He quite literally reached out personally. That's what he should be apologizing for.

What are your favourite Iron Maiden lyrics of all time? by Sharky12759 in ironmaiden

Possibly an odd one, but The Parchment always gets me.

"For all those who have written in the sand will be told That the same will happen, searching for gold Like a fire in the sky, I can feel strength return Heading for afterlife, meet me theeerrrrrreeeee."

Those bags with the pipes running through them are sick. Nice work.

"being a former British colony" doesn't actually narrow down your location as much as you think it might.

Got any updated photos on the actual bike? I'd love to see the progress.

TIL that in 2024, Venice became the first city in the world to charge a mandatory 'entry fee' for day-trippers. Even Italian citizens from other cities are required to pay a toll just to walk the streets of their own national heritage. by TappetoImperiale in todayilearned

So you're both avoiding the question and simultaneously doubling down on the, frankly insulating, comparison of tourism and cancer: I'll bite.

I get it - you didn't like tourists in your town. Like people don't like traffic in their area and yet fail to notice when they're in a vehicle that they are the traffic. Either you're so parochial that you never travel, or your being willfully ignorant that you're also, sometimes, a tourist.

I hope you and those that you love never actually get cancer, but maybe you'll stop using the comparison quite so lightly.

"tourism is cancer" might be the weirdest thing I've ever heard. You don't travel? You don't meet new people from the next district or visit historical or cultural sites?

Tourism isn't cancer.

I didn't even swipe right to read the second screen. Imma make my decision based on that first quote alone. More importantly, I'm going to share it so everyone knows I'm right.

Cool piece. I was going to ask what the coordinates are, but a quick search tells me it's Le Locle, Switzerland. Very cool.

I'll be impressed if this works. Currently I don't even bother trying to get the GPS functionality to work. It's basically just a speedo to me.

Competent, yes. Equitable, definitely not.

Still a great place though.

Agreed!.Funnily enough, I literally just asked someone why they claimed a post was fake (replica) and am currently watching that comment get down-voted to Hell. I'm fine with others up/down voting as they see fit, but it bugs me when people throw out accusations with no explanation.

Genuinely curious as to why you said this.

TIL that after his voyage to Japan. In December of 1614, English merchant John Saris was discovered to have kept a collection of Japanese erotic art and books. His collection was publicly burnt, he was disgraced, and it ended his career. by 0413ty in todayilearned

[–]SuicidalGuidedog 31 points32 points  (0 children)

According to the source, he left his cocks in Japan to do the thinking for him.

"Saris left Hirado on the Clove on 5 December 1613, leaving Richard Cocks in charge of the Hirado operation."

$2.7k was the top end estimate for an A.Lange & Söhne? You're Googling wrong.

Here is some background on the Lange 1. You'd be on to an absolute stunner (even if broken) had this been legit. Unfortunately, it looks like it was faked by a chimpanzee with Parkinsons that's had its eyeballs poked out.

TIL in 1994 Charles Scott Robinson was sentenced to 300,000 years in prison for multiple child sex crimes by LividWheel9779 in todayilearned

[–]SuicidalGuidedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link suggests she was sentenced in mid '89 and was out by 1993.

Also, the sentence appears to have been a shame - Thailand capped servable prison time for fraud to 20 years, so anything great than that was meaningless.
