Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Wonder how many fish per load they average? Gotta be one unlucky fish to get burned up in a forest fire.

 

I don't think Edge is too bad.

 

No, it isn't. Only reason I haven't switched from Chrome on my Windows system is inertia.

Prefer Safari on my macOS system tho.

 

Firefox is what I run.

 

A common question, and the intake is quite small. I was looking for the spec, didn't find it readily, but recall from seeing it in person to be two - 4" x 14" openings. They take on 13,000lbs of water in 12 seconds. Pretty sure if it were to ingest a fish, the fish would not survive the intake.

No sir. Not gonna do that.

 

In that case they're not gonna notice the forest fire.

 

Well that escalated quickly...


Danbury, Connecticut names sewage plant after John Oliver




John Oliver dumped on the wrong Connecticut town.

The British comedian took the piss out of Danbury on his HBO show last week — so officials are naming the local sewage plant after him.

“We are going to rename it the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” Mayor Mark Boughton said Saturday in a .

“Why? Because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”

The move comes after the Aug. 16 episode of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” in which the host explored the racial disparities in the jury selection process, citing problems in a few Connecticut towns.

He then randomly brought up Danbury, saying: “If you are going to forget a town in Connecticut, why not forget Danbury because — and this is true — f–k Danbury.”

Oliver then noted the town’s “charming railway museum” and its “historic Hearthstone Castle” — before raising a stink.

“Danbury Connecticut can eat my whole a—,” Oliver said.

He continued: “I know exactly three things about Danbury, USA Today ranked it the second-best city to live in in 2015, it was once the center of the American hat industry.”

“And if you’re from there, you have a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver — children included — f–k you.”

It’s unclear what prompted Oliver to go off on Danbury.

The host also ripped Boughton and other American mayors in 2017 over videos they made trying to draw Amazon to their towns.

In his new video, Boughton tried to wipe the smile off Oliver’s face, saying: “And, oh by the way… We did get Amazon here in Danbury.”

 

Forgot about this one. I took this photo in Ft Myers a few years ago.

 

Rough seas?

 

Someone forgot the transom straps...

 

They obviously didn't get the joke.

 

I don't watch Oliver and I've not been to CT in about three decades.

What was the joke?

 

I don’t see the joke either. But I suggest a citizen of Danbury travel north and invite this guy to thrash them.
Oh wait, this gutless coward knows the borders are closed. Perhaps he should come down. Then see what good his canadian health care is when he’s hospitalized.

 

Nice Try, the John Oliver in question is an american, in fact ran afoul of Cdn politics as well, or so he was hoping for, not that we pay attention. Yes, Border is closed, you can keep him.

Then just deport him. No country needs foreigners causing problems.

 

Go ahead, he's a citizen of your country - New York, NY. Not sure where you'ld deport him to though - Puerto Rico? or eliminate his citizenship & send him back to the Queen. He's originally from the UK.
