    The carrier, meh. Burst pipes happen. Seen it dozens of times. All kinds of things go south on ships. Like losing both vacuum collection pumps and not having working toilets for 7 days while you’re out in the middle of the ocean. Burst fuel lines spraying fuel directly onto the turbo and causing a main space fire. The incinerator catching fire and taking hours to put out. Sea chest valve failure and nearly flooding the entire engine room.

    7 days without a shitter sucked the most though.

    Bad Florida cop
    [​IMG]


    A Florida cop planted meth on random drivers, police say. One lost custody of his daughter.


    July 11 at 5:27 AM
    The meth seemed to appear out of thin air.

    Benjamin Bowling couldn’t figure it out. He had been clean ever since his release from prison on a DUI conviction, but now a Jackson County, Fla., sheriff’s deputy was accusing him of possessing a minuscule amount of methamphetamine.

    It was October 2017 and Bowling was on his way to the store to pick up diapers with his friend Shelly Smith when they saw the flashing lights swirl in the rearview mirror. He had been out of prison for less than a year, doing everything he could to get his life back on track. He passed all his drug tests. He had recently been awarded custody of his daughter. But deputy Zachary Wester was escalating a traffic stop for swerving over a white line into a search for illicit drugs.

    Bowling and Smith, confident they had nothing to hide, told Wester to go ahead and search the car after he claimed to smell marijuana, assuring him he wouldn’t find any.

    He emerged with meth.

    Now, nearly two years after Bowling lost custody of the daughter he had just gotten back, after he was convicted of felony meth possession, he knows exactly how it got there. Wester, state investigators now say, planted it himself — and Bowling was far from the only victim.

    Wester, who was fired last September, was arrested Wednesday and charged with 52 counts of racketeering, false imprisonment, official misconduct, fabricating evidence and possession of controlled substances, among other charges. He’s accused of indiscriminately targeting innocent drivers and hauling them off to jail after planting meth or marijuana in their vehicles while feigning a “search."

    “There is no question that Wester’s crimes were deliberate and that his actions put innocent people in jail,” Chris Williams, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s assistant special agent in charge, said in a news release.

    In our family we do birthday cakes regardless of age.

    Typically homemade, but when we do a bigger (20+ people) extended family get together for all the birthdays that month it'll often be a storebought cake.

    I think that's more my point. Birthday cakes are rare in my family though.

    I'm 57. Get one every year. My wife get's them for our kids 30, 25, & 19. The two oldest are girls. They both love Disney movies, so it could be Frozen, Little Mermaid, Lion King, etc themed. My son, his may have a picture from hunting season or outdoor related.... My wife loves to do it and they get to be little kids for a couple of hours.

    You are never too old for cake. Maybe too much of an a**hole for people to want to give you a cake that isnt topped with laxative. But, never too old for a cake.
