I was thinking about Searx. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I got a ton of people on a Searx on my IP to just absolutely befuddle the algorithm? Then I thought of what a great idea it would be to have just a network of Searx instances, and even Youtube and such, for people to all make searches and watch videos and whatever on one another's IP addresses so the algorithm can't pin any data to anyone. Then I realized I just basically invented the Tor network.

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

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

Open kayaks might also be safer

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.
[…] “Your 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. »
Similarly, former member of the November 17 Revolutionary Organization and Marxist prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas sent a message after the announcement of the Arab communist’s release.[…] “Today 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. »

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.
