Some second hand ships end up leading interesting second lives. Costa refit two container ships in the 1990's into cruise ships and they apparently didn't do terrible.

SinningStromgald, in The "Margaritaville" cruise ship is up for sale if anyone wants it.

Genuinely curious how much a branded cruise ship goes for.

TrueStoryBob,

Just like cars, it depends on age and condition. Usually tens of millions, but it’s all about how well the ship has held up, how many passengers it can accommodate, and if it has special features like being rated for ice.

…like being rated for ice

That might be a fun cruise. On an ice breaker through the arctic.

TrueStoryBob,

They have those!

cmbabul,

I feel like the real cost would be fueling, maintaining, and staffing it

I looked this up on Google and several sites say that you can tell what color eggs a hen will lay by looking at their earlobes… I didn’t even know chickens had earlobes lol

@comador@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not consistently true, Leghorns have yellow colored ears and lay white eggs, but yes, MOST eggs can be differentiated by their “lobes”.

wieson,

They’re from Araucana chicken from south America. Pretty cool if you ask me

Zoboomafoo,

I didn’t know Araucana was spelled that way, neat!

My family had a few when I was growing up, the eggs were delicious and they only chased me around the yard sometimes

Fermion, (edited )

Getting chased by an aggressive rooster is one of my earliest memories. I mostly just remember jurassic park levels of pure terror.

Now that I’m a large person, that perspective seems absurd, but chickens are very scary when you are small.

0ops,

I used to raise chickens when I was a kid and never got chased by a rooster for some reason, in fact usually it was the other way around. But my neighbors down the road had turkeys that they let roam free range around their property. I was a fucking short, scrawny little kid and they were almost as tall as me, and territorial af. At least a couple times I had to run for my life from those velociraptors just because I happened to turn a corner and bump into them while hanging out with that family. They’d just look at you, spread their tail feathers and start trotting at you making weird-ass noises. Fuckers are scary af

I always thought blue egg is rotten

QuarterSwede,
@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

The egg shell doesn’t really change color. I’ve had rotten eggs that had white shells. The hen layer determines the color of the egg.

Annoyed_Crabby, (edited )

My mistake, what i’ve seen is actually myna’s egg, which is blue.

Which is a TIL as well.

Dinty Moore still comes in cans … and is better than ever (esp. compared to most of today’s canned “food”.

Poor person responsible for counting this

HeapOfDogs, in Different Eggs

This feels more like mildly infuriating since the color gradient is just slightly off

@guy@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve seen many pretty small waterfalls though, how do you count this‽

I didn’t make this map so I have no idea, but the link from the image has citations for all the data sources.

MossyFeathers, in Number of natural waterfalls in each state

Hey west coast, quit hogging all the waterfalls! Especially California, y’all don’t have water, why are you wasting it on falls?

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Hahaha! California actually has lot of pretty tall mountains that get regular annual snowfall so I’m assuming that’s responsible for quite a few of them. Also, contrary to popular belief it DOES rain there occasionally (most during January and February), but when it does, it’s often heavy enough to cause flash flooding, especially in the desert. I’m wiling to bet most of the waterfalls there are probably seasonal.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, Northern CA’s climate is closer to Oregon’s and SoCal is more like Mexico. Or at least it’s supposed to be. Last year it dumped pretty hard from Dec to March in the Bay Area.

ggweather.com/sf/monthly.html

Gregorech,

Why you bugging California, when Washington state is obviously hoarding them?

Dudewitbow,

the water crisis is largely in chunk, due to the agriculture taking up like 95% of it, as california by far is the largest state in the U.S in terms of crop export and it happens to also be the one producing the most water intensive ones (alfalfa(used as food for cows internationally), several nuts and avocados)

RainfallSonata, in Number of natural waterfalls in each state

Those ranges are so wide as to be pretty useless.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Maybe that’s why there’s numbers on each state?

RainfallSonata,

Oh. Assumed those were abbreviated names.

mangaskahn,

Proud to be from the great state of 3i6nesota. You should come visit and explore our majestic waterfalls.

XeroxCool,

If could have used a few more colors for in-between ranges but I think as-is, it does a decent job of dividing the country evenly between the two blues in the middle.
