Christians are doing that thing this weekend. They retell the story (spoiler, he dies). And then they eat choco rabbits, look at lilies, fight with the family, boil eggs and let uncle Tony eat them because they sat outside for much of the day, and gain a few lbs/kgs.

Und jetzt möchte ich unbedingt ein paar alte elektromechanische Anlagen mir näher anschauen und erklären lassen. Mit Schaltplan. Ahhhh. Hab ja sonst nix zu tun.
A century ago, #elevators had frequent and horrifying accidents. Gov’ts stepped in with inspections, and elevators grew to be America’s most common form of public conveyance. It’s another way gov’t makes our lives safer. http://www.fromthegovt.com/elevator-inspections/ #localgov #stategov #publicsafety
Simple idea that needs to happen: In elevators, if you push the wrong floor button, push it again to cancel.
What other simple ideas are interesting?

Here's one of the many, many things I like about Japan: The "close door" button on the elevators are fast, responsive & actually work.
You hit the "close" button, the doors immediately close. Period. End of story.
Meanwhile, the 'close' buttons in American elevators are more like... "suggestions". In some cases, they're completely &$#% decorative.
I'm talking to you, Marriott Resorts USA. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's probably some corporate liability garbage.
One thing that is objectively better in #USA are the labels at buttons in #elevators. In 99% of the cases I've seen, there is a super obvious marking next to the "exit level". In #Europe we can't agree on any standard and mostly it's just 
figure it out yourself.

One of the neighbours in my apartment building has two dogs who seem to know which floor they live on by scent.
They will stand by the door and sniff while the elevator moves. Just as we reach their floor, they get excited before the door even opens.
I have no idea how they do this, and maybe I’m misinterpreting what’s happening…but it’s really cool.
Dog owners, have you noticed anything similar to this?
Why not convert all #elevators to operate with #gravitybatteries? #Cities could power their #grids with the savings.
They’re also a great storage companion to rooftop solar.

Good morning. 
A negative aspect of my cruise last week, was the elevators. There were 20 elevators on the ship 10 forward and 10 aft. Yet we spent much time waiting. When an elevator did arrive, if it wasn't already crammed full, it was about to be. It wasn't unusual to be on an elevator crammed full of people, then at a stop a giant person decides that he can fit too. It might be comical except when you consider the time you spent crammed inside a small space with 10-15 other people. I wonder, what are the CDC guidelines and recommendations. At each end of the ship there were two banks of five elevators each, servicing 16 decks 1-17 remember, there is no 13th deck.

Level 2 has a more vertical #leveldesign. This is tricky in 2D in our perspective especially for stuff like #elevators. We ended having to make a fake Aggy to get layering right! In this clip 'fake' Aggy has no light source'.
