Sharks Wash Up on Beaches, Stabbed by Swordfish

Quote:

The first victim washed up in September 2016. The police in Valencia, Spain, saw a blue shark dying in the surf along a tiny stretch of beach. They lugged the eight-foot corpse to the yard behind the police station. Then they called Jaime Penadés-Suay, who soon suspected foul play.

The shark had what looked like a bit of wood embedded in her head. He pulled. Out slid a broken fragment from a swordfish sword that had lanced straight through her brain.

“I thought it was crazy,” said Mr. Penadés-Suay, a graduate student at the University of Valencia and a founder of LAMNA, a Spanish consortium that studies sharks. “I was never sure if this was some kind of joke.”

But since then at least six more sharks have washed up on Mediterranean coasts, each impaled with the same murder weapon, and almost always in the head. In the latest example, an adult 15-foot thresher shark — itself equipped with a whiplike tail capable of stunning blows — washed up in Libya. Inside was a foot of swordfish sword that had broken off near its heart.

Quote:

Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer living in San Francisco, has two guesses left to figure out a password that is worth, as of this week, about $220 million.

The password will let him unlock a small hard drive, known as an IronKey, which contains the private keys to a digital wallet that holds 7,002 Bitcoin. While the price of Bitcoin dropped sharply on Monday, it is still up more than 50 percent from just a month ago when it passed its previous all-time high around $20,000.

The problem is that Mr. Thomas years ago lost the paper where he wrote down the password for his IronKey, which gives users 10 guesses before it seizes up and encrypts its contents forever. He has since tried eight of his most commonly used password formulations — to no avail.

“I would just lay in bed and think about it,” Mr. Thomas said. “Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldn’t work, and I would be desperate again.”

In other moms of high school girls news,

Florida assistant principal, daughter arrested in homecoming scandal

I have questions.

Did Mom actually give the daughter the password for the internal system or did Mom just save the password on her browser which allowed the daughter to take advantage?

They had to use this access for more than just stuffing the homecoming queen box, right?

This only became a problem for the nine students and one teacher when she used the system to stuff the ballot box?

As much as I would be amused by the pettiness, is it really necessary to charge the daughter as an adult?

Ksyrup 03-23-2021 10:20 AM

I think the issue is that this gave both of them access to social security numbers and such, which makes it a far more serious offense (not that it appears they used that sensitive info). But the girl was also telling people she could find their grades or mess with their information as some sort of threats, it sounded like to me. Also, her comments to others suggests mom gave her that info, she didn't find it herself.

What's crazy about that story is - if you entertain the idea of doing something like this, why would you risk it for something as inconsequential as homecoming queen? At least the Varsity Blues scandal people were getting something of real, tangible value out of that scam if it worked.

Prioritizing homecoming queen to that degree is probably more damning than the criminal charges, tbh.

This ship hasn't moved in 5+ days. I wondered why they haven't used sky crane helicopters to remove some of the containers?

It's because a fully loaded 40-ft container weighs up to 67,000 pounds. The Russian Mil Mi-26, the most powerful mass-produced helicopter in the world can lift only 44,000 lbs. The US Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion can lift 36,000 lbs.

But perhaps some of the containers on the top layer are the lightest ones on the ship, full of rice cakes and cheese puffs, or cotton balls and Kleenex? :popcorn:

If someone said, "ya, if I come across a doll in your house, and I'm feeling frisky, sure, I'll go to town, I don't care where I am", you'd have to give him points for honesty. He probably would be less likely to steal anything.
