Has a baleen whale ever been kept in captivity for any length of time? If so was it successfully released or did it die?

there have been several instances of young baleen whales running afoul of something and being captured for rehabilitation, yes! they were mostly gray whales.

which makes sense, gray whales are slow enough to get caught in the first place and hardy enough to not immediately stress themselves to death over being poked and put in a tank (as long as hundreds of pounds of delicious shellfish are on offer, anyway)

none of them were ever kept very long, they were rehabilitated to a healthy weight and then released. (healthy weight for a juvenile gray whale is almost 20,000 lbs. BIG baby)

how many tons of cement would we need to fill in Silicon Valley, hypothetically speaking

[transhumanisticpanspermia]

enough that if you poured it all at once, the exothermic curing reaction would also succeed in melting it

[conceptblogfromaconcepthuman]

so we do it very slowly then

[transhumanisticpanspermia]

no, you misunderstand, that’s the point. if we pour it quickly, the core of the concrete mass will become molten, along with everything trapped within. we won’t just be burying silicon valley. we’ll be melting it. we will erase it from history, so no foolish future civilization will ever have to face the grim possibility of accidentally unearthing it.

tens of thousands of years from now, when the molten core of concrete, metal, glass, and horrible tech industry culture solidifies into an unrecognizable mass, we will be able to safely mine it to reclaim the metals, which will have conveniently sorted themselves by density.

extremely funny that Kel’s primary assessment of Baron George Cooper of Pirate’s Swoop is “not hot enough for the Lioness.” I disagree with her, but I do respect the opinion.

[tanoraqui]

she meets him a second time and has 0 further takes on him. When The Gang is sneaking into Scanra and Neal explains that he knew the smugglers because, “You meet the most interesting people, riding with the Lioness. They’re usually friends with her husband,” usually-astute Kel asks, “What does Lady Alanna know of spies?” and completely ignores his second sentence, despite someone else pointing it out to her and repeated allusions to “the Whisper Man.” Kel pov of the Lord & Lady of Pirate’s Swoop is truly like,

I don't believe in christian babies. I believe in babies, i believe in christians, but a baby doesn't have the agency and cognitive abilities required to chose and/or live a faith. There's babies of christian parents, of course, as well as babies that have been introduced into the system that is the christian church, but that does not make them christian yet.

Long story short, i did not hit a christian baby into the stratosphere, officer.

my mom just had a 7cm brain tumor removed and since she's woken up she's been talking nonstop about this dream she had about going to an art gallery full of colourful paintings by a 'homosexual artist' named klimsdorf who was ethereal and wise, both young and old... at first she was convinced he was a real person but after failing to find him online she's accepted he was a figment of her subconscious mind and is now determined to bring him to life via painting his portrait herself. she's 67 and has never drawn in her life. and now this. blorbo from her tumor

AITA for ruining a woman's chance at happiness to secure my marriage?

So basically I'm dating this guy, wonderful man, and I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing soon. We've been together for a few years now. Both of us have been married before, and sort of bonded over the grieving process after our spouses passed. Bf has children from previous marriage, I don't.

Anyways, he recently hired a new nanny, and almost as soon as I met her she gave me a weird vibe. She seems nice, and clearly likes the kids a lot, but I just had a feeling she was going beyond the scope of a nanny, you know? Well my suspicions were confirmed after I caught her and my bf flirting, *multiple times.*

I tried to go the easy way, letting them know subtly I'd picked up on it, so they'd knock it off. I was a little mad at my boyfriend, because who risks a years-long, committed, engagement stage relationship for a passing flirtation??? But mostly I felt like the nanny was using her relationship with bf's children to get closer to him, which felt really manipulative. And I know she has a kind of unusual background, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was clinging to bf and his children as a substitute family, but still- that doesn't excuse butting in and sabotaging someone else's relationship!!!

One night after a party (which my boyfriend was supposed to be throwing *for me*) I caught them dancing, like really close, and just had enough. I called them both out on it. Nanny seemed kind of flustered so I cornered her later and basically just told her I thought she was stringing my bf along, trying to make her feel ashamed so she'd back off. I guilt tripped her pretty hard, and she ended up quitting her job that night.

At first I was happy, because I could finally get my life and my relationship back on track. But it honestly hasn't worked out the way I thought it would. Bf's kids just keep asking why their nanny quit and I feel like my bf knows I had something to do with it and holds it against me. On top of that I heard the nanny went to live with some kind of religious organization after she quit? Like she's not speaking to anyone and just lives at the compound of this church? And this group doesn't let you date anyone, has strict rules about what you can wear and do, very controlling.... I know I was just defending my relationship, and I don't think I was in the wrong for that, but I feel like she'll never recover from this and might not ever be happy. And everyone in the house, especially the kids, just keep talking about her and I'm starting to feel really guilty. Bf hasn't brought up marriage again since she left.

Edit: After some thinking and the helpful advice of some of you in the comments, I decided to focus on bf and see if he was still hung up on her, or if there was still a chance for our relationship to progress. Well, you guys were right. He basically admitted he didn't love me anymore and hinted it was because of his feelings for the nanny. So. There's a few years of my life wasted I guess. At least I don't have to worry about ruining her life anymore, she got what she wanted in the end!

Edit 2: Ex-bf and nanny are now married and they and the kids are on the run from the government??? Feeling like I maybe dodged a bullet here....
