I’ve been on like 30 flights. Can I claim to be expert next plane crash? honestly, I don’t know how full involvement but I suspect he’s much more of a passenger than designer on these subs.

yea man, I’m sure bengals fans warmly miss the Marvin Lewis years Even successful rosters see huge churn in 3 years. Taking over a team results in having a ton of your own guys inside of 2 off-seasons. Most importantly, a cost controlled quarterback

it’s probably as simple as “we think it’s highly likely” vs “we absolutely know”

The terror of being stuck certainly contributed to the story. But we will remember this for years to come even knowing those horror movie scenes were not real. They will forever be the billionaires with more money than sense and that also appeals greatly to the public interest. The only certainties? That the backdrop of the titanic didn’t spark the immense interest. That their bravery to be adventurers wasn’t the immense interest. rich men do incredibly dumb thing and maybe find themselves in a live action disaster porn? Binge watching.

it would make the circumstances impossible. unless the right circumstance starts with “the year is 2025…”

I can come up with a near infinite list of thrilling items that surpass “sit in a tiny can with strangers to see some debris” the 19 year old conquered nothing, showed no acumen, made no human connection, achieved nothing… a gondola to the top of a ski slope is more exciting than hopping in this sketchy sub. And that’s why people are so amazed by this. Not because they think these men were on some uniquely intriguing adventure into the unknown. They were chasing fake accomplishments at a cost we cannot fathom that turned into the ultimate price - a cost we very much understand.

honestly, disagree with large portions of the tweet. I think the fact that billionaires with the world at their fingertips chose to go in a modified propane tank with a bucket to go to the bathroom to look at wreckage on a screen really caught people. The controller is just an easy symbol to point to of the absurdity of the risk, even if not in and of itself a practical measure of said risk. there was no achievement, there was no escape from oppression, there was nothing relatable to your average human… just throwing away ones life with an immense risk that had minuscule reward. They rolled the dice annd bet their lives in exchange for…. what upside? dying in pursuit of summiting a mountain at least has some tangible human conquering nature narrative that stirs people and its dying in a quest. This is billionaires that could buy anything and that they chose THIS I think has really caught most people in a different way. Not the titanic as a backdrop. Not some faux sense of bravery. just sheer unreasonable and unrelatable decision making from folks that are thought to be in a position of excellence. And that’s a story the masses can be dumbstruck by for a couple days

at this point the most likely outcome unless by some random coincidence they landed on the ocean floor close enough to the titanic that someone stumbles into them… and even if someone does it sounds unlikely it’d be anything remotely recognizable to identify. But maybe a random piece gets found.

Cant sing the praises enough for the pit barrel - they call it a rib and chicken machine and it’s true.

and even that is best case scenario on the air. Short of finding them floating on the surface, it’s over.

From what seem to be expert posts in the field (who knows on the interwebs) I’ve seen a few posts about readings from the window where it disappeared there was a likely implosion picked up, and the current noises are likely normal day to day stuff honestly, as long as everyone knows the risks going in, I’m fine with risk taking… but should come with a preface of adequate insurance coverage to cover rescue costs or if funded by tax expense minimal search/rescue on the back end… as morbid as that sounds

if down the stretch we have Floyd, Rousseau, Miller and Oliver racking up sacks, he could quickly elevate. Our defense has a decent rep and that unit could make a big jump, possibly

why would diggs say no to getting his salary as an up front bonus, even if they spent the cap space on a backup punter? Yet alone a good edge rusher.

well, and to some degree that’s why I was curious about insurance needs on these. The societal cost of disaster is quite expensive even on a small vessel. But honestly no idea what the actual regulations are on a submarine in international waters….

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whistleblower-raised-safety-concerns-oceangate-190058533.html whistle blower fired a few years back. Bodes well. not ignoring the human element here, but on a practical level definitely curious about insurance carried on something like this.

then there is the complete opposite with the Byford dolphin pressurization incident. of course that was above water and by default kind of the opposite concern from this one, but not a distant cousin of the topic.

depending what happened it could be very quick and painless, as ways go. or much worse.

If he plays out the contract about 2% ish on average… so completely spot on average for a 53 man roster? im not losing sleep

I’d buy “low floor” as he might not do much, but “high downside” isn’t my favorite as there’s not a ton of downside even if he flops

tyrod got us to the playoffs, what if Josh is worse?!? in hindsight obviously a funny take, but as a logical deduction, it’s similar. If you don’t think you have the guy to win the Super Bowl, you have to go find the guy. You may get the wrong Josh but at least you are trying to find the right one.

if you truly believe he is the problem, do you not risk HC remaining a problem for the opportunity to potentially solve it? ”this is never going to work but trying to fix it might not work” is a terrible reason to stay put. again, that only if you believe he is the problem.

except by his phrasing he made it also about the others and by proxy about himself with the hot take. what he said: dak is a better leader than… what he could have said: dak is a tremendous leader beas will do it over and over as he gets a kick out of throwing bombs instead of simply being a great leader himself.

I don’t think there’s much rage about it but I do think folks think beasley goes out of his way to stoke fires for attention while also playing victim… which isn’t a particularly endearing quality. he quite literally has called himself out for being an idiot that can’t handle social media and the like, even prior to covid “dak is a great leader- I’m excited to see CJ play” is real easy… you know, unless you actually are looking for the attention on you, instead of dak or cj

or his just trying to grab attention. coles feeling bored and lonely…

you can’t cheer for the other lovable loser. If they win, suddenly you are left behind with you core team being the sad story left with 4 losses.
