Strolling casually through the city center rekindles an appreciation for everyday existence. The lively street views and small, lovely details inspire greater enthusiasm for routine moments.🧹Mushroom Pasta The mushrooms are fresh.
Somalia's federal troops and armed opposition groups clashed in heavy fighting in Baidoa city center, a local resident and an army officer told Reuters
one thing i love about summer in serbia is brands randomly showing up in the city center and giving out free drinks
a few days ago i got to try a new schweppes flavor
today they were giving out sparkling water from a local company
do you have something like this in your country too?

Our seniors helped build Florida. They should never be priced out of the state they call home.
In Sun City Center, we had a direct conversation about lowering insurance costs, protecting taxpayers, and expanding opportunity for every Floridian. While David Jolly pushes higher taxes and bigger government, we’re fighting to make Florida more affordable.
Thank you to Representatives Mike Owen and Will Robinson, Pastor Green, and everyone who joined us.
Kyiv is under a massive ballistic missile attack again, with cruise missiles expected in an hour or less.
Reports of fire and damaged apartment buildings in the city center.
This time, I'm going to a safer place.
@mrdanielback Probably I couldn't say it is Friday, because I have work everyday. But I love wednesday, because if I visit a city center it is less crowded.
The Boring Company is now running TWO Prufrock tunnel boring machines simultaneously beneath Nashville, and the engineering happening underground is insane
Prufrock-MB1 and Prufrock-MB2 are actively mining through extremely strong Nashville limestone
Core samples collected throughout tunneling have consistently tested at around 14,000 psi compressive strength
And removing all that rock is an engineering system by itself
As each Prufrock cuts through the limestone, excavated rock is continuously carried away from the boring machine through a conveyor system running through the tunnel
The material reaches the launch site, then moves through the vertical cassette and vertically stacked conveyor belts before dropping into the rock pit at the surface
So while the machine keeps advancing underground, there is an entire continuous system behind it moving excavated limestone out of the tunnel
Two machines
Two parallel tunnels
Two continuous rock-removal systems
All operating simultaneously
And this is only scaling from here
Prufrock-MB1 has been continuously upgraded as it tunnels, with TBC reporting consistent week-over-week performance improvements
Lessons learned from MB1 were incorporated into MB2
Now Prufrock-MB3 is scheduled to arrive in Nashville this month, incorporating what TBC has learned from both machines to make it significantly more efficient from day one
This is how The Boring Company is scaling tunneling:
More machines digging in parallel
Continuous excavation and rock removal
Rapid hardware iteration
Improvements carried directly into the next machine
Higher production rates with every generation
And all of this is being built for Nashville’s Music City Loop
The system will connect downtown Nashville and Music City Center with Nashville International Airport, with the airport-to-downtown journey taking roughly 9 minutes
More than 40 stations are already in various stages of planning and design
TBC also has authorization for up to 25 miles of tunnel within TDOT right-of-way
And the entire system is privately funded.....zero taxpayer dollars for construction or operation
Elon’s vision with The Boring Company goes far beyond digging a single tunnel
The goal is to take transportation 3D for cities built in 3D
So...bigger idea is to make tunneling something that can scale: deploy more machines, dig simultaneously, iterate constantly, increase speed, drive costs down and eventually build enormous underground transportation networks beneath cities
Nashville is starting to show what that looks like
