Further updates from Finnish presser: ️Remains unclear still if strike is intentional or accidental so investigation still being treated as gross sabotage. ️Chinese vessel <NEWNEW POLAR BEAR> remains under investigation. Important Context: <NEWNEW POLAR BEAR> vessel managed in joint venture with Russian entity and was near Russian icebreaker <SEVMORPUT> at time of seismic event suggesting pipeline strike timing. Important Context: fact anchor was dragged several kilometers (and that there is damage also ~200 km away at the Sweden-Estonia telecoms cable (confirmed by Estonia to be connected to the Balticconnector & FEC cable damage)… …may suggest intentional action since many recent media reported cable cuts from accidental anchor drags elsewhere appear to be caused by weather or ship motion only starting a few hundreds of meters from damage site… …(vessel anchors then either it’s negligent motion or weather action drag anchor into subsea infrastructure). Both vessels were traveling over ~10knots the entire path through all three damage sites according to AIS data so no slowdown for anchoring appears to have happened… Time will tell what is to blame, but the investigations of all three damage sites continue:

You're right, Otis is the only Cat 5 while making landfall, and therefore the strongest ever during landfall.

Yes, but... The author hopes the hearing date will be in February or March. A ruling would probably be much later than that. The court granted the Biden administration request to pause the lower court's order about "censorship." IOW, "Keep in carrying on to carry on while we make a decision."

Pennies. Hot glue. Silly Putty. Shotgun. Fantastic.

@Axtremus said in 7 / 8 time: The top left corner of the page, the notes right after the word “Precipitato” suggest to you how to count: 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 Ah, thank you!

As good a place as any to post this. Some shit you neither asked for nor will ever care about: I have this thing where I think up fun pet duos I wanna get along with their names. Ex: I want to get a white weegie kitteh and a black chow and name them Crisco & Smudge. They would be friends and go on adventures. Or a black hamster and his Caracal pal, named (respectively) Sooty and Fuzz Lightyear.

How tragic. The mom clearly missed an opportunity to use a "Buy 3, get 1 free" sales tactic.

I hope it is wildly successful. Pediatric gender clinics should be uninsurable, at least in their current form.

If they outlaw Kools then only outlaws would own Kools.

That fog can be horrendous down there. Odd, it's kinda warm for it...

@Axtremus said in Ice Age Termination Event?: @George-K said in Ice Age Termination Event?: Every time I see a video like this, it makes me wonder about what small, minuscule, part we play in the big scheme of global temperatures, etc. I thought I heard that video’s narration saying human activities can account for “half” of the post-2006 rise of methane emission. Maybe I heard wrong (too lazy to go back and check). “Half” would not be minuscule. Half and half is only 10% fat, which implies half is 5%. 5% is minuscule. Please think before you post, I don't have time to correct misinformation all day.

AirPod case is MagSafe compatible though

Poetry in this form is completely dead. And the humanities have killed it. You want to find poetry today, you'll find it in hip hop, poetry slams (to some extent), and independent artists trying to make names for themselves on TikTok. You aren't going to find any in some damn "literary journal."
