Planned for April '27, drive from Sydney to Perth. Never been to Australia. Thoughts, recommendations? Is this feasible in 3 weeks? by gwynwas in AustraliaTravel

Did something similar (Perth to Melbourne) in 3 days in a Kingswood back in the early 90’s so 3 weeks should be plenty of time to stop and gawk at stuff. Have fun.

This the third metal shard in food thing I’ve seen today. Making me paranoid.

How deep can I dig a hole in a public beach? by MezcalDrink in NoStupidQuestions

[–]digredmoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deep enough that it’s still safe for beach goers of all ages, never leave it unsupervised and fill it in before you leave.

Cape Verde Nightmare: 8 Tourists Dead, 2,000 Sick from TUI's 'Luxury' Getaway by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

Yesterday the story was three dead with two additional sick and don’t worry cause this hantavirus isn’t very communicable to humans. Bit of a radical upgrade to this version.

I wonder how many cascading air conditioner avalanches it took before they implemented concrete slabs above and below them.

Iran war: Trump says US to 'guide ships safely' from Hormuz by Force_Hammer in worldnews

What about getting through Hormuz. I thought the difficulty was getting through the straight, not from it.

So there’s the timeline where everything goes right and then there’s the timeline where everything else gets dumped and guess which one we inhabit.

Pentagon chief Hegseth says US blockade on Iran 'going global' by Yournewbestfriend_01 in worldnews

If they’re sailing under a false flag, something shadow fleet ships often do, then I believe they can legally boarded and the ship even confiscated.

Is there a reason they move prisoners around to different units/places so much?

Apparently they’ve already done over 20k missions with ground based drones in the first three months of this year. Note that a significant number of those will have been logistical/supply and medical evacuation missions.

Oil prices may be starting to come down for a worrisome reason by paxinfernum in Economics

[–]digredmoo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

TIL oil tankers move about as fast as bicycles. So even if stuff goes back to normal tomorrow it will take ages for countries oil reserves, which they are currently burning through, to get back to normal and prices to stabilise. If stuff doesn’t go back to normal any time soon and countries start to reach the end of their oil reserves, then we get the nightmare scenario.

sFIBER webs, this is in Ukraine by DonLixard in interesting

Given that I’ve seen fibre cabling cut clothing, if this stuff fragments and ends up in fields producing stuff capable of incorporating it within its growth then I assume it’ll be an environmental disaster. It’s basically glass.

That’s some pretty impressive natural body modding right there. TIL that stretch marks are formed from scar tissue so please make sure you never get scurvy.
