Was in the Paris metro and they were doing this and there were pristine advertisements from the 1950s on the wall. I teared up when they started scraping them off the wall into the rubble.

How does a dyscalculic layperson request an animation?
War. A time lapse of wars, on a globe map. From as early as any data that is available. It would be awesome also if one could see a flow of conquest and colonization.

Reply to TIL Hawaii is the best place on earth to see rainbows. There are words for Earth-clinging rainbows (uakoko), standing rainbow shafts (kāhili), barely visible rainbows (punakea), and moonbows (ānuenue kau pō). The rainbow is seen as a symbol of transformation and a pathway between Earth and Heaven. by -AMARYANA-
went paragliding first time on Haleakala, and the pro I was attached to and I threw shadows onto the clouds at our level that were rainbow filled. Like, a rainbow in the shape of our silhouette. I don't know the name of or understand the phenomenon. it was just so cool.
