Baltimore's Key Bridge collapse sparks memories of Hobart's own disaster after ship struck Tasman Bridge - ABC News SS Lake Illawarra still lies on the river bed next to the Tasman Bridge pylons.
Wanta' bet that Harbor pilot is unemployed now ? Interesting also that the one support took out nearly the entire bridge.
Actually there was "Narrows" in the name of the location IIRC. (Tacoma Narrows.) Natural wind tunnel. The engineers hadn't accounted for the wind.
With peoples warped sensibilities they see sh*te that's not there. Some are so deluded they still deny the events off history and try to shape it to their own narrative. Man we are in trouble. The world needs a reality check. I just want to know who this guy NAME is.
I've been perusing the inter-mail the last half hour and maybe it's time to take a sabbatical ; Plants apparently have feelings and 'scream' when in distress, What will Vegans do now? The USA Judicial system has fully admitted it can be bought and are above Law. They'll do as they please. God only represents certain people, apparently American-English speaking immigrants from the 1800's to early 1900's. No one is wrong and there is never a reason to admit otherwise. NCAA Women's basketball is as popular as the Super Bowl? And apparently just as violent as Hockey? Golf has become as controversial as Politics. Gasoline prices are merely a blip and no longer mentioned. Time needs to be adjusted because the Earth's rotation is 'slowing'. Wouldn't that mean the Earth's messed up not Time ? There's just too much to keep up with so I think I'll crawl up into a ball and bury myself in my Fortress of Sanctuary. ( Fortress of Solitude depicts calm & it may take a while to attain that ). Once I replenish my alcohol and cigar supply that is. So maybe Tomorrow. Long Live and Prosper ! edit : LIVE LONG AND PROSPER ! Damnit Spock !
"Plants apparently have feelings and 'scream' when in distress, " "From a certain point of view." (Spock again.)
You need to keep being the voice of reason BIAK...If you stay quiet you allow more things to happen and grow. Its a democracy, you are allowed your voice and opinion. Just state the opinion as opinion not fact. Quote of the day "Capitalism is man exploiting man...Communism is exactly the opposite."
What happens is beyond my control. I can influence my own environment only. I'm actually contemplating getting up one morning and heading off with only the clothes on my back, a knife and a flint. Just to see. Thankfully I'm in a area where I can walk for hours (days !) depending on the direction, and never worry about meeting another human being ! I'm also somewhere where I can build a shelter with the available materials. Hydration isn't a concern due to water never more than a quarter mile away and sustenance is readily available if you know where to look. Discomfort would be the main drawback. One of these days I might just disappear. But only until I return to Reality
Anything outside my village is irrelevant. The World can fend for itself. By the way, 'The Village' only consists of me and mine.
Reminds me of the Australian TV show "Alone"...Send survival people out into the bush to survive with just the basics...Some dont last. This year they are sending Australians to New Zealand because Tasmania last year was too hard...No food! There are swathes of Tasmania that the Aboriginals didn't stop in because of the lack of food...Escaped convicts back in the day would either die, join an Aboriginal tribe or come crawling back to prison starving. This woman was a beast out in the sticks...She ate everything and anything.
