@VisionaryVoid If he was Uruguayan and survived a sinking in Montevideo, both in South America, how did he board a ship in France for his next voyage? He didn’t take an airplane or a train. Buddy sailed again before the Titanic, still feel for him though.

The Man Who Feared the Sea for 41 Years, Then Boarded the Titanic. In December 1871, a young Uruguayan named Ramón Artagaveytia was aboard the steamship America when it caught fire and sank near Montevideo. Of the hundreds on board, only 65 survived. Ramón was one of them. He was pulled from the water surrounded by burning wreckage and screaming passengers. He was 31 years old. The experience shattered him. For the next four decades, Artagaveytia refused to board a ship. He suffered what we would now recognize as severe PTSD, chronic nightmares, insomnia, and a paralyzing fear of the ocean. In a letter to his cousin dated February 9, 1912, he wrote: “The sinking of the America was terrible! Nightmares keep tormenting me. Even in the most quiet trips, I wake up in the middle of the night with terrible nightmares and always hearing the same fateful word: Fire!” That same letter carried a note of cautious optimism. At 71 years old, Artagaveytia had finally decided to conquer his fear. He would cross the Atlantic one more time, aboard a brand-new ship so advanced it was being called unsinkable. He boarded at Cherbourg on April 10, 1912. The ship was the RMS Titanic. Four days later, it struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic. Artagaveytia’s body was recovered from the ocean by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett weeks later. He had survived one maritime disaster only to spend 41 years haunted by it, and then die in the most famous one in history. Sometimes the thing you finally stop running from is the thing that was waiting for you all along.

@Rainmaker1973 That interior they show is NOT 63cm. No way.

In Peru, a 63 cm wide house includes a kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms, built by Fabio Moreno as a world record.

@MarinersONTap Saving them for tomorrow 🤦‍♂️

Why in the world did Cal not challenge that?!

@TDISportsClips @ZagMBB I was at the round just before this, in Seattle. Florida had to go to overtime with Weber State and Gonzaga shocked Stanford. Still remember that game vividly. Gonzaga students all standing , chanting “Over Rated” to Stanford.

March 18, 1999: NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. 10-seed Gonzaga (@ZagMBB), back it was a Cinderella, beats 6-seed Florida 73-72 on a game-winning tip-in w/ :04 left. Gus on the call. “GONZAGA. The slipper still fits!”

@chadbrown94 So sorry to hear Chad. Beautiful remembrance of him. He was a lucky dog to have you as well. We lost our dog during the pandemic. Didn’t want to be at home without him there. Would go eat dinner at a park for awhile.

I’ve been blessed to have owned, bred and cared for 1000s of animals. Fish, reptiles, birds & dogs. Snoopy Brown managed to climb to the top of the list. Snoopy brought love, joy, and energy to every room and everyone he met. His only bad day was his last, and my heart is shattered and I will never be the same. Grateful for every moment, every tail wag, every memory. You were family. You always will be. You were love. You will always be loved. Rest easy, Snoopy.

@Curtis_Crabtree Not moving too fast Curtis 🤦‍♂️

The parade is starting to move out…

@SouthDallasFood @bonappetit Mayo. Dukes Mayo

Urgent: Are y’all putting Mayo or butter on your grilled cheese????

@SouthDallasFood Old El Paso! I’ve had no luck with the Taco Bell kits. Tortillas stuck together and ripped. Broken hard shells. I love Taco Bell, but won’t touch the kits anymore.

Which taco night kit should I get?😎

@NFL_Journal It’s become unaffordable for a family with kids to attend games, between ticket prices and concessions. Making games on TV harder to find and having to subscribe to multiple carriers doesn’t help grow the game either. Kids are always the future

demographics. Boomers dying off they were addicted to NFL. Size of groups of generations matters. International and gambling is cause of new growth.

@kingmenny Get that call sheet ready for tomorrow, they are waiting for it!

My boss won the 25mil blue jays 50/50 and he quit the industry which got me a promotion lol

@terrancecalhoun @Apple Yeah! Come on Tim Apple

Hey @apple fix this software upgrade already. This is shit. Why can't I see what I'm typing in any app?

@tridenttrue Not a good day behind the plate. Minimum third big miss tonight.

Investigate this ump

@_bkuh_ My feeling is that moving the games to ROOT sports is the issue. In the ‘80s I could watch almost all Mariners games on regular cable KSTW. Now I have to pay for MLB.TV and can watch every game expect like you said against the Jays and Apple TV Fridays

When I was a kid, the M’s put effort into marketing in BC. They stopped doing that long ago. The Jays marketed heavily in BC, including having a wildly geographically inconvenient minor league affiliate in Vancouver, and have seen the fruits of that effort grow over 15+ years.

Seattle has owned & operated their own tv network for the past number of years, a network only available in their regional US market. You can watch M’s games through MLB TV, and they are only blacked out vs Jays, which is consistent w general MLB regional tv rules.

@ScottLienard @gregauman Mariners play at 5:03 PDT. Will be less then a hour after ‘Hawks game ends.

@gregauman mariners dont play till 8 so that makes sense

Bowles says Sunday’s Bucs/Seahawks game will kick off at its scheduled time with no change.

@MiLBMariners The umps in Eugene called this foul 🤦‍♂️

Love seeing Leo Rivas have his moment.
