  1. They look to be in great condition. I'm sure they will work flawlessly. But, I'm sure they will make a nice fireworks show when their storage site is hit.
  2. Shark Chases Teen to Land After Mauling Him Off Popular Beach July 12, 2025 by David Jones A 16-year-old boy was severely injured in a shark attack off the coast of Cabarita Beach in Bogangar, New South Wales, Australia. The incident occurred on a Sunday afternoon, just before 4 p.m., and was captured on video, showing the nearly 7-foot shark racing towards the shore behind the teenager. The shark inflicted severe injuries on the right side of the boy’s body, including his leg, hand, and arm. As the shark continued to lurk nearby, bystanders rushed to the boy’s aid. The video footage shows the shark’s fin visible in the water, adding to the chilling scene. In a heroic act, a good Samaritan punched the shark, keeping it at bay while others carried the injured teen to safety. Using a surfboard as a makeshift stretcher, they managed to transport the boy away from the dangerous situation. An off-duty paramedic from Queensland was among the bystanders and quickly applied a tourniquet to the boy’s wounds to stop the bleeding. The boy’s condition at the time was not clear, but he had received immediate medical attention even before the lifeguards arrived at the scene. Stephen Pearce, CEO of NSW Surf Lifesaving, spoke to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation about the incident. He was unsure if the boy was with friends at the time of the attack, but noted that a tourniquet had already been applied to the injured limbs by the time their lifeguards reached him. Following the initial treatment, paramedics arrived and airlifted the teenager to Gold Coast University Hospital. He was reported to be in serious but stable condition.
  3. I don't own one yet but I wonder if it is better to save a ton of money with the Thor icemaker and when it breaks, it isn't quite the money pit. https://www.burkett.com/blog/post/how-to-know-when-to-replace-your-ice-machine Ice machines are a staple in every commercial kitchen. A good ice machine is the difference between foggy cubes and a crisp, refreshing drink. Sadly, with every piece of equipment comes a lifespan. With proper cleaning, a quality ice machine will last around 4 to 5 years on average, sometimes even longer. So how do you know when it’s time to replace your ice machine? The first thing you need to do is locate the problem. When your ice machine is on the fritz, there are two main reasons: either your ice machine has been overworked, or the filter has. A filter is less expensive and easier to replace, so let's start there! The Filter Manitowoc AR-10000 14,000 Gallon Arctic Pure Water Filter You want your customers to have the purest ice, right? The first step toward pure ice is a good filter. Ice filtration systems are simply water filters in your machine that filter the water before freezing. Your unit may require between one to three filters, depending on the size of your ice machine. Routine Replacement These filters should be replaced every 6 months to reduce wear and tear on the machine, ensuring your unit is working as intended. The act of replacing your filter is so important that Ice-O-Matic even offers an extended warranty for doing so! If you purchase a 3-in-1 water filter with a new Ice-O-Matic machine and replace the filter every 6 months, the warranty on the evaporator is extended from 5 years to 7 years! Learn more about water filters and why they're important to your ice machine with this blog post. Know the Signs Without routine filter replacements, you may run into issues more unappetizing than a worn down machine. Does your ice have a bad taste or odor? Is it cloudy or off-color? Knowing the signs your filter needs a little TLC will help you catch any problems and take preventative steps in the future. Mineral Deposits: Municipal water companies only remove contaminants that are harmful to human health. Many dissolved minerals are not harmful, therefore are not removed. Mineral laden water results in ice that appears cloudy and can make a drink smell and taste unappealing. Slime Build-Up: Slime build-up can result from a poorly maintained ice machine. Ice made from a slimy machine will appear cloudy with a slight yellow, green or red tint and can cause illness, especially in those with weakened immune systems. Chlorination: Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to water in order to treat it and kill harmful germs. Residual chlorine remains in the water supply giving the water an unappealing taste. Mineral deposits from hard water don't only collect in your filter and cause mineral laden water, this build up of scale is harmful to your ice machine as a whole. This brings us to our next stop in your ice machine journey! The Machine Scotsman Meridian HID312A-1 Countertop Ice Maker & Dispenser We already mentioned that the average lifespan for a commercial ice machine is around 4-5 years. However, your ice machine works hard day and night and sometimes it gets a little worn out. We can definitely relate. There are multiple reasons your machine may not be quite as efficient anymore. Heat. The enemy of ice. If your kitchen is consistently hot, it's very likely your ice production has dropped. When the ambient temperature heats up, so does your water, forcing your ice machine to work even harder to produce your ice supply. Dirty Condensers. A dirty condenser coil is one of the main reason for service calls. A condenser coil that is dirty, slimy, or grimy will prevent warm air from filtering out of your machine. What did we say heat was again? Scale. Build up of mineral deposits, or scale, is a big cause of ice machine failure. Make sure to clean the machine consistently, as well as replacing your filter every 6 months. All of these obstacles can wear down your ice machine and cause that average lifespan to start declining. A good rule of thumb is if you've noticed an uptick in your service calls, it's probably time for a new ice machine. What next? Is it time to replace your ice machine? If so, the next step is picking out the right machine for your business! There are endless options between brands, air or water cooled, ice shape, machine size, and so much more. Let us help you find the perfect fit!

