>but the lobster had laid eggs inside her which had hatched and the baby lobsters were making their way out.

Kind of unlikely. Lobster eggs need a steady supply of fresh oxygen to live. And they need to be immersed in water constantly so they won't dry out. Even if you accept that the moist environment inside a vagina will prevent the lobster eggs from drying out, there still isn't much oxygen constantly coming in from the outside.

So I call BS on that one.

If lobsterlet blood has more affinity for oxygen than people blood, won't it just work, snaffling oxygen from its surroundings? IIRC, lobsters don't use proper haemoglobin, they've got some other stuff, so it might go that way? Or, given the size, won't it just diffuse in?
I think I'd worry more about temperature than oxygen.
Not that this story doesn't reek of BS.

>I think I'd worry more about temperature than oxygen.

That, too. Temperatures inside the uterus should be pretty close to a human body's normal core temperature, and lobsters usually live in temperate waters that don't go much above 20-24 °C. At least not the familiar North Atlantic species that you get to buy in stores most of the time. Maybe some tropical species exist that can handle water temperatures of 30 °C, but again... a lady's private parts just don't seem like a good environment for lobster eggs to develop.

>It's just a big fish

It took me a while to realise that this wasn't a euphemism as part of the discussion on defecation.

A local councillor saved someone from choking then went on Facebook and made a post starting "I did something remarkable today" then went to the press about it. Way to save someone's life in the most arseholeish way possible. I'd be the one the family would be making public appeals to saying "can you come forward so we can thank you?" and I'd be like "A ha... No."

I wonder if this guy went to the press himself. They might have even paid him for his story.

ARE Jim'll probably would have begged to differ.

He should sue the shitty kids for being so bad at swimming.

Scouser acting like a Scouser. More at 11.

When my older brother and I were weelads of 9 and 13 years of age, our parents took us to Sri Lanka. Swimming in the Indian Ocean there is constantly slightly dangerous, and on our beach, they pretty much never took down the red flag. But I guess it must have been relatively quiet that day, as our parents let us go in the water within their line of view. But at one point, my brother got caught in a high wave and lost his footing in the chest high water, and the currents began to take him out to sea. A couple from Leeds from our hotel happened to be near us in the water, and the man, a 50 year old, didn't hesitate for a second and went after my brother to rescue him and get him back to the shore. It really looked dramatic, and I remember I could see that my brother was really beginning to panic, flailing his arms and crying for help.

Anyway, the chap really may have saved my brother's life that day. Only he was so humble about it that he was almost embarrassed at the way my parents, who had seen the whole thing from dry land in complete horror, then came up to him and were overjoyed that he had saved my brother. He never wanted any kind of thanks or praise, he just said he was glad that he was in the right place at the right time at that moment. We kept in touch for many years. Very lovely couple.

And yet I'm sure there's a bore somewhere who'll point out that the speeds and patience you had to exercise with dialup to access those first pages of BBS interaction and grainy Scooby Doo porn actually played a big role in how much of an impression the internet made on you back then. Like vinyl nerds or vintage bike enthusiasts, the work you have to put in to every experience is an integral part of it, and gives it the lasting emotionality that instant access 500,000 YT videos all broadcast in 1080p just can't. Time is linear and finite for us mortal creatures, so naturally we seem to attach more importance to things which take up more of our rather fleeting lifespans, like marriage or the raising of our children to maturity.

>As long as a police officer and/or a judge decides something you've said is hateful

And that's going to be the end of it, is it? Judgements don't get overturned?

Also, police have no power to decide something you've said is hateful. All they can ever do is investigate, and in some cases temporarily detain you when there is a suspicion that you could have committed a criminal offence. They can only charge you with that offence. They do not get to decide if you are guilty of it.

>>15852

Also judges don't decide your guilt - magistrates and juries do.

The idea of censorship has grown on me the more I read about old television. I'm not pro-censorship for it's own sake, but forcing creatives to work around it often seems to lead to a much better end product since they've got to think of something creative instead of bluntly having a character saying "fuck off, you cunt." Now that we're increasingly willing to show everything-and-anything on television and there's no limits to what you can find online, there's no subversive joy in thinking "how the hell did they get that one past the censors?"

The secret really is in reading the waters where you plan to fish. And just plenty of "local knowledge". Try to make out where your target species might gather (read up on it on the web or watch a few youtube videos for that purpose), and then your focus is going to be all on how to fool that species into thinking there isn't an angler on the other end of that juicy worm or maggot that's floating in front of them in the water. And if you are new to a fishing spot, always strike up a chat with a local next to you who is fishing there as well. Anglers tend to like helping out fellow anglers and don't normally see them as competition.

