The mahogany deck is encased in epoxy fibreglass for zero maintenance Unlike the classic woodies, these boats have low maintenance fiberglass hulls. Mirror polished stainless-steel castings and hardware enhance the nautical air. Luxury details include a hand-carved mahogany tiller and joystick, one-inch thick leather seat covers that snap off for easy storage, removable two-compartment cooler and charcuterie board. These self-draining electric boats consist of three primary construction components the hull, cockpit liner and deck surface, while an ergonomically designed, hand-carved wooden tiller with joystick component steers its course. The difference between the two appears to be that the Tahoe (fancy wooden boats were popular there too) has the gorgeous mahogany top, and the Lugano has a sportier, more European vibe. Lee Kline and Paul Lavoie probably know these boats from Lake Ontario and Muskoka where they grew up, and now their company, Beau Lake ( the people who brought us a $20,000 pedal boat! ), has launched the Tahoe and Lugano electric boats. Lovely to look at, but high maintenance and often those big old engines are polluting the air and water. To this day, up on the big Muskoka lakes north of Toronto, Canada, rich people put on their straw boaters and blue blazers, and tool around in very beautiful, very expensive old mahogany runabouts. ![]() Written by Lloyd Alter Load up the Krug and the caviar and go for a spin.

![]() I’m very much in the habit of pressing CTRL-A for select-all before typing anything if I want to get rid of it, since that’s how everything else works in KDE. If I click on the URL itself, it’s because I want the cursor in the precise spot I have clicked so that I can insert or delete part of the URL… I don’t want to replace the entire thing with whatever I am about to type. ![]() That’s just something I’ve had to put up with in Firefox, which is a real annoyance given that even when I used Windows, I’d had Firefox set to not select all on click. Clicking the URL bar always selects all now, which makes it behave differently than everything else in my OS (KDE Plasma on Linux), which is kind of ironic given that the Mozilla excuse for doing this was to make it behave the same as every OS. The classic addons could have, but not the current Webextensions. With Firefox, addons are unfortunately not able to change the behavior of the URL bar when it is clicked anymore. It’s not as good as the real thing… it only simulates having an unread tab state (which means that restored tabs don’t retain their previously unread state), while Vivaldi seems to have the real thing. Vivaldi has both of these options natively, by contrast (unlike Chromium, the base for Vivaldi), and in Firefox, I’ve spackled over the hole Mozilla left where the unread tab status used to be with an addon. I wonder if Waterfox devs would be willing to add back the unread tab status and the option to not fire the select-all action when the URL bar is focused, two other things Mozilla recently ripped out that have made it a much worse product than it was before in the way I use it. ![]() The main reason I ever needed them in the first place was to fix what Mozilla had done to Firefox! As long as I could revert the UI changes Mozilla made with each successive release, I didn’t mind too much that they’d made them. If they add back all of the things Mozilla removed, it won’t even matter that the classic addons don’t work anymore. This is a really promising direction for Waterfox. I’ve had the page zoom controls between the URL box and the search box since forever ago, and that made the one in the status bar redundant. Fortunately, a little bit of custom css in userChrome.css is able to get rid of it. As with Vivaldi’s status bar, the new Waterfox one has a page zoom control on the right side, though there’s no option to remove it that I was able to find. Vivaldi also has an optional status bar, but it’s not possible to put the addon icons in it. As with the original status bar and the one that the Classic addon Status-4-Evar added back in, it is possible to move the addon icons to the new status bar. I was able to do it with a custom stylesheet (same idea as userChrome.css), but having it available from the settings menu is far better.Īs if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also put the option to have a status bar back in. Even Vivaldi (which is meant to be a highly configurable browser that has every conceivable option) doesn’t have that, even though it’s been requested for a few years by now. ![]() I just took another look at the newest Waterfox, which is G3, and discovered that they’d implemented the much-requested option to put the tab bar between the content and the URL bar. Classic is not the only Waterfox… there’s also Waterfox Current and Waterfox G3. I haven’t paid much attention to Waterfox since I moved on from Waterfox Classic. Fortunately, the custom CSS duplicates enough of the functionality of CTR to make Firefox look and behave much as I want it to. The weaker Chrome-style addons that (poorly) replaced the Firefox-type XUL/XPCOM addons couldn’t put back what Mozilla had removed. Of course, when the next thing that was lopped off of Firefox was the ability to use Firefox addons like CTR, that didn’t work anymore. In its never-ending goal to be Chrome, Mozilla had removed features from Firefox that many of us consider essential, and Custom Theme Restorer let us have them back. I used Waterfox (which turned into Waterfox Classic) for a few years after the release of Firefox Quantum, but as its internal feature set was frozen at the Firefox 56 level, I began to have issues with it not working with some sites, so I reluctantly went back to Firefox proper.įortunately, I’d discovered modifications to userChrome.css by Aris, the author of Custom Theme Restorer. ![]() What Happened To The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-tunnel? A lengthy repair process was required after the Bay Bridge collapsed in less than six minutes, highlighting the need for better safety precautions during major infrastructure construction projects. It is possible that part of the bridge’s collapse during the 1989 earthquake was caused by the fact that the deck was not designed to withstand such an event. The net saved the lives of 19 men who became known as the “Halfway to Hell Club,” but eleven other men died while constructing it. The tragic deaths of eleven workers on the Golden Gate Bridge have been a source of fascination and debate for many years. 11 Men Died When The Golden Gate Bridge Collapsed During Construction when his rig skidded off the “S” curve of the Oakland- San Francisco Bay Bridge and fell 200 feet to Yerba Buena Island below. Has Anyone Fallen Off The Bay Bridge?įakhar, a tractor-trailer driver, died on November 9, 2009, at 3:30 a.m. Drivers must understand the risks involved in cross-country travel, and must take precautions to ensure their safety. Despite the risks involved, many drivers continue to use the bridge tunnel on a daily basis. While the bridge-tunnel’s guardrails meet federal standards, they are only designed to withstand a glancing blow from a car or light truck. In 1994, 18 vehicles had gone over the rails and crashed into Lake Pontchartrain. The bridge-tunnel is a very dangerous stretch of road. One of the most important transportation links between the two coasts, it is used by an estimated 12 million vehicles per year. It is known as the chesapeake bay bridge-tunnel. This 17-mile stretch of road connects the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Dangers Of The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-tunnel The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel has seen at least 15 vehicles fall off since it opened in 1964, resulting in 18 deaths. How Many Cars Have Fallen Off The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-tunnel? The project was challenging, but it was worthwhile in the end. The device has survived the test of time and is still in use. The Bay Bridge-Tunnel, a vital transportation link between San Francisco and Oakland, has been in operation since 1936. Seven men were killed in the construction of one of the world’s longest tunnels. More than 12 miles of low-level trestles, two one-mile tunnels, two bridges, nearly two miles of causeway, four artificial islands, and 5.5 miles of approach roads were built as part of the project. The Bay Bridge-Tunnel was built in 1933 and opened to the public in 1935. This structure is connected to the rest of the structure via a 1,250-foot-long (381-meter) tunnel. Two side-by-side tubes, each measuring 4,200 feet (1,300 meters) long and 97 feet (29 meters) in diameter, connect the bridge tunnel to the ground. There are two towers on this bridge, each 657 feet (196 meters) tall, and 41,000 tons (38,000 metric tons) of steel were used in its construction. In comparison to other bridges in the area, the main span is 2,431 feet (746 meters) long and the bridge deck is 1,200 feet (366 meters) wide. This bridge is a double-deck, six-lane cable-stayed bridge with a total length of 4,200 feet (1,300 meters) and a total height of 1,600 feet (487 meters). ![]() The bridge-tunnel is also the world’s second-longest combined bridge-tunnel, trailing only the Sydney Harbour Bridge-Tunnel in Sydney, Australia. It opened on May 27, 1936, and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. It connects San Francisco and Oakland and is the world’s sixth-longest bridge at 4,220 feet (1,300 meters). It is also known as the Bay Bridge-Tunnel. It is a joint bridge-tunnel that connects San Francisco and Oakland, California. Thankfully, there have been no reported fatalities from cars falling off the bridge, though there have been a few close calls. While the majority of these incidents have been attributed to inclement weather or driver error, there have also been a few cases of cars being hit by other vehicles and falling off the bridge as a result. However, based on eyewitness accounts and news reports, it is estimated that approximately 30 cars have fallen off the bridge into the water below since it was built in 1964. There is no definitive answer to this question as there is no accurate way to track how many cars have fallen off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel over the years.

