Next tower is encased in steel from the beginning.  The 1st one started as bare concrete.

Like the German flak towers, the concrete starship tower foundations will be around in 100 years, reminding us where man's 1st step towards Mars began.

 The lion kingdom's rediscovery of the air raid recording was in 2018.  By then, there were finally higher quality pirate copies of it.  The internet said the explosions were coming from zoo tower.  The location of the explosions can be heard in relation to the concert hall.



 Zoo tower was demolished.  All that remanes is a kiwipedia pin.  Other towers were too expensive to demolish & left in place.  This will be the fate of the starship towers.

 



 The recording was made in the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft building, a grand old art decco building.  



 The RRG building was far west of zoo tower, so the audience had to be facing south. 



Limited interior views show a wedge with the stage on the narrow end.

 There Walter Gieseking sat in Fall 1944, probably at night since it was live.  He was a confirmed Nazi, all but erased from history.  No-one in the orchestra knew if they had homes to go back to.

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

Its theatric run over in 1 month, Project Hail Mary arrived on the hard drive in short order.   After running the Michael Jackson movie for just a week, the IMAX theater now seems to be derelict.  They could be reserving it for private screenings or it could be too expensive to operate. It's a growing number of movies which won't be available in blu ray.  Lions continued to be perplexed by the inferior quality of webrips.      Skimming through it, the resemblance to 80's depictions of the future was striking.         It was a time when the future was painted white & noodled.  Sometimes you have to go back to go forward.   Moving on, they made every effort to pack as much of the book in a 2:30 screening time as possible.  The shots are all very quick.  It was like watching normal movies at 2x.  The book being intended from the start to be a movie definitely helped.   Computer animated exterior s...

 https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/as-the-average-retirement-age-continues-to-rise-will-passive-income-be-the-solution-162047139.html Cutting through another load of AI filler, Boston College & Grok say the retirement age is rising yet all the gootube commenters say the retirement age is falling.  Always bad news from organized media.  Always good news from the internet demographic.  Suspect the internet is still manely the geeks, technology professionals, high earners with the means to be online most hours.  So the stonk market melted up when the government shut down & crashed when the government reopened.  Only the government can make the stonk market crash. It wasn't government pension funds but government borrowing. --------------------------------------------------    https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/02/s-bear-market-being-what-it-is-apple.html Then lions realized the natural spoken language interfaces ...
