    Yeah I'm not really sympathetic to the sheer quantity of resources being thrown at this situation. The same resources could be better applied to so many other unaddressed problems. These (mostly wealthy) people made a risk and are paying for it, why do the rest of us have to pay for it too?

    Never done it, usually decomposed into wedges and grilled in a basket with other veggies like garlic, mushrooms, and golden beets. They do it with half onions at a Lebanese restaurant near me they are sweet and delicious!

    Memorable introduction to the Romulans, Cloaking, and the submarine style of warfare which persisted through decades of Sat Trek. A really formative episode!

    I never noticed the detail on that necklace, that it was a starfleet delta from Kirk's ship, and fashioned from electrical parts from the Botany Bay. So cool.

    Maybe you're just growing up? As I get older I just don't have the emotional or mental capacity to really care that much about trivial knowledge anymore. Maybe you're sad to let go of a love and an obsession that is tied concretely to your now fleeting youth..., and that's a valid feeling. Ride it out and find out where you land maybe you'll pick up a new love or obsession.

    I'm curious about the specifications of the Carbon Fiber hull. Carbon fiber laminates are notorious for delaminating. I cant imagine the stresses on that hull from repeated pressure cycling. What nondestructive methods were they planning to use to investigate the hull? The article does not say. Also the veiwport not being certified for human operation at that depth is a major indicator.

    Either the hull imploded and they were disintegrated in a 5,000 psi crush of water, or the viewport failed, then they were imploded and disintegrated. Jeez that's horrible.

    You can see a tour of the submersible here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29co_Hksk6o&t=139s

    Couldn't pay me a million dollars to get in that contraption and go to 30 meters even. Crazy.

  • My default is Subscribed | New comments. Hot and Active are too slow. New Comments lets even old posts rise to the top showing that new comments are being made and can be interacted with. Then I switch to Subscribed | New to jump on new posts if I want to, and then finish up with All | New Comments and dive into the action lol. What's your strategy?

    I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can't wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home. Give me another week at home however and I'm itching to get out of there again. Anyone else feel this?

    If someone owns a piece of land, how deep does their ownership go? all the way to the center of the Earth?

    Depends on the jurisdiction really, whether mineral and water rights are separable from the surface plot, and how "property rights" are defined and entitled. In the United States generally a property deed entitles you to exclusive use of the surface and soil. Surface water, groundwater, rocks and minerals beneath the soil (down tens of thousands of feet), and even air space, are wholly different sets of rights that may be deeded, traded, sold, or restricted. For instance in the western US (as opposed to the eastern states) surface water (creeks, streams, lakes) on your property may be entitled to a downstream user and is not automatically "yours" to use.
