon client app except for Fedilab technically, but its implementation is still very primitive for now.
Remember to be nice to Moshidon devs (and also other free application devs). AFAIK, the lead developer for moshidon is a teenager, they could do with minimal rant in the void. Cheers!
That’s funny, my phone is kinda small so I had to scroll that horizontal menu with the download button, over to the right to access that button 😆 Thanks for the screenshot
I see nothing wrong with this, at least they conserve the water, which would normally run off. They probably use graded slopes for water retention. Seems way better then 90% of golf courses, but I dont know the specifics
I always love finding the little nuggets, like the fuck is this post going on about, see there is no comments and scroll a few pages and see the post. Or saw it in the morning. Its just small enough that 8 hours doesn’t seem to miss too much content on the first few pages of the “all”.
i often browse at work, which is extremely dull, and i often am at work in the early morning and later in the evening, including on the weekends-- times when it’s dead here. this gives me extra time to really soak it all in when there’s few people around.
too bad this computer doesn’t have photoshop on it.
The ship of theseus was actually a spaceship used by the precursors to reach earth. It was broken down into components which were then reused in human ships both to hide the truth and as part of a secret seafaring cult ritual.
The piece on the titanic accidentally activated during its maiden voyage and attempted to take the ship to the precursor base in Altantis, but since Atlantis was sunk, it took the ship under and crashed into the seafloor.
It was later recovered by the us military in a covert operation disguised as a civilian project and was a key component in winning the space race.
Or they just hired a really good marketing team and now a bunch of people who should know better think that an air conditioned compound with a swimming pool and a golf course at the hottest place on earth can be anything other than ecologically reprehensible.
I tracked down the house I lived in until I was 5-6. I have lots of pictures of it in its glory and I remember it fondly.
It was an old 1800s school building that my parents converted into a house. Very cool building, lots of old-school charm (hehe).
Finding it was a huge mistake. The present owners don’t even live in it, they built a house just to the side of it and use the old structure as support for solar panels, and probably storage for the junk sprawling over the property. Which… I’m down with solar but it’s so sad to see something with so much history, charm, and character… absolutely ruined in under 30 years.
It’d be funny if the officer pulled up the sovcit site, take a single look at the lunacy, and then asked if the driver wanted to open up a fraud investigation for sale of his fake paperwork.
The Titanic had more irregular windows One of the few differences you can spot by looking at pictures of the Titanic and the Olympic next to each other is that the Titanic had more irregular port holes on B deck.
This is because of all the design changes that were made to that part of the ship during construction – it means that the windows were spaced out a lot more unevenly.
On the Olympic, because the plans were unchanged during construction, the windows are evenly spaced across that deck.
More importantly, even if the Olympic sank instead of Titanic, then Titanic continued serving as an ocean liner and troop ship and hospital ship for two decades, so what was the point of the fraud?
IIRC: Olympic couldn’t be insured as it was involved in a collision with HMS Hawkeye; and was found at fault by the Royal Navy. There was also damage that couldn’t really be repaired resulting in an permanent slight port list and it was a floating legal liability. Titanic was insured for double its worth after this and White Star was owned by noted scumbag JP Morgan. Olympic was also being repaired at the same shipyard Titanic was being built at, making a switch that much easier.
My opinion: They swapped the boats in the yard to pass regulatory inspection for Olympic, then swapped back if there’s any truth to this.
To your last point, the reason was that the Olympic was dealing with some manufacturing issues and couldn’t be insured unless it was basically rebuilt for a new inspection.
Instead of rebuilding it, they secretly renamed it the Titanic so it could be insured fraudulently under the Titanic’s insurance, then intentionally sank it to claim the insurance on it. Now they have a good ship (the real Titanic) which will pass inspection as the Olympic, and they have the insurance payout from the sunken Olympic which shouldn’t have been able to be insured.
They lost me forever at “at the last minute”. Anyone with even a slight concept of logistics knows there’s no way they’re just going to swap all the provisions, luggage, load, fuel, passengers, etc. at anything near the last minute.
The red marker on the original image probably is the site of this X shaped marking on the top of the western dark region of the “skull” - OP probably assumed the X was the four edges of a pyramidal shape but this 3d Google Earth view from the western “eye” toward the eastern one shows that the X shaped region is flat and not pyramidal.
