I can't disagree.

I respectfully disagree. People that cannot bring up the discipline to drive sober and keep their attention on the road, even if their jobs would depend on it, shouldn't have the privilege of being allowed to operate a machine that can easily kill when making a mistake or misjudgment.

Deep thoughts.

These projects are awesome! IIRC they swiveled an entire building whilst still in use somewhere in America (Maybe NYC?). Without interrupting plumbing and electricity.

Edit: Found it, it was in Indiana: Indiana Bell building

From the Encyclopedia of Marvels, Life Forms and Other Phenomena of Zamonia and its Environs by Professor Abdullah Nightingale

Gourmetica Insularis, The.

The Gourmetica Insularis is a heterotrophic carnivorous plant, that is to say, one of the very rare family of plants that feeds on organic rather than inorganic matter, like most flora.

The Gourmetica is among the Zamonian life forms that attract their quarry in an unsportsmanlike manner, being related to the much smaller Venus flytrap and the equally rare Spiderwitch. It is capable of transforming itself into a kind of floating paradise in order to lure and fatten its prey in the most ingenious way. A mature Gourmetica can attain a circumference of several miles but needs only 300 pounds [live weight] of fresh meat, or thereabouts, to feed itself for a year. This must be provided by one or more of the highly developed mammals, however, because fish or birds will not do.

The Gourmetica is firmly anchored to the seabed - a blessing on Nature's part, when one considers what havoc a mobile carnivorous plant of this order could wreak in a heavily populated seaside town.

Oh for god's sake

Just recently I had to travel to Germany by train on short notice. The German online ticket portal also wanted my ID and selfie when paying because it was an iNtErNaTiOnAl journey. I just booked it through my local country's international ticketing portal and they didn't even mention it.
