Indonesian farmer swallowed whole by 23-foot-long python


Would have been a different story if it chewed him up.

I think Face is only interested in Florida because of the bounty situation. Malaysia is too poor to pay bounties and so corrupt they would only offer them but never actually pay.

I would be suspicious about the circumstances of the man's death, as it takes quite a bit of good luck (from the snake's perspective) to catch, kill and swallow a grown man. A 23 foot long python may be powerful if they get you completely wrapped, but they aren't quick enough to catch you if you are healthy.

Maybe they'll all be wearing just an eye patch.

NEW YORK — Westinghouse Electric Co., which helped drive the development of nuclear energy and the electric grid itself, filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday, casting a shadow over the global nuclear industry.

The company’s corporate parent, Toshiba of Japan, is scrambling to stanch huge losses stemming from Westinghouse’s troubled nuclear construction projects in the American South. Now, the future of those projects, which once seemed to be on the leading edge of a renaissance for nuclear energy, is in doubt.

Just in time for the comeback of the coal
industry, which Trump just saved. Amazing.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

The Navy showed how to do nuclear power cheaply and safely... no one wants to follow simple rules.

ONE system, no technology creep or individualized changes. No unique panels or even logos.

Sterile cockpit at all times. No conversation.

Whats so difficult?

Ever hear of a siesta? The problem is that a police report there is a dime a dozen, so ... who knows?

One tourist fell asleep watching these giant Monitor Lizards... they found his cane. Thats all.
