Consequences for Trump?

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.

I must say, I am quite the fan of your work around here.

We don't talk about the event!!

That's a 10% dip before the market even opens. Opening bell is going to be fun this morning!!

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.

He tried so hard to save Artax... 😭

Are these in pots or in the ground? Those leaves look perfect, really nice one for sure.

I guess given your response, you are asserting their managers are gatekeeping access? Do you have personal experience in that regard?

I ask because we have made a massive, and frankly dumb, push to get everyone and their mother to use ChatGPT at work, from C level down to the call centers. Our metrics show around %60 of queries come from male employees, despite only %30 of our global staff being male. Given that communications and access were given to all employees via the same global communications channels, we attributed that to more men being willing to try gimmicky new software than women, but I wonder if something else is at play...
