Quite. I'm also surprised the double pigtail loop on the old Granada to Malaga road wasn't included. There are only 5 single pigtail loops in Spain alone, and two of them are on this road. Not to be confused with pigtail bridges, which do a similar thing {helping the climb steep sections of road that often are limited on space - like mountainous areas} to this in the Montes de Malaga I suppose many of us can probably draw several similarities around the world, for certain roads/lanes that we think ought to be included in many an article. For example, as brilliant {albeit dangerous} bit of work the Guoliang Tunnel road was/is, I'd swap that out for the more scenic Strada della Forra along the edge of Lake Garda, following the Brasa Gorge. It's also steeped {no pun} in World War Two history and if most haven't seen it in the flesh, then they've likely seen it in a film or advert. This also links quite well with the street in San Francisco, as the western edge of Garda {including this road} is located in Lombardy. Referring to pigtail bridges. There's one Chinese road structure that sticks in my head {and when it comes to bridges, China really does excel} and that's one near Mount Tiyanlong? {sic}. Mostly because it looks like an old Hot Wheels City Garage but also whilst a great feat of engineering, it also seems quite ridiculous ad somewhat overkill to need a double {if any} spiral. |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz95n2837vgoUniversal are going to build a theme park near Bedford which will open in 2031. I never thought it would go ahead, it's going to be a massive boost to the area.

Having a deprecated version of Chrome on my laptop, meaning I don't have to put up with Google's absolute garbage and unremovable AI Overviews on their search engine. It's helping to create a load of misinformed experts worldwide. Here's a bit of absolute gold {as well as contradictory} evidence, experienced recently on mobile. I was trying to figure out if Robert Carlyle used his role of Begbie in Trainspotting to form part of his performance of Daffy in The Beach. What I got was the usual ChatGPT noncommittal or inconclusive but I also extraordinarily and surprisingly got this in the AI Overview... First image, Google clearly showing an image of Robert Carlyle playing Daffy in The Beach. Alongside Leonardo Di Caprio. Second image, Google AI clearly not doing any relative ''machine learning'', stating that there is no record of Carlyle playing a character named Daffy  |

It's UK news so has a different focus and headline but the overall predictions and facts are the same as the BBC story. E.g., the bar chart half way down the Sky article shows that the US will be worst hit, and the article says just below the chart: Nearly all countries were hit with downgrades, with the US expected to grow by just 1.8% this year, a downgrade of 0.9 percentage points.
Mexico was downgraded by 1.7 percentage points, while China and Canada are forecast to slow by 0.6 percentage points and Japan by 0.5 percentage points.
The UK economy is expected to grow by just 1.1% this year, down 0.5 percentage points from the 1.6% the IMF was predicting in January. |
