More importantly, how is this new form of ice going to affect my gin and tonic?

Nowhere in this article does it mention the fate of the sailors!
All the crew of Morning Midas escaped into a life raft and were subsequently rescued by another merchant marine vessel without any injuries.
Now please continue to bicker about the less important details as to what caused the fire.

So, no useful information such as:

• How to detect the problem
• How to remove the infection

I watched Baraka and Samsara the other day. I used CC and nothing appeared. Maybe I accidentally pressed the mute button for the CC?

Clearly the only way to resolve this vexing issue it to conduct a survey to determine the effectiveness of polls.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

It seems that almost everything is highly processed.
Even vegetables have been compromised with disease ridden tomatoes, spinach and probably everything else too.
Mass vegetable growing in search of higher profit causes all sorts of chemicals to be used.
Is the only solution to grow your own food?
I really don't have the time for that.
Can I trust the "organic" designation?
There are cheaters everywhere.
How depressing.
At least the sun is shining today.
I'm going for a walk.

I imagine employee morale would improve significantly if they reduced to a 0 day work week while keeping current pay levels.
Employee retention would be good too.

I prefer the Hario Switch.
I've never had a good cup of coffee from the Nintendo version.

I was laid off twice in my career.
The first time I received 6 months severance pay and had a new job one week later.
The second time, the severance pay I received enabled me to retire.
The key thing in life is to ensure that you have marketable skills, so a layoff is merely an unexpected bonus.

We had a cat door that was programmed to unlock only when our cat was in proximity to the door.
The objective was to deny entry to other cats - which had previously been a problem.
The problem was that our cat would sit beside the cat door, thus unlocking it and other cats would still come in - FAIL.
Next project fail: squirrel-proof bird feeder.

She's gonna blow, Captain!

In other news, AI warns Musk 'One of the Biggest Risks' To Civilization.

I thought Meta's solution to the noisy office was to fire staff.

A long-ago debate held at my UK university had the motion: "whoever you vote for, the government gets in".
The motion was passed in the debate by a large margin.
I sided with the motion.
I still do.
I believe politicians are mostly a very bad bunch.
They sell/corrupt themselves to the rich folk and do their bidding.
So you can howl for your favorite political party all you want, you sheep.
It's amazing how easily the sheep can be brainwashed.
I will continue to boycott all elections as a useless one-person protest.
I'm gonna do what I can to protect my family and try and ignore the mayhem caused by the politicians the best I can.
I find that distracting myself on something enjoyable works very well to keep my sanity in this crazy world - in my case my grandkids.
Have a great day.

Why not install solar panels over highways?
No problems with ownership of the land.
So much of this type of land available.
Doesn't ruin the environment (it's already ruined).
Cuts down on A/C usage in cars too.
