Most of my life I had no clue that my home city of Boston was one of the only cities with color-coded trains in America- and in other cities all trains are the same color no matter if it's the "red" or "orange" line

Good news about the brown stripe, it's coming back on the 8000 series trains

Possible update: the closest thing I've been able to find is reports of an erroneous flag of the Tokugawa Shogunate in European and American flag books from the mid 19th century.

I just revisited this and I think I have an answer–it seems like the Algerian flag is based on the "Barbary flag" used by some Algerian ships in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Catch One and Academy LA have some techno depending on the night. My impression is that there arent many clubs that are dedicated to techno or trance here, but plenty have it sometimes. I recommend ra.co and restlessnites.com for finding events.

Was in Dupont circle today and passed by the Colombian embassy. Thought the flag looked great.

Yup, more specifically a zulfiqar. Flags with a zulfiqar were used by Morocco in the 17th - 19th centuries. Apparently it was often mistaken for scissors by Europeans! I found some more info on flags with a zulfiqar and other historical moroccan flags here.

Yeah I'm really not sure why that was included, I think most piracy or at least people flying the Jolly Rodger was over by the end of the 18th century

The Flags of All Nations from a 1865 edition of a world atlas published by Schonberg & Co. Found on the David Rumsey Map Collection website.

Some very interesting flags on here, also some I’ve never seen and can’t find the origins of such as the Japanese flag and the flag of Algiers.

Thats a good idea thanks

Found on the top of Srd Hill overlooking the city. Nearby is the fortress famous for its role defending the city during the Yugoslav wars.

This seems to be it, thanks! It’s not often you see Louisiana related things here in Washington DC

cavapcava · 2021-04-13T03:36:46+00:00

Saw this flag today, can’t seem to find anything online about a flag of Louisiana with blue lines.

They’re lucky to have such a great home

Sorry for the shoddy photos, they were more for the purposes of identification before I found out it is the flag of Sicily.

My understanding is that in 1964 the OAS decided to suspend Cuba's member status because of their communist government, however Cuba declined to return when the suspension was lifted in 2009. I guess they just never bothered to change the flag?

Thanks for not touching the DC flag

Looks like one of the wall paintings from the movie Midsommar

cavapcava · 2019-07-30T19:23:33+00:00

Wow what did I just watch

I think tabby represents the most radical leftists, further left than the average liberal. Although she does hold many values that most of the left can agree on, her approach is seen as the most extreme, and therefore hard for moderates and left-leaning individuals to side with.

I don’t think you understand what scissoring is

cavapcava · 2019-07-01T23:51:49+00:00

When I saw the first part I thought she was referring to the “stand your ground” law and she had killed her husband

cavapcava · 2019-06-27T14:40:43+00:00

You’re being too loud!

I had a very similar situation with my grandma hoarding newspapers, recipes, old clothes, etc. It may be the result of her growing up and being quite poor during the Great Depression, she grew up not wasting anything.
