U.S. firefighters are overwhelmingly white and male. Here’s why that needs to changehttps://t.co/llRGS1tAYd
— Harvard Business Review (@HarvardBiz) December 18, 2018
59 years before the movie Jaws was released, there was a series of shark attacks on the Jersey Shore. One of them happened in Matawan Creek, which seemed to be an inspiration for one of the terrifying scenes in the movie Jaws.
“2 weeks, 4 deaths, and the start of America's fear of sharks” [National Geographic]
In the twilight of July 1, 1916, 25-year-old Charles Vansant bled to death in a beachfront hotel in New Jersey. Several men had pulled his maimed body from the water. Five days later, bellhop Charles Bruder, 27, was killed during an afternoon swim along the Jersey Shore. Beachgoers gathered around his legless remains. The following week, 10-year-old Lester Stilwell was swimming in Matawan Creek (also in New Jersey) with his friends when he was eaten alive. Naked and covered in mud, the terrified boys ran down Main Street screaming that there was a shark in the water. But people were skeptical. They thought Stilwell, who was epileptic, had drowned. Some had been dismissive of the newspaper reports that said sharks had killed swimmers on the coast, because Americans at this time were fairly certain … sharks didn't bite people. When Watson Fisher, a tailor, went into the creek to look for Stilwell, he was attacked as well. He later died of blood loss. Thirty minutes later, a shark bit 14-year-old Joseph Dunn’s leg. Dunn’s brother and a local sea captain pulled him to safety. On the day Stilwell’s body was found, President Woodrow Wilson called a Cabinet meeting. The White House agreed to give federal aid to “drive away all the ferocious man-eating sharks which have been making prey of bathers,” according to a July 14, 1916 article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Eventually, an eight-foot juvenile great white shark was pulled from the New Jersey waters. Its stomach contained human remains.
Now I've heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash
Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious
But I'm thinking, "Damn, why not me?"
We could even sing it on TV
Just like him and old Julio Iglesias
This innocuous opening leads to the Siq — a winding, narrow gorge almost one mile long.

Just wondering, is this 96% of professional and volunteer? Some 65% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, who cover, geographically, far more area than professionals, who are largely urban. Draw your own conclusions from that bit.

That is the plan! Word from on high is that anyone who wants to teach an online course now has to go through some basic training on "best practices" before they'll be allowed to do that. Also, their courses have to go through a quality review process. The faculty don't like it much at first, but once you show them how these things improve the student experience (and lead to better outcomes), they usually come around.

I saw a video (UK maybe?) of some DEI firefighters.
They were two frumpy ladies that were both about 5'2".
I bet the two combined could drag you out the door by the ankles bumping your head down every single stair.

The crowd at Westminster is pathetic. Fox Sports tries to make you think the show is in downtown Manhattan, but it's at the tennis center in Queens.
When they moved breed judging from MSG, Westminster became just another dog show. There was something thrilling about stepping out on that green carpet.

I volunteered to be an adult literacy teacher, i.e., free (of course) one-on-one instruction.
What I discovered was that there are more volunteer instructors than there are wannabe readers! The people I met didn't want to learn to read really-- they wanted help dealing with their medical correspondence.
That's perfectly cool. Perfectly legitimate, & I'm happy to help with that. It's just not what I expected.
Totally unrelated to that:

There's a canyon on the Utah/Arizona border near Lake Powell, called Pariah Canyon. I've hiked through it, there are many places where you can touch both walls at the same time, but the canyon walls are 200' straight over your head. You don't want to be there when there's rain upstream; I remember seeing a tree wedged sideways in between the canyon walls 30' up. Every couple of years I'll see a news item where a hiking party gets wiped out there because they don't pay attention to that.

The job market isn't kind to those of over 29. It seems 'they' would like us to wait until at minimum age 65 before drawing Social Security, but 'they' also feel we are too old to work anywhere except the grocery store after age 60. If my math is correct, that's a five-year gap. I'm feeling discouraged right now.

