Great picture! I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a modern photo of the Chinampas (that aren’t from Xochimilco) I always thought the system came in desuse way before the times, or that the city someone engulfed most of the lake by the time the technology existed.
Look at that line. Imagine if you were unfortunate enough to be commuting in the opposite direction. No temp construction semaphore to save you from the one way traffic to work.
It never ceases to amaze me just how old the first submarines ever made are/were. They feel like something that shouldn’t even be possible to have been made before the 20th century. Definitely might have to read up on this.
I was originally going to post about the HL Hunley, which was also deployed during the Civil War. It was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship. I got distracted when I came across this submarine while making the post.
The U.S. Civil War was a time of rapid transition from Napoleonic to “modern” war.
The first two hardrives I had experience were not that big, but still required to people to get into the cabinet. A Fujitsu Eagle and a CDC I can’t remember which model that had 5MB fixed and 5MB removable.
A WW1 soldier out in the open? Must have been really early 1914 or late 1918. Judging by the helmet and uniform, probably the latter. Or it’s just propaganda material.
