  1. People can always hide behind "safety." Schools need find a way to incorporate safety and eliminate the phone.
  2. Why don't they just put emergency phones throughout the place. Like pick it up and it dials 911. Or issue a single purpose emergency phone to each student at the start of day. Leave in each desk. Corrected. 😉😜😘
  3. 8 days ago in Arizona... Strange because it was a black bear... Usually more scared of humans!
  4. You'd think... They'd have a REMOTE "BlackBox" and sound bouy in place nearby to record every detail up until the last 40th millisecond the implosion went off. Would help the investigation.
  5. Yeah... But I got some cheap expired carbon fiber. What could possibly go wrong after 12 dives! 😆 🤣 😆... He's treating it like one day old expired milk! /smdh... Where was this clown from?
  6. Read this! Wow! https://komonews.com/news/loc...ron-ocean-surface-expedition "...Over cigars one night, (Stockton) Rush told Weissmann that he got the carbon fiber for the Titan’s hull at a big discount because it was past its shelf-life for use in airplanes, Weissmann said. But Rush reassured him it was safe. ..." WTF! Any idiot knows that spheres are better than tubes at deep dives. And if you are gonna make it a tube... Better to go stronger than carbon fiber. They have been doing this since the 1960s. I think the engineering is pretty well set... Even more so now!
  7. CEO full of hubris: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65998914
  8. Same thing here in Illinois. They all slam Chicago... But the cities keep the state afloat. The country folk think it's the exact opposite though. /smdh My plates in Illinois. Just sayin' 😆
  9. Nature of the news cycle. I don't think the Navy had any grand conspiracy plans. They had to follow things logically. Is a 96 hour window really too much to wait for?
  10. But people can't handle that! Boo hoo. Luck of the draw. Who's murder got hid by 911? Some people get all the breaks.
  11. They had to wait because they had to get the ROVs in place to get a visual. No way the public handles this information well. Let the "96 hour oxygen window" run out keeping hope alive before releasing the information. Gotta keep morale and hope up. Is 96 hours too much to ask to be 100% positive? Sheesh... Imagine if they released that information on Sunday and were wrong... Dudes were floating around somewhere. The government did good and acted logical! For once? We don't care about that... The public wants to know if a Kardashian farts! 😏
  12. James Cameron nailed it. I guess we all pretty much came to same conclusion why redundant systems failed: "I felt in my bones what had happened. For the sub's electronics to fail and its communication system to fail, and its tracking transponder to fail simultaneously - sub's gone." ~James Cameron
  13. SUPPOSEDLY the US Navy picked up the acoustics right after the sub went missing. Wow... That's scary. How does the Navy hear that? Betcha Kim Kardashian is freaking out that they can hear her fart! 😆
  14. Report is... The kid was terrified, but went to bond with his father. A billion dolla inheritance will definitely make people do screwy things! He rolled the bones and came up craps!
  15. Good thing we keep our national secret ***** secret! 😏
  16. Can't be that bad. Why fight it... Try to sleep as much as you can to conserve oxygen... Hopefully you don't wake up. Gotta be better than instantly turned into this:
  17. Good point! BUT I argue that fire is more natural. NASA determined in the 1950s (1958 to be exact) ....THAT the human body can survive from about 4°C to 35°C (39°F to 95°F)... Basically unprotected. https://www.nib.com.au/the-checkup/what's-the-hottest-temperature-the-human-body-can-cope-with I don't need a furnace really to keep my house 40°F... Even when it's really cold.
  18. So that means I can't go to Arizona? 😏 To answer the question, probably space, I'd want my intact body at least floating around some place.
  19. Agree... If you read about the USS Thresher... First nuclear submarine of ours to be lost... They were picking up weird sounds... But ruled it.
  20. Yeah. The integrity (of hull) has to be maintained. Gotta just accept, it's a death trap. This one is going 13,000 feet. Military submarines go only like 1,500 feet... Not sure where I heard that. Update: They supposedly are picking up noises in the water...
