You ever been in a bus garage? They have a lovely smell about them, sort of engine oil & hot rubber.

I went to Fulwell garage in Twickenham have a look around when I was contemplating applying to be a bus driver. It didn't happen, but the smell was weirdly reassuring.

Oh no! Just looked and I got the same. Looks like his Twitter has gone.
Michael Nielsen is a physicist and he did a long thread of his favourite megastructures. Everything from space stations to aircraft carriers, what makes them work and why they're brilliant. Articles and pictures galore.
So sorry you've missed the proverbial aircraft carrier.

In a spooky piece of timing, I've recently been reading about something very similar, as in "mega-structures", or as I might describe them, "big things".

The wings at the bottom of the photo is part of the SART, where the USA agreed to chop the wings off them so as to prove they (the USA) had reduced capability in line with SART.

Ha, the B52's made music fun.
A quick look on Wiki & I was surprised to find they are still working - or at least until tomorrow, when their "final farewell tour" ends.....

Good German word, this: Sprechgesang. It's the style of singing Fred Schneider has in the B-52s. Sprech as in Speech and Sang as in Sing.

See also sprechstimme (speech voice),
Opera, and Hip Hop are other musical forms which use these styles a lot
Opera -> B52s -> Hip hop
It's an obvious connection really
[from what I can gather Sprechgesang is more like singing in the style of talking and sprechstimme means talking in the style of singing]

You've met Jon MW, right?
I'm more impressed that he keeps the level of knowledge he has considering it would be expected he'd get routinely distracted by Science Wife.
