Robert Evans talked about it or something similar on his It Could Happen Here podcast i think.

I remember hearing similar stories but they were from WWI. Also it's kind of the plot to film King of Hearts

quote:

Charles Plumpick (Bates) is a kilt-wearing French-born Scottish soldier of the Signal Corps, caring for war pigeons, who is sent by his commanding officer to disarm a bomb placed in the town square by the retreating Germans.

As the fighting comes closer to the town, its inhabitants�including those who run the insane asylum�abandon it. The asylum gates are left open, and the inmates leave the asylum and take on the roles of the townspeople. Plumpick has no reason to think they are not who they appear to be�other than the colorful and playful way in which they're living their lives, so at odds with the fearful and war-ravaged times. The lunatics crown Plumpick the King of Hearts with surreal pageantry as he frantically tries to find the bomb before it goes off.

My sister is an ICU nurse in hawaii, and is now pretty sure that the three weeks of debilitating sickness she had at the end of January was actually Covid caught from a tourist in the ICU, before it blew up. She had all the symptoms and it was the sickest she's ever been.

Im now 100% convinced that a friend of mine in his 60s died from this in mid Feb. He had the symptoms, died of ARDS after his lungs were just loving annihilated. Hell, there's a good chance I had this in late Jan.

A friend of mine�s daughter was sick with flu-like symptoms for two months starting in December and no doctor could figure out what the hell the problem was. It took her over two months to be back to 100% and she�s only 13.

Still no idea what she had but the symptoms she had match up pretty well.

The only doubt she has is that nobody else got that sick.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Seems like the plumbing on a boat/rv would be prone to cloggage if you used TP. Would a bidet be good for them? I assume you don't want a black or greywater enema if for no other purpose than it defeats the hygienic purpose but I'm not sure how big a drain it would be on your freshwater stores.

Boats it's not so much of a problem (from what I've seen). You've usually got a horrifying part of the system called a macerator that keeps things in check. However I think you would be right, a bidet would be a better solution and if you've got water storage for flushing, chances are you've got room for enough water for butt showers.

I assume RVs are pretty similar but I have no experience with them.

On Apr. 22, 2016 a quick-thinking medical staff in Norway saved a patient’s life by calling in a Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) F-16 Viper fighter jet to whisk live-saving medical equipment from another hospital.

On that day in fact a RNoAF F-16 fighter jet rushed specialised medical equipment halfway across Norway in less than half an hour and saved a critically ill patient’s life.

The sick man was taken to a hospital in Bodø but it did not have an ECMO machine, which supports the heart and lungs, without which he would die.

Since the closest one available was at a hospital in Trondheim (280 miles to the south) and since a 10-hour journey by car was required, the doctors feared the man would die before it could arrive.

However, as The Independent then reported, after a moment of inspiration, they decided to contact Værnes Air Station, a RNoAF air force base near Trondheim, to ask if there was any hope of getting the equipment to Bodø in time to save the patient, whose precise condition was unclear.

“Chance would have it that we had two flights bound for [nearby] Moss on an exercise,” Lieutenant Colonel Børge ‘Gaff’ Kleppe, leader of 338 “Tiger” Squadron, told local media outlet VG News. “One of them had even a cargo tank where there might be room. I called and asked them to keep [back] one plane, while we checked on it [for] all the possible places which could accommodate the machine.”

While the armed forces have helped with civilian medical emergencies in the past, it is believed to have been the first time an F-16 jet has been used.

“Usually we spend about 35 minutes in flight,” said Lt Col Kleppe. “But because of the special cargo, the pilot gave a little extra, so he was there in less than 25 minutes.”

The medical equipment had been delivered to the hospital in Bodø within 40 minutes of the call being received.

Yeah, I've seen a 24 foot... gently caress, I'm not sure of the name of the configuration, a cabin cuddy? With a proper shitter and water supply. 30 footer cabin cuddies definitely have heads. Center consoles probably not. Motorsailer I would say almost definitely. 30 footer you'd find a space for one of those little desalinators that do like 4 gallons a day if you were really concerned.
