  • I just tried it out, went to (https://meet.jit.si/), and the usual put in a room name, and start up a meeting still exists.

  • I looked up to see is my VPN is connected. It is. Good. Moving right along.

  • Wikipedia says 1.6 miles. So it was already heading towards the support when power went out? Ah, I see power went out twice. I had also noted the black smoke in the first video I saw.

  • I did ask Albert to ask his friend Maersk. And I'm twiddling my thumbs. Like a lot. ;-)

  • I find it just as easy to spoon some tea into the tetsubin. Eschew inferior tea.

  • I got thru the 'friends network' that the ship had lost power, and put out a 'mayday' call. This explains why so few cars were on the bridge at the moment of the collision.

  • You can see that the vengeful spirit tore a hole in the side of the ship, and has escaped. So everything's fine now. Just need a new bridge.

  • I'm not sure what this implies. Defective ship? Was it the same captain, 8 years later? What's going on here?

  • coxswain?

  • You misspelled cosine.

  • I've never tasted capoeira!

  • First thing I pulled up said it was de Gaulle. I rather suspect Kissinger got it from de Gaulle, who got it from Palmerston. My point is that I didn't make it up. And this thread demonstrates that it is a long standing sentiment.

  • Strategically, from the US perspective, it was an enormously effective flex. It doesn't matter what Putin says to his people, or the world, but now he knows that the US knew, and could have said nothing. Charles de Gaulle once said, "No nation has friends, only interests."

  • For me it depends on the circumstance. If I'm on the road, an audiobook is great. And hard copy, or digital for all the other times. Tho' I did come across a study that physical hard copy works better for memory. As in, those words exist in a physical location, so one's brain can more readily find the memory.

    Also Eric Bibb, has a song, Turning Pages on his album Booker's Guitar, which you might enjoy. (https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=SKvq-mIOooo)

  • The Party of Law and Order, I've heard that somewhere before. The party that is tough on crime, is another false appellation. smh
