It’s common knowledge that parents have experienced childhood at one point. Therefore, teenagers don’t really say “you don’t know what it’s like”. (At least, I haven’t heard it yet). But in this generation, parents haven’t had the struggle of many things that kids are faced with today....
Kinda reminds me of growing up with the DC sniper in my neighborhood, witnessing 911 happen on a crt tv, and seeing a recession start as soon as I graduated high school.
Aparently, I’ve conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.
We do have examples of buildings needing to account for the curvature of the earth.
One that comes to mind is The fountain at the Christian Science Mother Church in Boston…
It’s about a quarter mile long and the water flows evenly over the granite curbs along its entire perimeter. If it didn’t follow the earth’s curvature the water would all just spill over at the middle.
Im very surprised that noone here has mentioned the LHC in CERN Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC or Large Hadron Collider is so huge that it stretches across 2 countries (France and Switzerland) and stretches over a circumference of an impressive 17 miles (27 kilometers). It is so large that when building it they not only had to take into consideration the curvature of the LHC tunnel, but also the curvature of the earth.
You might not be aware but Lemmy has RSS built into it. I just noticed myself so I wanted to check out the current state of RSS clients and well, nothing seems to be quite what I’m after....
X-plore. Its the only one that lets you open multiple folders at once like you would on a desktop computer. It also is a built in FTP manager and will even replace your need to have separate cloud apps like Google Drive and Dropbox.
This morning, I had free time. As usual, opened my Apollo app, only to be greeted by the loud reminder that I am cut off from the community I have lurked, posted and lurked in almost a decade....
I think in 2017 it dropped on the switch. I used to be a bartender and I just finished the scifi book, ‘Necromancer’ so of course I fell in love with this game at first sight.
I’m currently a bar manager and play this time to time to relive my experiences behind the bar. That’s one thing this game does perfect, and that is giving you that unique experience of tending bar and seeing regulars. Same vibe.
I also love the music for this game. Garoad is fantastic and I follow his work.

Kids and teenagers are in a unique generation

due to the curvature of the Earth a really long building can't have walls that are both parallel and level.
Aparently, I’ve conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.
