I had to do a double take at 3:01 because it looked like some kind of Fallout-esque eyebot was on patrol, but it turns out it was just some kind frontloader.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.101817-3597573Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:20:15 -0800BurhanistanBy: item

So where are all the people? They didn't just turn to piles of dust like in Night of the Comet - where'd they all go? Is this a sectioned-off part of town?comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.101817-3597637Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:50:24 -0800itemBy: Paragon

Yep, the whole CBD is cordoned off for safety reasons - there's <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10713997">some controversy</a> about that.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.101817-3597676Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:10:51 -0800ParagonBy: rainperimeter

Very eerie; it reminds me of the feel of City 17 from Half Life 2, for some reason. For government footage it feels surprisingly well directed and artistic at times.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.101817-3597858Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:59:00 -0800oxford blueBy: Blasdelb

<em>Mr Langer said a structural engineer had told him his building could be made safe enough to enter. "I could retrieve at least half a million dollars of irreplaceable goods within half an hour," he said.</em>

Seeing the NZ flag at half-mast really got me. I guess that's why we have symbols, to express things that bare facts don't cover.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.101817-3598096Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:20:28 -0800harriet vaneBy: Catch

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
