It’s called the Blue Riband and it is for fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.

Would this have been reported as “suspected arson” otherwise?

Union workers make mistakes just like everybody else

Your health insurance card has your photo on it? I worked hospitality and retail for years and never once saw one of those CitiBank cards with the cardholder’s picture on it.

I’m curious how many people carry multiple forms of photo ID with them. Like, driver’s license and what else? My passport expired in 2019 and I haven’t renewed it since then, what other forms of ID are people expected to have?

The Bala Cynwyd post office was a nightmare every time I went. I only ever saw one person behind the counter at a time, even when the line was 10 deep. I wouldn’t say they were rude, just… apathetic? This was before the pandemic, I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better since then.

It’s undergoing major renovations, I’m still waiting to hear that it was carelessly stored tools or supplies that lead to this fire, and not arson.

Doesn’t the contractor have to post the permits at the work site, too?

Not nuclear powered, and built of aluminum not steel

This is what it is: the draw on power for Christmas lights isn’t anything unusual—the frigid temperatures are what’s throwing PJM and the power companies for a loop.

Yeah, you’re right on all points. I think my mind connected the dots from “built in the 1950’s,” “fire-proof” and “speed record holder” to erroneously conclude it must have been nuclear-powered. TIL it was made of aluminum, and had tremendous fuel capacity—i.e. fossil fueled, not atomic.

"We do have some strain on the system," PJM spokeswoman Susan Buehler told NBC10. "We're seeing increased demand because of the frigid temperatures, but we are also seeing power plants -- that we are calling on -- having difficulty managing and turning the systems on because the temperatures are so cold."

I must’ve been confusing it with the Savannah or something, I could’ve sworn it was a nuclear-powered cruise ship

That sounds like the Delaware’s problem, not the ship’s haha. It’s made of steel and had a nuclear reactor—does uranium have an odor?

What’s the smell? Or, more precisely, what’s causing the smell? Did they forget to empty the sewage tanks or what?

It ain’t ever gonna get refurbished. The most feasible plan for restoration would have involved sending it to South Street Seaport in NYC but even that wasn’t feasible enough to happen.

That distinction is called the Blue Riband

“You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now, is it?”

Snatch

Dead bodies don’t bleed out nearly as much as dying bodies with a heart still beating

Here’s a WILD idea: maybe, just maybe, change your plans for the holiday and stay home with your cats so you can keep the space heaters on and they don’t freeze. Or, you know, just carry on as normal, and leave the cats to freeze to death in your place instead. Happy holidays?

You must be new here

Oh good, the only right answer I guess

You like sitting on empty property in bustling urban centers?
