I've been working on this important list for a couple of years now. What am I missing?

Photos from WSR's profile of Jeffry Ramirez, the incredibly popular AMC Lincoln Center crew member who has worked at the theater since 2021. “I don’t have to hold a legacy. I don’t mind if I do or if I don’t, as long as I still show an impact to at least any of these guests."

The crankshaft of the Wärtsilä Sulzer RTA96-C is one of the largest precision mechanical parts ever built, weighing about 300 tons and extending nearly the full 89-foot length of the engine. Forged from massive sections of hardened steel, it converts the vertical force of combustion into rotational motion that turns a ship’s propeller directly. Each piston, weighing more than 11 tons, pushes down during combustion and transfers immense force through connecting rods into the crankshaft. Despite rotating at only about 102 revolutions per minute, this slow movement produces enormous torque, allowing ships weighing over 200,000 tons to move efficiently across oceans. The crankshaft rests on huge main bearings lubricated continuously by high pressure oil systems, ensuring smooth operation under extreme loads. In its largest 14 cylinder configuration, the Wärtsilä Sulzer RTA96-C produces up to 80,080 kilowatts, or about 107,390 horsepower, making it the most powerful reciprocating engine ever installed in a ship. The crankshaft must withstand continuous forces equal to thousands of tons while operating nonstop for weeks or months at sea. Even microscopic alignment errors during manufacturing could cause catastrophic failure, so each section is machined and assembled with extreme precision. This massive rotating structure forms the core of modern marine propulsion, converting controlled explosions inside the cylinders into steady rotational power that drives ultra large container ships like the Emma Maersk class across the world’s oceans. Genius engineering.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia's Highway 10 stretches 256 kilometers without curves. It's considered the longest straight road in the world.

Baffled by the Asians in my TL who see the Alysa Liu story as proof against tiger parenting. It’s proof FOR tiger parenting lmao how do you not see that. Drill them and make them learn the struggle and then set them free.

Until 2010, the G went all the way to Forest Hills. Now you need to take three different trains just to get from Astoria to Greenpoint. The MTA should restore this essential service.

The ironic thing is that the Chinese, in general, don't have a sweet tooth. Most Western desserts are too sweet for Chinese palates. Yet all Chinese breads are essentially desserts and mildly sweet, which comes to most Westerners as an unpleasant surprise because when they buy
