It rubs me wrong-enough, that some try to rename #Timmy the humpback #whale. Afaik, Timmy came 1st! Trying to retcon this into calling the whale #Hope feels like religious #SocialMedia #Influencer #Bullshit!
If only we had someone like #Spock, who could tell us how exactly the whale identifies himSELF. 🖖😉 ...maybe his actual name is Gerald, or Laxmi, or whatever.
I'm speed-running this #News5 stream, about half-way through; it's in German, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ6Tq4LMG9E

🧵 2/n this barge seems to be certified for a sea state (wave height) of up to 1 meter, so they're chickening out, because their insurance wouldn't cover any damages. For fox' sake! Those are safe engineering figures, with lots of included margins. ...can't you put a snorkel on your pump diesel? Terrestrial off-roaders do that all the time! 👀 img alt txt #Timmy #Whale
