@LaMarghe Not sure about the name, but a real Surf Punk slogan like "My Beach, My Wave" seems appropriate.

@LaMarghe I'd never seen how kiwis were grown before -- wouldn't even have been able to recognize the plant without being told -- but it does appear there'll be a lot of them.

Well, that was fun.

@LaMarghe I'm no expert (and didn't check link, as Bloomberg is usually paywalled) but I did find this:

"Government and utility officials say the wastewater… must be removed to prevent any accidental leaks…. They say ---> the treated but still slightly radioactive water will be diluted to levels safer than international standards and will be released gradually into the ocean over decades <---, making it harmless to people and marine life."

@jjmacnab I've blocked or clicked "not interested" on a lot of those already. Any of the ads which are just [picture of something no one needs], "Get it here", and a link -- those get nuked.

@LaMarghe I might watch, but mostly I vote for locking the cage and not opening it until they've either starved to death or devoured each other.

@LaMarghe First thought, on seeing pic of server: "That looks like a NeXT." And of course it is.

Great stuff.

@Stonekettle But now they can buy a beer cosy from Governor Huckleberry to cover up the "woke" label on their favorite AB canned beverage, so they don't even have to boycott anymore.

But Tuckyo's quitting anyway? That's a win.

@jjmacnab 49 Palms?

@LaMarghe While nearly anything appearing in GFR is automatically to be regarded with skepticism, this Florida story doesn't require a lot of imagination to be believable.
