In a world of salmon, raise bears that will care for the rivers.
lolling at paying the BBC a subscription. Mate we fought several wars so we don't have to pay your weirdass TV licenses and I'm not paying for this either.

I pay for the world service when I buy a commuter train ticket to gatwick

I don't understand deep frying a turkey. It doesn't taste any better and it's going to burn your house down.

Trying out not saying "ice" in our household.

"Cubes" or "frozen water" or "shaves" takes the place.

Now, when offering water, the response I've found:

"No, I don't want shaved pubes in my water"

Does anyone remember the Minnesota Public Radio morning show? That shit was unhinged, peak public programming.

Anyways, did they play "The Prairie Sun" every morning at the actual time of daybreak? I remember it like every morning, but never at the same time.

It would be an unmitigated disaster to move these trains. There's no track except in the park! They can't just roll down the street, they're trains. Super cool trains. I would like one in my yard someday. But that's not the point. The point is they're in the People's backyard and they must stay.
This would be a huge loss! I can’t imagine the East Bay without the steam train.

The current month to month lease makes it impossible for the operators to make long term needed investments.

Urge East Bay Regional Park District to approve a long-term lease, by emailing publiccomment@ebparks.org.
Without a long-term lease from the East Bay park district, the Redwood Valley Railway may move from its longtime home in the Berkeley Hills.

This is clearly staged. They're obviously using jacks and hoists to hold these cars in a dramatic position.

In this era of easy dunking on creeps, let me say that Ryan Adams sucks. And if he steps foot within the city limits of Oakland, I will, as mayor, direct the interim chief of police to personally arrest his ass.

My first railroad model had a Jelly Bean truck spill that stopped commerce for days. Accurate? 100%. Realistic, 1000%.

I was 28 years old.
As someone who's hired to literally count rivets....

Just to clarify: I'm pro "make your models for yourself or clients as accurate as you want them to be", just don't be an unsolicited cop about others' models unless they CONSENT to constructive criticism to help them improve. Don't punch down.
I just always follow rule number 1: It’s your railroad. I’m ok with river counters existing as long as they don’t gatekeeper for others because, see rule 1.

Oh god someone check on the Tregurtha
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It's worth noting that the officer who is shooting citizens has wet himself. I guess the dinosaur behind him was real. Looks like a person to me tho
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

This is the US. They don't return drug smugglers. They love extraordinary rendition. This is basically an admission they know they're blowing up fishing boats.
