Extended cut of The Big Blue. I watched it with my dad and new girlfriend. My dad was a big time cave diver and so was she. I like Luc Besson movies. Seemed like a good first meeting activity. I wasn't aware the extended had a fair number of sex scenes.

I have it on good authority that Lake Superior never gives up her dead.

I get the joke but Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany.

One poll that shows them losing by 1-2% instead of 4-5%. I'll still vote and I hope I'm wrong but I'm Expecting a all the state wide races to go R.

I think the abortion rights amendment has a good chance of hitting the 60% required.

No but the chance that you change the vote to your side does go away. Florida isn't competitive anymore so not much point in either side spending here.

A lot of republicans have moved here and a lot of democrats have left. Add the fact that the Florida democratic party is a mess even compared to other state parties and I don't see things changing.

Yeah 60c is done for chicken. That's where meat goes from pink to white. It takes 18 min to kill dangerous food bacteria at that temp.

It's not meant to be able to be passed. It's just a way of giving them a reason to deny you a vote if your skin was the wrong color.

Because it's easy at the local level to selectivity apply the rules and only allow the people you want to vote. Here is an actual literacy test that was used. Hint if you were white you passed if not you failed.

Simple answer is they are careful about what they say and have good lawyers that review it.

A few examples.

Calling Tom Cruise a fudge packer in the context of him being in a bathhouse could eaisly open them up to liability for calling him gay. But doing it in a fudge factory while showing him putting fudge in a box gives them a clear defense that they meant it literally.

Simmaraly telling him to come out of the closet while he is actually in a closet provides cover.

Making things so absurd that a reasonable person wouldn't believe it and know it's a joke also works. So having Barbara Streisand aquire an artifact that makes her into a giant robot monster works but something plausible wouldn't.

Having Kanye open up and admit he is a gay fish is absurd enough to provide protection. However they probably couldn't get away with him simply coming out as gay.

Of course the genius of south park is they use these legal protections in ways that make the story funnier and not just for cover.

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
