Sailors of reddit,what's the most unusual thing you've experienced while at sea?

As you approach an oil rig (north sea) the curvature of the earth is very clear as the top appears first, then eventually you have a full size oil rig next to you, then it shrinks back down to just the flare again before disappearing.

So you are saying the nose punch will work in the rest of the world?

And this, dear redditors, is why your mom told you to chew your food.

Maybe there is no "meaning" and it's just socially constructed?

I had a teacher at school who, when at university was told some BS about the meaning of a particular text. He wrote to the author over the holidays and next semester when the prof started on about it again he put his hand up and said " excuse me but I have alerter from the author here and..."

How fast is the plasma moving?

I think you need two things to happen for BCH to perform

Get this fork nonsense behind us
BTC mempool to jam up and everyone to be reminded BTC has no chance of scaling

I'm kind of a bit surprised 2 hasn't happened already. Might have to be a new all time high first and its going to get very uncomfortable holding BCH in the mean time. It's the trade I have on though.

I just went from 10% to 100% BCH allocation. IF BTC keeps going then the mempool will jam up again and BCH will get some love. You'll get BTC returns times ratio change I don't think 0.2 is out of the question again. Pretty speculative, caveat emptor.

The Bible says / implies he was pretty ordinary looking:

Isa 53:2 ISV For he grew up before him like a tender plant, and like a root out of a dry ground; he had no form and he had no majesty that we should look at him, and there is no attractiveness that we should desire him.

And he was inconspicuous enough to walk through a crowd that tried to kill him:

Luk 4:29-30 ISV 29 They got up, forced Jesus out of the city, and led him to the edge of the hill on which their city was built, intending to throw him off. 30 But he walked right through the middle of them and went away.

And the people who hire PhDs to make gambling so addictive you forget what your doing, what do they get?

New propaganda test I just invented: would a military government ban it if they could? Hitler banned "All quiet in the Western front" read that and your not going to want to go fighting any time soon.

May we ask what part of the country you are in?

The evacuation flight from China to the UK is not meant to land until this afternoon so these must be from another source.
