I’m not so sure, I better go check for myself!

JAWNEHBOY , in That time I went on the world's largest indoor Ferris wheel, and it was just as underwhelming and weird as it sounds.

What was underwhelming? Nothing much to see around from the top?

Ok, I’ll bite. Where did you grow up that you have never seen snow?

To be fair, “hammered” is more accurate. You had my interest piqued though, with “punched”. I was half-expecting some ancient Shao-Lin kungfoolery. Still, impressive and a neat effect, I agree. 🤙🏼

Kittybeer OP ,

Ha! That’s funny. I almost said “pierced” but went with “punched” instead. I think that word was in my head after reading this: “A close inspection of the following photograph from the lower temple illustrates that the holes were ‘drilled’ and not just randomly punched as one might assume.” from a website I just read: www.ancient-wisdom.com/maltamnajdra.htm because I couldn’t remember which temple I took this picture at.

Goodness that looks expensive. Makes sense, Ashgabat is known for decorating well.

Dude, is the hole still burning?

@thrawn21@lemmy.world avatar

Very cool, I’ve always wanted to visit Longyearbyen. How long did you stay and what all did you do?

BjornFree OP ,

I stayed quite a while, and did as much as I can. :) I got a long-term place to stay and used it as a kind of workation. The bandwidth is great (5G), and there’s a good mix of heavy storms and awesome weather, so it’s good to stay a while to be able to wait for the good days. Some people visit for a week, and all they see is a blizzard and plane delays. But when it’s good, it’s excellent!
