National Technology Day

National Technology Day is celebrated on 11th May every year to mark India’s accomplishments in technology. On this day in 1998, India successfully conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran. India became a complete nuclear state after the test, and this milestone was officially announced by the then Prime Minister of India- the Late Sh Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

"Oh it would have been more satisfying if the humans had invented a technology which defeated the Martians rather than have them killed off by accident just when humanity's impotence in the face of disaster seems to be confirmed". I

To me that's just a fancy way of saying "Yeah but humans could totally handle the Martians and the writer has a duty to reassure the audience of that!"

Sir we cannot even handle climate change and I'm sorry to tell you that it's not entirely due to a lack of technological expertise

Cable Car Day

Cable Car Day is celebrated every year on January 17. The day celebrates Andrew Smith Hallidie getting the patent for the cable car in 1871. It is believed that Hallidie saw horses struggle to pull cars up the steep hills of San Francisco, and worried about the news of people falling and dying. He decided to invent a system where strong cables would move the cars up and down the hill. Today, San Francisco is the last American city to still run any true cable cars! The Cable Car Museum in San Francisco is also a tourist attraction. In other American cities, you will find electric streetcars.

History of Cable Car Day

In early 1871, inventor Andrew Smith Hallidie received the first patent for the cable car. That occasion is now observed as Cable Car Day. Hallidie was struck by the idea to construct a cable-propelled transit after witnessing horses falling, and even dying, as they tried to pull cars up San Francisco’s steep Jackson Street. Hallidie was agitated by the deaths of these horses and decided to convert his sympathy into action. Before cable cars, Hallidie had previously invented a type of aerial tramway and designed improvements to mining ropes which drastically improved their economic life. Hallidie was obviously a talented inventor who always had others’ best interests in mind.

Two years after receiving his cable car patent, Hallidie was already on his way to setting up the world’s first cable car railroad on Clay Street. After that, things moved pretty quickly. By 1890, most large cities in America had at least one line. By then the electric streetcar had also been invented. These cars operated by connecting to overhead electrical wires instead of underground moving cables. Cities quickly started switching to these newer cars. These were also easier to install and operate.

Today, San Francisco is the last American city to still run any true cable cars. Unfortunately, none of the original lines survive. Only the grip car eight can be seen at Mason Street’s Cable Car Museum, which is located on two of San Francisco’s three cable car routes. You can also find cable car railways in Venice, Tampa, Las Vegas, and Milan.

visca barça at least we aren’t fascists💙❤️

come off anon and say this to my face so i can block you and keep my peace as i have been doing because i don’t like conflict.

i literally abstain of commenting on the disgusting things i’ve heard culers say about us because i simply dislike speaking ill of others and i’m able to respect completely whatever club you support, unlike whoever sent this. and this is probably the last instance i’ll do comments like this.

to have things like this dropped into my ask box when i’ve been nothing but respectful is insulting. this reason why i disliked football in the first place growing up and why im hesitant when barcelona fans follow me. if you follow me, unfollow and stop bothering me. and overall fuck off tremendously.

I just love how all the horror scenarios of this book are actually just the reality of modern-day America, and has been for quite a few decades if you are a part of certain ethnic groups 🙃