Chainsaw said: I didn't realize our Congresscritters from both sides of the aisle were doing photo ops with Sudanese leadership and sending billions of my fucking money to them so that they can bomb hospitals and set up a firing squad for starving people looking for food I said: What are you two putzes clamoring about? Chainsaw said that we didn't give billions to Sudan, that we didn't do political photoshoots with Sudan and that Sudan didn't bomb hospitals, commit genocide, or kill children. It isn't my fault that you and chainsaw don't know a god damn thing about Sudan. I showed you the info. and instead of thanking me for fixing your ignorance, you argued and gave me a fuck you. I'm sorry for educating you on Sudan. I guess I should have left you and chainsaw clueless - not that that is anything new. So please explain to me what he said.

  6. so that they can bomb hospitals and set up a firing squad for starving people looking for food https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8j18w3ndg9o Children killed in 'appalling' Sudan hospital attack - WHO head "Another appalling attack" on a hospital in Sudan has seen more than 40 people killed, many of them children and medics, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said. "We cannot say this louder," wrote Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on X on Tuesday, "attacks on health must stop everywhere!" Al-Mujlad Hospital was struck on Saturday, and is located in West Kordofan state, close to one of the frontlines where Sudan's warring parties are fighting in the conflict that is now in its third year. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) blames its opponents the Sudanese army for attacking the hospital, as do two prominent civil society groups, but the army itself has yet to comment on the allegation. Since Sudan's civil war began in April 2023, the scale of suffering is so vast that the UN has labelled it the world's worst humanitarian crisis. In addition to allegations of genocide in Darfur, the murder of many thousands of civilians across the country, plus the displacement of millions more, both sides in this conflict have been accused of carrying out war crimes on medical facilities and staff, according to evidence seen by BBC News Arabic. Al-Mujlad Hospital, in the town of Muglad, was "the only functioning healthcare facility in the area", according to the Sudan Doctors Network. Of the more than 40 people killed, six of them were children and five were health workers, the WHO's office in Sudan said on Sunday. Dozens of other people were injured too, it added. Crucially, the hospital ran a dialysis unit and focused on the care of civilians as opposed to soldiers, according to the Emergency Lawyers group, which documents abuses by both the RSF and the army. Both the Sudan Doctors Network and the Emergency Lawyers group say the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) were to blame for the attack on Saturday. But the doctors' body says the reason for the attack was that the army was trying to kill RSF fighters "stationed inside" al-Mujlad Hospital. The RSF has not commented on that claim, nor has the army. On Monday, the head of the UN children's agency, Unicef, warned of a "worsening crisis" for children caused by Sudan's civil war and said the aid response lacked two.... https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/10/1156266 Sudan’s ‘living nightmare’ continues as 11 million flee war, mass killings © WFP/Abubakar Garelnabei A mother carries her baby in Port Sudan, on the Sudanese coast. 29 October 2024 Peace and Security Escalating violence and new atrocities in Sudan have pushed the humanitarian crisis to unprecedented levels, with displacement now exceeding 11 million people amid reports of mass killings and systematic-sexual violence across multiple regions, UN officials said on Tuesday. “The situation in Sudan is catastrophic. There is simply no other way to put it. Hunger disease and sexual violence are rampant. For the people of Sudan, this is a living nightmare,” warned Amy Pope, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former partners turned rivals for power, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has now displaced 11 million inside the country. After more than 18 months of war, 3.1 million are sheltering beyond its borders, IOM said on Tuesday. Violence surges UN human rights chief