Can't access the website, but sounds like the German approach [1]. In the past years, I can see that some new playgrounds being built in my area in France also incorporate more risks, which is nice. [1] https://news.ycombina

I can't say about NASA, but I can say about my experience at ESA (European Space Agency), where I worked on Mars lander hardware. You have very very formal procedures and detailed checks as soon as you approach any parts which is going

I stumbled upon one while hiking the Swedish coast north of Stockholm [ https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/den-optiska-telegrafen-t... ]. We took a minute or so to guess what it could be before reading the explanation p

Yes, would be nice if they had a regular A, and that one as stylistic alternate. Removing the bit on the A to turn it into a regular one takes only a few clicks on Fontforge or another font-editing software, and the license allows modificat
