Easy to welcome a war you will take no part in.

Yes, because surely more death will stop all this senseless killing.
I think that’s a fair assessment, mine isn’t all that dissimilar.
My understanding is there were only a few meters between the weight drop and complete communication loss, so either something went wrong directly related to dropping ballast, which caused the implosion, or perhaps cues the sub was in peril were ignored/misinterpreted by the captain, and the weight drop was his ineffective corrective measure.
From what I’ve read about the captian, I think his hubris would have never allowed him to fully consider they might be in real danger.
That theory doesn’t explain why they suddenly dropped ballast and attempted an ascension prior to implosion, though.
E. After doing some digging, the comments about the Titan having dropped weights and was ascending during implosion came from James Cameron. Not sure if that makes it more or less trustworthy…
This post reminds me of a friend of mine who likes a song so much, he will only listen to it twice a year, once on New Year’s and once on his birthday. He says each time is like the first time because “the pathways stay fresh”. He’s been consistent for at least 7 years.
If you’re curious: Toccata - OVERWERK
It blows my mind that this was cutting edge, jaw dropping graphics back in the day. A shape-shifting trapezoid with some panicked faces peeking out.
E. Nah now I’m thinking it’s a one dimensional parallelegram.
Cops are overwhelmingly bags of shit, and will use every available opportunity to demonstrate that fact, as we see here.
That said, I really think fines for traffic violations should be based on income. The guys total nonchalance at having been caught doing 60 in a 45(?) just smacks of wealth privilege. As it stands, fines only serve to yoke the poor, and do nothing to curb dangerous behavior from those who can easily afford the infraction.
It’s a security\legal risk to allow adhoc wireless networks within your environment, pretty much any organization above a certain size has the same restrictions.
You could theoretically allow anyone to access your router directly, which would let them bypass agreeing to the Acceptable Use Policy, for example, shifting liability back to the organization for that users behavior.
Any bets on how long it takes before this becomes a fetish?
Besides a wealthy tithing Christian, what loser pays 100k a year to hang out in a place you can’t drink or use profanity?
Everything is wrong with the US government.
Tbf it’s a pretty damned easy shit test to pass, it’s quite telling when someone won’t even take a swing.
Well, Ukraine is definitely off the Christmas card list now, that much is certain. They’ll be lucky to even get a Happy New Year’s text at this point.
Do I smell a territory swap coming?
I hope you’re sitting down for this one because it’s quite shocking; things ammend to the Constitution become a part of the constitution itself, and thus constitutional.
The inset ridge at the top makes me think maybe it had a lid at one point? Looks like you could cook a turkey in it, I wonder if it was itself a small electric oven, but now is missing the lid, rack, and heating element? That would explain the hole and the size.
The feet on the bottom really don’t seem practical for an oven rack, completely unnecessary if that’s what it’s for.
That’s the thing about a war time economy, you produce one tank, and BOOM you’ve added $3.5MM to your GDP. A single SU-35? About 16MM added to GDP.
You can’t eat tanks and jets though, the labor and resources used to maintain a war footing are vast, and must be poached from other areas of the economy. The longer you maintain this posture, the more dramatic the contraction.
Gazprom posted a loss for the first time in decades. They sell one of the most profitable substances ever discovered by man and they still couldn’t turn a profit… despite how little the sanctions are impacting them, no less!
The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on my S23 is absolute dog shit, I miss my Pixel 4. But reviews seem to imply it’s the best technology out there for the job, so I guess it’s a me issue… :/
Just got an alert it’s back up.
What did spa sex ever do to you tho?
