I agree with the medical misogyny part but the hand washing nurses part is incorrect AFAIK. They weren’t washing their hands either but the doctors were working on cadavers and so more riddled with nasty bacteria.

Women giving birth in the street had higher survival rates than either of the two hospitals in question which is fucking wild.

Half arsed history does a really great episode on it. Episode 91. Highly recommended.

Even after Semmelweis forced everyone to wash their hands and proved how life saving it was, he got enormous pushback for the notion that doctors could be killing their patients. Arrogance costing lives.

Waiting for the Russia lovers to justify this…

Now I’ve watched the video, there is no ballast

He does end up adding ballast later. Added batteries, living stuff and about 150KG of rocks.

His takeaway was that it didn’t really affect cruising speed and that he should have made a sturdier, heavier bottom hull.

Edit: he’s in the process of turning it into a trimaran at the moment also for stability.

He gets into this in the later videos but he’s living aboard it quite a while now in the Mediterranean.

Very rough read but I started and was invested. Bastards didn’t reveal until very late that he’d been caught.

It’s a long and sad article. The tldr is that he was caught and is in prison. Vile human.

It’s cool. Loads of sunflowers have been planted to offset the carbon emissions.

That’s so cool! When I was a kid word got around that you could write to an embassy and ask them to send you stuff about their country and it would just magically show up in the post.

I wrote to loads but the coolest package to arrive was definitely from the Australian one which included a booklet that had some details on this race.

I’m more interested in the collective defence clause tbh. Bring them under that umbrella ASAP.

Roughly $10 USD equivalent in my country now. Bananas money.

Great pic. How’s the hangover? :D

You did a decent job. Tax is a huge part of the cost of fuel here so there’s room to cut it but there’s no doubt that price gouging is going on also.

Diesel is running about €2.20 a litre here now which is about $9.73 per gallon in US terms.

Maths was: 2.20 x 3.78 x 1.17

Damn. That is gaudy as all fuck.

Or, you know, a nation that was colonised.

Keep ignoring your death penalty for drugs offences cheering through any ridiculous argument you can drag out of your ass though. You’re nailing it.

Edit: and I just want to add … Blaming people for the sins of their forefathers is bullshit. So is the death penalty.

Absolutely false. Hilarious. To the very best of my knowledge my country has never attempted to colonise anywhere (edit: nor has it ever allowed slavery).

You keep digging that hilarious hole though. Grasp at those straws! Defend the death penalty for drugs offences! I’m sure your favourite authoritarian government loves you for it.

I think you’re mistaking me for someone Canadian or American or something.

I just don’t like the death penalty and there isn’t one where I live.

You keep defending that death penalty for drugs related crimes though because you don’t want to criticise your favourite authoritarian government.

I’m out now o/

Just listen to yourself defending the death penalty for your favourite authoritarian government. I’m rolling around here. Hahahaha.

There is no death penalty in Canada (edit : and hasn’t been for over 60 years). What a week assed argument. Hahaha.

You just keep licking those murderous boots. Slurp slurp.

The death penalty was ended in practice in Canada in January 1963 and was abolished in two stages, in 1976 and 1999.
