Yeah I would chalk it up to Vertical Horizon being just considered a barely 1 hit wonder band from lack of label support. Neat deep cut, but I wouldnt ever feel bad about liking them.

We Built this City - by Starship

It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef’s kiss on that one.

Ok, the quick version:

I am small waisted and was especially so when I was an underfed child of early teen years. My mother was going through her 4th? 3rd Husband and decided to get married on a cruise ship this time.
Well on the pool deck there was a water slide and a leak underneath said slide, I slipped on it and slid across the deck under the railing and over the side.

I didnt hit the water by the way. I hit the balcony railing of the first deck of cabins a couple floors below and bounced into the ship. I then not wanting to get in trouble bolted through the cabin saying something about a hat to the confused people, and told no one.

I ended up swimming to far on those broken ribs out at the beach in mexico and had to get saved by the coast guard who did not bring me onboard but drug me behind their boat via life preserver I was barely holding onto face down, so assumed the agonizing pain was that and I just sucked at swimming.
Also brought back Swine Flu on that trip and got my school shut down for handing out some shirts as souvenirs.

And also yes

This is gonna be how we get more Citicorp Center flaws in our world isn’t it?
And I dont expect modern “profits at all costs” companies to own up to it and fix their issues like it was in 1978.

Great question. I wish I could pay my .011¢ and just be done with it.

I actually subscribe and pay for the things I enjoy when possible so I can own it. I get mailed the onion for that reason.

Ugh, the worst.

Ahh, yeah websites are getting more stingy about adblockers I noticed. I went to one website and when I tried to go past the popup they literally just blocked the page at the gateway for my IP I guess cause it reloaded with a full error.

Wild that these fractions of a cent are worth reducing traffic to your site for.

Amazing that percussive maintenance works on humans.

See, I am unfortunate in that I know exactly where my chest pain comes from and it is from 6 of my ribs being broken and fused together from falling off a cruise ship and breaking them on a railing on the way down.

The interesting part is I didnt know I broke them until years later when I was hit by a car and the hospital doctor was just like “oh yeah you just hurt your broken ribs again, put some frozen peas on it and wait for the pain to go down”

Anyways, dont break your ribs unless you want to know when the weather is changing by pain.

Do they have a reason for thinking it should be along the river?

I am a big fan of well dispersed and easily accessible green spaces distributed among cities for lots of reasons and am not sure I see the original intent.

Are you asking for how? If you open in duckduckgo browser I noticed no paywall or issues.

You can also add archive.is/ to the beginning if a link and you can see if it is archived which would let you read it as well.
I’m still not sure what paywall you hit though.

I have terrible news

Cause we have lots of places to do science with gravity, its nice to have a place to do science without it.
And hard to maintain the force without damaging the ship. We have small space stations and shuttles and they would need to rotate really fast to generate gravity similar to earth and that is taxing on the structure and you since your feet would have a lot more gravity than your head closer to the center of the circle.

If you have seen project hail Mary that is why there is an extendable counter weight actually. It helps move the central point of the rotation further away from the astronaut and let’s it rotate slower and have more consistent force.

Ok that is neat.

Actually Iran offered Oman to charge on the toll as well and had I think offered some specific options for split.

Oman did not like the idea of angering the other countries as much and might regret it, since I think Iran will end up charging ships.

Holy shit you are right. Do you think if they gave him a big enough direct cut they might even beat Israel for his love?

The Islamic Republic’s previous proposal to toll vessels drew criticism from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He blasted the potential “tolling system” as “illegal” and “dangerous for the world,”

I just want to put emphasis that Marco Rubio is the straight man in this comedy routine, cause what the heck?
