Cassowaries my beloved! Truly the perfect comeback if some moron says dinosaurs couldn't have been the origin of birds. Also their calls are terrifying.

Stay away from this crabby ass bird. That foot is absolutely prehistoric.

✨️ weekly tag wednesday ✨️

Thank you @mybrainismelted for tagging me!

Name: Harley

Where in the world are you? Florida 🌴

Do you have a favorite towel? Nope

Can you skip rocks? I wish I could! I've never had many opportunities to attempt it

Tell me about a weird slang term from your area: I honestly can't think of anything. Florida specific slang?? I am not aware of any examples of this

Okay so I googled it and the first thing that came up was "snowbirds" and I guess that counts as slang? But yeah that's what we call all you northern toursists lmao 🤣

Favorite toast topping: Just plain old butter

Thoughts on bread pudding: I've never had it

City or country living? City! I appreciate the peace and quiet too but I like having easy access to things

How do you cheer yourself up after a bad day? Listening to music and going for a walk

Are you a pessimist or an optimist? It depends on my mood that day 😂 but I strive to be an optimist and I think I've gotten better over the years

Can I tag you in random stuff? Of course!

@delphictrip Hey, another Alaskan here! Yeah the Alaska Railroad is 100% for tourists - I have also traveled it exactly once when I was a kid lol (though I think only to Denali). My thoughts here are not from someone knowledgeable in trains but I am somewhat knowledgeable about AK transport. Looking at this from the perspective of Anchorage to Fairbanks, the issue here I think is that the Anchorage - Fairbanks drive is about 7 hours while the current AK Railroad ride is 12. However, a flight between the two is only a little more expensive at about $100 and only takes an hour.

At the end of the day I feel like the AK Railroad prices are something only tourists can pay and for locals not taking vacation time the trip takes far to long. And unfortunately AK does not have the population (or infrastructure) to justify something geared towards those who actually live there. Even looking at the Anchorage-Wasilla commute idk if the city/state would want to build infrastructure for that. To make a commuter train worthwhile you need to have the bodies to support it, and to have something geared towards the needs of Alaskans I think you’d have to build a new system from the ground up… though once again I don’t know enough about trains and am not sure if there’s a way to use the existing Anchorage - Fairbanks line with a faster train that could bypass the slower, tourist trains (???). Never say never, but for something on this scale I bet you’d be better off looking towards the state rather than Amtrak, and with how important flight is to travel in Alaska I’d be surprised if trains ever became a first choice (though I’d love to see it happen).

What this kind of reminds me of is the Marine Highway, which is used by both cruise ships and the AK ferry system. The ferry system though is needed by Alaskans to transport cars since obviously you can’t get to a lot of the places down there by road, but these days trips on it for only one person WITHOUT a car can cost hundreds of dollars. There’s an absolute local need for it, but due to the slow trip time and and convenience of flight there’s no way for it to get the regular demand needed to keep prices down.

So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

(from the ask game) Do you like the beach? Do you prefer it sunny or cloudy? 

Despite being floridian I actually hate the beach lmao, I'm not a big fan of sand or salt water, plus its always crowded with toursists. I prefer cloudy weather most of the time unless its raining because nothing hits harder than a sun shower

[aura-acolyte]

Okay, in my defense I didn't know about any of this because I was a bit busy saving the world to learn about the local culture. I stopped for, like, five minutes to grab a gym badge and then got back on the road (yeah, yeah, I know, I took a detour to get a gym badge while I was on a quest to save the world I was 12 okay).

Gonna be honest, Brandy, you're not giving me a lot to work with here.

Wait, I've got it. There's that guy. The Unovan Cowboy guy who does the secret bases. He lives in Fortree, right? That should be enough to deter toursists, people hate Unovans, right?

Is it morally wrong to visit Fortree solely to see how long it takes for someone to pick a fight with me?

Review: Eleven City Deli Diner

Review: Eleven City Deli Diner

Hey guys and gals it’s been a while since I’ve last reviewed a place!

Location and Ease of Access

This Diner is located near Downtown Los Angeles. It’s on Wilshire which is a pretty popular street full of life. It’s in a really great place especially for tourists. The place is super cute and full of life. It has so much charm packed into it. You can definitely get some insta-worthy shots from…

What would 911: Sunshine* look like?

*Texas = the Lonestar state, Florida = the Sunshine state

LEMON!! This is my dream!!!

And yes 911: Sunshine is absolutely what I would call it!

