Long day factory looks like a 4 turbine power station.

Ah yes, they have to bake the VW at 350 (175c) for two hours until it's just most in the middle.

What happened to the second tower?

[–] lightsblinken@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

looks like it was moved outside the environment.

This building is a CHP plant (generating heat / district heating for the factory and the city). There have been some overhauls 2009 and 2021 (due to converting it to a combined-cycle power plant). Half of this building (southern part, first two chimneys) is nowadays an event location.

As to what happened to the second tower:

From 2009, the chimneys were partially renewed. Part of the southern chimneys were demolished and replaced by clinker in the same colour. I guess this picture was taken during that time.

So when did you get your diagnosis? I found out I was on the spectrum only last year.

No hate, just some things to clarify the nerdy sounding post of mine:

  1. I was born in that city. There is no way you won't memorize that shape living there more than a year.

  2. I had to look up some facts and thought it would be neet to post them here as there is no english wiki page about that building - a landmark of Wolfsburg and a cultural heritage, no matter how ugly it is.

  3. No diagnose yet - but also never bothered to test it.

Also, as it is a spectrum: isn't everybody on it?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm just teasing at this whole deep-dive into the background image of a meme, it's very... stereotypical, but yeah if you have a personal connection it's definitely more than a hobby interest in old power plants.

It's a great big huge spectrum and there's room for everyone on it!

What a read

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Am an apprentice and my car broke down recently.

Tuesdays we have our long school day and for whatever fuckin reason some goof decided to make the day start at 11 AM. So I now sit from 11 AM till 6 PM in school, at which time the janitor always comes over to let us know, through the window, while we're still in class, that he is going home now and has closed the main gate, so we no have to use the secondary gate. Take into consideration that without a car it takes me 1 and a half hours for travel, twice, That makes a school day from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM.
Weird ass day.
