Salvage was undertaken in several stages. Patches had to be placed on holes in the hull by divers. These patches were made as cofferdams, which were large wooden structures braced with steel and attached to the ship by divers. Special concrete that would harden in water was then poured into sections around the cofferdams, sealing the bottoms and making them watertight. With the major holes patched, 800,000 gallons of fuel oil, all projectiles and other supplies were removed from the ship to reduce weight. As water was pumped out of the ship, salvage crews began to work through compartments, removing the remains of 66 trapped sailors. Marks on a bulkhead in one compartment indicated three sailors survived there for 16 days. With access to food and water, they held on until the breathable air ran out.

Huitlacoche is the Native American name for the mushroom-like masses found on the ears of corn and corn relatives (collectively called teosinte). Huitlacoche can be a major problem for sweet corn growers where it is referred to as common corn smut (see University of Wisconsin Garden Facts XHT1221 “Common Corn Smut”), causing yield and quality losses. However, huitlacoche is also considered a culinary delicacy in many cultures. In Mexico, huitlacoche is considered a gift from the gods, and is commercially available in many markets. In the United States, huitlacoche is less common commercially, but can be found in the ethnic sections of some grocery stores.

In the Aztec religion, Tezcatlipoca was an important god. He was involved in the earth’s creation, commanded jaguars, oversaw sacrifices, and presided over the night sky.

Sometimes he was shown as a partner in creation, but more often he was shown as a god of judgment and destruction. According to Aztec cosmology, he had been responsible for destroying the world four times before the current age of mankind began.

I wonder if a trans-xxx is capable of such an achievement.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Desmond Thomas Doss (February 7, 1919 – March 23, 2006) was a United States Army corporal who served as a combat medic with an infantry company in World War II. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions in Guam and the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving 75 men, becoming the only conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the war. His life has been the subject of books, the documentary The Conscientious Objector, and the 2016 Oscar-winning film Hacksaw Ridge, where he was portrayed by Andrew Garfield.
