Wow, at an absurd study. Just because bacon contains niacin doesn't mean bacon is good for you. In fact, I doubt much of that niacin survives the frying process. And to boot, they fed niacin, not bacon, to the roundworms. And WTF do roundworms have to do with human beings? And the study doesn't even mention bacon!
My god, this is science in today's world:
class Worm {}
class Human : inherit Worm {}
class Media : inherit Idiots {}
class Study : inherit Media, Human
{WormFood = Bacon; }
{GoodForHuman = WormFood; }

I think you've revealed a plot!
The worms are fattening us up for when we're buried, using bacon as a tool in their master plan!
We have to escape, but...
THERE'S NO ESCAPING THE WORMS!
Coming soon to a graveyard near you...

is banned where I live,
Despite it's being good, we have to leave the country to get some...
Mind you beer is also banned here, as in wine of all colours, in fact all alcohol is banned here!
WTF am I doing in a country that bans bacon and alcohol?

Because I couldn't find work, I left California in February and took a job in Knoxville, TN. Well, it hasn't worked out so well, so Friday I flew back to Cali and did 2 interviews.... Nailed them both. I start my new job back in San Diego on Monday!
Then, I had an old co-worker email me asking if I'm available to take on a side project. YES!!
When I told him I'm leaving, my boss here in TN said, "Hey, if you're interested, I can give to 15-20 hours of work per week remotely".
I went from zero jobs to 2 offers, a side gig, and my current boss wanting to keep me on.
Life is good.

Ok, before you work yourself to death, I think you should visit a museum in San Diego.

No, not this one, even if it would have been interesting. They even had a computer like my old one here. They listed it in the exhibits as RCA COSMAC Elf, but it's really a Netronics Elf II, like mine.
It's been a while (like 35 years) since I last was in San Diego. Could you pay this place[^] a visit?

Did you perhaps take some photos of the Seaking on the flight deck? The one which has been painted to resemble the one that was used to recover the Apollo astronauts? The original lies nearby on the bottom of the sea.

You see, I fly with RC helicopters and have begun to build a scale model of this particular Seaking. I want to paint it as the original was when it recovered Apollo 11. The problem is that I also need to print the decals, very much as for a normal plastic model kit, but in the correct scale.
There are a few pictures and even videos of Seaking 66 on the internet, but they do not show much detail. Some closeup photographs of any S-61, but especially of one painted to look like Seaking 66, would be a great help.

Thanks. Here[^] you can have a look at the beginning stages of building the body. Once I have fitted in the tail it is going to be painted.
The real problem is the helicopter I prepared to be installed in the body. I have been busy flying it in the last weeks and it's far too good to be torn apart and then modified for the Seaking. Now I'm building a Frankenstein from all sorts of parts with everything in the right place from the beginning.
This[^] is a short video showing the first helicopter in flight. No way I'm going to experiment with this one by ripping off the tail and the rotor head and replacing them with something that resembles a Seaking. Just the 'meow' at right turns is a little strange.

Yes, it's the SH-3D #66 of the HS-4 squadron (Black Knights) on the USS Hornet in 1969, serial number 152711.
It recovered Apollos 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13, so it's easy to find tons of pictures of it. And there begin the problems. The helicopter was repainted between recoveries, probably to look new and shiny. Also, it was also assigned to different squadrons and aircraft carriers along the way.
If you look closely, it looks different on every picture. Something new has been added, other things have disappeared or some details have changed color, like the rotor hub or the covers of the sponsons which originally were blue and later were painted red.
Look here[^], here[^], or here[^].
Here[^] we even have a video of the recovery of Apollo 13. It's an hour long, so you may want to start watching at 49:00.
The only thing those pictures don't tell me are the small details. There are small warning labels all over the things, sometimes even in yellow on the white paint. Between different missions some disappear and reappear in later pictures. Have they just been overlooked? Or were they really overpainted and then restored later? And what exactly was the text? Those are the details which I am after.
