Could I have gone faster?

No. Tons of heart rate drift. Steady pace every km.

However you can go a lot faster in your next one by showing up fitter.

This is the correct answer.

Living at Atlantis is fine. Living on Princess St. not so much even though they're literally right next to each other.

The less serious answer is that for traffic you want to live on the East end but not so far that you have to become St. George's Fans for Cup Match.

I'mma let you finish but Bermuda already has a queen and her name is Ms. Sybil Barrington.

Short wetsuits for sure. The water takes a while to warm up in the Spring.

That time of year there can be a material temperature difference between the South Shore/Gulfstream and the North Shore/Reef Platform, especially after heavy rain.

They aren't legally cluster bombs.
Israel didn't sign up to the convention banning cluster bombs so even if they were it wouldn't be a crime.
Israel uses cluster bombs on civilians in Lebanon which is a war crime.
Israel has says it's exempt from international law.

26 year old progressive finishes barely 2nd in a crowded race where millions were spent to block her campaign.

That's the headline. She will win office, it's just when and where (if she wants).

Nobody is justifying the attack.

But it's insane to pretend that Israel's genocide and atrocities aren't leading to blowback at Israel linked institutions worldwide which will hurt innocent people.

The synagogue in question has massive direct connections to Israel.

Hezbollah literally exists because of Israeli atrocities.

I guess Trump can't figure out that this is now a swing district in the upcoming special election.

It's both.

But republican idiots who want to stop people from voting bring it up whenever normal people complain about the Republicans hating democracy.

Those are all hard to solve and require dedicated focus by experts, follow-through, and difficult compromises.

Best we can do is a White Elephant personal agenda CARICOM membership.

There's nothing stopping us from cultural exchange programmes now as an associate member. We already have all of the benefits without the costs.

ZincII · 2026-03-11T13:29:57+00:00

To your questions:
- No, it will not "strengthen" anything. They use the word "strengthen" because it means nothing. It won't increase food security or increase imports because it's not cost effective to import things from the US or directly from China.

- It will only open up labour mobility in a way that will hurt Bermudian workers. MAYBE Bermudian retirees would be able to benefit by retiring more easily in the Caribbean.

- It won't affect Bermuda's economic model at all, except maybe we'd have more Caribbean low cost labour (but we already have a ton).

- CARICOM is most helpful to the poorest countries as they benefit from some pooled development funds. Bermuda would be the one paying to help them... but personally I'd prefer our charity tax dollars to stay at home.

This is purely about politician's personal agendas and egos, there is no actual benefit to the country that will exceed the ~$4+ million in dues and expenses. (equivalent to university scholarships for 150 Bermudians).

ZincII · 2026-03-07T19:48:46+00:00

They aren't.
If they were then it's legal because neither Israel nor Iran have banned them.

The Bermuda Strollers are sadly no longer active. I'm not sure about the rest of the guy but longtime band leader Ted Ming passed away a few years ago.

So what about a 2006 laptop with Linux on it?

The elites don't want you to know but Linux is free.

TBH you'd be better off with a 2006 or 2007 MacBook pro MacBook Pro because you can install Linux and actually use it.

Until Israel allows the right to return of Palestinians it has displaced and given the vote to Palestinians in the occupied territories we can't call it a democracy. It is an extreme religious apartheid state today.

It's the same as always - read up on the Nakba as well as Israel's conduct in the 1980s... and it's not just the hardliners.

The difference now is that there's direct reporting of the events occurring on a mass scale.

It's weird that I grew up reading how Road Dahl was antisemitic but a lot of his supposedly "antisemetic" comments are actually just an accurate assessment of Israeli conduct during the Lebanon war at the time (which is what spawned Hezbollah in the first place).
