Yeah that was me. Then I heard about the triangle off the coast of Spain or something. So then I started making potential triangles all over the place. I had a globe with a schizo amount of triangles on it.
Personally, i assumed that being on fire was something i would have to go through at least once in my life. But as time goes on, i have not had the need to, even once, stop, drop or roll.
I once fell ass backwards into a fire pit. I was stopped and dropped but I could not roll. Was pulled out pretty quickly but my butt will forever have those burns.
Hmm why? Scrubber tech is getting better, the ppm requirements are stricter, and low grade fuel coal and diesel with sulfur in it is become less available. Which makes sense since do you want to move x amount of money to move y amount of weight or do you want to make more than x to move y amount of weight. Shit fuel that causes acid rain weights and takes up the same volume as the same as the stuff that doesn’t cause acid rain.
The thing about quicksand that bothers me is that they never explain where you would encounter it. So I just assumed all sand could potentially become quicksand if it was deep enough. I guess I thought beaches weren’t deep enough
You need fine sand and lots of water so beaches weren’t exactly wrong but it’s still somewhat rare. Warning sign on Texel (Netherlands). Swamps are another candidate though there’s also other traps there, as well as mudflats… or at least it’s a very similar phenomenon the German term is different (Schlickloch vs. Treibsand) but it’s essentially the same thing. Don’t go walking from island to island without someone who can read the ground, maps would be useless they change every low tide. Also don’t leave when the water is already coming back. Also, don’t complain to your hotel that the sea is gone it’s a feature, not a bug.
This was always the reason at school for why we weren’t allowed to splash on puddles or walk in the mud. Even as a kid I called bullshit because I never saw tons of abandoned shoes in the mud. As a parent now I wonder how the heck they keep the kids out of the mud and puddles as well as they did