Volker Türk also voiced “extreme concern” on Tuesday over a dramatic escalation of hostilities in Sudan’s Al-Jazirah State. According to his rights office (OHCHR) the violence intensified following the 20 October defection of RSF commander Abu Aqla Keikel to the forces of the ruling military Government. In apparent retaliation, the RSF launched a series of attacks targeting members of his ethnic group, killing at least 124 people on Friday in Al-Seriha village, with uncorroborated video reportedly showing dozens of bodies lined up for burial. The violence follows earlier brutal attacks by RSF ground forces on the nearby towns of Tamboul and Rufaa, with hundreds reportedly killed amid widespread looting and destruction. Reports indicate civilians were detained, communication devices confiscated, and crops burned, in what was once considered the country’s “breadbasket”, OHCHR revealed. As a result of the violence, thousands of families have reportedly been displaced from Al-Jazirah state. “All wars are brutal, but the toll of this one is particularly horrifying,” said Ms. Pope. “Indiscriminate attacks are killing civilians, including young children, some of the areas of most severe need remain cut off entirely, with no access to humanitarian aid” she added. Sexual violence reaches ‘staggering’ levels Amid the escalating violence, a new report by the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission reveals widespread sexual violence by RSF forces, particularly in Greater Khartoum, Darfur and Geziera States. The acts amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the investigation. The investigators mandated by the Human Rights Council report at least 25 verified cases of sexual violence, including attacks against medical personnel and an 11-year-old girl who died as a result. “The sheer scale of sexual violence we have documented in Sudan is staggering,” said Mohamed Chande Othman, Chair of the Fact-Finding Mission. “The situation faced by vulnerable civilians, in particular women and girls of all ages, is deeply alarming and needs urgent address.” Response falls short Despite the severity of the crisis, the international community’s response remains severely underfunded, with the UN’s humanitarian appeal only 52 percent funded. IOM’s portion is just 20 percent funded, despite having assisted nearly three million people since the war began. “Sudan is easily the most neglected crisis in the world today. The collective failure to act means the devastation risks spilling over into neighboring countries,” warned Ms. Pope, who urges immediate international action to prevent further regional destabilization. LOLs. Don't be a clown. I'm not the one who said, "I didn't realize our Congresscritters from both sides of the aisle were doing photo ops with Sudanese leadership and sending billions of my fucking money to them so that they can bomb hospitals and set up a firing squad for starving people looking for food " Better?
  7. They really like the transfer TE so Winston and Townsend and Washington will play secondary roles. If Endries stays 2 years, there isn't a huge glaring need to have a guy sit for 2 years at the NIL he would command. This means that Texas will take a TE opportunistically this year but won't dedicate a huge chunk of money.
  8. The US has provided over $2.3 billion in humanitarian assistance to Sudan and neighboring countries since the start of the conflict in April 2023. This includes over $1.4 billion from USAID and over $980 million in fiscal year 2024. The US is the largest single donor of humanitarian aid to Sudan.
  9. Lance Jackson looks like a DT and Justus Terry looks like a DE. I'll be interested to watch them play this year.

We hope that our kids never, ever face it. But you know, Texas is a resilient, incredible state." To learn how to help support the victims and recovery efforts from the Texas floods, click here.
  11. If you want to be taken seriously, you shouldn't deliberately misinterpret what was said. But now that you brought it up, please explain the system whereby each country is held to a different standard. What standard is set for Russia in Ukraine? How about China? How about Yemen, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia? How about Sudan, Nigeria, Mali? Who sets the standard and what is the process for setting the standard? Once the standard is set, who enforces it and how is it enforced?
