Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 21: Roma – Roma, 143 km

If you have not watched "Life of Brian" - we cannot be friends

Yes, we are all individuals!

It's been too long so I had forgotten

Not to split hairs, but Saint Peter's is built in the renaissance style - but does admittedly have som gothic and baroque influences

A product of the Italian Renaissance obsession for central-plan and domed designs, the project was eventually modified into a traditional Latin-cross shape during the Counter-Reformation. So 0 Gothic influences, but much Baroque ornament inside, largely an effect of Bernini in the seventeeth-century. I was referring to my preference for late antique and Romanesque church architecture over Gothic.😏

Ever since that movie no one names their kid Biggus anymore.

Some nice Bull Shark action there.

....I was referring to my preference for late antique and Romanesque church architecture, over Gothic.😏

Why do you prefer those?

One of my favorite aspects of the gothic is that it was an era when the masons were let off the leash and some of the imagery in stone is fantastic and even bizarre.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'm partial to Biggus Dickus.

I'w have you know my fwend Biggus Dickus wanks vewy highwy in Wome!

 

[Potomac]

Late antique and Romanesque, but St. Peter's is incredible

I was saying I prefer Gothic, as opposed to they style of St Pete's

Well, since you asked, I love the architecture of the Roman empire in decline and the rise of Byzantium, as far as ecclesastical buildings go: from the Constantinian basilicas, of which sadly almost nothing has survived, to Hagia Sofia (my second favorite building in the world). As for Romanesque, the duomo of Modena gives me goose bumps or the Abbey de Senac amidst the lavender fields in July. Need I say more? However, the duomo of Siena is probably my favorite Gothic structure.

Got that and I replied my preference for late antique and Romanesque, noting, however, that while neither late antique, Romanesque nor Gothic, St. Peter's is incredible.😏

Interesting. I will have to look those up.

The entire field is going to miss the time cut at this rate.

Finally the tennis is over?

 

[noob]

People walking out of that tennis court has to mean it's over or I'm getting a melt down. I want to watch awkward Torito

 

[noob]

Wish he had shown less of it during yesterday's stage! lol

But it wouldn't have been as fun if he didn't. I don't watch football but I'm here for the Messi compilations. If I had that ability Del Toro compilation might look similar

Finally tennis over!

It evidently doesn't take long to knock out a set of 7 custom kits, apparently.

 

[MJR]

Alright, then.

Does both Yates have dogs?

In a not too distant future, when automation and ai gets slightly better, they will be able to produce it in under an hour in a production facility entirely housed in a 20 ft container on a truck

Dye sublimation printer -> cutting robot -> sewing robot -> human quality control.

Automation yes. Up to date there's no AI whatsoever.

Why would you need AI?

Brief Nairo sighting

Doesn't AI steal and then recreate real artists' work? I'm probably confused again...

 

[Sciatic]

sexist throwaway comment: couldn't we have gotten more of a closeup of that paddleboard?
