@shortstories @marlathetourist By "closed kayak" you just mean the one where there's a small seat hole and you stick your legs inside? I remember being taught how to slide out of those in the event of a capsize at sea scouts, before even being allowed to get in one.
Did you ever intentionally fill a canoe with water and then place it upside down on top of another empty canoe perpendicular to it while in the water to practice what to do if there are two canoes and one gets full of water
I am thinking it only works if the water is shallow enough because I would imagine the other cartoon would sink to the bottom and or would be too heavy to get and lift on top the other canoe while swimming without your feet touching the ground
Or maybe it only works if there is a lot of water in it but not enough to sink it

@Xenophon @bronze when i was 21 i didn't know what steel reserve was and did a "power hour" with them (take a drink every 60 seconds like a shot of beer) comes out to around 8 12 ounc beers in an hour.
I swear to god i got alcohol poisoning from that lol. I was in bed for like 2 days.
@Xenophon @bronze I only drank three 24 ouncers in 3 hours, and was only in bed for 1 day. However, my tolerance is worse than when I was young, which is another reason why I'm trying not to drink because I think it might indicate my liver capacity is dropping, which concerns me.
I found as i got older my variance got much wider. There are days i have like 2-4 beers worth and feel kind of lit, and i had a day on vacation a bit over a year ago where i legitimately drank like 15-20 cocktails and felt fine.
@Xenophon tolerance drops as you get older man, thats why im telling you to drop the drinking habit i could power through all-nighters when i was 15-16 but nowaways even missing a few hours of sleep will wreck me
@bronze @Xenophon I know that about all nighters too. I think what concerns me more is the tolerance dropped considerably over a 6 month period, so I figure I couple times I went to far (tequila) and may have damaged shit and need a good several months of healing.
just do a test. drink the same amount every night in a row for...i dunno, like 6 weeks. and keep a journal of it. maybe even make a tiktok channel and bet people you can quit at the end of it all.
no tard dont listen to him this is horrible advice throw all your alcohol down the sink you've proven you cant handle a single drop of it lay off the shit for the next few years for your own good

I remember getting a hold of a copy of Papillion on a vacation with my family when I was a kid and all those prisoners stored objects up their ass, which made no physical sense to me, so I went to my father and asked him if you could store objects in your asshole and the look he gave me I will never forget," WHAT? Why are you asking me that?" I explained and his response was, "that's a good reason to stay out of prison."
Greece: Revolutionary Prisoners Welcome the Liberation of George Abdallah
Following the release of Georges Abdallah and his arrival in Lebanon on July 25, several revolutionary prisoners held in Greece welcomed this announcement, which comes after more than 40 years of imprisonment in France. Anarchist prisoner Nikos Maziotis (left in the photo) wrote a statement on August 2 to celebrate the news.
[โฆ] โYour release from prison is one of the greatest pieces of good news and has enormous meaning for all of us who are part of the international anti-capitalist, anti-state and anti-authoritarian movement. Because good news for one is good news for everyone, it is good for the movements, the peoples in struggle, the poor, the proletariat and the activists incarcerated in prisons, as is of course the opposite for bad news. And the fact that you came out of prison unshakeable, without any questioning of your struggle, is a huge political and moral victory for all of us. ยป
Similarly, former member of the November 17 Revolutionary Organization and Marxist prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas sent a message after the announcement of the Arab communistโs release.
[โฆ] โToday is a day of immense joy. The beautiful news of your liberation has passed through our cells. I will not speak of liberation. You have always been free of mind, soul, heart, as are those who resist. Only now have they been forced to free your body, to join your brothers in the struggle for a standing Lebanon, and a liberated Palestine. The arch-terrorists, the murderers, the colonialists, the arch-despoilers of the peoples have not succeeded in slandering you by calling you a terrorist or a criminal. Your only crime was to be and always to be a revolutionary, not to have yielded, not to have deserted for a single moment your great responsibility. ยป

'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.

A new study suggests that material from Earth's core is leaking into the mantle and reaching the surface. The research, which challenges the long-held belief of an impassable core-mantle boundary, is based on the discovery of primordial isotopes like helium-3 and ruthenium-100 in volcanic rocks.
Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planetโs center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size entities anchored to the core-mantle boundary might be involved.

This weekโs student dispatch from the collapsing citadel of American academia announced the Trump administration has forced Ivies Columbia and Brown to cough up their most highly guarded data: every applicantโs grades, test scores, and race. Itโs like the Ivy Leagueโs version of a TSA cavity search. The universities also had to promise โcross their hearts and hope to lose fundingโ that they will stop using race or even sneaky race proxies in admissions.
Meritย was in the news again. Yesterday, the Times โcrying in its blackberry Rippleโ ran another unintentionally encouraging story, headlined, โColumbia and
The Timesโ hysterical, over-the-top reaction was that President Trump was personally โdestroying diversityโ by enforcing race-neutral policies. The rest of us thought, well isnโt that the POINT?
Far from being proud of their diversity schemes, the Ivies have long hidden the statistical byproducts of their murky, secretive, rigged admissions programs.
Oh, they trumpet their outsized minority populations from gothic towers, but have clung to their internal data on scores and GPAs more tightly than a hobo clinging to his final fifth of Jack Daniels amidst a โmostly peacefulโ BLM protest.
They were wise to hide that data. The numbers betray the narrative. The moment you stack GPAs and SATs side-by-side with race and admission rates, the curtain falls off the โholisticโ wizard.
The Ivies understand โdisparate impactโ better than anyone, and knew the real figures would show racial bias instead of racial neutrality. They wished to create an illusion that qualified black candidates were unrepresented; not prove in hard numbers that they were actually preferencing underqualified blacks over qualified whites and asians.
Thatโs why this is so huge. Trump has thrown down a dollar-stuffed gauntlet: if you want federal funds, you must prove you are following federal law. Not that they must show their work, the whole scam comes to a screeching halt. Yale law professor Justin Driver said morosely, โThe Trump administrationโs ambition here is to send a chill through admissions offices all over the country.โ Precisely.
