I don't know why, but I get irrationally angry when people begin a sentence with 'ya'.

In this case they surveyed and recorded every victim location for the coroner, and for what was assumed would be a recovery effort, but it never happened. They just left them in there. The dive team were quite confident they could do it.

This is a saturation dive team exploring MS Estonia back in Winter 1994. Nothing graphic is shown (despite ~750 victims trapped in the hull) but it gives s great idea of the very difficult working conditions such teams face.

Penetration diving and victim recovery is extremely hazardous. I am quite surprised they didn't attempt to raise the wreck and work on the surface. Glad they got them all out, for all that.

The Linux kernel is 38 million LOC. #curl is 170K. The kernel is 223 times bigger.

The Linux kernel ships 60 CVEs per week, 3100 per year.

curl ships on average 13 CVEs per year, 3100/223 = 14

== Roughly the same CVE/line of code ratio.

59F this morning. Quite a nip to the air. I think it's an equal low for the meteorological record. I went away for two weeks leaving a garden I thought I'd have to comprehensively reseed in Autumn, and it looked like the jungle on return. The drought of June and July ending in dramatic fashion. I don't think we're quite caught up with rain totals yet. Back to some searing highs next week.

Level 1 charging is just a convenience provision. No modern large battery is practical at such a speed.
