@Kels_316 @liamvhogan This was 10 years ago so they've definitely been bought out by Queensland boomers
@dryobbo @Kels_316 @liamvhogan I found out recently that contrails are avoidable with variable flight paths and creating them has a significant greenhouse effect.

@liamvhogan and two gems from the fascinating genre of Singapore police signs. They don’t mess around with anti-crime communication

@pauldrye @liamvhogan Your limbs might fail if you park there?
I have many questions...
(yes, I know, I am trying to stop being so literal)

@NewtonMark @liamvhogan I’m not clear on the specific context, I just know that my concerns around pilots are generally *not* “too much bureaucracy”. (I’d feel similar around a sign bemoaning regulations for nuclear plants.)

@liamvhogan For anyone that's wondering, the phantom that room contained was this thing, the UK Schmidt Telescope's phantom. It is a specialised electro-mechanical computer, used by the telescope's original control system to keep the telescope dome and its windscreen aligned with the telescope itself. It has since been exorcised from the phantom room and banished to an unused office.
The pointer in the middle of the phantom was linked to the telescope drives, and pointed in the direction the telescope was looking. As it moved it pushed the white arch (representing the dome) and the D-shaped frame (representing the dome windscreen) around. Sensors on the arch & frame were linked to the dome & windscreen drives, making them follow the telescope. The phantom enabled the UK Schmidt Telescope to do real time coordinate tranformations without needing an electronic computer at all from 1973 to 2013.

@drew @liamvhogan it was totally bogus, dude

It gets crowded, especially on a Saturday night!
