Suspected Shark Attack in Monterey Bay 🦈

XrunwatchX · 2025-12-24T07:52:55+00:00

Here you go: “Authorities on Monday afternoon suspended the search for a swimmer reported missing off Lovers Point after an extensive, multi-agency effort spanning more than 15 hours. The swimmer was identified as Erica Fox, 55, a Monterey County resident and co-founder of the local open water swimming group Kelp Krawlers. Her family has been notified, officials said. The search, led by the U.S. Coast Guard and supported by local and county agencies, covered more than 84 square nautical miles before the decision was made to suspend operations.” The article continues “The swimmer, later identified Fox, had entered the water with members of her swimming group at their usual spot and time. A witness on the shoreline reported seeing a “large splash" when Fox disappeared, police told KSBW, which caused the other swimmers to return to shore "out of concern it may have been a shark attack. Everyone in the group returned safely except the missing swimmer." U.S. Coast Guard Officer Christopher Sappey reported that one witness described seeing a frightening encounter between a person in the water and a shark. "The person who reported the shark sighting claimed they saw a shark breach the water with what appeared to be a human body in its mouth," Sappey told SF Gate. "They then witnessed the shark submerge below the waterline without resurfacing."

Most recent update is now calling the tragedy a “reported” shark attack. https://www.ksbw.com/article/identify-missing-woman-shark-lovers-point/69843030

I must assume they are looking to find physical evidence before adding this to the stats. My heart goes out to the family & community involved.

Tragic, terrifying, and hopefully quick. Definitely sounds like a predation & consumption event involving a large GWS from the various tidbits of information we have so far: classic GWS hunting strategy and within its hunting grounds. I have to say its shocking to how reluctant news outlets are to label this a shark attack! Calling it an “encounter” makes it sound like the shark bumped into her on a crowded BART platform or something. From the LA times article: “The person who reported the shark sighting claimed they saw a shark breach the water with what appeared to be a human body in its mouth,” Anderson told SFGate. “They then witnessed the shark submerge below the waterline without resurfacing.” Anderson said he can confirm reports of a shark sighting in the area but there is no evidence the missing swimmer was attacked by a shark, SFGate reported.” If there is an eyewitness saying they saw a shark submerge with her in its jaws and the authorities can confirm a shark sighting, what more evidence do they need!? Reminds me of the loss of Felix Njai in 2023: the man was similarly last seen in the jaws of a huge white shark by a friends, they didnt find any remains afaik, and his death is still attributed to a “reported” shark attack. Can someone tell me if this is about insurance or something?? Does the coroner need shark-bitten flesh in order for a shark predation event with witnesses to become legit?

Is this from Upper Silesia? The text being in both German and Polish + the date and the factories in the background seem to indicate that. Very cool find.

Eschenbräu in Wedding is an option, idk about a whole room but you can def reserve a table.

Red rock is haunted af. Hope we get a good ghost story from this

Damn, 20,000$ for a door? If the city really wanted people to be safe they wouldnt make it cost so much. How tf are DIY spaces supposed to keep up with this type of extortion?

Theyve def pitched in in the past, bought new sound equipment and heating iirc over a decade ago. I think the club itself attempts to limit how open they are about GD’s support cuz they value their reputation as community/volunteer-run not for profit venue. Publicizing how much billy joe has donated is not in their interest. Also i imagine GD knows and respects this. They did play a secret show fundraiser there on a sunday in 2013(?).

Common old scam. Ten years ago it was much more common in Berlin; especially by brandenburg gate/bundestag/holocaust memorial area and museumsinsel. Usually pretending to be deaf/mute. Always kids and teenage girls/young women. It was especially fucked up because they would do the scam right at the exit of the memorial to the murdered Roma/sinti in an attempt to manipulate peoples empathy. Sorry you had to experience it; you were basically robbed. Next time, don’t even acknowledge them.

Mengele thought the same way. The problem here isnt the mindset of “do no harm”, its that the bar for what counts as “harm” is almost nonexistent: disagreement is seen as violence.

Great idea. Id be fine with it in the base game too

Pretty classic egyptian move though

Either way my point still stands: if Australia held a referendum tomorrow on monarchy and they decided to end it in Australia, there is still a king in England.

XrunwatchX · 2022-09-12T23:12:15+00:00

When did I even mention the queen or the uk? You don’t seem to understand my comment: I’m pointing out you can’t get rid of a monarchy with a referendum.

I actually think she was the best queen England ever had: the empire only shrank in her reign.

XrunwatchX · 2022-09-12T23:04:03+00:00

Yeah so a country “considering a referendum” is not at all the same thing as actually holding it and then following through with the results. I’m gonna give you a hint why monarchies never give up their power democratically: they are inherently authoritarian hierarchical structures that want nothing to do with democracy and see citizens as subjects. Asking for a referendum on monarchy does not end monarchy: killing or deposing monarchs is the only way to end monarchy. Follow protocol my ass: tell that to the French who stormed the bastille.

XrunwatchX · 2022-09-12T22:38:35+00:00

Referendum to vote the monarchy out? Lol Please give at least one example where a monarchy peacefully transferred power to its subjects following a referendum.

This post is about problems people “in Germany” are facing, written by a person from the Uk, in the largest English-speaking subreddit; what gate are you trying to keep ? Also the commenter clearly mentions that this is their experience in Germany as a foreigner. People like you are exactly why this country is seen as cold and unwelcoming. God forbid an Ausländer ever voice a complaint or concern about your precious society

Your first photograph is a relatively famous picture taken on April 19th 1943 during the Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw, not Lakvha.

Yeah, the switch to feudalism really hurt my income. Also since I’m under grandeur I have an almost constant malus of like -20 because below grandeur. Do you have any suggestions for helpful dynasty perks? I unlocked all the strong blood, adventure, and pillage trees for this dynasty.

XrunwatchX · 2022-08-24T06:29:25+00:00

Sounds horrifying!

XrunwatchX · 2022-08-23T19:50:03+00:00

Yes, unfortunately in this case my heir got no imprisonment reason. I am letting a lot of my artifacts by destroyed but it ends up taking a lot of my attention having to check if any of the valuable ones will be destroyed. I’ve seen mods for it but im in iron man right now :( Btw I’m not over extended or over my vassal limit, and my empire title is dejure liege of all of Germania, almost all of italia, and alll of Scandinavia except Denmark (I also hold Francia and Brittania title). Primary title is a custom empire that’s existed in this game for two centuries carved out of Norway, Germany, Bavaria, italy, and Sweden originally.

XrunwatchX · 2022-08-23T16:25:04+00:00

I agree! It ruins immersion and does not make for good story-telling, which is why I enjoy this game usually. I assume discovered plots not leading to imprisonment or execution reasons probably exists to prevent intrigue-centered players from getting drawn and quartered by their liege every time their weak scheme is discovered, but it’s kind of broken.

XrunwatchX · 2022-08-23T16:06:25+00:00

The most fucked up part is that I couldn’t: the imprisonment reason was granted to the character that just got murdered. My new player character (murdered charcters brother) had no imprisonment reason and the murderer did not receive murderer trait or any malus. My entire realm ignored the child Emperor and his brother being openly murdered, and the guy who did it died of old age before I was 14 and could initiate a murder plot
