That is what **[DeepL](https://www.deepl.com)** suggested when I asked, but I find it a bit weak. Fluffy is softer than a sponge (esponja: sponge, esponjosa/esponjoso: spongey). Fluffy feels more like feathers than sponges. _Gustibus not est disputandum_ and so on, but I don’t like it. ---

> Meanwhile, Cooper Freeman, the Alaska director of the environmental group the Centre for Biological Diversity, said, “This is a huge embarrassment for Trump’s Alaska fossil fuel fantasy.” I sometimes wonder, when I see a statement like this, if the leader understands his job is to use a rare public opportunity to continue hammering home key messaging (in this case, reinforcing the risks by saying something along the lines of oil producers recognizing the financial non-viability of that kind of drilling), rather than engaging in his inner teenager. Just a side thought, carry on. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Oh, it will be viable in a year or two when gas hits 8 bucks a gallon. But the start up costs of throwing a hundred oil rigs up is a problem. Of course this administration does not understand that. Also, the way Trump keeps changing the economic landscape throwing around tariffs, starting wars and so on at whim _greatly_ discourages any sort of long term economic planning and investment in or involving the US. With the best will in the world no company _can_ make a realistic plan or properly gauge the risks & rewards when a lunatic keeps changing the rules on them. ---

To be fair, having been there, it is incredibly beautiful. I went really early in the morning, because it was Eid al-Fitr, and the local Muzzein really bellowed out the call to prayer at dawn, waking me up. So I got to see it without the other tourists for an hour or so, which increased the experience ten-fold. I did not really blame “the Muslims” for that. I actually tried to find which mosque it was to thank the Imam, but there are several around, and a language barrier, and a cultural barrier to overcome so I never did. (Now I write that, I feel real regret again for not thanking him) ---

According to the story, somebody didn’t change the factory default password. This is why you always change the default password. This is also why maybe it’s not such a big deal if you don’t bother.
