  - 3 going, 5 coming. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 04:14 1
    - that sucks, but hopefully customs won't screw you worse and miss connections. Does Westjet have a VIP lounge area? - Beaker Aug 9, 04:18

- its out in the open, doesn't get much more public than that, though getting grounded in shallow water is quite possible accidentially - zeitgeist Aug 8, 23:14 3
  - The thing with that particular waterway is that the dropoff is very very steep. And it's the entrance to that harbour, so dozens of boats went past. -- (pic) -- (link*) - Beryllium Aug 8, 23:25 [Attachment] 2
    - It's a little bit of a complicated area to navigate through, but they ended up aground at the silliest possible spot. -- (pic) - Beryllium Aug 8, 23:29 [Attachment]

  - Nobel Prize winners are such dumbasses. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 23:32 4
    - He was once a nobel prize winner, now he's a partisan hack that couldn't figure out spending trillions we didn't have would lead to inflation. -- nm - Ender Aug 8, 23:43 3
