Probably drunk. or on drugs. or something else that incapacitated her, like hitting her head on the bottom. if you’re passed out drunk, you can drown face down in a tiny puddle.

for the others, freezing water saps your strength. again. you can die in a tiny puddle if you’re incapacitated… which, if you can’t get out quickly, you’re going to eventually sucumb to hypothermia and… drown. If it’s a weedy section, you also may not be able to get up (getting tangled in the weeds.)(especially if your panicking.)

honestly don’t know if barriers would be enough to make them safe. people are stupid. Drunk people are incredibly stupid.

lol. it wasn’t even mine. i stole it off the interwebz.

He hasn’t already?

I think they found it first.

oh I chuckled at the dork. I’m just saying, it might take a few times for them to learn.

(and suddenly over night a new form of protest art…)

I wouldn’t go that far. But it’s a start.

Whale dongs seem particularly appropriate at this particular juncture.

A lot of these videos are clip farmed “backgrounds” with content from the brainy-rotty-er sections of Reddit.

They’re meant to be “cheap” low effort content to get you to watch and eke out some monetization made profitable by quantity over quality.

Bulgaria is in South America, right? It’s like, the tip, right?

(/s, if it wasn’t obvious.)

It’s also associated with crusaders- it was one of the last strongholds of the Knights Hospitaliers after they looted everything. Which might’s be part of why

your bank’s security leaves you exposed to attacks via social engineering.

Confirming someone’s identity over the phone is almost impossible to do these days. security questions are, if you’re not giving false answers (or just random strings, etc), then someone who knows your entire life is able to just bluff their way through them. For most people, that kind of social engineering is difficult (they fail more than they succeed). But for someone like the freakng Pope… yeah. No. That information is out there and it’s easily found.

it’s actually a huge problem that a lot of “older” institutions have yet to fully grapple with, but this is now one of the most common forms of identity theft. there’s ways of getting around it, but that’s not going to something the first-line CS rep is going to be able to do.

It’s because he’s a VIP that they wanted him in person.

Think about.

How do you know that he’s really the pope? It’s a phone call. Maybe he has 28 character long randomized strings for secret questions, but maybe it’s actually his family’s dog’s name. The family dog he uses in a favorite homilies that everyone has heard before, and knows the name of.

Most of Pope Leo’s life is probably among the most researchable in the world right now. Most of the kinds of questions people answer is actually public info if you know where to look.

The answer is you don’t. At least not on the first call in.

Chances are it’s going to get escalated and a more senior team is going to get involved that can verify things and get it done.

But the bank CS rep was in fact protecting him, not screwing him over.

Tesla’s gonna kill some peeps.

At this point, I can only assume that the reason fetterman’s not getting yeeted from every board/chair/whatever panel he’son is because Cluck Cluck Chuck wants him voting the way he is.

If you can’t be arsed to stop a rogue president starting wars without apporval, stop genocided and war crimes and just generally doing the most basic “right thing” possible, you’re not going to vote against said rogue asswipe. Ever.

Also, it seems that Californians send their tax payments to Fresno. So they could just, yah know. “oopsiedoodles we raided your tax office on dubious pretenses. It’s cool cuz you do that to state’s voting agencies…”

Put it in an escrow account and use it to replace the lost medicaid and other funding.

when the feds hold up their end of the deal, they get to have the remaining funds.

the problem is there’s “Poll watchers” or “observers” who get their little area and get to watch everything from there, and that’s cool. and then there’s the Republikkkan’s “poll watchers” who show up armed and start shouting things like “THAT GUY IS ILLEGAL” and shit for every not-white-dude coming through and trying to get people thrown out.

ICE is also a huge problem, yes.

I’m not sure ‘hoax’ is the word you want to use. I assume you’re referring to the Manchester Pusher?

The bodies are real, but it sounds like (after a quick search) the authorities blame accidents and such like.

keep in mind, if you’re falling into 3 feet of water, you’re more likely to be injured from hitting the bottom rather than jumping into deep water, and if you’re drunk or something, even if you’re not injured from the fall, you’re still likely to drown. you can drown in a puddle if you pass out with your face down in it.

Both, and I’m not sure I have a hard and fast rule saying when one over the other. It’s probably some sort of soft rule I’m totally unaware of.

But both are correct. (though Nitch is more american and Neesh is more british.)

“Due to tidal forces”

Because, the moon (and maybe the sun, and other planets like Jupiter) are acting on it, yeah?

The earth won’t stop spinning. What’s happening is that the moon’s gravity is slowing the earth’s spin as it drags our oceans towards it.

Once our day is the same as the moon’s orbital period, then the tide will essentially be fixed, which means it’s no longer slowing us down.

And all that energy, for the record, is going into the moon and expanding its orbit slightly.
