I’m afraid of getting lost; no, I’m afraid of sinking into the city as in a quicksand, afraid of getting sucked into something I can never escape.

This scene never fails to crack me up!

VINCENT PRICE - HIS KIND OF WOMAN (1951)

Today's Problematic Ships are Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239

Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 are Russian-flagged oil tankers. Early on December 15, 2024, they were caught in a storm while transiting the Kerch strait between the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.

When a wave hit Volgoneft-212, the front fell off and 4000 tonnes of fuel oil spilled into sea. The tanker subsequently sank. It was apparently not built so that the front wouldn't fall, off the "centre [having been] cut out and the stern and bow [...] welded together, forming a huge seam in the middle". At least one crew member is reported to have died.

Volgoneft-239 ran aground in the same area; it is unclear how much if any oil was spilled from it. All members of its crew are reported safe.

The incidents with the Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 highlight the risks posed by the Russian shadow fleet, ships used by Russia to evade international sanctions on its oil and gas exports following its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. International observers ave accused Russia of using the shadow fleet to carry as much oil as possible no matter the consequences, these tankers not being as safe as others due to old age, poor maintenance, lack of insurance and classification, and unclear ownership.

At depths of around 50 feet (15 meters), humans experience negative buoyancy and start to sink. Freedivers use this point to "freefall," where they stop swimming and let gravity pull them deeper.

I really should

Oh I just love to use covert hypnosis when I talk with people, at least some of the time. I mean, just a seemingly regular conversation suddenly might turn the attention to the person I am talking with, you know how that is right? Then words like relax, sleepy, tired, focus.... so many others, "you love focusing on my words"

YES, I should definitely write about how covert hypnosis can just appear out of the blue or pink.... I love how sometimes just talking and the other person seems to fade out a bit, at least from a conversational standpoint. I think that is when they are ultra receptive to suggestions, however attractive they might seem, bordering on covert hypnotic addiction. Thinking they would love to do this again, or was that my suggestion to just want to try this another time too, deeper.

I love how some people seem to be drawn to the word covert somehow. What makes you think that's a nice gentle word? What is?

Did we talk about meditation, yet? Do you remember meditating? The feeling is amazing, isn't it?

Just look at her, while we remember how amazing it was the last time we talked. I know you don't recall everything but take my word, you felt amazingly refreshed. Am I right? Ohhhh did you want to try this again, soon? There is nothing you need to do, just sit there and listen like you did the last time, sit listen.. and feel sleepy.

The disappointment and sadness you feel……

The SS Cap Arcona and SS Wilhelm Gustloff. Probably the two worst maritime disasters in World War II, but no one ever talks about them. Here they are docked side by side.

Phoenix is sinking into the ground millimeter by millimeter, and researchers warn this gradual drop could lead to widespread infrastructure damage. A new study published in Nature Cities reveals Phoenix is sinking by 0.8 millimeters per year, with some areas dropping even faster at up to 2 centimeters annually. The research indicates this isn't just a Phoenix problem - almost every major city in the country is experiencing similar land subsidence.

Found an old vent piece as I’m organizing my external HD

You ever have dreams where your submerged under water but can breath? I do and I always enjoy them, feels safe and comfortable to just be submerged.
