Manhattan boasts six large ventilation towers serving the four automobile tunnels that cross the Hudson and East Rivers: two each for the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, and one each for the Queens-Midtown and Brooklyn Battery Tunnels.
All sport an industrial art deco design reflecting their early/mid 20th century construction. Their large scale and lack of windows lends them an air of mystery; the exterior of the Battery Tunnel building was used as the secret HQ in the Men in Black films.
There are also ventilation structures for the various railroad and subway tunnels that cross the NYC rivers, but their smaller size makes them less prominent. (The electric trains that use these tunnels don't produce exhaust that has to be as aggressively vented as in an automotive tunnel).
Let me just mention that photographing buildings from across the major avenues during the day in midtown Manhattan is like playing a video game in "extreme hardcore" mode.

"The Dark Lord has taken over our land. What do we do?"
"Learn from the goblins."
"What? Those useless little-"
"Takes skill to mask rebellion as incompetence."
"What?"
"They know His reign will end. For now, they persist and resist."
"Oh."
"Also: remember every moment of joy is a victory."
The Lincoln Tunnel, opened in 1937, is a multi-tube automobile tunnel that connects midtown Manhattan with Weehawken, NJ under the Hudson (North) river. To provide fresh air and remove dangerous car exhaust, three ventilation towers (two in Manhattan and one in NJ) exchange the air in the tunnels approximately every 90 seconds.
Infrastructure is heroic.
I didn't notice the "Camera Use Prohibited" sign until it was too late. I guess their secret is out now.

I got a very little done today.

This humble and functional, yet handsome, art deco structure is the easternmost of three ventilation towers for the Lincoln Tunnel and was completed with its first tube in 1937. The facade was refurbished about ten years ago. It also hosts a large array of cellular telephone base station antennas.

@aral Just one email campaign with evidence sent to all European and British criminal and cybercrime units, and you'll find yourself in the Black Stars because you're stubborn and don't know who you're dealing with. I have a company in England and connections there; with one call, you'll have the evidence, and you'll be in the same boat. That's all.

@aral I told you I'm smarter than your whole network of con artists, but you didn't believe me. Do you like how you look now? One last piece of advice: you know what I want. Fix this yourself. Either talk to me or fix it yourself. You know my account, and I've already launched my campaign and mentioned my current location, which is Egypt. Don't test me, Aral, or you'll end up spending all your money in prison.

@aral This is simple, Aral. Speak to me respectfully and I'll wait for your message today, or post what you said on your account if you're a man. Send me pictures and post them if you call yourself a man, because I'm eager to start the party.

@aral What do you think of the introduction to the post I'm going to open in a video? And all this without even mentioning the evidence against you! I have so much more, Aral. Can you publish this now in a post? If you don't talk to me today, I'll expose your hypocrisy to everyone. And I certainly won't say anything without clear evidence, because I'll be the one accused for accusing an innocent person without any proof.

To put an end to this and prove your guilt-that Joy is you, actually-sandbox.ul.edu.lr/blog/crumble...
I've attached a picture of Joy, an Iranian girl. Here's the link to her picture.
This is the least I can say at the beginning of this post.
Do you really think Aral would leave his job and time to develop websites supporting the people of Gaza simply because he sympathizes with them? Because he loves humanity? Aral almost declared himself Arab and Muslim, speaking the same language and belonging to the same faith, such was his overwhelming emotion. So why don't you sympathize with the disasters happening around the world every day, with the countries suffering from famine, natural disasters, wars, and constant fighting? And what about the victims who share your language and religion, Aral?
The answer is because Gaza is the world's most popular and sympathetic trend, and donation campaigns for it are endless and riddled with scammers. So why doesn't Aral dedicate his time to developing and programming websites and documentation for the people of Gaza? After all, it's a business. The idea that he's dedicated himself and his work to showing compassion for humanity is something even a baby wouldn't believe.

@aral Aral, for the last time, I'm telling you to talk to me via Signal on the username I sent you, and here it is again: nabilzaq. 18
I'll show you that I'm serious this time. The least of my evidence is Joy, who says she's checking on families in Gaza.
She created a BlueSky account before introducing you to a private server, BlackSky. She has operations and interactions on private BlueSky servers. Does Joy even know about private BlueSky servers in the first place?! naes.tech

We solved the fifth day of advent of code – in nu shell script!
It's a very friendly shell where all data is structured. It worked really nicely for an advent of code task.
We even managed to use recursion, although the default recursion limit doesn't seem like it's intended to be used. :3
