(Photos: NBC News)
A crane lifted the last of a 408-foot tall spire on top of One World Trade Center on Friday, a capstone to an emotional 12-year effort to replace the twin towers destroyed by terrorists.
FUCK YOU AL QUEDA!!! HOW YOU LIKE US NOW!?
For my non-American followers, 1776 was the year we declared independence. ‘Merica
I approve of this number of feet.
Well hell, yeah.
1776!

Bicycle Phone Changer
In Tanzania, the majority of people live without electricity, yet a third of the country uses mobile phones. Bernard Kiwia, a trained electrician and vocational-school instructor, collaborated with the for-profit social enterprise Global Cycle Solutions (GCS) to design a phone charger from scrap bike and radio parts. Made from spokes, brake tubes, clamps, motors, and capacitors, the device generates power when its roller comes in contact with the bike’s spinning wheel as one rides it

“Twizy Renault Sport F1 is a racy EV that defies categorization”
It recently came out that Porsche mulled a return to Formula One but chose a return to Le Mans instead, citing F1 technology’s lack of relevance to its road cars. Well Porsche, take this: the Twizy Renault Sport F1 concept, “a bridge between the world of F1 technology and that of production cars.” The French Formula One legend took a 17-horsepower electric Twizy and replaced the back seat with an 80-hp KERS unit, just like the ones it produces for its F1 customer teams. Then it added tires from a Formula 2 Renault and a steering wheel derived from a Formula 3.5 Renault, a front splitter, sidepods and open-wheeler mirrors. Yes, it’s absurd – and by absurd we mean outstanding.
Well done, Boston Magazine. Well done.
Such a cool photo.
Ahh love this.