'Doctor Who' was on Pluto tv. It just plays. You can't pause, you can't rewind. Live channel.
But they played 'The Chase' with the very first Doctor Who, Hartnell. The Daleks created a time machine and were going to chase the Doctor through eternity to exterminate him and the Tardis.
I've seen parts before but caught this broadcast near the beginning. It was very cool. Do you remember that excitement after the first time you saw 'Star Trek' for the first time. Yeah, it was like that!!
The Daleks chased them to an alien planet, bad crap happened, then to New York on the Empire State Building, where they kind of made fun of Alabama, but dude was cool . An area of human nightmares and then Mechanoid where they made there last stand.
Like 'Star Trek', very sophisticated telling great stories with the tech they had at the time. The Daleks did create a robot Doctor to infiltrate and kill and that may have been the first time that was done.
And his companions were really cool. Ian...smart action hero. Vicky....new planet..let's go and explore and Barbara..a mixture. At the end...spoilers...Ian and Barbera get back home. Fun show.

Solar flares, CMEs and the resulting geomagnetic storms cause a spike in Carbon-14 production, and that's a why to identify them in the record. They call these spikes Miyake events, after the Japanese physicist that first discovered it.
This weekend's little auroral display produced a small one of those.

Roddenberry just made up the stardate thing to sound cool and futuristic and made it sound like the Julian date system. A number with a decimal point.
There was originally no rhyme or reason to it, really, just to sound all technical and space-y.

Yes and it's good to see her nic and read her comments.
I'd say in the Obama years ont comments 700-800 a night were nothing out of the ordinary. People like stuck-on-stupid could spin a yarn, sven and anna could rapid fire those numbers themselves, lol.
Going back to read some of those threads and seeing all the nics that aren't around anymore ...

Look at 2020 and above Mazda CX 5s. Any good? Seems to be a few in my area around 20-22k. Low mileage too. Don't want turbo or leather seats.
Posted by: OrangeEnt at May 15, 2024 01:24 AM (0eaVi)
My buddy bought his son a 2023 CX 5 . He usually does research before making a purchase. I don’t know if they’ve had any trouble with it since though.

More power and carrying power than one would think.
But, for the CX5? Don't fear the turbo. But High Quality oil changes will be your friend.

Thanks, Jim. All I know is a turbo wears out the engine faster. I don't think any that I'm considering have one.

That's what I'm trying to do. Scotty Kilmer told me to look at 2020 and newer. I've never been a fan of leather seats. It's way too hot here for anything but cloth.

Our fleet of 2015 Ford Transit vans have the 3.5 ltr. Eco Boost, Twin Turbo engines.
They're in the 201,000 mile range, all of 'em. ONLY problems, have been ignition coils, brake vacuum boosters and center-carrier drive shaft bearings (under recall).
The engines remain as strong as new. 375 hp. 400 ft. lb torque.
A FULLY LOADED Transit, can merge with any traffic, any highway, anywhere, anytime.
This is a great Safety Factor, much overlooked, elsewhere.

I think the last two had some kind of meme, like changing the title of a movie with one or two words. There was a lot of action on that. A general one with a bunch of different topics doesn't generate as much interest.

I've been visiting Western PA for years now. I have family up there. It's also a cheap place to golf and there used to be lots of golf courses. The problem now is not only are the restaurants and businesses disappearing, but the golf courses are disappearing. Every year I go up and there is one less in that area (New Castle). It's sad.

The Greens of Greenville, formerly Greenville Country Club, was one of my favorites. Pretty course. Now gone. Closed during the covid madness. Another town that's seen better days. Still has Thiel College though.

Yeah, Grampa played golf a lot, until he was 83 or so. Couldn't take the sun anymore, so he focused on bowling.
My dad and uncles on both sides liked to golf, and a fair numbers of my cousins, too.
