    A $3 billion ship isn't so different from a dingy college dorm.

    Submarines - How to make sailors cry - Cost 3 billion $ and BUGS Wonder if they might ask for a refund


    • USS Connecticut say the ship is infested with bedbugs.
    • The sailors allege the Navy hasn’t done enough to stop the bedbugs.
    • Connecticut is one of three Seawolf-class submarines and one of the most capable subs in the world.

    Crypto whale in Singapore is buyer of $69 million Beeple NFT | The Seattle Times

    For those considering buying digital art, supposedly it is a real thing, make sure you get a NFT (non-fungible token).

    "South Africa counts between 8,000 and 12,000 lions at some 350 farms, where they are raised for hunting, tourism and academic research, according to estimates by wildlife groups."
    were wild ones number "3,500 lions live in the wild in the country"

    Found above in a article "South Africa to ban the breeding of lions in captivity for trophy hunting"

    I have no interest in hunting a lion by the way

    The wild to captive population is amazing trivia I thought

    Reminds me of our eldest grandson, just turned 7.Last week,sports day at school,in the cross country, he said he came third.........wait for it..........last.

    I seem to remember we used to sort of disappear during the cross country, never to return, but I think we were a bit older than 7,maybe 12 and onwards.
