I’ve heard that people claim the moon landings were faked, but (until now?) I’d never heard anyone claiming the Martian rovers were faked.

And their unique way of walking

I’m guessing the chairs and mechanical bits were scavenged, but the outer shell was taken off first which is what we’re seeing.

It’s a Lemmy feature that happens when you use the crosspost button.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that’s only cos I’d watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

(You posted this 10 hours ago!? How did I miss it?)

Love to see some more OC here!

So this is on Prince Patrick Island? I can’t imagine how cold it is up there at 76° latitude (not that it looks too cold in your picture).

I love Art Deco too. I’ve been to the Atlas Bar in Singapore which is amazing.

That link 404s for me, is it all there?

Ah, it’s at https://www.amsterdamsights.com/nightlife/tuschinski.html

Thanks! I’d originally found this under the name “Special k” but I discovered it’s Kelenföld and edited in some other links in as you were posting.

Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.

I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

I’ll take “Artisan”!

I’d guess Germany, since it’s a VW and the artist is German, but I couldn’t find anything authoritative saying the location.

This should be be a local link for most: [email protected]

catch and release

Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.

This feels very Star Wars

It could be that it’s more normalised, or that post-Covid people don’t want to share public transport as much.

Whatever the reason, it’s good news as the more cyclists there are, the more that planners will have to take them into account - making it easier for more to become cyclists. Let’s just hope the momentum continues to fuel this virtuous cycle.

I love it, I hop to see more.

Yeah, it’s not very clear, sorry. I’ve edited.

It was $2 million in supplies and materials for the city, but the total venture lost him ten times that.

To be honest, that’s an AI summary of the Portuguese post. I clearly didn’t check it properly before posting and I don’t know much about Ford himself.

Remember Hanlon’s Razor.

e: The Portuguese post seems to be largely based on this Guardian article, that also describes it as utopian:

Ford believed fair treatment would make his workers more responsible citizens and, in the process, solidify a client base for manufacturers. The Rev Samuel Marquis, one the heads of Ford’s employee relations office, once proclaimed that Ford’s cars were “the by-products of his real business, which is the making of men”.

But some of Ford’s social ideas were highly sinister – most notoriously his anti-semitism, which featured prominently in a newspaper he himself printed, the Dearborn Independent.
