Tune into 89.9 fm when you see signs for Death Valley on Highway 395 near Owens Dry Lake and you’ll get an interesting experience.
The Sonic Division of Metabolic Studio in Los Angeles placed wired up one of the old Pittsburg Plate glass factory silos. They even broadcast it on the internet.
Villa Vie Residences was one of the cruise ships spawned as a ‘cruise forever’ package. Sell your house on land, buy one of the residences cabins, and sail around the world – forever.
Well, only a few years later, all 200 passengers were forced to depart in Cambodia and were told the party is over. The company running the cruise are citing the ever-rising cost of fuel that went from an average of $1800/passenger to between $6000-8000/passenger. This simply wasn’t viable anymore.
The CEO claims to be trying to find new partners, but it just left port with just the crew and is likely headed to Singapore where it is likely to become property of the receivers as it files bankruptcy.
The search for Noah’s Ark has been a long storied one. Crazy long in fact. Irving Finkel has revealed period cuneiform writings about the great flood.
Currently, every few years, someone will find something new at the famous Durupınar site near Mount Ararat where the Ark is supposed to have set ground.
Currently, researchers utilizing advanced underground scanning and excavation techniques have uncovered charred, wood-like material buried 30 feet beneath the surface they collected to date and study.
In previous investigations, scans were made using ground-penetrating radar to examine the formation’s interior. The team reported finding what it interpreted as a network of underground chambers and tunnels whose dimensions appeared consistent with descriptions of the Ark in the Bible.
These sorts of announcements have happened often enough over the decades that one should remain cautious, but the current oldest known map of the world is a Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet that supposedly gives a description of the ark (parsiktu vessel). Not only that, it gives details on how to get to it’s wreck – which is named concretely as having come to rest on modern Mt Ararat.
thePOVchannel follows a group of young explorers as they do an intense 3 week rafting and climbing trip down the Grand Canyon. It reminds me of the times I would take epic trips like this – but mostly in the mountains here in the Pacific Northwest.
They do an amazing job of not only the rafting, but also climbing into narrow side canyons and exploring the different geology and archeology in these remote, untouched places.
Hahaha! A pretty accurate simulation of walking in Europe during any of the summer tourist months. It’s no wonder they’re having anti-tourist protests. I’d hate to live with this constantly…
The website makemymove helps digital nomads find a spot to move – by listing locations that are offering incentives for people to move there. Some places offer free local club memberships, business assistance, housing incentives, and even cash. There’s a surprising number of them in Indiana.
Thinking of leaving it all behind for a cheaper living? Here’s the places money is moving too…
Moving abroad is a process, but here are 4 countries that are relatively more easy to move to if you can work as a digital nomad.
Wildfires are a thing. They will be increasing as some areas of the country dry out – and due to over-protective conservation efforts that have led to unhealthy, overforested public lands.
Watch Duty gives live updated maps based on satellite hotspot monitoring. It can sometimes see hotspots that aren’t there due to smoke covering, but nothing is faster and more updated than live satellite data.
Zoom.earth gives you live satellite imagery if you want to see how smoke is blowing and up-to-date images.
