The more I look, the weirder it gets.
I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that's only cos I'd watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.
Kelenföld Power Station is an abandoned power plant control room in Hungary. Built in the 1920s, it's a beautiful example of Art Deco industrial architecture and features a dramatic oval-shaped room lit by a large skylight. The plant originally ran on coal but was converted to natural gas in the 1970s. Much of the original control equipment remains intact on the green metal wall panels. A concrete bunker housed an air raid shelter during World War 2, underscoring the control room's role in a critical infrastructure at a turbulent time.
Designed by two prominent Hungarian architects, site is protected under Hungarian law and so cannot be demolished. This does mean it also can't be restored and maintenance is difficult. It is occasionally open to tours and also film shoots, apparently.
Perhaps some Youtube's done a video on it... I feel like I've seen a headline or link saying something like "Why Paul is underrated" recently.
I didn't know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not
In August 2022, a team located camera equipment that had been abandoned by famous explorers Bradford Washburn and Robert Bates in 1937 on the Walsh Glacier in Canada's Kluane National Park. The cameras contained decades-old images of the landscape that could provide data on glacial movement. After months of searching led by explorer Griffin Post and glaciologist Dora Medrzycka, they found pieces of Washburn's aerial camera and two movie cameras with undeveloped film. Medrzycka's guidance was crucial to the discovery.
They hope the recovered film can be developed and provide a rare glimpse of the area as it appeared over 80 years ago. Finding the equipment after so many decades was an unbelievable validation for Post and his team.
Henry Ford dreamed of establishing Fordlândia, a rubber plantation city in Brazil, to ensure a steady supply of rubber for his automobiles. He invested millions to build the city from scratch, and included luxuries for the workers such as an 18-hole golf course and a dance hall.
However, poor management led to pest infestations in the tightly planted trees. Workers also revolted as they were only paid a fraction of what Ford had promised and forced to abandon their local customs. As conditions deteriorated further during World War 2, Ford was forced to sell the failing operations for just $250,000 in 1945, despite having invested over $20 million (equivalent to $325 million in 2022).
Fordlândia remains completely abandoned today, serving as an example of a grand vision brought down by cultural clashes and economic mismanagement.

I'm out of the loop here, what's this about?
If you have all the original, unedited files you downloaded (this might mean multi-part rar archives) can either point your BT client at the location or move/copy them to where your client expects them.
I tend to add the torrent making sure it doesn't start, do a manual recheck to check it's working as expected, then start the torrent.
If you have main file(s) only e.g. .mkv but not the .nfo and there are other seeders you can do the same as above and it'll re-download - so in my example the block that contains the .nfo along with some of the .mkv will be downloaded. I tend to copy the files over, just in case but I don't think that's actually ever been necessary for me.
Another option is to have the file you care about and have the SRR file to restore the files to the downloaded state - adding .nfo files but it can also put the files back into those annoying rar archives. This way you can be the only seeder without having too many extra files hanging around. These are quite rare though.
I've stopped even seeing that - if I were describing it to someone who'd never seen the comic I don't know if I'd remember to mention it.
Beechwood State Park is located on the shores of Lake Ontario in Wayne County, New York, and was formerly the site of a Girl Scout camp. The camp closed in the late 1990s due to lack of money.
This mods need to pin this shining example of awful dad humour.
I can't believe that there's never been anyone that didn't make that mistake. Probably not enough to justify keeping a counter dedicated to it though...
There are plenty of projects that take donations/payments that don't make profit but stay afloat, normally through the team behind it paying the bills. I guess it depends what the running costs actually are, and if it's for people or e.g. servers.
On the eastern coast of the Black Sea is the Georgian region of Abkhazia, or the independent Republic of Abkhazia, depending on who you ask - Abkhazia has been recognised as an independent state by Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Syria; however, Georgia and most of the UN consider Abkhazia a sovereign territory of Georgia.
I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.

You confused me at first, but I guess you're thinking of the Tardis - that's a police box, not a phone box! British phone boxes are always red, I think.
This one gets weirder the more you look. There's the guy typing on an imaginary keyboard (or using an invisible mouse), the fact that no-one really has any eyes, or that dark character who's got some device suspended in front of his face?
