In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

There was a Canada goose in the parking lot. Ralph was chattering at it. Talk about out of his weight class...

One time there was a hawk perched on a sign by our parking lot, and Ozzie was chattering at it. Good to have goals, I guess. He was 16.5 pounds of muscle. He might've had a chance, had he surprised it.

In his mind, surely. I don't think picking a fight with corvids would go too well, though. They hold grudges.

There was a crow in the parking lot. Ralph was losing his tiny damn mind. And a squirrel.

Babylon 5 is really kind of Lord of the Rings in space, isn't it?

This is true, sadly.

Good to hear. I do still like Vampire Survivors, but...it's almost got too much content, if that makes sense.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2f0... This was a really good breakdown of what happened. Nobody really was at fault, but the US Coast Guard really phoned it in and tried to blame the crew. It was a colossal case of shit happening.

Thought it was just rain? Or did it freeze some, too?

Latest Current won't complete startup - black display. I upgraded from Current of last July to current-2025-11-05 today, and landed myself in trouble. My box has AMD cpu, motherboard & RX6600XT

www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sl... This is the linux equivalent of "I made your brownie recipe and it didn't work. I substituted the chocolate for carob, black beans for flour, applesauce for oil, chickpea liquid for eggs, and left out all the sugar."

Just for kicks I had it write thank you notes once, and it did a pretty good job. (Just hypothetical. I wouldn't send them, although I loathe writing thank you notes.)

Meaning it causes injuries? Seems like there's always some beef between pickleball players and people who want to use the space for anything else.

It's kind of the vibe where Alice Starmore expects you to buy her yarn to do her projects.

Pretty much. Like just from that article, I don't see much of a problem? We're not talking Mexican night at the Great British Bake Off.

I get their beef...but they're also being a bit precious about it, too.
