The opposite racing direction doesn't work. It was discussed for the COVID double races - all of the barrier entrances/exits dace the wrong way and can't easily be changed.

They also lack run off areas when running in reverse.

Not the exact map, but definitely showing the same thing (and a reputable source).

It is a huge amount of damage, but it is relatively contained (for now). I can't imagine you would feel safe in one of the undamaged areas though.

There was a map somewhere that showed all of Gaza and indicated damage and destroyed - they seem to be focussing on destroying various small(ish) areas pretty much to the ground.

I assume they have intel on tunnel complexes there, or just want to be able to flatten enough to have 'safe' areas inside Gaza?

It's definitely a Russia style invasion style they are going for, not caring about collateral damage at all...

Edit: I can't find the image so I don't know if it was actually reliable

You got a doctor's appointment that quickly? Well done!

I thought swimming was meant to be a 'safe' exercise (drowning excluded)

Some bookcases downstairs, a mirror and then a selection of displates (art printed on metal, basically flush to wall and no horrible picture frames)

Art is a mixture of abstract, negative animal landscapes and abstract landscapes + one LotR Moria door above the staircase...

Im going to piggy back off this - does anyone know of any reputable carbon capture schemes?

It seems like removing carbon directly should be completely measurable and auditable so we can be sure it's actually having an impact?

In answer to the post - offsets are a scam, even the well intentioned ones often have side effects and the market is set up such that the bad ones get all the money.

He is top far left? The man to the right of him though?

Could be priest guy from the first book?

Oh, how they handled their phone devision was awful. The original "how would we build a new phone OS from scratch" bit was awesome though

I was going to comment the opposite - you full your house with furniture that fit in your car in flat pack form, but when you come to move, none of it fits any more!

There are some book/literature focused instances that might have communities you could be interested in.

A general "books" instance: https://literature.cafe/

And the instance I'm on (https://sffa.community) for science fiction/fantasy stuff

I don't really read much non-fiction, but if you want something entertaining and kinda sciencey look at the books "What if" and "How to" by the XKCD comic's author: https://what-if.xkcd.com/
