What's with all the memes?
Most are just babble that probably isn't even true.
Maybe start a meme thread for them? I think there might even be one because this has come up a few times.

+1 to this should be pictures of things, not pictures of words, not AI generated.

Machines were also used for the kneading. Like the millstones they were made of porous volcanic stone. They are bowls in which the dough was kneaded by a combination of fixed and rotating blades. A few blades were inserted in the side of the bowl, and a few were attached to a vertical bar. People pushed a horizontal bar that set the mixing device in motion.

Think this is my view of your building from my building.

Looks like a construction barrier allowed to let light in. The could be changing the glazing or just cleaning the building. It does look a little lighter.

Yep. You're in BoA tower? I've got some buddies in that building that work for WM. I'm on the 16th floor. I think at least one of my buddies is on the 26 floor of the BoA tower.

Have you checked out the Epserson buildings?
One made by the husband for his wife and the other made by the wife for her husband or something like that.




The TC Energy Center is one of my favorite downtown buildings with its red granite faćade.

I’m on the other side of your building in Texas Tower. I build interior spaces so I move around quite a bit. Have personally completed projects in your building and TC Energy, my company built the WM space. Neat fact, the 4 sided clock in the TC Energy lobby is still manual and is wound by the security personnel on a regular basis.
