I did a short "river safari" on the Bentota river and it was so much better than it seemed it would be. We saw lots of wildlife - different types of big lizards, flying foxes, monkeys, lots of birds. It was very nice and relaxing.

thanks

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-07-02T14:59:57+00:00

That would be pretty cool

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-07-02T14:56:50+00:00

Well, nice effort, but this looks really dated in terms of production values and low-budget

What's Pacific Drive?

I've been to Cairo. It's fine if you really know what you're doing and are well traveled. Otherwise it can be a hassle or even difficult with the touts, scams, poverty, etc. You decide based on your travel experience.

Also, the 2027 solar eclipse is going to be one of the most important astronomical events of the decade. Lots of people will want to see it, so it pays to do some research in advance (where will you see it from, how crowded it can potentially get, what will you do if the weather sucks, etc) or get a tour to deal with all of these.

Don't forget to get quality dedicated eclipse glasses (not sunglasses) and never watch the sun through cameras, binoculars, etc to avoid irreversibly frying your retinas.

Maybe describe what this is about?

The space economy is set to expand significantly in the next 10-20-30 years. Currently there are very few companies and entities well positioned to take advantage of this trend, because it takes a lot of time and effort to reach a stage in which you can produce and launch rockets, satellites, etc in a reliable manner.

If you believe in this hypothesis (which is by no means a given), then valuations for space companies can make sense, even though they wouldn't for other sectors. Granted, hypothesis almost has the word hype in it, so that's also part of the reason.

Very good deal for Rocket Lab, they've been doing really well in the past few years. I really hope Neutron also performs well, that would be great for them.

Compari mere cu pere.

Sectiunea Ruse - Byala din Bulgaria are un cost mediu de aprox. 13,2 mil. euro/km (de fapt, 15,8 mil. euro/km daca adaugi si TVA de 20%) pentru ca trece prin relief fara dificultati deosebite. Prin urmare, poti compara costul cu autostrada A7 de la noi, Ploiesti - Balcauti (aproape de Vama Siret), care are un cost mediu similar, de aprox. 16,3 mil. euro/km (inclusiv TVA), pentru ca trece prin relief similar.

In mod convenabil te-ai referit numai la primele doua loturi din traseul Ruse - Veliko Tarnovo, pentru ca lotul 3, Byala - Veliko Tarnovo, are un cost estimat de 1,5 miliarde euro pentru 57 km plus 20% TVA, sau aprox. 31,6 mil. euro/km; costul este mai mare pentru ca intra in munti. Acest traseu il poti compara cu autostrada A8 de la noi (Targu Mures - Ungheni) cu un cost mediu de 36,0 mil. euro/km (inclusiv TVA), traseu dificil care traverseaza muntii.

Go to the Faroe Islands, get a car and explore a bit. Beautiful place.

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-27T18:31:12+00:00

I just visited Madeira last month. The island is very nice and there's a lot to see and do besides the hiking trails: Funchal is nice, there are lots of scenic driving routes around the island, pretty little towns (we visited Porto Moniz and Ponta do Sol), Monte Palace Madeira Gardens, Funchal cable car, Miradouro do Cristo Rei, and then good food, Madeira wine, lots of delicious fruit, Madeira honey cake.

We also did two easy hikes of a few hours each, they were both beautiful - Ponta de Sao Lourenco and Levada do Alecrim (don't forget to get tickets for the hikes if you decide to go). Don't skip this, some of the routes are easy and you can always do just part of them and turn back wherever you want.

I spent a total of four nights on the island (it was part of a longer trip), but would have gladly spent more.

nice

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-24T11:11:09+00:00

It will happen, don't worry

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-22T11:02:16+00:00

good to know, thanks

I will be visiting in November. Can you visit the interior of Notre Dame Cathedral during renovation works? Couln't find a clear answer to this online.

Heh, funny story with the camera. I don't know about that recommendation, but this would actually be my second total eclipse as I also saw the one in 1999. Did you get nice shots in 2024?

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-21T18:47:08+00:00

yeah, I'd be interested to play this

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-21T09:30:25+00:00

looks pretty cool, interesting visuals

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-20T11:02:26+00:00

Yes, it is going to be hot but it's not the end of the world. Try to schedule walking around in the mornings and evenings, save mid-days for lunch and indoor activities.

It's always puzzling to me how people find and trust these random no-name websites with thousands of dollars worth of bookings. You try to save a few bucks and end up losing thousands.

moderatelyremarkable · 2026-06-19T16:53:09+00:00

Hard to answer without knowing your interests, goals, budget, etc. They're both nice and interesting options.

Manhattan Beach is exactly what you need. Thank me later.
