Canada is Larger than China

You should try installing a tap valve on one.

Canadian is one of the nicest flags imo.
It's good they don't have some partial English version bs.

New Zealand is changing their flag soon.

 

[Mudcat]

Yap. I believe they are getting rid of the old one which is too much like Australia and going with a kiwi-bird that shoots lasers out of its eyes.

Pablo Escobars son advocates against drug trafficking, opens up about lavish cartel life: It gave us the world, and then it took it away


The son of Colombias King of Cocaine has dedicated his life to reforming drug trafficking the illicit trade that made his family so wealthy, his dad once burned $1 million to keep warm.

Sebastian Marroquin, the son of the late cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar, initially vowed to avenge his fathers 1993 death and then decided to advocate against the cartels instead.

It's just too delightful to be ignored

Vladimir Putin's 2 segment piece with Charlie Rose on 60 Minutes ---> I thought he came off well for the most part.

 

[Mudcat]

It was interesting to see Donald Trump on 60 Minutes. His plan is to basically cut everybody's taxes way down while spending loads of money on everything from rounding up every illegal immigrant - plus building a super deluxe wall on the Mexican border - to waging more war in Iraq - plus fixing the whole infrastructure.

Way less money in + way more money out ---> what could go wrong?

It's impossible not to be embarrassed for Americans that someone like that is taken seriously for half a second.

And he also wants to break NAFTA and start trade wars with China, Mexico and anybody with anything competitive to offer.

I guess the main saving grace is that most of what he wants to do isn't within the president's powers anyway. If he actually tried to follow through on his promises, he would be repeatedly blocked by Congress/the Supreme Court yada yada. It would be funny to see how a Trump presidency would actually go.

But stupid.

but Muddy, pal, have you seen the other candidates?
Besides, all these guys are doing is applying for a spokeperson/pr position.
Do you think the people with wealth and actual power would let any of these clowns make an important decision?

This photograph shows one of the few places on Earth where an international boundary can be seen at night. The winding border between Pakistan and India is lit by security lights that have a distinct orange tone.

Awesome. Looks like CAD drawings though. Is that really going to happen somewhere?

 

[Mudcat]

They have been proposed in Iceland but haven't happened yet. My best interpretation of what I read: could still become reality.


Giants walking the landscape :

 

[Mudcat]

Oh. Maybe they won't be happening. Honorable Mention it says


An architecture and design firm called Choi+Shine has submitted a design for the Icelandic High-Voltage Electrical Pylon International Design Competition which proposes giant human-shaped pylons carrying electricity cables across the country's landscape.

The enormous figures would only require slight alterations to existing pylon designs, says the firm, which was awarded an honourable mention for its design by the competition's judging board.
