Been looking at a lot of telephone poles. Most of them just have typical assortment of three cables, presumably for split phase + neutral (I think?) electricity, but some have a third or fourth cable not held by ceramic insulators like the rest. Wonder if those additional cables are genuine telephone lines or something else.

I drove over a bridge today and looked out at a pretty wide river, flanked by forests on its banks. All of the trees had shed their leaves so the forests had the appearance of a tumbleweed.

Speaking of bridges, the other day I drove past some construction being done on a highway interchange. From what I understand, newer elevated highways are made entirely of concrete spans, but this one I saw had steel members supporting the road above it. I wasn't sure if it was a new steel supported bridge, or maybe maintenance being done on an older highway.

When I was a kid those types of bridges were pretty common but most of them got torn down by the mid-90s

Yeah, not one of those. There used to be one where I lived as a child that was converted into a pedestrian bridge, but that's besides the point. I meant these sorts of elevated highways.

Anonymous 12/31/23 (Sun) 16:05:45 No.2460

>>2459
Most likely they're using temporary steel supports before they pour new concrete supports. Who knows though. Where I live they've been working on the same highway for 15 years now and nothing ever seems to get done. Highway construction is a big scam. If they don't use up the entire budget this year they don't get the same amount of money the next year.

On the topic of bridges, I passed beneath another. This one had thick, heavy metal chains hanging slack from the bridge that then linked to concrete blocks set into the sloping inner edge beneath the bridge. It looked something like this. Wonder what those are for. Anything structural I would imagine as being taught and probably using braided steel cables instead of heavy chains so I can't really thing of what these might have been there for. Dampening to prevent the bridge above from moving too much? I have no idea.

That's a weird road at 45:17. Two lanes feeding into one lane that is wider than usual, but still not wide enough for two cars. Seems like a planning error there, but they don't seem to be going very fast so it's probably fine.

To be fair to the PRC, visitors of most places won't see any rough/bad parts because there's nothing for visitors there, and are mostly residental (this is excluding rural areas, which can get really bad, even the touristy stuff there gets horribly sad). The worst you'll see is some unhappy people in certain cities and binge drinkers in northern China.
There's a lot you can say about those commies and living under them but they make it an alright place to visit.

Or they're based around sport, which again interest depends on demographics generally but not as much so.

i guess sport does replace traditional festivals. We're like the old age romans watching people beat one another up and then partying

They probably do like >>2144 says.

But also we are probably under the impression that many Japanese festivals are much more widespread when they are not, they are still just local events that any nation holds.

I think you also ignore the large religious festivals like Eastern and Christmas and the National holidays and whatever Thanksgiving day is.

My hometown dedicates an entire week to festivals. Sadly, it's probably going to stop soon. 2020 they didn't have anything and 2021 there was great debate on doing it but they still did although the turn out was very low. We used to have two separate weeks in the year for festivals but we haven't seen anything happen during the earlier time of the year since around 2012 as the town dedicided to not host them anymore yet raising city taxes claiming it's for festivities when they've been cutting and gutting more each year. Quite sad.

Yes but two of those aren't Germanic, Dragons are but they are in other places as well and I a not sure if Germanic dragons have wings or not and I don't see why that makes Germanic mythology dead. Though yes it is dead and has been dead for some time, I would not really count Asatru as a living continuation either.
