Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., operating Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands, has unveiled the design of the new and dedicated Norwegian Cruise Line terminal at PortMiami (PortMiami has been the company’s home since its launch in 1966). Pending final approval by the Miami-D... |
“Guests’ cruise experience,” said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., during yesterday’s press conference to announce the news, “will begin when they arrive at this state-of-the-art terminal in PortMiami.” |
“Norwegian has been sailing from Miami for over 50 years, longer than any other cruise line, and we are honored to be partnering with PortMiami and Miami-Dade County to construct an iconic terminal that will contribute to Miami’s world-famous skyline and strengthen its position as the Cruise Capital of the World,” he c... |
The modern terminal draws its inspiration from a nautilus, with its spiraled and multi-level facade, opening up to grand ocean views. At nearly 166,500 sq. ft., the terminal will accommodate ships of up to 5,000 passengers, and feature new technology to support faster and more efficient embarkation and disembarkation p... |
Additionally, the terminal is being constructed to LEED Silver standards, focusing on innovation in design and terminal operation to create a platform that will optimize energy performance, indoor air quality, water efficiencies and maximize the use of local materials and resources. |

How long did it take Sylvester Stallone to write the "Rocky" script? How many bones are babies born with? The answers to such questions can be found at the Grill, in Matamoras, Pa., every Tuesday at Trivia Night. |
Starting at 8:30 p.m. and ending around 11:15, the trivia contest consists of six rounds of categories that cover all areas of knowledge. |
"People get so quiet when writing down answers," Ohocinski said. "It's almost like a library. Nobody's really talking all that much. They want to win." |
But he's also quick to point out the relaxed and jovial atmosphere. "The best part (of the evening) is having a laugh and joking around with everybody," he said. |
Teams with a maximum of four players compete for prizes such as hats, glasses and T-shirts. The grand prize for the night is given to the team that amasses the most cumulative points. Often, grand-prize winners receive four tickets to Majestic Cinemas in Matamoras. |
Kelly Reilly, a Port Jervis resident, enjoys attending Trivia Night and "getting together with friends." Her teammate Stephen Trovei, also of Port Jervis, appreciates being able to "utilize knowledge that's not needed anywhere else." |
Reilly and Trovei's team, "The Argyle Avengers," uses such knowledge consistently, scoring well week-to-week. |
"No matter how bad you do, it's still a good time," said another regular, Lauren Petry of Sparrowbush. |
Petry and teammate Jason Flores make it a priority to compete each week. "We don't miss Tuesday Night Trivia," Petry said. |
Ohocinski said questions include a mix of sound clips and handout sheets with pictures. Some of the material is supplied by independent companies, he said. Other trivia tidbits, he researches himself. |
Unlike karaoke, participants in Trivia Night don't have to perform on the spot, Ohocinski said. "In this game, you can just sit down, relax, and write down your answers." |
"What's not to love?" said Trivia Night regular Craig O. of Sparrowbush. "It's like 'Jeopardy!' with beer." |
Babies are born with 300 bones, 94 more than an adult. (The bones fuse together as the body matures.) |

Worst thing about Primitive Technology's videos is that you have to wait another month for a new one |
I can't get P2P, I think about the information, and torrenting in my sleep, and possibly the complications, |
Don't even get me started on when it starts to rain! Your fire is put out and you have to restart it all over again which is such a hassle. |
But come on, it's the ONLY bad thing about them. Otherwise they're perfect. No annoying voiceovers, no annoying music, just the dude doing what the video says he's gonna do. |
that just made me consider how ridiculous it is. if we went back in time, people would throw money at us for showing them advanced shit they haven't figured out yet. in modern times, with people that engineer bridges and software and shit, we throw money at people to show us how to do the absolute basics |
Sometimes people throw money at people who figure out ways of showing people things people haven't figured out yet! |
Somewhere in the back of your mind there is a voice yelling at you as if from a shore of some island masked by a fog. Occasionally you can make out a few words here and there when the noise of modern life, like angry waves crashing onto a shore, has subsided. It's explaining how the life you live now, while more or les... |
That is why these videos are so fascinating. They are tangible skills with value. Yet, modern civilization devalues them. If we were thrust into a life without modern conveniences, without electricity, without the structured regime of an economy that tells you when to wake up, when to work, when to go to sleep, then th... |
I throw money on strippers for absolute basics how is this any different? We love seeing basic things, sure we might be able todo it ourself but what's better then sitting in a couch and throw money at others doing it for you? |
He is already checking in at 17k per year assuming he makes 1 video per month. A good start, I hope he can swing the full time career off this, genuinely interesting stuff he does. |
To be fair a good majority of those had to do with building large structures and huts. If he sticks to doing simple things like this for a while he could gain the following he needs to do YouTube full time |
I think big stuff was really cool. If he has another big stuff in his mind then I guess he might need some companion. But it can be hard for him to find a person who is interested in this stuff. |
