People “desperate for any job” are actually desperate for money and willing to work for it. They won’t take an unpaid position, what are you thinking?

I don’t think these positions will remain empty. Corporations will send a few lobbyists to check if the cost/power ratio is beneficial and if so, just flood the department.

Various flowers, such as tulips, definitely hate moths.

We’re trans-friendly here, you can come out

Edit: I interpreted the two pics as a two-panel progression

The dates are stamped in so I would trust it

You can taste it right now just by licking it…

Make sure it’s not been freezing the night before.

I know, this one is shorter and has mechanical brakes. Not as great but I imagine the Czech one, one of the largest in Europe, has very few English-language sources that could have pointed it out to him. I don’t know whether the Claughton one cannot be ridden or Tom is just squeamish about safety (see description) but the Černý Důl one definitely can, that’s how they do routine inspections.

Raise it straight up in the air and say “Addi-nau-seum” into the microphone, then quickly point it at the TV.

I found a cool way of ad-blocking back when I watched TV. Probably does not work anymore, and relies on Teletext page 888 (closed captions, the number varies by country) not being updated during ads.

1. Mute
2. Switch to another channel and back to clear Teletext cache
3. Turn on fullscreen Teletext, any page (I like the 89x test patterns)
4. Type “888” as the page you want to go to
5. The TV will now wait for 888 to be broadcast, which only happens after ads and trailers
6. The program is now running with captions. Disable Teletext and unmute if you want sound instead.

An early version of the Petřín ropeway in Prague used to contain tanks in both cars. The upper one would be filled with sewage collected rainwater from the city’s hilltop quarter and the energy of the descent was used to pull the other car up. Additionally, the way up cost twice as much so there was an incentive to ascend on foot, which was about as fast despite the incline.

in the description. Meanwhile, that fat dude from Vrchlabí jumped into a moving bucket of one that is faster, 2.5x longer, at deadly height, and his only plan of getting down safely was a mattress. He acknowledged how illegal and dangerous it is and yet publishes the video with his full name.

Just accept it, Tom Scott was being way more cautious.

I hope OpenTTD devs consider adding gravity-based electric transportation of heavy loads as an option

Not very smart that they waste all that energy in mechanical brakes. See my comment (the one with the picture) for a way bigger and electricity-generating ropeway, including a video of a guy less squeamish than Tom Scott riding most of the 45-minute way up.

Amateurs.

The 1963 Černý Důl – Kunčice nad Labem aerial ropeway is over 8 km (5 mi) long, over 30 m high in places and carries 135 tons of limestone every hour from a quarry to the nearest train station. Its 120kW 3-phase synchronous motor requires power for a few minutes at the start and end of each day when most of the 800kg-capacity trolleys are empty, and spends most of the shift generating mains electricity and acting as a speed governor. Unlike the EV, it is fully autonomous most of the way, only 5 people are required to operate it. (Loading, unloading and timed dispatching is automatic, arriving/leaving carts just need to be checked; a safety latch has to be manually dis/engaged on trolleys passing the check.) The quarry will continue operation as long as it pays off, then the ropeway will be scrapped (projected 2033). A dude illegally rode the way up on it somewhat recently. He could have fallen to his death if he pulled the latch.

Also, half of the QR code is filler (notice the repeating pattern), it could have been much smaller.

It’s not pretending to be genuine

That’s mild, I’d say every Israeli in the yellow region shoild GTFO

Yup, that’s the problem.
