@ Sean,
“I hate to tell you. but there are so many 404s here that I am not even going to try to list them.”
My apologies. When/where did they occur? I’m not seeing any.
That highway integrated building in Japan is unreal!
@ Mono,
“That highway integrated building in Japan is unreal!”
What are you talking about?
@ Mono,
I should’ve said “what specifically about it is unreal” rather than simply “what are you talking about?”
i see no 404s
@ frankie g,
I don’t see 404s either.
@frankie g You are right, I just revisited it and they all seem to be working now. There were at least 6 when I gave up yesterday.
@ Sean,
I’ve seen that happen before. Again: Really sorry.
@ steven @ mono

its pretty cool i guess, although i’ve seen/heard of similar, less obvious versions of buildings like this over train tracks or roads.
