For a long time in Cocoa Beach there was a big round thing sitting in a parking lot with a sign saying "ROCKET ENGINE, FOUND, WASHED UP ON BEACH, $50,000". I finally stopped and checked it out one day and while it was a rocket part it wasn't actually an engine, it was just some like, interstage cowling scrap from a sounding rocket or something.

Also it had been thoroughly filled with acorns by clever squirrels, so at least they got some use out of it.

This is incredibly blessed and warms my heart. Hopefully Jiang will get some form of compensation for that nightmare other than a busted megacorp.

There's one where a woman and her husband were gifted a house to live in. Fully paid off a free house

They rented it out and moved in with her grandmother

I've been wondering what's up with this "trending" story that Twitter has been pushing. Sounds pretty bad!




Oh, it's a deceptive title that makes it sound like an authoritarian crackdown instead of the US destroying another country. Also pretty loving hypocritical.

the night before texas poo poo really hit the fan, i had a heated discussion/argument with some friends at the pub about the stupidity of covid-19 vaccine rollout being linked to the profit motive and specifically the markets. really incredible that just the next day, all this crap comes out about its complete failure to handle large scale problems

Same. We're now the county with the highest rate of infection in Norway! And it's literally all because most of the people living here are old rich boomers, who think the pandemic doesnt apply to them.

we had to take my son to see a specialist doctor an hour and a half drive away (this is in southeast PA) and we decided to eat indoors at a restauant for the first time since like summer and hooooly poo poo that was a bad idea. It was literally just a crowded restaurant on a normal day except the wait staff was wearing masks and they make you wait in your car until your table is called instead of in the foyer. absolutely not doing that again until everyone in my family is vaccinated and I think its but for the grace of the god my son and i didnt get it. (my wife got both vaccines already)

bonus lol: it was a texas road house