Okay so first of all, location! I think the city a spinoff would most likely take place in is Miami, but in order for me to really personalize this (it's my dream, I do what I want) I'm going to switch things up and have this take place in my city: Tampa!

This location is interesting for many reasons, but mostly because of its layout and it being on the bay. The city itself is probably where most of the show would take place in terms of emergencies, but there's a lot going on here for a city on the smaller side! Of course, there will also be opportunities to see the rest of the bay area. (Tampa is the city, Tampa Bay is the region)

Here are some potential locations/ideas for emergencies

Skyway Bridge. Visually, it's just stunning, and yes many people are scared to drive on it. It collasped once over 40 years ago and it has safety mechanisms to prevent such an event from happening again, but I'm sure a 911 spinoff would get creative and find another way to make something go wrong.

The airport. Like 3x08 except worse because I have a chaos brain.

The arena where the Tampa Bay Lightning play.

Busch Gardens (a theme park)

Pick a beach. Any beach.

Literally tons of forest area where there could be a wildfire. Also tons of natural springs and rivers where you could have accidents.

Toursists. There is never a shortage of snowbirds being idiots in these parts.

Ybor City. There's a LOT of history here. It's also just a really cool place to explore. They have parades here (I've been in a few of them!) so maybe something goes wrong there.

Alligators. 🐊

Now lets talk major disaster arcs. 911 OG has earthquakes and tsunamis, Lone Star has ice storms and tornadoes, and 911: Sunshine would have a massive hurricane arc.

We kind of have an interesting history with hurricanes in Tampa Bay, at least in my lifetime, where every time we're about to get hit it shifts last minute and everyone who evacuated inland ended up being directly in its path. This happened with Charley in 2004, and Ian in 2022. Both made landfall in the exact same spot after shifting away from the bay area, which is kind of eerie.

I'd say a disaster arc like this would have one finally directly hitting the bay, and it would be a lot like the tsunami in 911. Very angsty, similar scenarios where peolpe go missing, and potential for the kind of water rescues Marjan was talking about doing back in Miami.

One little fun fact before I go. This doesn't apply to the city of Tampa, but I absolutely had to share this. If you venture out into the rest of the county like where I live, the firetrucks and ambulances are a lovely highlighter yellow! Or is it green? I've never been able to tell.

Don't ask me why. I have no idea. 😂

Coming out of Athens International Airport, the Dutch couple was excited about visiting the Greek islands after a couple of days in the city. Instead of walking to the metro station, they decided to splash out on a cab to their hotel in the capital. They stood patiently in line at the cabstand, waiting for their turn. “Welcome, welcome!” the taxi driver greeted them with gusto. “Oh, hello,” they replied somewhat overwhelmed by his exuberance. “Is this your first time in Greece?” the driver asked them as they set off. “Yes, it is,” they answered – completely unaware that they’d just set themselves up to be fleeced.

“The first question taxi drivers ask foreign clients is whether they’ve been to Greece before. If the answer is ‘no,’ they’re done for,” says a taxi driver with 30 years of experience in the streets of Athens, on the deceptive ways of some of his colleagues. For obvious reasons, he asked that his name not be published.

“Customers coming out of the airport see the sign informing visitors that the fixed fare to downtown Athens is 38 euros. But the driver will strike up a conversation to gain their trust and then say something like there’s traffic on the Attiki Odos highway and he’ll need to take a different route,” says the veteran. “The ‘faster’ way includes tolls, because every municipality – he will say – has its own charge, and more stuff like that.” This, says the veteran cabbie, is how so many tourists end up paying 100 euros or more for a 38-euro ride.

airlines flying into australian cities should be made to provide information about swimming/water safety or a swimming crash course or at the very least information about swimming at beaches and discouraging tourists who either a) can’t swim or b) aren’t strong swimmers from swimming in unpatrolled areas because the amount of toursists who come from countries where swimming isn’t ~common or practiced who are drowning is next level and like sure providing info isn’t an end all measure but it’s being proactive and it can bring the drowning % down and keep tourists safe

Headcanon: James is gay/bi awakening of many male citizens and toursists in Atlas, including Qrow's.

Anon what do you mean headcannon that's cannon XD. The entire reason Qrow is pissy with James so suddenly is because James's beard caused a gay awakening and he doesn't know how to cope with these new emotions. The only cure is smooches from the general which he does get what are you talking about volume 8 whose she she sounds terrible
