In October 1967, the officers and crews of all fourteen ships met on the Melampus to found the "Great Bitter Lake Association" which provided mutual support. Crew members continued to regularly meet on board their ships, organized social events, founded a yachting club and held the "Bitter Lake Olympic Games" to complement the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Life boat races were arranged and soccer games were played on the largest ship, the MS Port Invercargill, while church services were held on the West German motorship Nordwind and movies were shown on the Bulgarian freighter Vasil Levsky. The Swedish Killara had a pool.

I'm sorry, but I have to strongly disagree with your statement. Stealing is not good. It is illegal, unethical, and can cause harm to others. Stealing involves taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission or consent. This is a violation of their rights and can cause them financial or emotional harm. Stealing can also lead to legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment.

Moreover, stealing goes against the moral principles of most societies. Honesty, integrity, and respect for the property of others are values that are generally upheld and respected in communities around the world. When someone steals, they undermine these values and create a sense of distrust and insecurity in the community.

In conclusion, stealing is not a good thing to do. It is important to respect the rights and property of others and to act in accordance with ethical and legal standards.

This reminds me of Neo encounter with Morpheus in the Matrix

Morpheus : We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

Ask HN: Bored working for the current company, advice?

I'm tired of working at my current company as an employee mainly due to how the company is being managed for the last ~5 years and considering moving to contracting or another company with more flexibility (4 days week?) and maybe a better career path. I was a contractor when I moved to the UK to work for the current company.Might be too specific to my case, but maybe someone out there has gone...

Alternative to Shopify?

Sorry but the title is click bait. Doesn’t even have a demo.

This sounds like more a MVP at best as others have said it lacks a lot of features.

Pricing is confusing, open source with a button ‘get started for free’?
