I didn't appreciate that zeppelins carried passengers within their envelope—I figured everybody went in the gondola, and thought they just couldn’t carry many people. But, no, the gondola was just for the pilot. This setup reduced drag and could carry nearly 100 people at about 80 mph.
Bring back airships! They're as fast as U.S. trains, but don't require tracks, and are really efficient means of travel.
A fun geoengineering project would be to terraform Venus. Reverse its runaway greenhouse effect, render it habitable for humans.
We should do that, collectively. As a species. As a unifying long term goal. Aim to have it completed by, say, 3800 CE.

#Meta will not be pleased that @BBCRD has abandoned #Threads while still maintaining their self hosted #Mastodon account.

Friend of mine who works as a waitress just came down with her sixth #covid infection.
Sixth. Six times.
After 1 week on the blooski site I've earned one (1) invite code.
Up for grabs! First to request it here gets it.
EDIT: Taken.
On the Main Street TTC bus going north to Danforth this morning - packed bus, windows closed. Nobody masking. A guy and his two young kids sat down behind me. The guy coughed openly, not covering his mouth, for the entire ten minute ride, chatting away with his kids between racking, gurgling coughing fits.
I had an N95 mask on, fit tested, and just stared out the window, wondering who'll be taking care of his kids once he's been permanently disabled by long #covid.
Ambled into a Long & McQuade this afternoon. There were about twenty people in the store, staff and customers. One woman - a customer - was visibly (and audibly) very unwell; she was coughing almost constantly. No mask, but she at least mostly coughed into her sleeve, mostly.
This clearly ill unmasked woman who probably had covid wandered through the entire store, coughing, for the full ten minutes I was there, very likely filling the unfiltered air with #covid.
Nobody was masked. Just me.
