@HaraldKi thanks Harald. I was assuming it was over near the country of Georgia but also confused because couldn’t figure out why it would have a straight. To be honest i thought the country of Georgia was landlocked until just now.

@masukomi what a great woman. It's people like these that hold the torch for our species if you ask me.
@DJGummikuh i mean, us autistic folks have invented our figured out most of the cool shit so…
Don’t know for a fact that she’s autistic, but dang did she leave a lot of clues.

@masukomi to be fair, I don't really think that categorization makes sense here, my admiration goes deeper than that. For whatever reason, she pushes the limits of what not only herself, but humanity as a whole can achieve and is approaching this with an almost child-like fascination despite the tremendous ammount of effort involved. Now whether she did that because she's autistic doesn't matter any more than the fact she's a woman in my opinion, I just admire her approach to life.

@DJGummikuh that perfectly describes the autistic approach to our special interests. Some of us just happen to have special interests with broader applications. Einstein being the most famous example, but there’s also no way I’m buying that Charles Babbage and many other people who drove humanity with discoveries or inventions that required years of hyperfocus on
no one else cared about weren’t also autistic. -

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/b-c-swimmer-crosses-strait-of-georgia-under-nine-hours-9.7316260@masukomi From another interview with her.
“I ate pretty much nothing but ice cream every day for months and months and months,” she said. “I highly recommend everyone try that at least once in their life.”
OMFG, this woman, loving this — Violet

disappointing to see the wikipedia entry for SoG hasn't been updated to reflect her spiteful achievement -
