They are perfectly safe if you respect your partner and their safe word. 😉

The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

He is a little fucking nuts but the book is fun.

I sold off my 4 Play:1s just after the initial app release, seeing the writing on the wall. Looks like it is time to sell off my newer Sonos speakers and invest in an alternative.

What about "I just don't want one." is that not a legitimate line of thought? That was what I based my decision on. I have never understood why the default state was marriage and then have a family. I can tell you that me and my childless wife are family.

This line was very telling "Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News..."

Fox News is basically a Russian state propaganda arm.

The video from the flight deck was used during my damage control training when I was in the Navy. The DC rate was created after that disaster.

Fun fact, Navy ships didn't even have a dedicated firefighting force until after the disaster on the USS Forrestal in 1962. A fire broke out on the flight deck and the attempts to put it out were like watching Keystone Cops. Nobody had a dedicated job or understood how to actually fight a Class D fire.

Such a slow burn movie, but I really enjoyed it.

If this type of basic science research interests you, in the US there is a federal agency dedicated to this pursuit; the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov)

95% of its annual budget goes out the door in the form of research grants to colleges, small businesses and individuals. Most of the research has no immediate application but has lead to some very exciting discoveries. The biggest in the recent past was that orange donut picture of a black hole that was everywhere.
