  1. This is correct. It won't be a sprinkler system because the two most common types of fire will be fuel or electrical and water doesn't fix that. My guess is the engine room had some C02 system to put out a fire but it only works if its both maintained, and the door is closed so the c02 can do its work. Galley fire at 3am when everyone's asleep? Unless the cook was slow roasting a roux or something, seems unlikely. Galley fires happen when people are in the galley cooking. My guess is that this is either an electrical fire or some dumbassery like someone left a bright light close to and shining on something flammable. Fuel fire would require first a fuel leak, which would smell like diesel and make everyone sick, before it ignited. Fire spread quickly on main deck and by the time people on lower deck realized there was a fire, their only exit looked like hell's entrance. A decent fire detection system prevents things like this but either they didn't have one, didn't maintain it, or something.
  2. dailymail.com A boat is designed to... Float and not sink. So there aren’t a lot of fire escapes and it’s designed so the openings that might allow in water are few, far between, and narrow.
  3. You get on a boat and they take you to diving destinations to dive. During your surface intervals (the breaks between scuba dives when your body recovers from breathing compressed air under the pressure of the sea depths), they feed you meals, travel to new destinations, and provide you with accommodations for sleep. Then when the time comes, you dive again. I’m sure someone does this out of generosity but in my experience it is generally done for monetary compensation.
  4. I’ll be in Arlington for a kid soccer tournament. Any advice on game watching destinations?
  5. If your bullshit uga mascot thinks he’s number 1, let him say it to bevo’s face.
  6. Questions for the surly medics - re the photo of him on a stretcher going into the hospital. Is that decorticate posturing or is there not enough info to tell? What posture do suicide/hanging victims take?
  7. https://sailinganarchy.com/2019/08/07/scratch-that-itchi/ Surly Christmas trip down unda?
  8. I didn’t know that the SD had improved, but in about 1998, it was shitty. Unless you have been an overnight resident in the Port Arkansas jail, and appeared still drunk the next day in Judge Neblett’s court to answer for your awesomeness, and been hit with a bottle at sharkeys, and then driven all the way to the flour bluff heb to buy butterflys because the IGA has none, Back up off my port a street cred.
  9. The correct answers are: Nuevo Laredo (outside la zona); Anything in south San Antonio; and The salty dog in port a. Did a flash dance there one night spraying my beer all over my friends and swinging my shirt overhead. When my shirt hit the ceiling fan decades of dust and shit blew all over the shrimpers. Then things got serious. Honorable mention - Most dangerous goes to tie - Mccurtain County Oklahoma and Hull, England. For whatever reason those people really like knives. I would rather try my chances in Mogadishu than there.
  10. I feel like Quintana could have won this tour if his team supported him. I’m an amateur but I was hoping for NQ for the last week. F landa, and Movistar. Am I alone? Missing something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Doesn’t matter; had sex?
  12. This is why I didn’t go to Harvard.
  13. Take the backpack and if you have a decent rain jacket like something from rei that packs up small, take that too. #nopoorspanchos
  14. Try this: 1. Contributions are not taxed as income to the organization. 2. Some income of the organization like investment earnings aren’t taxed either. 3. If the organization strays from its stated exempt purpose it pays UBIT (unrelated business income tax). 4. When the money leaves the entity for a private benefit (e.g. wages to an employee), then that individual pays income tax. 5. When the money leaves the entity for a public benefit (e.g. food for a food bank) then no tax due. 6. When the entity closes or ceases operations it cannot distribute its assets back to the donor or to any private individual but must instead pay these to other non-profits or similar recipients. these laws are already on the books and enforced.
  15. Looking good. Question re speed, polars, etc. when does the jib come down/stay up? Is it angle or velocity or?

  18. The correct order at river port is the bbq fries and a bologna sandwich.
  19. Stevie wasn’t top 5. https://images.app.goo.gl/jsRm62kpsoJK1fBf8
  20. When you go through the drive through kfc in Marshall, Texas and get some chicken that may be the best kfc in America. I mean it was perfect. Then, when you’re thinking “I’m going to post on surly about how great the Marshall kfc is, this news must be shared,” you realize that they shortdicked you out of your biscuit, and you’re halfway to Carthage. You gonna drive back to Marshall for a biscuit? Nope, just soak in your misery, sans biscuit. Dammit.

    https://www.reagan.navy.mil/xo.html XO on the Reagan is a Texan. Strangely, he went right past college station to the naval academy. I guess not all “military colleges” are equal.
