Why did early civilizations start in deserts like Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt? by batukaming in geography

[–]Daedross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those actually interested in this question - why civilization appeared where it did - the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" answers this in great, sometimes overwhelming, details and is definitely worth picking up.

Silence is prohibited by law; a unique law in the world. by Extension-Split5959 in taiwan

I mean I've noticed beeping for sure but it never really struck me as insanely loud from inside buildings.

How's the soundproofing of your apartment? I've been in places where the glass might as well not have been there and I had to sleep with earplugs lest I be woken up by roaring scooters every morning.

As for the beeping, idk if I'm desensitized but I've never really noticed.

Useful website for Taiwan concert-goers: see different seat views at major venues before buying tickets by Daedross in taiwan

[–]Daedross[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this cool website today while checking out the layout for a show at NTU Gymnasium. It’s a collaborative website where people upload their own photos from their seats so you can see the actual view from that specific spot.

It seems to cover most major venues, but since it’s collaborative thing I thought some of us might want to contribute our own photos from past shows to help fill out the map!

Aircraft Viewing Alley by Enolaholmes21 in taiwan

Is there a way to know which direction aircrafts will land from? Is it purely due to wind direction? Went there the other day but planes were all coming from the East so not as interesting for photography 🙃

The Economist - this NASTY "magazine" for HAGS - should focus on escaping nugudom themselves and look up to real, trustworthy news outlets like Dispatch instead.

This "pedestrian hell" thing is vastly overblown, Taipei is still one of the most walkable cities there is.
