    Who Has Jurisdiction On Cruise Ships?

    Jurisdiction can be tricky when it comes to cruise ships. In general the party that has jurisdiction will be determined based on the location of the ship at the time the crime is committed.

    For example, if the assault occurs while the ship is at port, the authorities of that port will have jurisdiction over the crime. Countries within 12 nautical miles of the ship also have jurisdiction.

    So what happens if the ship is at sea when the assault occurs? Jurisdiction will fall to the ship's registered country. With jurisdiction being determined primarily based on location, it's extremely important that you have a skilled cruise injury lawyer on your side to ensure you receive fair treatment and that justice is obtained.

    1. Irrelevant

    2. California makes up what? 3/4 of the west coast? "Weird Cali" headlines are the equivalent to the entirety of Florida to NJ "weird" headlines.

    3. People like you are making it hard to have an honest East Coast vs West Coast rivalry. Stay the fuck out.

  • And there are people like me that live in the US, but live in dense efficient housing and don’t own cars and take hybrid/electric buses everywhere, so you can fuck off if you think I need to keep sacrificing my happiness while the rich burn the world down. If you live in an house or drive a car, you’re doing more damage to the planet than I am, so maybe take a look in the mirror before you throw a fit about one German family that visited America (and died here) 28 fucking years ago.

    I live a mile from work, converted my farm to biodiesel, got as much solar installed as allowed and heat with firewood. I'm pissed about keyboard warriors who complain about the rich, but don't do anything but complain online about it.

  • I never mentioned food. I mentioned the needless conveniences that were created in the recent 100 years. Sure, we should be eating less meat.

    I'm just sick of all the people in my life who role play as progressives without thinking about their own actions. There's a friend group that I pretty much dropped contact with because they're too boomer to figure out Discord and I'm too climate anxietied to drive an hour just to watch youtube videos and have the same dozen or so conversations again. I've dropped hollywood movies, partly because of the drive as well, but also the carbon foot print from its production. I literally can not travel for myself without some form of guilt.

    I've had climate anxiety for the past 30 fucking years. Been sabotaged by my guidance counselor when I wanted to pursue a college that would be interested in that rather then just producing more consumers. FFS, is that all college is for? Sounds like the highest achievement anyone wants for us is to be good little consumers and make their lines go up.

    Should I feel vindicated when my crops fail because of the heat?

    Also, not everyone works on the same schedule. I have more important things to do than reply to you on your timetable.

  • The first 2 or 3 months of the covid lock down was the most optimistic I've ever been. The air cleaned up immediately and you could almost see the temperatures start to plateau. We will never achieve something like that again.

  • Death Valley heat melts skin off a man's feet after he lost his flip-flops in the dunes
  • Travel itself isn't necessary. This Belgian traveled half way across the globe to burn his feet in the desert. I won't travel an hour to hang out with friends that can't figure out discord.

    We can demand the 1% fix their shit and fix our own shit. Not reducing our own consumption only feeds more profits to the 1%.

  • Kinda? As a kid when this happened, I really didn't understand the point of porn theaters if you couldn't yank it out. The cops just wanted to arrest a bunch of gay men and did so.

    oh, I was fact checking and found this gem.

    Bill Cosby defended Reubens, saying "Whatever (Reubens has) done, this is being blown all out of proportion."

    I mean, yeah. I guess Cosby would know that jerking it in an adult theater isn't really all that bad compared to what else is going on.

    Figured out where Miyune went.

    old: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/Miyune

    new: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/MinikoMew

    Weird that she would abandon a 100k+ identity for a rebrand when her old IP already had a serious redesign. It was bothering me where she went when she disappeared out of the blue. One of her notable collabs was being the first to collab with Neuro-sama.

    Old clip, but given that something's happening on the official Kizuna channel right now, I thought a refresher is in order.

    "If, Then, Goto" Statements in Geometry?

    I'm not looking for answers. Just directions on what keywords for lectures on the topic. I can find CS stuff when looking, but that feels too esoteric for high school geometry?

    Phase Connect Auditions ARE OPEN!

    Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

    Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.

    Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

    Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

    What exactly are the "mini sweet peppers" that grocery stores sell?

    I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

    I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

    Some "old internet" brand of interesting.

    I was thinking of how people on the old internet would just create and share stuff for the simple sake of doing it, without trying to grind the algorithm. This woman in the mid 00's would bike through Chernoby, taking pictures and checking rad levels along the way.

    Her anglefire page is defunk, but she has a youtube page now.

    And for an added level of interesting, here's the slashdot page where I originally found it.

    Help creating a BoM for the Ring Accelerator?

    Hello,

    I'm creating a BoM for a youth group project. We're planning on building the Electromagnetic Ring Accelerator from Hyperspace Pirate. He's provided the 3d print files, but not the finer details on wire gauge, enamel wire gauge and ball size. I also want to confirm the photoresistor. Are there different photoresistors with with different sensitivities or ranges?

    I've included the wip of the BoM.

    Ways to improve academic standing without going to community college?

    I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

    I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.

    What's the deal with the suspicious usernames on youtube?

    I've been seeing a lot of usernames formatted "[lowercase][fourdigits]" or "user-[randomletternumbers]".

    Normally, I'd assume that that just means the name was already taken and the numbers are manually entered to make it unique, but the formatting is too consistent. Is that something google is doing automatically?

    The other one is real weird. Is that something some proxy sites are doing for anonymous posting?
