What you’re seeing is a curious shark not an aggressive one. The hand on the nose is used to put sharks to “rest.” It immediately reduces their outward-processing sensations and they engage fully with the feeling of pressure on their nose.

Here are some facts about Steven Spielberg’s yacht. ✅The MTU 20V 4000 M73L used to propel his beast is a high-performance diesel engine. Each engine in this series can consume around 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel per hour or even more, depending on the load and operational conditions. For twin engines, what Spielberg uses, this would mean a combined fuel consumption of around 2,000 gallons per hour or potentially more, to propel a 347-foot yacht. ✅Twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines burning approximately 2000 gallons of fuel per hour would emit approximately 44,760 pounds of CO2… per hour. ✅ The average American was responsible for emitting about 16 metric tons (or approximately 35,273 pounds) of CO2 equivalent… per year. Note: This figure encompasses all emissions attributed to an individual, including those from transportation, housing, food, goods, and services. ✅ “I’m terrified of [global warming],” Spielberg is on quote having stated. “Global warming is a scientific reality. It’s not a political trick. It’s a true piece of real, measurable, quantifiable science.” Stick to making movies.

Whoopi Goldberg earns $10 million per year salary for the view and is worth an estimated $85 million. She has 15 luxury cars. Oh, and 120 luxury watches, some of which she probably keeps on one of her 2 yachts. That’s $4,807.60 per hour if she worked all 2,080 working hours in a year (which she does not). This does not include additional income from celebrity ads, speaking engagements, etc. which totals another $3 million. Btw: you could not do most of those things if you were already working at least 40 hrs per week. Anyone earning that much standing on a pedestal calling people struggling to make ends meet “lazy” is foolish and out of touch with reality. That’s bipartisan truth.

Okay, hang on. I was a.) an Air Force medic trained in respiratory therapy and b.) put on a ventilator during Covid (no pre-existing conditions of any kind, I’m 33) This isn’t anecdotal because I’m coming at this as a technician who has had many patients on ventilators. This isn’t true. Nearly all those patients would have died without the ventilator. So saying they died BECAUSE they were on a ventilator is deceptive. I knew and made my own decision to go on the ventilator, realizing at that time the mortality rate for patients on ventilators was 55-85%, and knew with the stats I had I would die without it. And I was struggling cognitively. This was a medical intervention of last resort and it was used that way. Anyone who wants to try and argue this one out with me, I dare you to invite me to a Spaces.

I'm from Hawaii and have been in the construction industry my whole life, 3rd generation. The playbook for what will happen in Maui next is not new, surprising or even close to ethical. Here's what to watch for as events continue to unfold: First, for context understand that this information is not something I came up with -- in fact, it's quite the opposite. Among large scale developers, home builders, commercial and industrial construction companies, this is all common knowledge. It just isn't something most people care to recognize. 1 - By immediately declaring a disaster zone, the Governor and State will suspend any traditional practices of rebuilding. No one really thinks this bad. We all agree that needs to happen because of the staggering loss of life, damage, and flat-out danger the area poses until it's properly managed. What happens next is where it gets dark. 2 - Rezoning. The Governor and State of Hawaii will make seemingly "good" decisions that will in fact, be very, very bad. The next few points may not be fun or interesting but they're critically important. 3 - This will include things like: extending the rebuild zone back from the water line due to flood risk - in Hawaii this is a floodplain. In doing so, many heritage and legacy homes owned by local families will no longer be allowed to rebuild. Their property value being deemed a loss, the State may/may not force insurance to pay it's rightful value to property owners. 4 - Enforce current commercial building zone standards on all rebuilds. Did you own a regular family-style home? Now you need to build a far more expensive home in order to hit baseline standards that your home never had, sorry. Sometimes what the State will do is "grant" a certain amount of relief funds to offset those increased costs but they are nearly never even close to the true increased cost. 5 - Increase standards on all "new" builds, which includes rebuilds. Did you have a small store that sat on one of the streets in the commercial district of Lahaina? Now you need a $100k fire suppression system for your 1,100 sf building. You'll also need hurricane-rated doors, windows, siding and and all kinds of other new-build zoned requirements. I'm sorry, you're going to sell that property now because there's no way the bank will loan you that amount of money -- you never did enough volume to cover that level of overhead. But you did have a good solid business before. Just not anymore. 6 - Rezone residential for commercial. In deeming an area unfit for residential, the Governor and State can say "this is no longer safe for a home because it will need too much site infrastructure repair for you to afford a regular house. We'll save everyone the headache and make it available to sell for commercial development since they can afford all these new retroactive repairs." This will be things like: a new water main and service lines (that would have been mostly undamaged from fire) with greater capacity, more manholes for easier access, underground electrical where overhead lines used to be, larger force main lines for sewer, etc. Home owners absolutely cannot carry those types of large scale investments. Which leads me to the last point. Now this is highly controversial for most Hawaiians, so please take it in the context of what it actually means, not as my opinion. 7 - The Governor and State will halt all investment abilities from developers outside the State of Hawaii, to include foreign investors. This is a death blow. Here's why: many foreign and continental U.S. residential and commercial developers have no interest in gaining permanent footholds in the Islands. They are there for profit. They're also some of the only organizations who can afford to do all site infrastructure repairs then build single-family homes in the same area. Why? Because they don't need to make a 40 to 60% profit margin on those homes like smaller developers do. They have scale on their side. They can do 140 single-family homes and walk away because they do this everywhere all the time. They have no vested interested in being stuck in a small place like Maui. Who then does have a desire to come in to those places? It's really only two types of organizations. And these are in order of likelihood to plant their talons into Lahaina and compound the tragedy of lives lost and property gone by forever polluting that shoreline. 1 - Multi-family skyrise units. The most valuable property on Earth, everywhere, is shoreline. Typically this is done by foreign or US investors, so it seems backwards to block them out now. Not necessarily. What happens is they must now partner with local companies (boosting the Hawaii economy more directly) and because the State of Hawaii is legendarily corrupt (see: The Rail Project), pay to play, which they will. 2 - Commercial/industrial buildings. Who doesn't want to stay at a gorgeous brand new hotel that brought so many jobs back to Lahaina, truly boosting the local economy and helping the region get back on it's feet? Along with this, a stunning set of restaurants, shopping area... where people go when they stay there. So much life is back where there wasn't much before! The answer to this cruel joke is anyone who lived in Lahaina before. The multiple generations of families who had small plantation-style homes, where both parents worked hard to never lose that house to the State or overseas developers. The ones that turned down a million dollar offer for their property to be razed because they care more about their way of life and well being of their community than getting rich quick. My heart breaks for my home State, the people who lost loved ones in a tragedy that should never have become this severe, and the losses that will continue to stack up for an already burdened undeserving people because the chance to snatch power is too great for our weak government "leadership." @WallStreetSilv @KanekoaTheGreat @nicksortor As a final parting point, just in case someone out there thinks this disaster wasn't the direct result of a colossal failure in leadership, I would like to direct you to the following facts: It wasn't just that the helicopters couldn't take off in 80+ mph winds. That's a partial truth. The rest of the truth is publicly available (but lesser-known) information: There was a water rights dispute. Emergency fire department responders began requesting at 9am for water dedicated to a specific area of the island to be rerouted to Lahaina (fire trucks cannot pump ocean water) because there wasn't enough available, and they were denied access until TWO O'CLOCK PM THAT AFTERNOON.

