Last post by troutboy_II - Today at 12:36:24 PMBut the new venue is just that - wedding parties, sometimes office get togethers, etc. Not a real music venue on the circuit like before. That's fine and all, but I would rather stand for a Handelbar concert than attend a local DNC fundraiser (wife said I had to go since we were sponsors 
- what the hell! How did that happen 
? But I digress...
You're still fortunate to have the Flat Iron close by.

The new owners turned the bar into a music listening venue — great sound system and about 50 new chairs that are wide and comfortable. I can't imagine how much they spent on those but I'm certain there weren't cheap

The Gravel Bar / Re: Unlimited Nuclear Disaster...
Last post by Woolly Bugger - April 18, 2024, 07:08:53 AMFirst Images Inside Fukushima's Nuclear Reactor Show "Icicle-Like" Structures
Many robots have ventured into the ruins of Fukushima, but few have returned.
A snake-like robot and mini drones have ventured deep inside the irradiated reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan. As shown in their new images, the clean-up operations still have some way to go 13 years after the catastrophic nuclear meltdown.
The decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has made progress. In 2023, they finally went ahead with their controversial plan to dump treated water from the Fukushima nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean, marking a significant milestone in its clean up.
However, there have been a considerable number of setbacks. In 2017, the ruins of Fukushima were dubbed a "robot graveyard" owing to the number of remote-controlled probes that had broken inside the irradiated facility.
TEPCO has said the full decommissioning of the plant will "require 30 to 40 years", but critics say this is naively optimistic.

Last post by Dee-Vo - April 12, 2024, 22:16:54 PM A couple that I've finished recently.
Both were good. The Forstchen novel is the fourth in the series and was as good as the rest.
