Bogotá is at 2640 m, so there is more unfiltered radiation. Like 20-25% more UV. And it's cooler so you don't notice it as much as you should. You can get sunburns even with clouds at that altitude.
I have enjoyed Atlas Obscura for 15 years probably, but the site is now unusable on my phone unless I’m at home on the pi-hole. I can’t get halfway through an article without the page reloading, shifting boxes, and various other things that make it literally impossible to finish reading. What is the point
In those 15 years, did you send them any money? I suspect the point is “we don’t make enough money to keep writing cool articles that keep people coming back for 15 years.”
I have photographs from the Poblado district of Medellín, Colombia of a man who had strung a tightrope between two lightpoles of a side street, and tightwalked them carrying hoops and bowling pins that he juggled while cars passed below.
Anyone trying this in the U.S. would be arrested, so it was surprising to see. I wonder how the insurance works.
Been living here in Bogotá all my life and in all my years of commuting (walking, bus and now almost exclusively cycling) and have never seen one of them.
Though I wish there were more of them. Traffic here (in general terms) is a complete nightmare but it is too civic culture.

if you can accept the latency, tailscale your phone to your home network
