10 hours agoI did it for fun for a few years, had press credentials for PAX, that was probably the biggest “pay” I got.
Still worth it.

They haven’t found treasure, but what they have found is still interesting from a history perspective.
Last season they dug up the “U-shaped structure” buried under Smith’s Cove.
The large log beams marked with Roman numerals sure seems mysterious… but the best explanation seems to be a barn that blew off another island in a storm and washed up on Oak Island:

It’s an interesting story… but then I also grew up with the stories about Fort Vancouver which is under constant excavation with no expectation of finding treasure:

Yeah, Clickbait has no place anywhere, even if the article itself is fine…
I swear to god the next time I see “side hustle” in my Google News feed…
One suggestion I’d like to see as a differentiator from the Science subreddit… The subreddit really seemed humorless to a degree where it felt like the mods were joyless scholars with giant sticks in a really uncomfortable place (What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?)
I get the need for standards on post quality, I just hope there isn’t a heavy hand on comment quality.
Streaming bootlegged games is a fast track to legal trouble. I don’t blame Nintendo at all here.
711·3 days agoI found out yesterday that the entire family of one of my good friends has been displaced in Lebanon. They are NOT Hezbollah, they just had the bad luck of “living while Arab in Lebanon”.
Israel can get fucked.
They did not join Nato, got invaded twice ANYWAY… Almost like it was never about NATO, huh, go figure.
Finland joined NATO - not invaded… Go figure!
Basically anything that would make your boss go “OMG! What are you looking at?” needs the tag.
The usual nudity, but also anything bloody or dead.
When I first moved out on my own, I had a room mate from Beirut, Lebanon, here on a refugee Visa. Took him YEARS to get his citizenship.
He came home from work one day super frustrated.
“Do you know any Spanish?”
“No, but what do you want to say? Maybe we can figure it out?”
(this was DECADES before Google Translate or DuoLingo)
“I want to say ‘Get off your lazy ass and get back to work!’”
“Well, I don’t care WHAT the State Department says, you are now officially an American! Congratulations! Let me get you a flag!”
Cost PA a Senate seat too.
Hey Pete! Mark this NSFW (thumbnail) or I’ll have to remove it.
She was deeply unpopular before she took over. Even her own staff hated her.

I kept pointing this out before she was selected, but naturally nobody listened.
Same for every genre. For every Sonic or Mario there are 1,000 Bubsy’s.
Scene from “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”, which is just incredibly entertaining…
But get this… As completely, improbably, unbelievable as the events are, they’re based on a true story… AND… in the true story? Nobody got killed.
(Insert Guy Ritchie and Jerry Bruckheimer going “WHERE’S THE FUN IN THAT??!?!!”)
