I think the lesson here is that if there is an 8.0+ quake in Wyoming/Montana... everyone needs to go to Florida.

Playing scrabble with a Bostonian is hilarious. No, it's not "harba".

I have no idea what happened to the glass bottom boat tho. At that time, it had been hauled out and was sitting on land while racking up fees. I don't think it ever floated again. Would have been a neat operation to own tho. But you have to "pay the piper" to do any business in that park.

Not much would surprise me in Biscayne Bay. Previous vendor had glass bottom boat. Went out of biz during gov shutdown. I evaluated a bid to take over the vendor operations, but in due diligence I found so much corruption at park and local level that I never even wanted to step foot on the place.

USCG usually finds some level of fault to both parties in a collision, with the exception being those restricted in their ability to maneuver. If he was anchored, flying the proper shapes., its basically the same as running into an island. But they'll also look at the COI, toxicity, etc.

On a personal note... I think (don't know for sure) that this is the exact same barge that drove the pylons in for our new dock in the Keys that we built after Hurricane Irma. I watched the guy quite a bit, if he wasn't anchored, the winds would blow him clear across the canal with little warning.

Rule 18 of the COLREGs states a power-driven vessel must keep clear of a sailing vessel. However, when these barges are working, they anchor to hold position. In such a case, it would be considered "restricted in its ability to maneuver" if using proper day shapes, the sail vessel must keep clear.

Third child dies nearly a week after a boat collision near Miami, Coast Guard says The U.S. Coast Guard says a third child has died nearly a week after a barge struck and sank a boat during a sailing camp near Miami.

These barges are mostly used for driving in pylons (telephone poles) into the seabed for building docks. They're difficult to maneuver. The crane is basically a big sail and very susceptible to wind. If he was anchored (while working), fault will be the sailboat's. If he wasn't, it'll be his fault.

The VA cut off his meds, and the way things are heading there will sadly be a lot more of this happening in the future. I feel badly for his family and the victimโ€™s families. F*ck this timeline.

Every bar in Montana has guest weapons. I think... You never know when they'll find a den of wolf puppies in the parking lot.

This is actually rather common in America. A&W created a third-pounder in the 1980s to compete with McD's quarter pounder at the same price and it flopped because Americans believed "1/3" was less than a "1/4".

Ditch tariffs, tax the ultrawealthy above 80% after their first $10M. It worked in the 50s and 60s and gave us the biggest economic boom in world history.

Someone could have murdered him. It wasn't them. There's a strong chance the guy was drinking, took a piss and fell off the back his boat too. That happens quite a bit in the world.

And that's not wild conspiracy theory. The President of Israel (Chaim Herzog) gave the eulogy at her father's funeral. There was more Mossad in attendance than blood relatives, because that is her family. They'd barely have to rub two neurons together to figure out how to get her out of there.

It's not about "nasty". I don't care if they sit on that platform and watch the Superbowl with pizza and beer. The point is, there is no chance they're touching soil. My concern with "camp cupcakes" is there's little fence, no security gate. She has Mossad connections. She can walk out at anytime.

Personally, I think we should just convert a derelict offshore platform into a prison specifically for people who commit sexual crimes against children. It can be completely on the up and up, but just make sure they can't touch soil.

'Most horrible thing Iโ€™ve ever seen:' 7 charged in child sex ring run out of Alabama concrete bunker At least some of the 10 victims, ranging in age from 3 to 15, were sometimes restrained and incapacitated for people who paid for sexual contact, authorities alleged.

The only difference between these people and Ghislaine Maxwell is that she has money and connections. These kids have lost their childhood, as did her victims. There is no amount of psychological help that can ever restore that. They're going to do hard time. She's in a country club.
