I think I might be more-prone to nerd sniping when I’m travelling.
Last week, a coworker pointed out an unusually-large chimney on the back of a bus depot and I lost sleep poring over 50s photos of Dutch building sites to try to work out if it was original.
When a boat tour guide told me that the Netherlands used to have a window tax, I fell down a rabbit hole of how it influenced local architecture and why the influence was different in the UK.
Why does travelling make me more-prone to nerd sniping? Maybe I should see if there’s any likely psychological effect that might cause that…
I really loved the post on the window tax. It’s not something I would have expected to interest me, and I love when that happens.
So from the photo I guess it wasn’t original? Is there more to the bus depot adventure?
I think it was original, but haven’t been able to prove it. That photo doesn’t help much. Very annoying!
