Przez rzekę Amazonkę nie ma ani jednego mostu. Mimo że Amazonka jest jedną z najdłuższych i najszerszych rzek świata, na całej jej długości (ponad 6400 km) nie zbudowano ani jednego mostu. Wynika to z kilku przyczyn: rzeka płynie głównie przez słabo zaludnioną, gęstą dżunglę, brzegi są niestabilne i bagniste, a poziom wody i szerokość rzeki drastycznie zmieniają się w zależności od pory roku, co czyni budowę niezwykle trudną i nieopłacalną.

🌁 Wielki Most Danyang-Kunshan w Chinach to wiadukt będący częścią linii superszybkiej kolei Pekin-Szanghaj. Jego długość to 164,8 km, co czyni go absolutnym rekordzistą. Dla porównania, jest to dystans większy niż odległość w linii prostej z Warszawy do Łodzi.

🇬🇧 Ten photos from a bike trip to Tuchola and Koronowo (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship). July 21, 2025.

Trasa/route: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/310760391

Wąska gruntowa droga przez rzadki, mieszany las.
Prom przez wąską część jeziora przybija do brzegu, na którym przed biało-czerwoną barierką czeka dziewczyna z rowerem z dwiema dużymi, czarno-żółtymi sakwami na bagażniku.
Na tabli krętego jeziora o brzegach otoczonych lasem płynie biała żaglówka ze zwiniętymi żaglami.
Głaska asfaltowa droga przez las.
Pomalowany na biało wysoki most z metalowej kratownicy przekraczający wypełnioną drzewami dolinę.
Ubita i gładka szutrowa droga przez las. Po lewej stronie drogi rosną sosny, po prawej brzozy.
Szutrowa droga dla rowerów przez rzadki sosnowy las. Między drzewami po prawej widać kawałek biegnącej równolegle szosy.
Zadaszone stoły z ławkami w miejscu odpoczynku rowerzystów. O stojak przed wiatą oparty jest ciemnoniebieski rower szutrowy z dwoma dużymi białymi bidonami i sporą torbą pod siodłem, na której przyczepiona jest jaskrawożółta wiatrówka.
Zacieniona szutrowa alejka wzdłuż płynącego po prawej stronie kanału.

Hello Fedi friends!

Today marks a really special occasion: I’ll be speaking at in Lyon as part of the presentation… discussing how I use their amazing tools for .

It’s hard to believe I had only installed it 158 days ago (according to my Mastodon archive) https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210

Thanks to @yunohost I have been able to self-host my own & instances. I’m incredibly grateful to them ❤️

The point is that the person I'm replying to is bringing to the "fediverse" the very worst of Twitter.

Her entire usage of the Fediverse seems to amount to emphatically writing, in the , about how she's... using the Fediverse to write about how she's using the Fediverse to share about how she's using the Fediverse to...

...ah, right: to escape from (and I quote) "the " and "right-wing ".

One would not suspect an ulterior motive, were it not for the fact that, according to her WIkipedia page, she "is the founder and editor-in-chief of a now-defunct website that aims to provide 'positive role models' for young girls" and founded "a platform empowering companies and organizations with innovative tools to measure the gender gap", as well as having self-produced a "documentary about the marketing of unattainable beauty ideals around the world" so maybe it's a bit of a serial thing?

I didn't want the Internet and I certainly don't want the Fediverse to be captured by this kind of individual.

In other words, I think the individual in question is a very refined sort of (political) spammer and profiteer.

I would ordinarily just ignore the post, but renotes occasionally catch me off-guard.

I do apologise for that, a grownup ought to be able to ignore.

Właściwie mógłbym zrobić , bo jadę trasę 100+, ale to tylko szybki wyjazd na małe zakupy w Bydgoszczy, tyle że trochę dłuższą drogą, przez Koronowo.

Zamiast relacji łapcie zdjęcie drogi dla pieszych i rowerów na dawnym moście kolejki wąskotorowej, którego fotki tyle razy już tu wrzucałem.

5/3 part 0

Are you the project manager for time? I asked.

“You be RIGHT there, lass,” said the small, round fellow with clock-face eyes. He looked like a gnome-gremlin crossbreed. “How can I be helping?”

“I’d like to make a small change to the spec.”

“RIGHT… Don’t have time for yer nonsense, lad. Good day.”

“Have time for a drink with me, Jack Daniels?”

“Black label, the good stuff. — Don’t mind if I do. Just a wee sip.”

Definitely some leprechaun too, I thought.

— § —

“A weeee changy pooh here, and weeeee” — the dials in his eyes spun madly — “weeee change thereee.

Part 48: EP 4: 1937 Amelia Earhart.

10/11. Saturday excerpt (optional word: most) 10. Colour

We approached Amelia and the signal fire. Its flames gave off no heat, chilling us instead.

Stopping a few feet from Ms. Earhart. My prepared speech froze in my throat when she spoke.

“See the clouds?” She asked, staring at the sky that rimmed the ocean. “I’ve always loved flying in their midst and wondered what they said. I imagined them whispering their guarded secrets: ‘Life is short; soar.’ If there’s a God, surely he must speak through them.”

She raised a ghostly hand and pointed to the mist moving across the moon. “Tonight, they say, there will be an end.”

Her hand dropped, and she turned toward us. “You came to rescue me?”

“No. Just to visit.” I said. The comment was deliberately cryptic. I wanted to draw her in slowly.

“Then I’ll have to wait for a ship,” she said.

Emily spoke next. “There won’t be a ship. Nobody comes for you.”

“Then they’ve given up? Forgotten?” Amelia’s voice was thin. The last word was edged with despair.

“A hundred years from now, they’ll still be searching. You’ll still be inspiring women to be bold. That’s your legacy,” I said.

“Legacy,” her voice now laced with pride.

“Noonan?” she asked.

“He’s dead, too,” I said.

“So this is the end they foretold.” Her hand swept, taking in the sky. “Not a rescue, but death.”

“It’s time to soar. The clouds want to share their secrets with you.” Unlike her usual pragmatic tone, Emily’s voice held deep compassion. It touched me.

“You no longer need wings.” Emily continued. “Let go of the earth and take flight.”

A smile touched Amelia’s face for the first time. “Thank you. I didn’t realize. But I’ll be back. I want to be the first woman in space.”

With that, she faded. rays streamed from the moon, illuminating her. Then they were gone, and with them, Amelia Earhart vanished.

All that remained were the -like embers of her fire. -bright that winked at us.

Java seems to get a lot of hate

Well, lots of people don't like it. Actually according to StackOverflow's 2022 survey, more people who have used Java don't want to keep using it than those who do want to keep using it (54% vs 46% roughly). So yea, you are in the minority in that way.

Meanwhile Rust is well-liked by most people who use it (roughly 87%).
