True.
They asked again after it was found out a senior curator had been steeling and selling items from the museum.

The British Museum has long held that it is better equipped than other nations with less well-endowed institutions to safeguard historic artifacts

That's is fucked! A Brazilian travel vlogger was gang raped in India a couple of weeks ago:https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/three-men...0her%20husband.

Being South Asian myself.. India is a shithole country! Never been and have no desire to go there either. They are stuck in old times. Fuck your caste system and learn to be decent humans first. I feel so bad for the Brazilian lady who had to endure 2 hours of rape from those stinky no deodorant wearing fucking rejects.

It took me about 20 mins to figure out what you were talking about and then suddently it hit me! Did I not send you copies??

If not, I'll reach out to people who still work at my old job and see if they can dig those up!! I'm so sorry about that.

Haha as far as I recall, none of us ever got them

It was done at Continental Plaza here in Richmond IIRC. No biggie though, it was so long ago

I watched a video a while back where Chinese billionaires (which was highly implied to be CCP linked) were hiring professional thieves to "steal" back Chinese artifacts from European museums.

saw this covered on a podcast and they clipped several male politicians / of influence from the country commenting it was also the a women's fault, several used an analogy of "it takes 2 hands to clap", very unsettling.

So if I were to chop off these sympathizers' JJ, can I claim they are partly to blame as well bcos they need to "provide" me with their JJ for chopping?

Fernanda, 28, and her husband, Vicente, 63, claim they were attacked by a gang as they were setting up a makeshift tent while they stopped for the night in India's Jharkhand.

The couple appeared in court on Monday and were given £9,500 as compensation, The Telegraph reports.
This whole thing sounds weird. Why were they setting up a tent? and why would you get compensation?

This clarifies further. They couldn't find a hotel, so they were attempting to camp.

I don't understand how these travelers think it's safe to "camp" out in these villages. Similar thing happened to a woman in Morocco and South Africa.

Don't camp in villages in any of these types of places, shit you can run into these types of issues camping on beaches in many of these countries.

Horrible incident, but god damnit, don't randomly camp out in these countries, there is no security, and in these remote areas there is no one to help you if something arises.

I heard the ship lost propulsion in Baltimore ... takes these trucks hitting overpass bridges to a whole different level. Imagine driving over the bridge and it collapses ... you lost the lottery friend.

you can see the power aboard the boat switched on and off, but the thick black smoke coming out of it meant it was under power when it collided with the bridge.

The video that I saw, you see it lose power, then power comes back on with black smoke pouring out of stacks, then it loses power again, then hits bridge.

This is a pretty good video that captures the moment.

I suspect the police stopped cars on either side, but there wasn't enough time to evacuate the people on the bridge.

yah ... power on and off for a tanker prob means lost of control of ship for prob the last 10-20 mins. They don't turn on a dime ... not as if when power comes back on, it can avoid the pillar of bridge.

if this kinda shit happened in vancouver id quit my job for sure.

I will just go drive uber eats and eat all the food while delivering it. what you mean youre missing fried shrimps... nomnomnom i dont know what your nomnomonom talking about

P.s. its probably because the injectors failed and the engine stopped. All the steamship lines had to convert to this new ultra low sulfur bio diesel and the older engines do not run well with that stuff. I talked to a lot of captains who have had glitches, stalls, engine problems with this stuff.

Seems like tugs should have been guiding it there?

Pretty sure anything going under the lions gate is always guided?
