Probably preferable to going to Bremerton.
I havenât been yet. Whatâs their deal?
and here I thought that @beschizza came up with that.
At least an entire page in length. Likely more.
Far as i know, this was NOT published on April 1.

The Cook pine tree is an unusual sight to behold, with its towering height and a slightly tilting trunk. These trees were once found only in New Caledonia, but now, due to cultivation, they can be found all around the world, in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. However, scientists have discovered a strange pattern in their tilt â Cook pines lean south in their northern range and north in their southern range.
Matt Ritter, a professor at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, noticed this peculiar pattern while studying the Cook pine for a book on urban trees of California. Ritter and his colleagues studied 256 Cook pines across five continents and found that they tilt by an average of 8.55 degrees, which is double the tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Exactly what I need to plant all around my Mystery Spot!
Just be sure your Spot is right on the equator!
I canât tell if this has moved into the realm of euphemism or not.

No really, the actual CIA
One the plus side - I could pick up some great tips on swearing from the sailors. And I donât think I have to worry about the CIA trying to recruit me.
I remember vaguely where that office is because I walked past it on the sidewalk once, but there is almost no reference to its existence on the internet
Itâs the most crazy overbuilt âwe must buzz you inâ kind of metal gate you could imagine
Thatâs just a decoy office.
It doesnât have a great reputation around here. Crime isnât as bad as people say it is but itâs definitely kind of a trashy area. Thereâs a huge Navy shipyard there. Kinda cool if youâre into that kind of thing. Lots of other military and secret government stuff there too. Due to the geography if you want to get anywhere having to choose between a ferry or really long drive around the Tacoma Narrows kinda sucks.
R-Bus is an art project featuring a small self-driving bus and evolving audio. The artwork will be on display in the Kalasatama area in Helsinki, Finland from August 17th until September 3rd, 2023.
Apparently itâs going to choose itâs routes using algorithms.
