Is #PontAdolphe suspended active mobility bridge (still under construction, will be below road surface) violating monumental protection? 😱
LVI.lu's Jo Simon reveals the story of his suspended active mobility bridge idea under #PontAdolphe lequotidien.lu/luxembourg/pas…
The men that made possible that we will be cycling in the shadow of #PontAdolphe
IMHO, monumental protection is less an issue than iced access ramps in winter when temperatures below 0° C. Counting on @CityLuxembourg!
Suspended active mobility bridge below #PontAdolphe will *not* be mandatory 4 cycling & walking people, but more pleasant than w/car traffic
Overrally, active mobility bridge below #PontAdolphe *increases available surface* for walking & cycling people.
Active mobility bridge below #PontAdolphe also makes it possible to cycle Gare to Center w/o illegally riding sidewalk on top of bridge.
To be fair, if monumental protection really had been an issue at any time, we should throw out cars of historical center of @CityLuxembourg!
Except buses, cars are *not allowed* to drive over #PontAdolphe *from Gare to Center*. Cycles now are allowed to do this legally! Progress
So the opening is today. It looks stunning.

"Fehlverhalten von Fussgängern"? #alternativefacts

Greetings to RZ5237 van driver, who DID NOT stop for me while I was already on the pedestrian crossing. He saw me, waved, looked away and drove on. True story, happened today
Having clean windows is a good thing, but not enough. Adjusting mirrors equally important. It is crucial to always look what is happening *around* the vehicle

In my experience, lots of drivers suffer of "stiff neck": they don't see walking & cycling people coming from their side
It is agreed that you cannot see everything with the mirrors. But a driver always has the option to turn his head!

Based on my personal observation of drivers creating dangerous situations: not turning the head and having a proper look to check road is clear is very common error

@ChristynRoyce @TrumpPrisonDate @TheRickWilson In 1971, I attended Stockton University, still under construction in Atlantic County. The first year of classes were held in various Atlantic City hotels that were due to be demolished for the new casinos, such as the Claridge Hotel. (1)
@ChristynRoyce @TrumpPrisonDate @TheRickWilson All around us was the dilapidated City, and some more affluent sections. The Mob has always been in the background of growing up in that area. My family moved to Hammonton, NJ when I was 3. We were not part of “the family”, but most of the other residents were. (2)
@ChristynRoyce @TrumpPrisonDate @TheRickWilson My family was Irish/German, and nearly all the other residents in the town were 1st & 2nd generation Italian, largely from Sicily, at that time, and nearly everyone in town were related to each other in some way. “I think that’s my cousin”was a common statement!

False Candidates Influence Operation

At least one account falsely claiming to be a Democratic candidate for a political post exists, and we strongly suspect that their may be more. "Hannah Thompson" here, @/EqualityNation, is not an actual candidate.
Standard online resources such as Ballotpedia.com do not list her as a candidate for either Alabama district 3 U.S. nor State House of Representatives. A quick call by our operatives to the Alabama Board of Elections confirmed this. She's not running.

I keep hammering on about Hyperloop being "re-hashed maglev" but what exactly is wrong with that?

While I'm at it... What even is maglev? Does it work? Where is it working?

If you don't fancy a documentary thread, look away now 🤓
Before diving into a wee bit of the history, it is worth doing a technology recap... Maglev (magnetic levitation) in its most basic form is as simple as it sounds: when you hold two magnets of equivalent polarity against each other, they repel.
When you line up a load of magnets as a track, you end up with an arrangement that resembles an unwound motor, hence the technology that moves maglev trains about being referred to as the "linear motor".

This is one of the most mysterious objects in Byzantine art - the so-called Trier Adventus Ivory, carved from a single elephant tusk somewhere/sometime in later first millennium AD, and today kept in Trier Cathedral Treasury. Let me tell you why it’s cool / much argued about :-D
#1: There’s general agreement that the scene represents an ‘adventus’ or arrival of a saint’s relics — mules draw wagon with two men wearing priesty vestments, carrying a box. They pass under an arched gate (more on that), through street in front 3-storied portico, to group at R
#2: leading the cortege to R is an emperor wearing insignia, diadem and chlamys or cloak secured by jeweled fibula. He meets and hands off a bundle to an empress, identifiable by similar clothing but here with immense pearl borders on chlamys/pendilia hanging from her crown.

Certain facts are routinely omitted from all reporting and commentary on Iran and its nuclear program. What follows is just a bit about what the media either doesn't know or won't tell you about Iran's activities prior to 2003.
The false narrative that Iran had a "robust," "clandestine" & "active" nuclear weapons program prior to 2003 relies on the assumption that Iranian black market purchases of dual-use nuclear equipment (all nuclear tech is dual-use, folks) reveals a "secret" program to build bombs.
This willfully omits the fact that, since the early 1980s, the Iranian government sought international partnership and trade for its nascent nuclear energy program, only to be deliberately denied access to nuclear tech by the US (a violation itself of the NPT).
