I would assume the 21 - 27yr olds with the "painted on" clothes, the too-short-shorts, and the girls who be out of their tops if they sneezed..
It was the girl standing next to the car with a black and white Spandex outfit. You can go anywhere in the world and go to a beach or swimming pool and see 10x more flesh, but that's ok somehow, I don't get it. 🤔

If people post very interesting machines and people and astronomical objects and cars, that aren't obvious to everyone, they run the risk of being asked what it is! Take it as a compliment!

For example: #10,827

A planer I think, but it looks older than I am.

Yeah the machine, but also wondering how the image itself was captured.
It's a drawing (or illustration).

If you'll notice, the piece of wood is sitting on the lower beams, which in turn sit on rollers. This is so that irregular shaped pieces of wood could be clamped onto the carriage and moved through the saw. A friend has a "portable lumber mill" that looks/works something similar to this.

"Science Series number 5 - Zinc Oxide and you"

How many "Zinc Oxide" objects can you see in that pic?

IE

"the safety valves on your stove..."

You want Zinc? I'll give you Zinc.

#10863. Apollo 1 launchpad. Great to see on the KSC "Early Space" tour, if it ever gets going again. Just watch out for rattlesnakes which apparently inhabit the area.
I have visiting KSC on my bucket list, but I think I'll stay in the bus when they go to that place.

No. Get out and walk around. You don't want to miss that visit. Ground is concrete so rattlesnakes are easy to spot if they are around. You really don't want to miss being there.
just the mention of the word snakes and I'm staying in the vehicle. that's really one of the only phobias in life, and was the primary failure in the creation process, as there is no reason to have snakes on the planet. some people say well we need them to control rodents, well nope, that's wrong. birds of prey are much better at rodent control. 😉

I know someone like that. Even pictures and toys aren't bearable, but I think the way nature works is that whatever can survive, does exist, so good for them. Some birds prey on snakes but I avoid that kind of picture because it isn't polite to watch someone eat 😆. I also hang out in coffee shops and don't want to offend random people behind me.
