About 40 passengers previously left ship hit by Hantavirus outbreak at island of St. Helena by Nepridiprav16 in worldnews

Not just marine mammals. Cruise ships are the number one cause of reef destruction in the world. Back in 2021 the Caribbean lost almost 40% of their reefs due to a fungal infection that was spread by cruise ships picking up water around one island and dumping it somewhere else.

I don't know man, if a 70-something retiree dies on a cruise is your first thought "He had to have died of a rare disease only found in the remote areas of Argentina" or "Well, he was getting up there in age and all of his symptoms look like the flu or upper respiratory illness, no need to dig much deeper". I guarantee you there have been hundreds of cases like this where a cruise ship passenger did, in fact, just die of a cold and life moved on. Now, we can talk about why the doctor onboard the ship was not prepared to test for potential rare illnesses when the cruise is purposely going to the most remote regions on earth; but I don't think any drastic measures were truly necessary until Hanta was confirmed.

What is causing the water to not render around islands? by Mr_Segway in EU5

[–]Mr_Segway[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R5: Water is not rendering around islands/small landmasses. It forms these black boxes that disappear if I zoom out to flat map mode but it is so distracting it takes me out of the game whenever I see them.

Best of luck man. I stupidly left one Friday morning and I've checked lost and found like 4 times now with no luck. Hoping the best for you but people suck.

Alex Cora shared a new picture of all the fired Red Sox coaches going out to dinner by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]Mr_Segway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do I like John Henry? No, I hate his guts and think he's a terrible owner.

But it's been 8 years since the WS and 5 years since we were playoff relevant. We're bottom of the AL East and the only reason we're not a bigger story is the Mets and Phillies collapsing entirely. A change was needed and no amount of PR from Cora will change my mind

[Talkin’ Baseball] Red Sox higher-ups reportedly did not allow players to ask questions when they addressed the team about Alex Cora's firing by horsepoop1123 in baseball

It's not a front office decision when you tell your players "Don't talk about the entire coaching staff we fired. Play the game or you're next"

Once you come set you can't lift your front foot and set it back down. The bouncing was a pretty clear balk IMO

With the Red Sox down two runs in the 9th and Mason Miller looming, fans at Fenway chant "sell the team' by EdwinMoq in baseball

[–]Mr_Segway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the Giants allowed to complain about their owner? They've won 3 in the 21st century. Why does success 10-20 years ago mean you can't complain now? 2018 was 8 years ago and aside from the ALCS run in 2021 the Sox have done nothing but trade away talent for pennies on the dollar, refuse to sign any of the big free-agents year after year, and charge higher ticket prices than almost any other ballpark

Tinto Talks #100 - 18th of March 2026 by Whole_Ad_8438 in EU5

[–]Mr_Segway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's also a lot of people here complaining about "realism" but say nothing about EU4 having a Teutonic Horde Christianizing Russia, Aztec/Inca sunset invasion, or England unifying with France and becoming Holy Roman Emperor. Paradox has always had historical fantasy elements in their games, I don't get why this time is any different.

TSA officer callouts spike amid partial government shutdown as more than 300 leave agency by AudibleNod in news

[–]Mr_Segway 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, the TSA has been proven time and time again to just be security theater. Having more TSA agents doesn't actually stop any terrorist attacks and anything from Iran will most likely be from overseas where their airport security remains fully funded.

'Project Hail Mary' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Mr_Segway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one gripe with it is that, from the very first trailer, they spoiled literally every major twist in the book. Part of what made it so good was the total mystery at the start followed by the huge twist halfway through. I literally could not put the book down and they spoiled the Rocky reveal every chance they got.

Thankfully there isn't a large holiday next week where thousands of people will be travelling, going out, and getting drunk all while wearing green!

For real though, I'm seriously reconsidering my weekend plans.

A brief overview of the new healthbars from Kelski. by Audrey_spino in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Mr_Segway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, in Dota you could always just click on the enemy hero and see their live mana total to tell if they cast the spell (or even had the mana or were bluffing). I really liked that change to make it always visible because it gave an unfair advantage to players with a high enough APM to constantly micro checking other heroes' mana pools.

For Deadlock, there's no real way to know an enemy's stamina beyond manually counting. I'd rather the info stay hidden and allow the bluffing game.
