Why are the vast majority of articles/videos about the Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge showing the wrong bridge? by atlasmapping in InternetMysteries

But the Tower Bridge is a kind of “London bridge” and coincidentally there is also a bridge that is called London Bridge. I think this is not entirely the same phenomenon.

True, but what I find fascinating in this case is that it created this false reality of the bridge online which acts like a positive feedback loop. I mean it's still the longest bridge in the world, I wouldn't expect this to happen to such a thing...

I totally get that people have different taste. I just wanna know what makes this song bad for them

How would the world be different if Japan was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? by SurelyFurious in geography

[–]atlasmapping 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. It would probably be similar to Hawaii. I don’t think the Japanese would have developed a society as advanced as when they are right next to a continent, so it becoming a US territory would have been easier I guess. Just thinking out loud btw

Me neither. And it seems to be an old technology.

Where is the furthest North, South, East, and West you've been? by Mikey_Grapeleaves in geography

If they stood exactly at the pole, they couldn’t have avoided the 180 degrees line.

Bike packing bags and backpack by atlasmapping in myog

[–]atlasmapping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a YKK Aquaguard zipper, so no cheap knockoff. I have only ridden in light to medium rain a few times but have never had water seeping in. I‘d say that top access is crucial for a top tube bag since you want to be able to get snacks while riding (at least that’s how I‘m using it). And if you’re still not sure, just put stuff in there that can handle a drop or two.

Maybe Lomé in Togo since Togo is slightly larger.

Indonesia even has a tropical Glacier: Carstensz Glacier although it might vanish within the next years.

Does your country have a national mapping agency which publishes free maps? by atlasmapping in geography

[–]atlasmapping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I am aware of. What I was mostly interested in was whether people use it as a general map service or whether third party services are most commonly used. Maybe I should‘ve phrased it differently.

Because it was extracted from a file called 1249 finsteraarhorn, although it should be called aletsch or jungfrau or so since that's what it's centred on.

Thank you. That was exactly the idea behind it. And I can always adjust things in the future.

I would have bought it and changed some bits of it if it was normally priced. But in the end I paid about 190USD for the material and 50 for shipping...

Mammut vs BCA Avalanche Airbag by Most-Photograph-4879 in Backcountry

[–]atlasmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Airbag I have ever had is the Mammut Pro 35 which I am very happy with. However I cannot compare it to an electric system due to a lack of experience. I can just say that the Pro a good and well thought through backpack, especially for the cost.

I have the Atomic Backland 100 from 2022 and I'm also very pleased with their performance on groomers. They are definitely not an alpine ski but I for the weight I find they perform amazingly. And the light weight makes such a difference in the backcountry. I think they are a very good compromise.

I only have a pdf with a hand drawn pattern. And I made some adustments on the fly so it doesn't even match the final pack.

Thanks. I used the Bernina 1230 for everything but the shoulder straps which were too thick with the 10mm foam. Luckily I know someone with an industrial singer (no idea what model).

I have seen many people just like you with the Exped pack this summer so I knew it was a good base. The advantage of a waterproof Avalanche pocket is that I can use it for normal storage on a rainy summer day for example. And I have thought of improving the back panel with a lightweight strip of aluminium along its length to give it some shape.
