One of the better maps I've seen as of recent. I love juxtapositions like this.
Earthbound — WCF
We designed this firepit to match actual satellite images from every 22.5* latitude and longitude. The Earthbound Firepit by WCF is the most geographically accurate world map firepit in the world.

It’s great isn’t it
There was a man on the radio yesterday talking about the rapid decline in use of traditional maps due to sat nav etc. it seems these info-maps buck the trend
I remember doing a 'European tour' with a dozen friends in 5-6 cars, in about 2006 or so. We had a TomTom then, but it was not reliable at all round the Alps. Luckily I had our AA road map book of Europe! We used that to navigate the rest of the trip! Thankfully being boy scouts, me and my brother could use a map correctly!
Speaking of gold.. I can't believe how the price of gold and silver etc has rocketed in the last two months. Quite bizarre really. Someone has influenced it!So a month ago there was another robbery at a French museum. High tech stuff, like in the film Heat the robbers had electronically switched the alarms and cameras off on the sly and then gone in and targeted the gold that was on display.
Paris: Woman charged after 1.5m euros of gold stolen from museum
Prosecutors say the woman was arrested in Barcelona with around a kilogram of melted-down gold.www.bbc.co.uk
so the authorities had plenty of warning before this...
Where are the Louvre jewels now and can France get them back?
Experts warn that whilst the criminals may yet be caught, the gemstones they stole may never be recovered.
Don't get me wrong, none of it is as stupefying and laughable as the solid gold khazi that walked off in the uk...
Gold toilet: Two men guilty over £4.8m Blenheim Palace heist
Five thieves were seen on CCTV stealing the fully-functional toilet from Blenheim Palace in 2019.
And just so we can feel inclusive across europe, the Germans have a couple of stories about theft and the complete misbelief in security...
Gold coins worth €1.6m stolen in nine-minute heist from German museum
Police in Germany say they are examining links between the theft and past heists from the country's museums.
Giant gold coin trial opens in Berlin
Three men are accused of using a wheelbarrow to steal a huge coin worth £3.4m from a Berlin museum.
A 'kin wheelbarrow.
Yeh, itis really satisfying and much more immersive. Any time we go anywhere we get a map and drive down the b roads and the small viallages etc. You'd never get that on a satnav.I remember doing a 'European tour' with a dozen friends in 5-6 cars, in about 2006 or so. We had a TomTom then, but it was not reliable at all round the Alps. Luckily I had our AA road map book of Europe! We used that to navigate the rest of the trip! Thankfully being boy scouts, me and my brother could use a map correctly!
Agree! I think you see more too!! You will notice on the map.. 'oh, look out for that bridge or tunnel or mountain!', we need to turn left there.'
Whereas with sat-nav, you miss most of it because you just follow the line on the screen!
Exactly what I do

stock market instability, mr I deserve a peace prize has torpedoed us governance, continued problems with energy fluctuations, investors seek the sanctuary of the precious metals market as it has been historically the safest bet.

yes, major central banks are buying up unprecedented volumes of gold, especially China, India, Poland as a hedge against economic instability/uncertainty, its fairly obvious they have strong inklings as to what's coming down the line
As for silver, with its huge range of diverse uses especially industrial and technological in todays world demand is probably outstripping supply
In my estimation precious metals especially the big 4 - Gold, Silver, Palladium and Platinum have always been a safer investment than many stocks
Apoligies if reading this has just wasted your time.
It's totally off topic, and its just a question that doesn't fit on any thread..
Why if you can put someone on ignore ( which i haven't )
Can you not see who has you on ignore, so you dont post pointless responses that will never be seen.

@GrandOldTeam
I don't accept your apology for wasting my time.
[ @Swartzy @GrandOldTeam has added you to their ignore list ]
I've no idea. I can't use the Ignore feature so never been 100% on how it works.
I figure it's because people can opt to still see messages from someone they have on ignore, in an ad hoc capacity.
