Staff at a Marine Research Center couldn't figure out why Tank 14's filtration kept failing every Monday. The system would be offline by morning, then somehow running again by noon. Security footage finally caught it.
A giant Pacific octopus named Hendrix had been unscrewing his own tank's outflow valve, squeezing through the gap into the maintenance corridor, and tightening a loose coupling on the neighboring seahorse exhibit - which had been leaking since 3 months. He did it six Mondays in a row.
Same sequence every time. The marine biologist who reviewed the footage said Hendrix had essentially taught himself basic plumbing.
They gave him a PVC puzzle toy as enrichment.
He disassembled it in nine minutes.
@RealRawNews1 For who? New Mexico is held is the grip of a Democrat governor that is raping us in gas prices. Not everyone is getting the benefit of low prices regardless of war or not.
@rattletrap1776 What gives y'all, it's always been the sky is falling with you guys. I've been listening to this crap for 3 years, and none of what anyone has ever said was going to happen has happened. Give it a rest already....
@MakisMD Please choose a state that is more centrally located within the US. There are people that literally cannot afford to travel all the way to Florida if they live in the western states. Make yourself easily accessible!
HOLY CRAP
The illegal alien truck driver who kiIIed 3 people, FAILED an English Language Assessment, getting only 2/12 answers right and identifying only 1/4 highway traffic signs.
It was also discovered that WA and CA issued Singh a commercial driver's license despite not being eligible for it.
Authorities in New Mexico also failed to issue ELP tests when Singh was stopped there for speeding..
New Mexico has been called "New Mexico" since 1598, when it was invaded by Spain.
The Spanish thought they'd find "7 Cities of Gold" here, to rival the Mexica Aztec Empire. That's what they named this place after, not after the modern nation of Mexico, which did not exist in 1598.
New Mexico became a province of New Spain in 1598 (for 267 years), then much *later* became, briefly, a state in the modern nation of Mexico with its founding in 1821 (for 25 years), then verrrry briefly tried valiantly to be its own nation, the Republic of Rio Grande, (for a few months in 1840), and finally ended up as a territory of the USA in 1848, and, in 1912, a US state (111 yrs total so far).
To recap:
Mexica, the Aztec Empire, came first, in the 1400s.
Nuevo Mexico came second, in 1598, named after Mexica Empire.
Mexico *the modern nation* came more than 200 years AFTER New Mexico existed, in 1821. It, like NM, was named after Mexica the Aztec Empire, but is 10x larger than the now-obsolete Aztec Empire and encompasses lands where hundreds of additional indigenous people and nations existed and exist.
I know. The word "new" makes it confusing. The "new" referred to what Spain hoped would be a new version of the Mexica Aztec Empire, not a new version of the modern nation of Mexico.
When local old-timers say they're "Spanish," it is not necessarily the "self-loathing Mexican" flex people who took, like, a semester of Chicano Studies think it is. For centuries, everyone here WAS told they were Spanish, in that they were subjects and citizens of New Spain, and this place was part of Spain 10x longer than it was Mexico, and 2x longer than it has been the United States.
This does not mean the people were all FROM the nation of Spain or of Spain, genetically, because that's not how colonization works. Most people here were and are indigenous - from hundreds of different local native groups.

A family member of mine is a nurse in Canada.
They performed several assisted dying procedures at the care home they worked at, before refusing to continue.
In one case, the family of a mentally disabled man decided they wanted him to be euthanised.
He didn’t want to die.
But my family member was legally forced to end his life.
They held his hand while he told them “I’m hungry” and “I’m thirsty”.
That poor man didn’t understand what was happening to him as he was pumped full of medication that would end his life, and my family member wept for the soul that was being lost unnecessarily.
He wasn’t terminally ill.
He wasn’t particularly old.
He wasn’t dying.
He didn’t want to die.
But he didn’t have a choice.
Because his life was deemed dispensable by his family, and the Government gave them the power to end his life regardless of his needs or wishes.
And when my family member told their workplace that they couldn’t continue performing these procedures — that their conscience wouldn’t allow it — they were told that it was their “legal duty” as a nurse.
They still refused.
But not everyone will have the moral fibre or bravery of my family member.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and this is exactly what the Assisted Dying Bill opens the door to.
It starts with “choice” and “dignity”.
But suicide isn’t only done “when the patient wants it”. And the countries where it is already legalised have shown us the grim reality.
In the Netherlands, 40% of euthanasia deaths occur without patient consent. In Canada, it has been offered to Paralympians who only asked for a mobility aid.
If it can happen there; it will happen here.
People 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 be killed against their will.