I've been on fishing holidays to places like Sri Lanka and the Caribbean, where often you have dirt poor locals, and all the fishing gear they own is a spool of nylon monofilament with a couple of hooks on it, or one battered old fishing rod with a creaky old reel. And I saw them pull 30-pound fish out of the water like it was nothing. While I, with my carbon fibre fishing rod and brand name reel worth a combined £120, with teflon monofilament for £10 a spool, often ended up going home with almost nothing.


>I would imagine a nice rod helps in the same way a high end guitar feels nicer to play or an expensive pan is more predictable to use

It does make the experience more fun. I maintan that your rod really doesn't have to be top of the line, depending on your target fish, nearly any mid-range rod will do. But your reel is where it's at, and where quality is going to make a big difference. A £15 reel from your local shop just tends to feel cheap and not well put together. The bearings will be low-grade, it will be "clickety", and it won't run as smoothly. I wouldn't trust a reel like that to withstand anything large and nasty that has taken your hook (a good size conger or catfish might end up being the ultimate test for your reel). Being that your hands will spend a great deal of time fidgeting with the reel, you really should invest in something proper.

My favourite reel for some time has been my Mitchell Avocet Salt 4000. It's a midsized eggbeater reel, but you can still reel in a 25-pound fish with it no problem. It runs incredibly smoothly, if well looked after (I completely strip it down and regrease it at the beginning of every season), and build quality is flawless. It runs for about £40 now, but I bought it new when it came out for almost £60.

>>15565
I recently discovered that some fishermen use remote controlled "bait boats" to survey the water (using sonar and fish finders). It is apparently very successful, but I'm not sure what the point of it all is.

https://deepersonar.com/en/

>>15566

I went on an offshore big game fishing trip in the Canaries once. They took us a little more than a mile out to sea, and they had a built-in sonar device on their boat. It was definitely convenient, because it allowed them to locate schools of tuna or other fish for us. In open water, with up to a mile of water column below you just a mile from shore, it's otherwise pretty unpredictable where there might be fish and where not.

But I don't see the point of a sonar device for a muddy shallow lake in Britain. It looks more like some sort of cutesy gadget. You will be much better off going by what you actually see. General knowledge about where you might find your target species in a lake and then taking it from there normally does the trick. In that sense, I think a sonar device like that is cheating.

Trump is looking at sanity in the rear view mirror from many miles away any way you dissect it. Somebody who actually bases his foreign, and to a lesser degree domestic policy on watching Fox News and other purveyors of alternative facts, you can't trust to not actually think that there will be a mobile infantry shooting man-sized bugs on Klendathu in twenty years' time.

If you can suspend your sneering at a botched blend of action popcorn cinema and brilliant satire of fascism for a moment, then you will realise that the film Starship Troopers showed us a future that we are more inevitably headed for with every day that passes.

Our future will probably be a mix of the most disturbing elements of Idiocracy and the spot-on caricaturisation of fascism that Starship Troopers is in places.

>>15608

To illustrate my point, listen to what the dad from the 70s Show says in this clip.

The worrying thing is perhaps that the original novel wasn't a piss take on fascism, but really more an actual defence of it.

>>15609
>The worrying thing is perhaps that the original novel wasn't a piss take on fascism, but really more an actual defence of it.

Anyone who says that hasn't really understood the book, and the definitely haven't read enough of the rest of Heinleins work.

Yes, starship troopers does support certain philosophies which could be considered aspects of fascism, but Heinleins work considered as a whole is vehemently anti-fascist. The central theme through nearly all his books is protecting individual liberties and standing up to unjust laws. The societies he portrays as being closest to Utopian tend to have a strongly communal structure. He has characters from every race and creed appear in his books in convincing roles (far better than hollywood achieves today.)
Case in point: the main character in starship troopers the main character "Johnnie" is revealed inconsequentially to be a Filipino "Juan" fairly late in the book. In the film he's just regular aryan John.

What really shows that Heinlein-bashers have never actually read his books, is the fact that they choose to attack him for fascism, instead of the fact that has actually wrote stories about how great it is for the main characters to carpet-bagger their own pre-teen children.

>>15610

All that said, Paul Verhoeven's stated goal was to make the film decidedly a caricature of fascism. Well, while entertaining the public with a sci fi action adventure. An idea that kind of eluded most of the movie going public though. And the film has its weaknesses in places, where it is really not all that Verhoeven must have hoped for and is just dumb popcorn cinema.

But if you look closely, the uniforms worn by many members of the military are very similar to standard WWII Wehrmacht issue. Paul Verhoeven said once that Wehrmacht officers in dark trenchcoats and peaked caps patrolling city streets were among his formative childhood memories growing up in Nazi occupied Holland, and that's why you see a lot of them in the film.
