From that angle, sure. But on Wikipedia it shows how massive it is.
Purposely not linking to the official "church" website, but it has a picture of it from the air, and lit up at night... It's pretty impressive.

In December 2017 I set up a Raspberry Pi Zero W (v1.1) with a bash script to automatically launch Chromium browser at startup in kiosk mode, wait 2 minutes, then use xdotool to change tabs.

Browser was configured to launch with 2 tabs. One was a locally hosted (static) HTML file, the other was a Google Slides slideshow. HTML file displayed a welcome message and current time (via css clock) while the slideshow loaded in the background tab.

This was working flawlessly for years.

Here's my problem
If the display was showing desktop background instead of clock/slideshow I would just SSH in and reboot to fix it ... but over the last 6 months, this "reboot fix" reliability of launching the Chromium browser has fallen off a cliff... From 100% to 50% to 10% then basically 0%

I suspected the latest version of the browser is not supported on this old Zero W ... So I formatted the SD card, burned the 32-bit Legacy version of Pi OS (bullseye) for the Zero W using imager and confirmed my suspicions.

I almost fixed the issue by launching Midori in Fullscreen mode instead, but it's displaying the navbar for some reason. Am I missing something?

For this simple use case, would I be better off running 32-bit Pi OS Lite and an X11 window manager? How?

He's proposing trains should do the 'Long Haul' portion.

Average Joe because he pulled the trigger.
The prosecutor because he was the one on site, in charge, and allowed unsafe conditions to persist even after many employees walked out due to the dangerous conditions.

Because homes were still affordable then.

1988 Median Household Income ~27k
1988 Median Home Price ~113k
So a home was 4x annual salary

For 2023 the numbers were ~59k and ~$418k Roughly 7x annual salary.

15¢ per double edge blade is high unless you're only buying 10 or 20 blades at a time. Get the 100 count pack and you're paying under 7¢ per blade... Each blade should easily last 3-7 shaves depending on your hair, more if you have tough skin ;)
