So much for rational agent theory. How do you explain why that card is worth a million? Meanwhile in Italy Tourist from England accused of carving name in Colosseum says he did not realise its age Dimitrov, who faces a hefty fine and possible prison term, praised those who “guard the inestimable his...

Someone being honest about being awful just means that they are shameless on top of being awful.

I will reiterate that a merv13 filter taped to a box fan works fine. Or you can make a Corsi-Rosenthal Box , which is 4 filters and a fan, taped together. If you have a AC or whole house fan, use MERV13 on those as well. Our best invention was to tape a filter into the partially open window so we co...

And don't say things like "they tell you not to mix carbon and titanium, but I did." Which the late Stockton Rush is on record as saying.

At least, as Dave said, software usually fails in non-lethal ways.

It's not the fault of the Titanic that extremely wealthy people chose to entertain themselves by getting on a homemade vessel whose owner declared his contempt for safety precautions. Can't even call it an accident. This is "standing on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and ...

Oh. The second one.

Can someone explain about the camera? I didn't notice anything unusual.

Given the shoddy construction and corner cutting, it's much more likely that it ended in a quick crunch. The CEO, described as a libertarian, scoffed at safety-obsessed government regulations and was quoted as saying that at some point, safety is just an extra expense. Now his company is demanding h...

Again?

But wait, it gets worse. Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To Court documents reveal a former OceanGate employee had several safety complaints over the tourist submersible—and then he was fired. "Safety concerns" like the viewport was only ra...

Thanks for fixing it, Jude!

I am not grand anything, but I can read it on Tapatalk.

Do you want me to spoiler the screenshot in the Titanic thread?

I think it's the inline image part that's iffy. Let me try. Eta: inline worked. David Pogue later replied that his video did mention the sub being lost. Not sure about the internet blackout part. The entire operation is just horrifyingly slapdash. This wasn't some wildly unpredictable accident, this...

They supposedly had a connection via Starlink, but either it failed, or there's no one left to use it.

Eta: OK, someone said this is pretty damning, and I agree. Long screenshot.

Seems shady that they are sending submersibles down without apparently any backup plan in case of malfunction or accident.

* checks ticket prices * I am getting a handful of raspberries right every day right now. And we finally planted tomatoes. I'd feel bad about being late m, but it's been a cool spring, and I don't think I've lost that much time. Plus, we got more mature plants than we normally get. I also grabbed ch...

My goal in life is that when I go, the overwhelming response of everyone who's ever met me is not "Finally!"
