Final view from the balcony in Hong Kong. Sunset across the water. #Cruise2025

@bmacDonald94 good luck. 😃

Well that was a total stuff up by cunard. Have two different times for the train excursion and not telling you which is the right one. Had 9:15 am on the ticket and 8:15 am hidden away in the daily program!!!

Seems the later one was when the bus left the dock where the tender pulled in, but of course there was nothing to show that's what it was! #Cruise2025

Aft well deck in place on Titanic. It is a tight fit and an overall view of the ship. #MakersHour #TitanicProject

@si_irini @mina @HistoPol @2ndStar @SilviaMarton it will be interesting to see how this robot develops as it has a biomimetic computer system which supposedly can learn new things. Another version of AI. 🤔

Interesting I never knew this. Now I feel differently about them.

“My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before.”

“We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries.

Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash.

Literally, we threw them away.

Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people.

That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests.

But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes.

They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”

@bmacDonald94 love that song. 😃

Do not go gentle into that good night - Dylan Thomas 1914 - 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

@si_irini @HistoPol @MaJ1 @GreenFire @mattotcha @mina @energiepirat @2ndStar @evelynefoerster @SilviaMarton @VeroniqueB99 @forthy42 I probably have a lot more unread books and they will be read one day...

What is success?

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
