Closed kayaks are extremely dangerous and easy to drown in because they flip over and it is hard to get your body out to avoid drowning
Canoes are safer
Open kayaks might also be safer
The article however said they rented a pontoon boat which should be safe if you know how to swim and did not choose a dangerous place

Hm. Perhaps the next time I have to deal with ColdFusion at work, I should start with a circle of salt and a sacrificial offering.
@greenzeta oh no it didn't.
Under Adobe's leadership the actual languages (it's kinda two syntaxes for the price of one) were rehabilitated very well IMO.
But the ColdFusion "community" is fully of cargo culters who have no idea what real software architecture looks like.

'The ABC News report cited "sources familiar with what Maxwell said," that she claimed "Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."'
Hmm. Do you think a convicted sex trafficker of underage girls would find it concerning if the paedophile ring she supplied had intercourse with said children?
No, I think not either. That statement means nothing.
She apparently spoke about 100 people. Tell me when we talk about Prince Andrew. If she doesn't, then that speaks volumes as to the focus. If she doesn't, then the UK judiciary needs to get in on this act, because given Prince Andrew's mommy dearest dropped a bucketload of cash, we need to investigate any possible misappropriation of UK taxpayer funds, at the very least.

It’s like the Ivy League’s version of a TSA cavity search. The universities also had to promise —cross their hearts and hope to lose funding— that they will stop using race or even sneaky race proxies in admissions.
