2·1 year agoCNN’s credibility is pretty questionable these days … I’ll wait for better vetted evidence, thanks (and, from the sounds coming outta Mr. Smith’s office, there’s plenty).
1·1 year agoThey build, sell tickets, and launch from somewhere … OceanGate is run from offices in Everett, Washington, USA.
It should have been avoided. Facts tell us very clearly it could not have been: there has been zero regulatory appetite for this activity, in the U.S. or elsewhere. And adventure-seekers will amuse themselves even at the expense of other’s lives. Amoral profiteers abound. Caveat Emptor.
3·1 year agoOur mastador, Agie, was our 25th wedding anniversary gift to each other. Big black dog I wanted to name Silver but husband vetoed (our friends already think I’m a bit ‘special’) so Agie it was. Most recent Newfoundland we named Skadi. She loved winter but couldn’t hunt worth a lick and was only fierce with snowballs stuck between her toes. She was a love muffin…
2·1 year agoNearest Target to me is an hour away. I really thought our one local bank surely had wifi (no, of course a bank doesn’t have wifi, silly, security too big a risk, duh). It’s our little teeny 1930s public library or nothing. So this San Francisco story hit me square in the chops as something like that here would take away our only free access point. Why would anybody do that?!?
I live in a rural area without broadband access. Any quality broadband access. During the pandemic, kids sat in their parents’ cars (typically after they got home from work) to do their remote-learning homework in front of the public library to get free access to decent connection speeds AND access the library files electronically (for California check here https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/ebooks-for-all/ - every state has an equivalent ). People, including kids, check out books (and periodicals) electronically 24/7.
Publicly funded but not for the public.
And before anyone makes a comment about the unhoused probably not paying taxes … neither do any of the children or retirees who use the service every single day of the year.
We’ve pretty much just abandoned any concept of citizenship or civic responsibility…

Lost my Newf 3 weeks ago … the sweetness of this breed is heartwarming. Thank you for posting 💕
Had anyone actually seen him since the mutiny? Or is this just Russian way to tie up loose ends…