This is my gorgeous wife pregnant with our fifth that we are having on purpose because we love having a big family. She has her MBA and is getting her doctorate. For work she manages the PnL of nearly 40 autism clinics, totaling about $30 million. When she is not working, she loves spending time with our kids and me, despite the fact I can be a real asshole. When I got COVID in 2021 and spent 45 days on a ventilator, lost 77lbs laying in the bed, was given a trachea and multiple lung surgeries, she not only stayed employed, but remained by my side 10+ hrs a day. She took over Nurse tech duties while in the room, giving me sponge baths, washing my hair, trimming my beard and wiping me as I was too weak to sit up. She remained attracted to me despite needing to detox from the most fentanyl the hospital has ever given a patient on record in order to keep me sedated, which meant I temporarily became an absolute monster. She is a powerful woman and the best gift I have ever been given — it’s a privilege to be her husband. As an ex-Air Force Medic I would bet on her against every military person I’ve ever met by pure grit and intellect.

Thanks for sharing this, it’s fascinating. When I was in the ICU for 53 days w/COVID, the sensation of suffocating was frequent. Because the model of ventilator they were using wasn’t the same ones they normally kept in the hospital, the piece that connected it to my tracheotomy was not the right fit and it kept popping off as I came out of sedation. It was a living nightmare: the tracheotomy bypassed my vocal cords, so I would have to sit or lay there unable to move much at all with no voice and slowly drowning. Here’s the thing: no matter how many times it happened I never got used to the sensation. Not even once. It became familiar but I lacked control over my ability to respond. Reading these clips make perfect sense. No matter how much fentanyl or ketamine I take was given (at one point I was given 300 mcg of fentanyl doses) coming in or out of the coma the hallucinations I experienced were always about drowning or suffocation. To the outside world a coma looks like a mostly even unconscious person with occasional stirring. To me and probably most others, it’s much more sensory with a near-constant series of peaks and valleys of lucidity as the brain fights to stay alive and put off the effects of the drugs. Nothing brought me out of it faster than feeling like I was choking. And that was the most difficult part of recovery: learning to live with that sensation on a very frequent basis. To this day I struggle with instinctive frustration and rage anytime my O2 drops in the 80’s, which happens with most physical activities.

The "fuel consumption at rated power" for an engine, as provided by the manufacturer, typically doesn't account for the specific load of a particular boat. Instead, it gives a standardized value based on engine performance in controlled conditions, often derived from tests on a dynamometer or other controlled environments. Your ignorance is showing, friend, and it isn't pretty. Now try your calculation to INCLUDE the mass of the yacht.
