    I always wonder whether those things are part of a daily grind, or carefully scripted one-offs. Plenty of the latter in that set. Still cool though.

    Education is extremely important.

      1. it was disheartening to see how many were actual hacks, to make something look like something else… Why have a brick accent wall? Use this technique to make Sheetrock look line bricks… That kind of stuff…

      2. midway through there was a guy laying pavers at the pool. Rather than just lift the paver, he used some long and heavy looking vacuum device that required him to carry the paver AND the device at a very awkward height. It seems to me that it would have been easier to just pickup the paver…

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    I didn't either. Wonder what Jordan would have done with that.

                        I walked around Jegellonian University in Krakow once. There’s a plaque honoring a famous student: Nicolaus Copernicus.

                          This article sucks. University of Louvain (Belgium) founded in 1425 is not even mentioned...
