That tsunami was what, Christmas eve or something of 2004? 2006?

I can’t fathom death tolls approaching a quarter-half million and how there is no possible way to get a number even close to accurate as entire tribes and islands were washed away.
Day after Christmas 2004. A bunch of us were in a sports bar in Hong Kong drinking and the news came on. We just looked around at each other and knew where we were headed.

Video translation to English:
“todayinthemilitaryworld
The terrible explosion that on August 4, 2020 destroyed the port area of the city of Beirut. The explosion is seen at 0:10, but the shock wave only reaches the camera at 0:37. Based on this data, how far away did the explosion occur?”

Speed of sound at sea level is approximately 761 mph (1116 feet per second). 27 seconds elapsed from sight of explosion to sound heard.

Estimated distance from camera to explosion = 27x1116=30,132 feet (5.7 miles).

Similar situation just happened in Port Townsend here. Court allowed a 3mo old baby to go back to the father who was homeless living in a tent in a park. He'd been caught cheating a piss test, and after just a few days the baby was found dead in its car seat in a bush. Last I heard they declined to charge the guy.
Yeah & the so called child protection services never get held accountable.

Lol I don’t know about the best, but it certainly has been some of the easiest.
Can attest from when I used to deliver to the hospitals at the loading dock. The nurses were sitting there smoking waiting to clock in. One big boobed red head kept asking me out every Wednesday when I was there. I lived to far away to actual go out with her. One day she just said there's a bathroom just inside, want to join me? No need to guess my answer.

Thank God. I hate people who think they can get away with disturbing the peace. I'd like to do the same thing to people who whistle. lol

They say the mornings are when people are actually the horniest.
In that case, obviously. She did ask me to go out a few more times (I should've, as she was pretty wild and hot) till I explained I was seeing two other girls and lived a ways away. She was still there every Wednesday when I got there till the day I left that job.
