    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cargo-ship-sinks-3000-new-vehicles-fire-alaska/ A cargo ship that had been delivering new vehicles to Mexico sank in the North Pacific Ocean, weeks after crew members abandoned ship when they couldn't extinguish an onboard fire that left the carrier dead in the water. The Morning Midas sank Monday in international water off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain, the ship's management company, London-based Zodiac Maritime, said in a statement. "There is no visible pollution," said Petty Officer Cameron Snell, an Alaska-based U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson. "Right now we also have vessels on scene to respond to any pollution." The Coast Guard said that the vessel reportedly had 350 metric tons of marine gas oil and 1,530 metric tons of very low sulfur fuel oil onboard.

    @Horace said in That’s more than George can do in a month: Cool and all. But when Usain Bolt sets a world record, you know nobody on the planet could beat him. In a case like this, I wonder how many people on the planet could actually beat that. India is known for being big on getting into the Guiness Record Book. Some of the records are pretty goofy, in my opinion. (Quite a few years ago, I met the world's shortest woman. Taiwan had a Ripley Museum and they would bring in people and I went there when they had the shortest woman. She was from South Africa and I think she was happy to talk to me as she was mostly around Chinese-only speaking people. She didn't like Chinese/Taiwanese food, so had fried chicken every night for dinner. LOL)

    @jon-nyc said in Bezos remarries: I thought he canceled yesterday I think just moved the reception to a different location. One that is more private and not accessed too easily.

    I remember that. I do know the photographer. Not a close friend, more of an acquaintance.

    high alcohol + cheap = easy to get drunk for people with very little money and no prospects (though I dont really know if this is the case for the Indian whisky)
