Except the bio hacking vitamin nut jobs. Their remains belong in a superfund site.

Some of us paid it to import companies prior to delivery (DHL charged us an extra $40 bucks for a couple items my wife bought online).

Yeah one of the things you learn in lifeguard class is that it’s a wrestling match against the person you’re trying to rescue if they aren’t compliant (many aren’t and you can’t assume they will be).

LIFESAVING

The lifesaving portion at BUDS is a little bit of wrestling, a little bit of swimming, and a little bit of weight lifting.

It’s all procedural - it is pass or fail - it is not timed. You do not need to rush.

You start by jumping into the pool using a stride jump - or what I like to call a very slow step into the water. A stride jump is basically spreading your legs as far apart as possible like your taking one giant step. You are trying to create as much surface area as possible so your head doesn’t go under the water. Your arms do the same thing, out to your sides. You must maintain eye contact on your victim the entire time.

From there, you will swim head up freestyle to your victim, maintaining visual on your drowning victim.

For a compliant, non combative victim, you’ll simply grab them by the wrist and pull them into your tow. This is the wrestling portion of lifesaving and should be fast and aggressive. For an uncompliant, combative victim, you need to dive under the water, grab the victim by the hips and turn them so that their back is facing you. Now crawl up there back and get them into your tow. You must be aggressive.

I’m just wondering how nobody in the Maritimes noticed 1960s land fill washing away. I also wondered why the people in the Orkneys would expect 80s and 90s trash after 60s and 70s trash, when the newer trash would be on top and would have washed away first.

Or maybe frozen in ocean ice after collecting in a bay.

I wonder if any of the older plastic was previously frozen in icebergs?

Sounds like Nova Scotia had coastal land fills that are eroding into the sea. Seems like containing it there before it washes away would d be easier.

Most of the old V8s had been replaced with Lada 4 cylinders by the 90s.

It wasn’t romantic that they were stuck with 50s cars, then forced to keep them running with Soviet spare parts.

Similar vein to nobody speak.

After pre-masticating your own face for it.

Gonna take many camera angles to convince me it’s not genAI slop.

Still waiting on that Lindsey Graham news to drop. My money is on dead boy

Time to focus on jailbreak cars. We need to kill off the DMCA now!

Cali has amazing not quite Mexican food too.

You’d think the kiddie porn generating ai would be enough to ban it and sanction Musk.

Everywhere.

Yeah as a helper to 3 different elderly dementia relatives, it varies day to day and sleep schedules affect it. Also sunlight and mornings seemed to be the most coherent/aware times in general. Sun-downing is very much a thing and made evenings some of the hardest moments.

Read the comment again, they’re talking about the farming parts of California not wanting to joined the rest of the state in leaving.

Don’t they grow most of the food?

Democrats would have to effectively organize and train in a large enough group to not just be instantly wiped out or imprisoned as “insurrectionists”. Technically it would be an insurrection, but with some outside help or military backing it could turn into a coup.

Does the rest of the world want a destabilized civil warring nuclear state? It’s not likely to stay contained even in the western hemisphere.

The European aristocracy was “absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed. European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic.”[134]

History rhyming again I guess.

If we had real AGI and not just shitty chatbots, we could tell them to melt their GPUs for the good of the planet.

They’ve been the same for my entire life now. What do you think Nixon and his pals (some of whom are still in politics) were?
