My area's code requires a sweep every six months.

Just read about how lidar found a huge Maya city in Guatemala... it's wild. Exactly what @leom57 is talking about with the x-ray vision. I watched a show where they used it to map entire road systems under the forest... stuff you'd never see from the ground. Before, archaeologists had to cut through jungle for years and might still miss things. Now they can plan digs right where the structures are. Makes you wonder what else is out there hiding under our feet... or under the trees.

What is it about true crime podcasts that makes boring tasks so much easier? I totally get the same feeling, it's like my brain just zones in on the task. Last week I folded two baskets of laundry while binging a serial killer documentary, and it felt like no time at all. Even when I'm paying bills or organizing papers, having that dark storytelling in the background keeps me focused. Maybe it's the contrast between the mundane stuff and the intense stories that does the trick.
