This is the turbo supercharger system in the P-47. Many aircraft engines used mechanically driven superchargers, often connected directly to the crankshaft, with multiple compressor stages and two-speed transmissions. Conversely, some designs incorporated turbo-superchargers, powered by exhaust gas pressure. Turbo-superchargers, having numerous advantages, didn't require direct coupling to the engine. For instance, the turbocharger in the Republic P-47 fighter was a full thirty feet behind the engine, tucked away aft of the pilot in the rear fuselage.

I think I saw that pic here and asked about a link which I got. I bought the poster from the link. It was shown on etsy maybe and it was dark sepia. I thought the sepia was so people didn't copy and print it. Nope, when I got it the sepia was very dark, like furnt orange dark. The poster is not pleasing at all. I wrote the guy and asked about that and he told me that he thought buyers would like the 'old' look.

Well, it was way too dark so I threw it away. $25 down the drain. Just letting you know. It's a great photo.

The snow shovel handle is the handel on the floor jack. The shovel scoop you see is the mirror of another car.

Very cool, there are more out there. I tried ALT + 162 and didn't enter the leading zero and came up with "ó". I'm guessing an accent symbol.

Love, love, love XKCD. I was introduced about 10 years ago and spent the next few months going through every one from the beginning. Because I'd seen them all, and my job changed, I stopped hitting it daily, so I probably need to go back through several years worth.

Osborne Sherry. Billboards with text are not permitted in Spain, at least, that's what I was told when I was there (and it's a fantastic rule/law). So to get around that, Osborne Sherry puts those bull silhouettes up quite a ways off of roads. They are enormouse. And that's the "ad"
https://images.vivino.com/thumbs/QS9...pl_375x500.png

I feel certain that I saw one where there was a bull on top of a hill, and then a matador silhouette on top of a neighboring hill. I thought I had a photo, but I can't find the scan of the photo, and I can't find an image online anywhere.

Another cool/unusual image from Spain are the giant barrels that are outside of some places.

I've done it for a long-running dev work on a front end where the shared libraries were updated/changed several times, as well as the framework behind it. Working with Angular2 and the top-project level angular.json and related files as well as version control for the imports absolutely sucks, no matter what source control system you are using on your end.

The beauty of git is that it doesn't require a service, it can work across directories or even just a plain old ssh account on a remote box somewhere.

You're correct that Spain outlawed billboards with text along highways in 1988. But most of the bulls didn't have 'Osborne' on them when I lived there in my youth ('71 to '76). The branding was strong enough that the image alone was enough.

My brother and I used to play in the Castillo Manzanares el Real. It was just a forlorn old castle ruin that no one cared about at that time. It didn't look anywhere near this good, trust me.

The Luddite is strong in this one, but, WTF does any of that mean?

Is a "flat cat" similar to a "sail cat"? I.e., When a cat has been run over, dried out, run over, dried out, etc., so many times that you can use it as a frisbee?

I suppose you could build a stand for a sail cat. Probably better to lay it flat on the ground, especially just outside the garage.

'LITTLE EASE' THE TOWER OF LONDON
Little Ease' was the most infamous prison cell, located beneath the White Tower, at The Tower of London.
The dark windowless cell was 3 ft 11"~ meaning that while an adult human could be placed inside, any occupant was prevented from standing, sitting or lying down.
It was impossible for them to find any ease, any physical position of rest or comfort.
The inhabitant was forced to crouch in solitary confinement for days or even a week, before being released for interrogation and torture.

The story of Little Ease begins with a prison break from the Tower of London.
In 1534, a man and woman hurried past a row of cottages on the outer grounds of the Tower.....
They had almost reached the gateway to Tower Hill and beyond that, the city of London - when a group of yeomen warders on night watch appeared in their path, and stopped them.

The man was a fellow yeoman warder John Bawd, and the woman was Alice Tankerville, a condemned thief, and prisoner.
Yeoman Warder John Bawd admitted he had planned the escape of Alice Tankerville “for the love and affection he bore her.”
For his assistance in trying to help Alice escape, John Bawd was destined to enter the Tower record books.
He is the first known occupant of the infamous cell used during the reigns of the Tudors, and early Stuarts.

Alice Tankerville was hanged in chains, at low water mark upon the Thames.
John Bawd after his stay in the Little Ease cell, was to be racked and hanged.
⛓ The most famous prisoner of them all to be held in Little Ease, was Guy Fawkes.
Charged with plotting to blow up the king and Parliament, Fawkes was subjected to both manacles and rack, to obtain his confession and the names of his fellow conspirators.
After he had told his questioners everything they asked, Fawkes was still shackled hand and foot in Little Ease, and left there for a number of days.

After that final burst of savagery, Little Ease was no more.
A House of Commons committee reported the same year as Fawkes’ execution, that the room was “disused.”
In 1640, during the reign of Charles I, torture was abolished forever.
There would be no more forcing prisoners to crouch for days in dark airless rooms, no more rack or hanging from chains.
And so, this closed one of the darkest chapters in England’s history.

I'm not a coder, so this is going to be pretty basic. I suspect you'll be able to understand.

When you write a program, it's built over time of a bunch of parts. And while you're writing it and adding and updating parts, you test them. "Git" is a program that allows you to keep track of all of the parts and what order you put them in and any modifications you made to any old parts. If you make a change that's a problem, or maybe 10 changes back there was a problem, or maybe there are 10 different people all working on the same program and dude #6 caused a problem 12 changes ago, git allows you to track all of the changes and if necessary, you can "reset" back to where you were.

Here! This'll clear it right up!
