You’re right, somehow I managed to miss the tunnel completely… But still, it’s all very clean, neat and lacks any fixtures, machinery, velcros etc. It looks very nice, but not very realistic. But I admit I’m not the target audience.

I seriously doubt it will look like that. Where is storage? Where is research equipment? I don’t think it will be nearly this spacious.

I honestly don’t know how tall I am. I know I’m taller than last time I was seriously measured, but I don’t know by how much and I don’t care. But everyone shrinks during the day anyway. Measuring height to precise centimeters has just a little more sense than weighing someone with precision of ⅒ of kilogram. I have basically no chance but to estimate and possibly round.

Cviridis or whatever they used here? Cviridis (and other scales constructed with the same philosophy) does.

There are colour scales that combine colours and intensities consistently, so that if you discard (or can’t percieve) colour information, you still get a nice black to white scale. For a moment, I though the map used cviridis scale, which has this property and is designed to look as similar as possible to people with various variants of colour blindness. But then I realised that the scale used here has the brightest point in the middle, not on one side.

I thought these were disproved by lack of gravitational microlensing?

Not everyone feels the need to read such articles. I’m glad for this summary. Provided it’s true, but it’s entirely believable.

Frankly? Yes, a bit. I wouldn’t have expected Tesla to make it that high and I would expect Google somewhere near the top. And I guess it focused only on american companies, or I would be much more surprised.

Why are there such high differences around Britain and pretty much nowhere else? I understand why the Mediterranean sea has almost none, such a large volume just can’t pass the Gibraltar, but I don’t understand why there is so much water moving around Britain. Is it just water moving along and being stopped by land wihnout having much other places to flow?

Are we looking at the same pictures? Spain is less dense, but Poland seems mostly denser than rural France and Balkan roughly the same.

Is it, though? Is Spain, Poland and Balkan so much less populated than Germany or France?
