On the plus side, it's Osprey with Kempower kit, so fast and reliable.

Williams' numbers are mostly up from his rookie season, but it's a small sample size and includes a big game against a bad defense. The Bears still need to see growth in several areas coming off the bye week.Jason Lieser (Chicago Sun-Times)

Instead, they move like giant amoebas, creeping at about 1 cm per hour! As they crawl, they engulf bacteria, algae, and organic matter, digesting prey on the go...

This image shows a view from inside the cabin of a vehicle, looking out at a flooded street at night. The dashboard is visible in the foreground, with a digital display showing “22:30” and other vehicle information including a battery percentage reading of “94%.” The street is filled with water, and multiple semi-trucks are parked alongside the road. The trucks are lined up, with reflections visible on the water's surface. On the side of one truck, the text “EXCARGO” is visible, and on another, the text “LAND” is also visible.
