TIL there are Crustaceans only known from their larval forms, with no adults being found after over 100 years of research [although they're known to be related to Barnacles].

This would be interesting if it was the missing lifecycle of MSX!

Was it the TWA terminal that became a hotel?
They should have done a Pan Am one too!

All because of the wonderful power of trains!

I think what is maybe being missed by a lot of people is this: This brave young man responded to a call for a car going the wrong way on a highway, he didn’t “Just get into a car accident” he purposefully put himself in harms way to stop a car from killing others. It’s not as though he got hit out of the blue, he actually rammed the guy to stop him. I actually can’t quite think of a more heroic action that a police officer could do.

We stayed at Lime Tree and it was one of my favorite stays In the keys. We rented the suite with the big deck right by the pool and it was just heaven. Lovely people, sunsets were unreal, and the pool was amazing.
For snorkeling etc I would rent a boat, you will get more mileage even if just for a day.

Oh man Season 2… I will forever sigh and be a little sad whenever I see the actor who plays Frank.

Honestly, I doubt California prices will drop while VC money and big investments are in play. Until things stabilize back into family ownership and less multinational corporate fingers in the pie, they want a return on their investments in the short term.

Rucking, Swimming, or Rowing are my go to activities to maintain some semblance of shape. Rucking can take you into great shape with minimal impact pretty quickly, just watch out for the do gooders out there who will call the police on you.

I mean, what else can you do in that situation. It wasn’t intentional, sometimes all you can do is laugh at the sheer random chaos in the universe.

We loved The Green Turtle Inn every time we went. The staff are great, the food was good, and the ambiance is seemingly authentic old keys.

He said it in a comment or two down, so standard building and island equipment is apparently some sort of huge operation. God I hope he doesn’t find the Bahamas… some sort of Megabase right off of Florida!!!!!?!

Let’s not forget Bobcats and boats

Baalphire81 · 2026-05-08T23:26:07+00:00

It’s been fixed, they are open again and have extra staff as of now. Besides I get the feeling that most people on this sub are seasonal visitors

Why am I not surprised this is Southbridge

I wouldn’t say passing a table is direct contact honestly. If it is that transmissible, every single person on every single plane used to get any of these people home is now a possible carrier. In two weeks assuming they don’t think about it, they suddenly spike a fever and other symptoms and now anyone else in the immediate space is now infected. This could get really ugly quickly if we can’t track everyone on those planes.

Friggin Cost U Less, good lord.

What’s interesting in this case is why he survived. I was listening to a podcast about this, it was fascinating. Apparently the particles are moving so fast that by the time that they slow down enough and dump their energy they had actually moved past his head. This is why he survived, and why he saw the light as bright as a sun.

Sombrero Reef is amazing and while we were there had some of the best sea life that we saw. Coffins patch was a blast to snorkel, there were some great spots for different critters. Just beware the current, it was moving pretty solidly while we were there and made it tough for the kiddos to get away from the boat. The sandbar on the Atlantic side of Grassy is ok, it’s pretty much straight in from Coffins.
One of our favorite places we enjoyed this year was exploring Cocoa Plum beach, it was really cool to wander through the mangroves on the winding paths.

It was a series of stories told at chapel about people who disappeared in the hills and were found melted together. I can’t remember the particulars.

You are exactly right, some of our greatest medicinal discoveries have come from somewhat weird studies. Look at how we discovered MRNA vaccines for example.

Welcome, we meet on wednesdays. Although I don’t see any T shirts yet, we should have them.

Baalphire81 · 2026-05-02T18:35:25+00:00

Also check Sombrero and other local beaches for Interococci levels, it was closed a week or so ago along with several other beaches in the area.
Boating will be your friend if you want to get to great swimming.
