Interesting: you know search engines now have an AI component. I was searching for the light cruiser Sheffield. The AI made the following statement, you figure out what is wrong… (should not be too difficult) And just when you think AI did a typo and just put the word “not” there by accident...

I usually don't like taking photos with my phone, but yesterday it was the only thing I had on me. In this temporary fountain, the city projects scenes about Dordrecht's history. It gives a nice effect with the old great church in the background.

Or at the very least some very shortsighted people.

I was wondering about that guy. And this is a huge middle finger to all idiots who judge people for their religion or ethnicity. I’m trying to avoid politics, but you only need half a word I guess.

Or Sebrenica for that matter.

Another interesting site in The Netherlands. This is called the "Waterloop bos". It used to be the outdoor laboratory of our water engineers. The Netherlands is famous for being able to handle water (1/3 of our country is below sea level) and having the best water engineers in the wold. Well...

I so love the look of that aircraft. They don’t make them like they used to.

You are absolutely right that this contributes to warming up. But it’s just a very small part in this. The reason why cities radiate so much more heat than the surroundings is the stone and concrete. More green would absorb energy by evaporating water. No such luck in cities with the roads...

Maybe getting away from all the dirty politics and fighting videos. This Dutch comedy TV show collected 3 million euro to buy ambulances for the Ukraine. Tv-programma Even Tot Hier haalt 3 miljoen euro op voor ambulances Oekraïne Is Dutch, so you probably need to turn on translation.

Indeed. It’s close by, here, so whenever you get here, I’ll show it to you.

Finally a monument using a unique tank. Nothing against Shermans, but this is a Panther D in Breda. It was captured by the Poles who liberated Breda and was put to good use for them for some time. After that, they donated it to the city of Breda. You don't see the model D that often.

There are tools, but I predict it will become increasingly difficult to detect the differences. Tools will deprecate pretty quickly with the rate this is going.

That teaches you not to use Adobe :lol:

That's all fine, but here the soil is silting because rising of sea water levels. It's been accelerating lately as well. And there is not much tectonic plate movement here. Puts a strain on food production etc.

And many other places indeed.
