Simon, my guy, you're voicing so much of the incredible stuff, you don't even notice a superconductor slipped where a supercomputer must've been.

Daedalus was the crafter/inventor of the wings, Icarus (Daedalus's son) is the one that did not heed the warning about the wax, that held the wings together, melting if you got to close to the Sun.

From 16 until I was almost 21 years old I lived in the tunnels here, I’m 24 years old now and I still go back now and then to visit some of the family I made all over the city. I can’t explain how sad it is to know how many of the people down there will never make it out or be able to have a normal life. People don’t keep in mind that they’re humans too and deserve the same help I was lucky enough to get, sobriety is already the hardest fight I’ve ever fought, but when all you have for a future is that life, it becomes impossible

Las Vegas resident here, the drain systems are quite the feat. Unlike most areas of the world, most of our rain comes from a few select violent storms. Inches of rain can fall in less than an hour, along with destructive winds and terrific lightning storms. All those trillions of gallons of water collect all at once rather than soaking over many hours, thus extreme flooding. Its like comparing watering a plant with a watering can, and watering another by dumping a huge bucket. The former gets water in the soil, the latter gets torn up and swept away.

Love learning about places like these!

@sideprojects DUNE Project: Calculations by supercomputers, not superconductors.

another banger from Simon

I was in Vegas for 4 days. It rained for 3 of them and they claimed they were in a drought. I saw flooded streets. I have toured the Polish salt mine on my 54th birthday. And ridden quite a bit of the Moscow subway just before my 55th birthday. Actually rode the St Petersburg subway to Russian bathhouse on my 55th.

Literally no one cares BUT.... Lead, SD is pronounced like "leed". Named after the Homestake lode, which is sometimes called a lead (leed). It's obscure, but the locals call it that as well so it must be right (haha). Also, South Dakota is the state that calls it's capital of Pierre by the pronunciation of "peer". And the city of Belle Fourche is "bell foosh" so take all that as you will. I live here, and we are almost never referenced, so felt an obligation to post. Thanks for the videos!

12:42 - not anymore. This stainless-steel thing was recently removed to make way for construction work; the city says it will eventually be installed at the ground-level lobby.

Would like to toss in the Flushing CSO. 16 years and 380 million dollars produced this amazing thing under Flushing Meadows in NYC. No one knows about it but I was there when it started in 2008. Amazing!

I grew up in Las Vegas. My friend group spent more time in those tunnels then I care to admit. It’s where I smoked my first doobie. It’s where I lost my virginity. They were always about 20 degrees cooler in the summer so when kids were outside, it was the place to go.

Seeing the Las Vegas tunnels in the comments I'm going to sit this one out. I've seen stuff like that in third world countries but I never thought something like that and the current opioid/homeless crisis in America could eclipse the suffering in many developing and third world countries.

I'm an expat for the last dozen years and actually wasn't aware how bad things have gotten in that time but two months ago I received word that my step-nephew died in the Las Vegas tunnels. It's just heart breaking.
