minus-squarevrek@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 month agoI drove over the Mississippi river, at 9pm. It was dark and didn’t see anything. I’ve never experienced the Mississippi River just like this is not an experience of flying to the moon. They got close but still working on actually getting there.