Rodadero is the most popular beach in Santa Marta and it gets unbelievably busy. It gets busy on weekends and public holidays. Just listen for a guy shouting “Minca!” close to where you take the bus to Tayrona. The cost of a shared jeep to Minca is around 8,000 COP, and the jeep leaves from the main market when it’s full.

The new dual analog stick controls are indistinguishable from modern shooters, though, and actually make some battles a bit easier. Since then we’ve seen options to use the Wii-like motion controls established in the Metroid Prime Trilogy collection, or a variant of the original controls on the GameCube controller, but none made it something that was easy for most people to pick up and play. You had to lock onto a target and shoot, instead of allowing full, dual-joystick movement, and trying to go from any other shooter to this was like having to learn to walk again. Originally the controls for Metroid Prime on GameCube were so clumsy and awkward that its fans had to argue it was not an FPS at all, but something else, such as a first-person puzzle game. It’s all logically laid out to reflect the story and setting, but the world mirrors your progress in a brilliant way: Rooms that once took toil and grit to get through can soon be zipped through with the help of a newly obtained skill or weapon. A flowing fountain babbles down the side of a sunny sanctuary hall a furnace chamber pumps heat through conveniently morph-ball sized vents to other areas a lab deep underground holds experiments in tubes that act as jump-scare time bombs. Each room has a purpose and a name, with details that make no two places quite alike. There are so many things to laud in Metroid Prime, but its biggest accomplishment is Tallon IV itself. Just show them your University ID, and say that you stay at PCF.
