The closest thing I have experienced was just after the barriers to the front section of a Pearl Jam concert opened. My girlfriend was standing in front of me and was actually lifted off the ground by the crowd momentarily until the people in front of her were able to move through the barrier. It was very scary trying to keep the people behind us from pushing us over and barely succeeding for long enough. And I'm not small either, crowd force is no joke.

On second thought, let's not go to Coruscant. It is a silly place.

"Mad" Jack Churchill, who fought in the Second World War with a longbow, a basket-hilted Scottish broadsword, and a set of bagpipes.

At a risk of downvote oblivion, this is what comes to mind to me. Keep in mind that this is just what I perceive about India through all the media I've consumed so it can come across as a bit prejudiced. I'm sure there's more nuance.

The good:

  • Amazing food, rich culture
  • Seemingly big into tech.
  • Very colorful.
  • People seem generally friendly.

The bad:

  • So. Insanely. Chaotic.
  • Basic sanitation and infrastructure seem stuck a few decades ago.
  • Female emancipation is lacking as far as I can gather.
  • A lot of inequality in general.
  • The weather seems like hell to me.
  • Even though they're big into tech, it comes across to me that the government and general population is still stuck in the mid 90's regarding devices (pc's etc, smartphones excluded).

Yeah just adding a link to your comment doesn't negate the TOS of where you post it.

Remember download managers?

It depends on where you draw the line (heh) on "straightness" and "flatness". Some planes on gems or geodes are pretty flat, but probably not perfectly flat. Another example is a spider's web between two points. That's a pretty straight line if it's taut, but again, probably not exactly perfect.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Here's an idea: Maybe just drive speed limit.

There are a few prion diseases that are absolutely horrible. I believe one of them causes you to be unable to sleep until you go mad.

At a club, I just asked her "Wanna make out?" and we did. Very weird that worked.
