“…this tower is the third prototype in his mission to create a 50-meter (164-foot) monstrosity.”

I.e. small-ish test article, not fully scaled up yet.

Ah, I see the problem. It could be read either way, because prototypes can be full-sized. I would have written it:

" . . . this tower is the third small scale (or scaled-down) prototype in his mission to create a future 50-meter (164-foot) monstrosity.”

Also fooled by the syntax!

Not sure where he can build something that high with no wind complicating things, but I look forward to the final result.

Not sure if this is the thread for it, but why not.

Last night I dreamed I got a note from the US Army, typed with a typewriter in all caps, on a waiter’s pad. They wanted me to meet with Arlo Guthrie for some project or other.

I told the guy who gave me the note “you know I’m a pacifist, right? And I really hate Trump and am not going to do anything to promote any of his agendas? And seriously, Arlo Guthrie? Does the Army just want us to make some weird ambient-folk protest music…?”

He told me, “they know, and I think you’ll want to see this.” So I agreed, drove to Arlo Guthrie’s house, and it turned out this was being set up by the dragon who was secretly really in charge of the army. And then I woke up, thinking of the cliche from the Shadowrun games, “never make a deal with a dragon.”