His tiled roof video is something else entirely. I wish I had a fraction of passion for anything as he his with this. The patience required is impressive alone. |
I imagine it takes him so long to plan this stuff out then execute it. I'm surprised they're monthly |
He still has a job and in the description, he says it took him a few days to do. Dude is probably giving up most of his weekends to make these videos. |
He said in a previous video where he made a bow and arrows that each arrow took over an hour to make (made probably 8 of them) once he got the hang of it and the bow itself took 8 hours if I recall. |
The guy probably has a job and a life outside of making videos. I think they should put him on Discovery or a similar channel. I would much rather watch him make shit and hunt/fish than to see blurred out, naked people killing time in the woods. |
No TV, please. It'd ruin his whole thing, since he doesn't talk or play music or do anything other than what the title says. Aside from that, it's nice to watch a twenty minute video, uninterrupted, instead of with four or five ad breaks to fill up a thirty minute time slot. |
He's said in a description to one of his videos that he does this as a hobby and that he does have a normal job. Seems like some dude who just likes to mess around in the woods who has a camera doing what he loves and sharing it with the world. |
Basically Minecraft: Hardcore RL mode. Oh man, I feel kinda pathetic using the Minecraft analogy but it's honestly as close as I got in the past 10 years. In fact 10 year old me probably got further. I put sticks in the ground as a kid! |
Too much to condense into a short post. He's an oldschool YouTuber who built giant robots in the woods of VT, cabins in the wilderness, crazy dream houses, etc. He sold his life and moved his family to Panama, bought islands and stuff. Now he's building a castle, a fleet of boats, and a village. |
I'll link a video which kinda explains everything anyway. He made a supercut of old videos after some of his viewers finally convinced him to set up a Patreon account. |
Right? I don't even feel right linking his videos without explaining that eveything you see in each frame is something he's build from the ground up. |
He's just building an island fortress in Panama, dude. Haven't you ever seen a guy build an island fortress in Panama before? Sheesh. |
The crazy part is that I never really knew or cared to know how looms work, but I think I have a pretty good idea now. |
I missed the epiphany because I couldn't stop thinking about the part where he tears the bark from the tree with his foot. |
There's not a more perfect description than "Bitch feet" to describe our tender, frail, copy paper grabbing foot lining.. |
"What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals." --Shakespeare |
One day, he'll fulfill his dream of creating a wearable shirt. Until then, all he can do is keep climbing the tech tree. |
There's only 16 videos, without talking, with nature sounds and baddass awesomery. Gotta watch em all! |
That, and most of the heat goes up instead of out. The reason most fires "pop" and flings coals out of the fireplace is because of small amounts of water/resin left in the wood, which build pressure and pop like popcorn. |
Yup! And it doesn't look like a huge space, either, so popping coals should have a harder time getting out. |
Hes losing out of villager production, but is protecting himself from any rushes the other players have planned. |
It's a safe play, and I can definitely see him turtling and going fast castle into xbows with his easily walled tree line |
But its low risk, low reward. Sure hes less likely to lose villagers in an attack, but hes already behind the other players if they've decided to skip loom. |
It shows how many things we take for granted. If all the cloth makers in the world dies, us first worlders wouldn't have a clue how to make cloth from scratch. Thanks to Primitive Technology, we now know. |
I know how to spin wool (and thus, other fibers) and knit. I wouldn't have been able to invent a loom without seeing this video (I think I could make a decent attempt, now), but I could still make cloth. I think there are a lot of people in the first world who could knit or crochet if you made the thread for them. |
I'm pretty sure I've never seen a YouTube video with a higher ratio of likes to dislikes. A 40 to 1 ratio is good, 22k/44 is unheard of. Companies would spend millions on that kind of content. This guy just took everything to the roots and hit a really deep human nerve. Amazing. |
Its also the fact that he doesnt talk. So nobody can "disagree" on something or find what he says annoying/ offensive + no clickbait. No expectation is shattered, and no point of view is opposed. Brilliant tbh |
The thing I like most about these videos is the way you can watch him making small subtle improvements on everything he does, as he finds the most efficient way to get do each task. |
It makes it fun to re-watch almost all the videos, because each time, you notice something else small he's done to improve each time, and see how certain items and techniques get used in every new video. |
Like how in this video he added the string to the loom part way in do he wouldn't have to reach all the way over each time |
i like how he grabbed it with his toes. Modern living doesn't employ the toes as much as they deserve. |
Then have someone else start a rival village and have a real life game of Age of Empires or Civilization. |
"So um hey. This is my, uh, video about, um, how to make a loom and weave some, uh, bark fibers into a mat. If you, uh, like this video, you should, um, like it and um, subscribe to my channel." |
DUB STEP INTRO "hey (cut) This is my (cut) video about (cut) how to make a loom and weave (cut) bark fibers into a mat. (cut) like (cut) and (cut) subscribe" DUB STEP OUTRO |
Only time I've seen him break character is in the sling episode when he hits a target, he turns around and kind of gives himself a "fuck yeah" head nod. |
Support Primitive Technology on Patreon to help him make this a viable full-time job instead of just a hobby. |
