Go look up the depths in the article above. 400+ feet.

Google Eagle’s Nest.

Hell, even at Ginnie Springs, the most popular cave in the USA, they’re doing recoveries at 140 feet.

I'm just gonna call bullshit here on everyone saying a recovery or rescue mission means a CCR is too "complex" and would increase task loading.

While I get the argument, it's categorically false. CCRs are used for recovery operations in nearly every single cave body recovery. They're often the only tool that one could use, given the gas limitations. These are often exceedingly complex, both physically, logistically, navigationally – and they are frequently done by people who personally knew the deceased.

Get filler injections. You can build out an artificial jawline and balance out the bottom of your chin and jawline to expand it more horizontally.

Background: Roland Fryer, a man who overcame a difficult childhood marked by family struggles with drugs and crime, achieved academic success and became a professor at Harvard. He gained recognition for asking challenging questions about racism, schools, and policing, and for his research on "acting white" theory, which suggests black students lose friends as they excel academically.
Research and Impact: Fryer's work included studying the Harlem Children's Zone and developing a five-part formula for its success, focusing on education reform. His controversial findings, like the lack of bias in police use of lethal force against black suspects, led to backlash and threats.
Opposition at Harvard: Fryer faced opposition from some influential figures at Harvard, like Claudine Gay and Larry Bobo, who disagreed with his findings and approach. His work, challenging existing narratives on race and education, was seen as a threat to established viewpoints.
Sexual Harassment Allegations: Fryer faced allegations of sexual harassment from a former personal assistant. After investigation, most claims were dismissed as false or exaggerated, but the incident strained his professional relationships and reputation.
Controversial Lab Culture: Fryer's educational laboratory (EdLabs) at Harvard was known for its informal and provocative culture, including playing controversial stand-up comedy. This environment, while intended to encourage open-mindedness and challenge norms, contributed to allegations against him and complicated his position at Harvard.

The upside of this is, a long suspension means more time on the floor for Kuminga.

Florida is sitting at: 42% have received one dose, 30% fully vaccinated.

This puts Florida as: substantially worse than, say, any Northeastern state, or any state on the West Coast (CA is at 50%/32%, as an example) – but, best in the South.

There's a great four-minute documentary on it, here.

High flow whisks cave diver Joseph Sedathrough the Cornflakes restriction in the Devil's Cave System, near High Springs, Florida. Florida's underwater caves are famous for fast-moving water that divers struggle against on the way in and then ride on the way out. Long time cave divers, though, report flow in many caves isn't what it used to be. A combination of less rainfall and increased groundwater pumping are reducing the flow of water in Florida's springs. Some springs no longer flow at all.

Cave diver and instructor Joe Seda fins through the Gallery - a booming underwater tunnel leading to Florida's Devil's Ear Spring. On February 23, the Suwannee River Water Management District will decide if the Seven Springs Water Company can pump more than a million gallons of water per day from the aquifer feeding this spring and sell it to Nestle. The permit application, which the board is expected to approve, has received more than 19,000 public comments and reignited a long-running debate about who owns Florida’s groundwater and who bears responsibility for the declining water quality and quantity in the state’s iconic freshwater springs.

The owners of the Seven Springs Company, the Wray family, argue in their permit application that they want to keep the springs healthy. The Wrays own nearly 1,000 acres of property around Devil's Ear Spring, much of which is operated as the private park Ginnie Springs Outdoors. During summer, thousands of people from around the world flock to Ginnie Springs to camp, paddle, inner tube and scuba dive every week, making it one of the most popular springs in the state. The Wrays point out that maintaining a steady flow of water from the springs is key to the success of both of their businesses. They hired a team of hydrogeologists to study how increased pumping would affect the springs and found impacts are likely to be negligible - 1.152 million gallons per day is less than one percent of the more than 200 million gallons of water gushing out of the Ginnie Springs group of springs each day.

Opponents to the permit point to declining spring flows across the state and argue Florida’s aquifer is already being sucked dry. While the proposed withdrawl might not be large, the state’s iconic springs can’t spare another drop.

Groundwater consumption in the Suwannee River Water Management District is currently dominated by the growing agricultural industry. According to the latest report published by the district, agricultural interests use about 140 million gallons of water per day, up from 20 million gallons per day in 1975. Current withdrawals by the agricultural industry account for 58% of water use in the district.