  12. I do think this shows that we are willing to spend when we have an absolute need and the likelihood of early college success is high. For RB maybe we will wait to see what we have and for OL, the cost wasn’t worth the risk for our tackle option.
  13. That actually surprises me. Didn't CTJ post on the old 360 board?
  14. wife's also
  15. Just turned 60 - it sucked - but better than the alternative. But I would be careful engaging in this conversation with Tforn. You are only 10 less than me. I think he is in his 30s. About 17 years ago I was having a conversation with a med school student from UGA and he was saying that Georgia hadn’t had a good kicker in years. And I said who was that guy who kicked like a 62 yarder … I think his name was Butler. He said he didn’t know a Butler, then thought about it for a second, and said “Wait a minute, that’s Kevin Butler, his son is on the team now”. I turned around and walked away in shame. Well, sure that’s a funny story. But that was like 17 years ago. That kid for Georgia is 36 now and his son will probably be kicking for Georgia pretty soon. MTF, getting old sucks.
  16. My son is about to get engaged so I may be only a couple of years away.
  17. Well, you failed.
  18. Grieving family of murdered South African superyacht ‘golden girl’ travel to Bahamas to face alleged killer By Ronny Reyes Published July 10, 2025, 11:45 a.m. ET The grieving family of the South African “golden girl” crew member found dead in the Bahamas have traveled to the Caribbean nation to face the superyacht engineer accused of sexually assaulting and murdering their daughter. Paige Bell was found partially undressed in the ship’s engine room on July 3 — just days before her 21st birthday — with Mexican national Brigido Munoz, 40, charged with her murder before a Nassau court on Wednesday. 4 Paige Bell, 20, was considered a “golden girl” crew member. Chelsey Jacobs/Facebook As the grizzly details of her death were recounted before the court, the victim’s parents, Michelle and John Bell, were on the island to “begin the painful process of bringing their baby girl home,” the Daily Mail reported. “Our family is facing an unimaginable journey,” Bell’s sister, Chelsey Jacobs, said in a statement, adding that her family is “seeking justice for the monster that took her life.” 4 The Far From It super4 yacht sailing in the Bahamas. motoryacht_farfromit/Instagram Super yacht crew member killed on deluxe ship days shy of 21st birthday During Wednesday’s hearing, the court heard that Bell was found with slash wounds on her neck, with additional injuries found on her arms, suggesting she tried to fend off her alleged attacker, according to the Mail. Because her body was found partially dressed, officials believe Munoz may have sexually assaulted Bell, but he has only been charged with murder so far. 4 Superyacht engineer Brigido Munoz, 39, is accused of murdering Paige Bell. brigido.munoz.12/facebook Police found Munoz with injuries around his arms, describing them as a result of a suicide attempt. He was hospitalized before being charged. The two crew members worked aboard the Far From It superyacht, which ran charters for nearly $140,000 a week. At the time of Bell’s death, the ship was anchored off Harbour Island. A native of Johannesburg, Bell was remembered as a “golden girl” by loved ones, while former employers in the yachting world also spoke glowingly of her, according to the UK outlet. “Paige was more than a teammate, she was family,” wrote a crew member from one of her former boats, Sweet Emocean. 4 Paige Bell’s family is grieving her death. Gofundme “From day one her vibrant energy and positivity shone through, she was loved by her crew members. Not to mention being a rockstar in guest relations,” Stephanus Coetzer, another Sweet Emocean wrote on Facebook. Coetzer said it was Bell’s dream to rise to the top as a manager of a yacht crew, and pushed others to aspire to be their best. A GoFundMe was set up to help the family retrieve Bell’s body and pay for the funeral expenses.
  19. Dude, he said, " it’s been said here we are saving money for 3 players". And you know that he is in Maui. So, I think reading comprehension would indicate that he heard it in Maui, probably from a patient under sedation.
  20. I was feeling pretty good until I saw this.
