They didn’t fall off the cruise ship, but off of a container ship nearby.
Sixteen containers fell from a cargo ship near the Nab tower lighthouse off Bembridge, Isle of Wight, at around 6pm on Saturday.
The cruise ship is stuck because the container ship needs to recover the containers to protect the environment (and they don’t explicitly say, but moving a cruise ship through the harbor will kick up sediment and might damage the containers).
You know your dad better than I do, but the vast majority of parents don’t want to hear those. It would hurt my father quite a bit emotionally to have to hear about the times that he wasn’t there to protect me (he was an incredibly present father, nothing to do with being a deadbeat).
Those hacker news comments are rough
For some reason, subtitles are terrible, but if you plug a couple of pages into deepl, it’s pretty understandable. You need to clean it up a little, but that’s pretty easy. I am a language teacher, and actively have to design assignments so that my students can’t just plug them into deepl, because it renders them pointless (for about a third of the class, two thirds don’t clean anything up and it’s obvious).
Right, right, I forgot. Germany has zero welfare for its people, and exclusively spends taxes on supporting Israel and billionaires. What valid information you’ve shared! Too bad that there’s no healthcare, food, or housing support for community members.
Or wait, maybe I’m not the one burying my head in the sand…
Asbestos might not cause mesothelioma if ingested, but it’s been linked to digestive system cancers as well
What’s your experience with the German tax system? Because it doesn’t sound like you know shit
Nothing as lib as supporting your community and parting with money you don’t have to.
Read a fucking book

It’s always nice when you don’t have to feel mixed emotions about someone
I mean, ideally they want to stay.
This is the relevant section from the wiki:
Many jurisdictions have enacted regulations relating to the disposal of human bodies. Although it may be entirely legal to bury a deceased family member, the law may restrict the locations in which this activity is allowed, in some cases expressly limiting burials to property controlled by specific, licensed institutions. Furthermore, in many places, failure to properly dispose of a body is a crime. In some places, it is also a crime to fail to report a death, and to fail to report the disposal of the body.[37]
From your link:
Having a grave too close to a water source is either not wise or not legal. It also may not be permitted to have a gravesite within a certain distance of a building or your property line. These are called setbacks, and setback laws are different for each state. Often, setback rules make it all but impossible to put a grave in someone’s urban or suburban property without breaking the law.
I’d be interested in how widespread the legality is practically, because (reasonably) everything I looked at said to check local laws, but I can understand why that’s not included exhaustively. My family tried to in a rural area of a non rural state where the sources say it’s allowed, but the setbacks made it practically impossible- watershed areas are larger than you would expect, even without visible bodies of water nearby.
nothing illegal about just getting dropped in a hole as-is on private property most places
That’s not true for good reason- people who don’t know what they’re doing could contaminate groundwater/runoff very easily.
It shouldn’t be as expensive as it is, and I’d support dropping unembalmed corpses without certain diseases (an asymptomatic or undiagnosed prion disease could be incredibly dangerous) in a hole, as long as they are adequately buried. That would require an autopsy and either significant refrigeration costs or a rushed job without embalming though.
That’s a good law. Now if we could only enforce it.
It’s not evenly split, it’s $50/week for each week worked between 2021-2024, up to ~$7,700/worker.
It’s still not enough. Especially because that’s roughly equivalent to 200 minutes of minimum wage pay for NYC.
a “worrying escalation” of the conflict
An attack with no injuries is a worrying escalation of the full blown war in which the other party keeps vaguely (or not so vaguely) threatening nukes?
Are the soldiers obligated to rescue shipwrecked survivors? I ask because, if not, this seems bizarrely stupid (or right in line for this admin). They could just leave them in the water and it would probably accomplish the same thing (I don’t approve of it, to be clear, but it seems less shortsighted). Even if they are, they could pretend not to notice them.
That’s the CD, not the concert
The world should follow Canada’s lead and nobody should visit from anywhere.
I’m American living in Germany and married to a German. I brought him to meet my family last November, because I suspected trump would win or there would be a more significant version of January 6th. People keep asking when we’re coming back, but why the hell would I endanger my husband like that? It’s simply not safe for anyone right now, but especially for noncitizens.
I miss my family and friends, but they can come visit us. We’ll even help them get started learning German and help with their visas and housing if they want to stay.
in any situation
Really? So if an invading army rolls down the street, everyone should just try to have a chat?
I’m pretty sure it’s The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker, here’s an excerpt with the kangaroo story.
