I don’t know who created this in image, or poster, but it’s more hopeful than accurate.
This is amazing, promising, technology… But from what I’ve read, still experimental, and not yet a cure.
The last line is only partially true, and that’s one of the problems. The way it works is by targeting and excising the material on an almost cell by cell basis, with the help of computers so it’s not as slow and tedious as that sounds, but it’s still quite specific.
Not only does it miss some, but while it prevents that particular bit of DNA from reproducing and spreading, it doesn’t leave anything in place to stop the disease returning via reinfection, which can happen from different cells in one’s own body.
They’re working on it, and hopefully it will become what it promises.
I don’t mean it isn’t first… It would be first, if it were ever built, but according to my pal Google, it hasn’t been.
An architect came up with the idea in 2015, but while he was still researching a glass or other material strong enough to create the immense roof, able to resist the water pressure at such depth, the plans and drawings went viral on the Internet.
It turned into a myth, with sites like blogs and Facebook pages posting the images as though it were already in existence, even reporting on ticket prices, probably confusing it with the real, above ground, international tennis arena in Dubai.
Now some people are trying to revive the idea, but building costs are estimated at three billion dollars.
Dubai has lotsa money, and if any country can come up with that, it’s probably them. But really, aren’t there some people they could feed instead?
the two 3s in the question at the bottom count, and they probably do.
Which I’m guessing is what you counted, Alexi?
Plus… Maybe we’re supposed to count the three dots and/or the three bands of service in the little wifi symbol after AT&T… But they’re not numerals, so I didn’t. Still… An odd coincidence that they both represent three, no?.
And there’s something blurry in the very upper right corner that could be a teeny tiny number three, but I don’t think so.
That means some people count as many as 24, but I think I’ll say my answer is 21.
Where I see…
the original 19
3:33pm and 33% ….. That’s 5 threes.
8 more in the 12-digit number below that, makes 13 threes so far.
On the “phone buttons”… The usual #3 and also the #8 are both 3s, and so is the little I of GHI… Plus three more on the asterisk button.
That makes six threes.
Those six plus the thirteen already found make nineteen.
Yeah, coincidentally most likely. But I never saw the additional numbers, I only saw the “21” when my cursor hovered overtop it :: it was only when I opened the photo in a new TAB that I saw anything in addition to the base.
I did take my old dog back to some of our favorite places. But he still had a few more months.
When my pets are too old/weak, or too sick and can’t recover, I have them euthanized, while I’m holding them close and crying uncontrollably. Then I have to try and drive home through the tears. With an empty collar and leash. The collar goes in a shadow box, with photos, and perhaps a favorite toy. My hallway is lined with them.
With our last dog, I was laying on the floor at the Vet’s stroking her head and back. I didn’t stop when she went to sleep, but kept it up until she was gone.
I’ll probably do the same with our present dog, Panda (see my avatar), and like wise, will be an emotional disaster driving home.
These are 19th-century British police truncheons. These hand-painted sticks served as a constable’s official ID. The royal symbols, like ‘VR’ for Queen Victoria, proved the officer had the crown’s authority to make an arrest.
I used to have some wooden bobbins for lace making… Not enough to actually make lace, nor would I know how, or have the patience.
I collected them because I love lace, and they were beautiful little bits of turned wood, some embellished, so as to be identifiable by their owner, and by their place in the complicated pattern.
While quite different in some ways, and certainly in size, it’s funny how much alike truncheons and bobbins can look at first glance.

All dressed up and nowhere to go…
“I don’t know who you are, but by Jove you’re a good-looking fellow!”
Who’s a good boy?

Hey! Gimme back my stick!

Um…. Sort of. Not quite.

How many takes did they need before she could do this without getting a heel caught??
I love this one! I have it saved from years ago when StelBel posted it on Ballard Street.
I found out then that it’s actually a somewhat famous example of early special effects, from a silent film.
I saved the info about it, but now I can’t find it… And it’s not turning up again when I search. &@#$!
But I do have another version of it, as well. A bit longer, so a bigger file…. Hope it posts!

Sorry, but no it isn’t.

Just natural progression. it will all be back tomorrow…/s

It’s just one log jam after another.
I googled this to try to find out where it was, but I only found it on sites of images that supposedly are not what they seem.
All were explaining that the boats were not really in the sky…. and that we’re looking downhill, and the boats are in the water.
Until that was said, I never saw it as the boats being in the sky… It never occurred to me that we weren’t looking down at boats in the water.
But now that it’s been explained to me, I kinda see how the boats could be in the sky. All the explaining worked backwards on me.
Now see it!
Which?
Floating boats!
In the air.
Funny cos I didn’t see it either till it was pointed out….
But these sites assume that’s what we see first, and it’s confusing.
Nope. Definitely on water

That’s one way to get a massage…I wonder if he ever rolls over and does the other side?
They say that cats are liquid…

I would.
But it should be a happy farewell!

I bet I know this one, but who is the film crew in the background?..
14?
15
I count 21.
Okay… 19 that I’m sure we’re supposed to count…
2 more (making 21)
Which I’m guessing is what you counted, Alexi?
Plus… Maybe we’re supposed to count the three dots and/or the three bands of service in the little wifi symbol after AT&T… But they’re not numerals, so I didn’t. Still… An odd coincidence that they both represent three, no?.

Where I see…
8 more in the 12-digit number below that, makes 13 threes so far.
On the “phone buttons”… The usual #3 and also the #8 are both 3s, and so is the little I of GHI… Plus three more on the asterisk button.
That makes six threes.
Those six plus the thirteen already found make nineteen.
Yup.
It is also the name of the photo.
LOL… I didn’t see that,
Just checking it now, I see that the file name starts with 21, and then a dash, before more digits.
Makes me wonder whether it refers to the solution or it’s a coincidence. At least they didn’t call it “21 3s”!
Coincidental…

It must be the ears…
Don’t you prefer her humanoid form?
I remember her humanoid “form” very well, but she was just tooooooo catty…

That’s how it always should be done.
I always did…sob…

Nice! – Were you supposed to recognize the lawfulness of being beaten up?
Well, at least they didn’t shoot you.
