I can’t understand how kindles are popular when there’s a plethora of ebook readers without the locked down DRM.

I suppose not. His expeditions to the Antarctic failed their objectives. His business ventures were never successful. And he died in debt.

BUT. He successfully sailed one of the greatest and most perilous ocean journeys ever in recorded history, and rescued every member of his 28-man crew from certain death.

Funny in a cruel way. The world basically forgot about the voyage of the James Caird shortly after he returned home, since WWI had broken out during his time in Antarctica. He wasn't adequately recognized in his lifetime. I think he was one of humanity's finest.

It’s incredible feat of human survival. For all 28 men to survive the ordeal, is nothing short of fantastic. For months they were camped on floating sea ice, and then to tack on a 800 mile journey through open, stormy sea in a battered whaling boat, and finally a trek through the interior of a mountainous island to reach a whaling port and rescue, is incredible to say the least. I’d highly encourage people to read his own memoir of it.

How did your daughter only end up with 1 cousin from your 11 siblings? That's a catastrophically low TFR.

Few scenarios, could be that they are the oldest and the rest of their siblings aren’t ready to have a family.

Flagged for being biased and not presenting the whole picture.
