The 27 temporary gas turbines

There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution.

Well, then feel free to keep your uninformed opinion to yourself.

Not going to lie, scrolling past this I thought at first “Why would someone take a picture of their sponge during cleaning”?

Similar story: Offramp on a highway I relatively often use, starts with a nice and smooth turn until about 2/3 of the way when it suddenly gets sharper by a lot. Going by the speedlimit indicated by the signs at the start of the offramp is fast enough to lose control.

My headcanon is that during construction the measurements where taken wrong and instead of rebuilding the section to properly fit an offramp, people just continued by building a sharper turn.

Also, turns out Geert is from Germany and not the Netherlands.

Fits either way

Everywhere. You have to consider two points: Most light in our nightsky comes from the reflection of sunlight by the Moon. Secondly deep space is not the space between planets or even between the outmost planet and the Kuiper Belt.

It is the place between stars, which is lightyears in diameters and where every star is just a tiny dot in the sky. This is not enough available energy to power our current level of electronics via solar. Which is why i.e. the Voyager probes use RTGs as power source after they left the area of our solar system where solar power is viable.

Not conceive a second?

Well, building cathedrals wasn’t fun either unless you were the guy in charge.

Midwives have been told about the benefits of “close relative marriage”

Nice spin. They do not list benefits but advocate that the risk have been exaggerated.

In that world, what would you use the Internet for?

Pretty much the same as before?

The only giant tech firm from your list I am actively engaged with is Google Alphabet because of Android and YouTube. Apart from that, there is PayPal because of online payments and WhatsApp because of other people. But for both, I have 1:1 replacements already in place to be used wherever available.
