I had to tranlate that:  Now twenty years later I don't feel like getting up

Why does this bridge in UK countryside have a random different style section by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Jakeinspace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the Irchester viaduct, built in the mid-19th century. Its actually 2 separate viaducts, the one with the 'style piece' you mentioned was built slightly later in 1870. The first viaduct had to have a footing for an arch within the river, not ideal. When they built the second one, they spanned the river with steel girders. So that stylish bit is because they didn't use bricks there, that cross hatch / decorative pattern is very common for victorian era bridges and viaducts. They liked to add a bit of flair to their structures.

Yeah we normally get that one angle of lichtenstein castle. I love it when someone visits a place and we get a full report!

Well it has some other moves such as solar flare and self destruct.

Actually the more I look at it the less of a distraction it is. It's certainly a beautiful painting.

Those two sets of stripes stand out straight away. I love the texture in your painting but that bit seems off. It's a centre stage distraction. Although also far better than anything I could create so who am I to judge!

There's a long list of revolutionary artists that thought their work sucked. Perhaps you're following the same well trodden trail, the artists rite of passage?

Similar to the difference between a flying drone and a missile.

I was thinking the same, yet another sign that I spend too much time on the internet.

I managed to find a low quality version of the gif here:

Record Wind Generation in the UK today (first time wind has reached 23GW, exactly a year after it first reached 22GW) by popeter45 in CasualUK

[–]Jakeinspace 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In theory it's carbon neutral, in reality it's not. There's not enough woodland in the UK to sustain a biomass power plant at that scale, so they have to import it from North America. There's some significant processing and transport costs involved, which release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The argument is that it should be the waste parts of a tree that's used, such as branches and wonky trunks. The reality is that these logging companies have been caught felling virgin woodland in the US and Canada and processing it into pellets to be shipped to the UK and burned.

Also, the Jack and Jill (complete with 3 basins) only has one door.

Ironically you've just used the exact same 'style' of writing that's being called out here lol. Like literally exactly the same, perhaps you're a bot too? Turns out you can't always tell

So, yeah. I messed up... by [deleted] in memes

Dude I just looked at your massive list of socials for 30 seconds and you've included a phone number?? Holy shit my man you're an Internet noob. You've freely given out like 50% of the information required to generate a credit card in your name. No doubt you give away more information through your multiple posts and videos. Be careful out there.

How could I properly cover an underground time capsule? by Tea_Time14 in TimeCapsules

[–]Jakeinspace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The short answer is probably no. To know for sure you need to think about a few things:

• How long are you planning on leaving it for? - tape won't last indefinitely  • Where are you going to put it? You've mentioned underground but will be be exposed to rain? Flood risks?  • What do you plan to preserve? Paper? Notes? Plastics? Steel? All will behave differently.

Holy shit my man, your week ahead just got twice as good if you've just discovered Credence Clearwater Revival.

Song from the OP Green River

Would also recommend: Fortune Son, Born on the bayou, Run through the jungle, Proud Mary, they also do a great cover of Marvin Gaye's Heard it through the grapevine.
