In Europe big cities all have the tourist part and the “old town” part.
To add on to this. Quite often there is a neighborhood that is a bit away from the touristic center, a bit more shabby, used to be ‘bad’ part of town. Often those are more vibrant with less tourist traps and fun bars and restaurants that are visited by the locals.
In the days before his death, Russian draftee Alexander Samoilov repeatedly called his brother and said his superiors were threatening to kill him if he didn’t confess to a crime.

I think they do not know this themselves. France had already implemented a black list on DNS level. F.i. library genesis links cannot be reached through standard DNS.
I figure they think that that’s not oppressive enough.
I think it’s told as the second person being a psychologist, which is also a bit weird, visiting a random psych in a city you’ve never been to, not mentioning your profession at all and him suggesting you should see a clown a treatment.
I didn’t mean the economic reform, but the re-ordering of the states.
If you’d like parts of a country that is overbearing to split off and become countries of their own, that’s quite an effective method, wouldn’t you say?

That’s a bit of a strech. Most of what people consider to be communist states haven’t archieved much to further stopping smoking. Cigarettes are way cheaper, and that doesn’t slow down the consumption.

I’ve read about a system where excess energy from solar panels is stored as energy in an underground reservoir.
I’ve tried finding an article, so to see if it included your heart pump idea. I think it may be feasible, but I’m not sure how efficient the system would be.
So I’m quite interested, but cannot be of more use, hope someone gives you more of an answer.
To be honest, that pressure storage is from the link the other guy came up with. The idea I’ve read about was about storing thermal energy in underground water, more akin to your original plan.
But I could not find the link to where I read about that, unfortunately.
One topic that hasn’t been raised in this thread is the effect of photography on artistry. Due to having a medium that could, well, photographically depict reality, painters changed in the way they depicted reality.
In the beginning expressionism, pointillism and so forth became more prominent. It was not recreating reality, it became infused with the emotion of the artist. Van Gogh, for instance, did not do realism at all, but showed how he felt through his work.
Later styles got more abstract, like cubism, dadaism and surrealism in the beginning of the twentieth century. Later abstract expressionism, minimalism and pop art.
So photography changed the way painting was executed, it forced the artists to reinvent what painting was.
New media change the meta, that’s what’s most exciting to see. How people will find new methods of expression given the updated tool set.

At the same time I was more enthused with the tought if the world would have changed as much from the worms’ perspective. I don’t think the siberian flora and fauna have changed very drastically. Probably the mammoths were still around back then, and that would be the most important change. The climate might be different.
