Most wells at Cape Station are between 8,000 and 9,000 feet deep, and the deepest one extends a mind-blowing 15,000 feet below the surface. That is about the depth you'd get to if you stacked 50 Statues of Liberty on top of each other!

For those who prefer a less American-centric metric: 8,000–9,000 feet is approximately 2.5 kilometers. 15,000 feet is about 4.5 kilometers — roughly the height of 14 Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other!

You can trigger the Preview functionality by holding the Shift key while hovering over a URL.

This feels much snappier - and therefore more useful.

Additional settings can be found and adjusted via about:config.

The title is a bit clickbaity. Its about creating your own piece of art by printing existing, publicly available, works. Anyway, has someone recommendations for printing something large-scale on fabric in Europe?

As with other OpenAI based applications, I don't feel comfortable sharing my private API key with an application I don't know. Especially when the webpage isn't telling me what this app is about. I suggest adding a small demo video or at least adding some bullets on what this app is trying to solve.

It's a shame that the screencast has no sound. I was curious about what it would sound like. I could try it myself via the netlify app but I don't feel very comfortable sharing my API key somewhere...

YouTube channel "The B1M" published quite a few videos about why supertall skyscrapers aren't interesting to build: [1], [2], [3].

To summarize: they're very expensive to build and the turnover is uncertain.
