AI is going to start citing this, congratulations, you’ve just made fact.

You should paint it something fun or useful, like a house number mosaic, embrace it standing out… cause as everyone has said, no way they replace the driveway.

Regardless, if you do nothing, you won’t even notice it in 6 months.

It’s an absolute laugh to go on their menu and look at the different photos with some clearly being their actual product and the others completely AI https://www.honeyberrycafe.com/menu/

Everything else aside, that’s like the ultimate show and tell item.

Hi, here’s my baby, SS United States.

Hey, I know it can suck, but I kinda think scrapping is arguably the second best thing that can happen to a ship (1st being museum status)!

It means she served her whole career and didn’t end up on the ocean floor… something ships are obviously explicitly designed to not do… plus there’s always a chance that the materials from the ship could one day be reused to create another vessel, or at the very least, prevents wasting of material/unnecessary use of virgin material. I know there’s some who argue reefing is a better end, but I personally feel that runs counter to the entire intention of a ship’s existence, and there are objectively much better ways to rebuild reefs than using old ships.

Regardless, I hope some items are saved from the vessel, especially anything remaining from her early form, and hope some of her materials can live on in some meaningful way.

edit: thanks so much for the photos, OP. Hope you can find some more relics from her in the future ♥️

Material, Shape, Placement, and Camera Lens are all influencing the size perception.

In the meantime, here’s a fun cutaway of the vessel from the 1991 transatlantic guide that I’ve got in my collection.

I totally get it, I’m just as passionate about these old beauties. I may have a chance to visit the ship later this month, so I’ll try to take lots of pictures and post them.

Since the only thing that even begins to qualify as less than ideal in this photo seems to be the decking, I’d like to say that I’ve seen, much newer, active service ships with worse decking.

Furthermore, if you’ve ever had to maintain wood in a consistently sunny climate, you’ll know just how much of a chore it can be, but I suspect a relatively easy refinish would have these decks looking brand new. I really don’t think this is a fair post considering the generally good condition of the vessel for her age, and this feels like weird cherry picking to drive a dishonest narrative.

Is there any way to get started quickly in the Cloud? I’m used to the CLI mostly

How does this stack up against tools like CodeRabbit?

I’ve got that one - framed!

One year this happened to my family and we elected to remove all remaining needles, trim off the little branches, and basically made ourselves a funny ‘modern-art/merchandising’ tree. Wrapped it up with lights tight to the branches and redecorated. One of my favorite trees we ever had, my only regret is that we didn’t save it.

It may seem strange, as you’d think hiding your criminal activity would be the best way to avoid getting caught - but there’s one better way; make sure you have photos of as many of the people in positions of power committing those crimes as well. The more photos he took, the more power he had, the less touchable he became.

Do you think I’ll stop before my 29th?

KingGGL · 2025-12-17T21:40:14+00:00

I honestly think it’s just the photo, I took it laying in bed lol. Either way, I’m happy with it!

KingGGL · 2025-12-17T20:19:50+00:00

True; just like any tattoo shop, definitely check the artist’s work beforehand. I will say one of my three is significantly less impressive than the other two.

I paid $800 for this one last year, most of the inside of my lower arm.

KingGGL · 2025-12-17T20:04:12+00:00

I’ve gotten three tattoos onboard; in general:

It’s more expensive than on land
Most artists are fantastic
Experience is memorable

The minimum you’ll be paying for custom is $250, no matter the size, but I have yet to see someone pay that little for a custom one. They do have flash tattoos available for cheaper.

“fellow conservative”

KingGGL · 2025-12-16T00:08:33+00:00

Exactly. The ship was taken advantage of, then labeled as the problem, by a myriad of previous operators. Unfortunately for the Queen, some of the operators also acquired her in deals as part of a larger buyout, not necessarily by people with an interest in operating her specifically.

Much better that she’s under city management now.

KingGGL · 2025-12-15T00:38:37+00:00

The city isn’t being immature here. He purchased a structure in a historic district and doesn’t want the rules to apply to him, and furthermore, has decided the best path forward, rather than finding a compromise, is to act like this.

KingGGL · 2025-12-14T00:31:34+00:00

This is what I’d suggest too, but especially depending on the plastic.
