Banging was heard on Tuesday.

And today. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/missing-su ... 023-06-21/

I suspect it was "objects" bumping around inside the hull (I think it imploded, because it was only designed safely for 1/3rd of the depths they were at.)

This was shared with me. . .



Further Simpson's info (a long-time member of the Simpson's last episode they were involved was the sub episode, and would go onto the same Titan expeditions the previous year. . . Maybe he just liked submarines?)


The belief that the Titanic was intentionally sunk in order to centralize a private bank system in the USA, eerily mimics the ongoing Rothschild connection, to Oceangate.

Most likely summary

[Senseye]

I'm a bit surprised at how much media coverage this thing has garnered.

Almost certain they are dead, but of course, now that's it's drawing eyeballs the media is going to drag this thing out as long as possible. Surely by tomorrow the mission will have to change from rescue to recovery (should already be the case). Although the media still wants to play the angle that maybe they could outlast the oxygen deadline whereas in reality, that 95 hours is best case, worst case is probably much less.

Dude in video said communication was intermittent as a matter of course. But did he mean the ping alert? Has that ever disappeared with the sub still fine? Seems an easy and obvious question to ask, but no info.

My media cynicism is showing through, but it's like false hope is being promoted to sell more ad time.

Implosion (the nose of the craft came off completely.) The bolts couldn't keep it together.

Somehow this only now caught my attention: the dead body of a boy, killed by the boyfriend of a woman, was inside the apartment where electricity was cut off for over a year, and somehow three children remained living there without any concern as to the situation.

Fireworks. Is the boom at liftoff necessary or an added feature? Because model rockets don't go boom. Mabe it's because model rockets are lighter???

[HighlyIrregular II]

Now I'm not sure if there was a boom at liftoff. When I was 15 feet away from it it seemed like it. Looking out the window I don't know.

So, just as the Canada smoke (I like to call it the Canadian virus) subsided, we get firework smoke on a windless night.

LED flashlights are getting so powerful that someone was aiming their flashlight around from some floor above mine, like a safer alternative to fireworks, and I got to see buildings several blocks away illuminated. There are even brighter ones that fit in your pocket. I'd like to see how a brighter one looks some day.

I've had to argue in a group about the decline of America into stupidity, about the dangers of motorcycles (previously it was the absurd statistic on obesity which apparently was perceived as "body shaming" by those who chose to gaslight in other comments with unrelated stuff they misconstrued as connected to the topic)

Trauma Doctors topic on the stupidity of what he faces daily
http://www.docbastard.net/search?q=motorcycle

3% of vehicles on the road, and the only two I've happened to know were DEAD, and the others very easily could have died, or will die, or are teaching their pre-K son to ride a quad and a teenaged motorbike. . . FUCKING DUMB.

"Riding a motorcycle is undeniably dangerous. Sadly, motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to lose their lives in a fatal driving crash compared with other motorists on the road. They are also four times as likely to sustain an injury in a collision. Apr 24, 2023"

They associate the claim that a person dying in a car crash is equally biased, saying "a car is deadly" not realizing the car probably hit ANOTHER CAR, and a bike crashing into that car is the least of their worries, though the motorcyclist has a MUCH HIGHER probability of being dead.

Woman Faces Felony Charges For Forgetting To Return ‘Sabrina The Teenage Witch’ VHS Tape 20 Years Ago

Reminds me of "The Library" Seinfeld Season 3 Episode 5
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_(Seinfeld)

Does a movie from that era actually cost more than $20? ? ? (if it was the early 1980s some can go upward of $100, though the weight of the vhs is substantially different from the cheap crap coming out in the late 1990s.)

“Did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously embezzle a certain (one) video cassette tape, sabrina the teenage witch, of the value of $58.59.”

Video: 19-year-old Goes to hospital for "back pain" and a baby pops out, and she tosses it in a trashcan where it ends up dead. Upon leaving the hospital she is arrested at her mom's house who (pretends to) be/was completely oblivious she was pregnant or didn't realize she gave birth at the hospital.

"She didn't know what to do" (she knew she was pregnant and the circumstances means she thought this was the most logical choice?)

Was she held back and was still in HS?


It kind of reminds me of the glib drunken idiot that kills a bunch of people

In other news, the real estate market is filled with excitement. . .

Georgia mayor held at gunpoint after being accused of breaking into lake house: ‘Do you know who the f–k I am?’
https://nypost.com/2023/07/09/do-you-kn ... -burglary/

More background info (the owner was notified of movement in the tracking camera and drove out to where the house is.) It sounded like he lived at the property as his primary residence and held him at gunpoint.

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/fulton ... WUAWN572A/

Basically, the connected road from the main house is what lead to the lake house, and the owner might have been a bit of an ass. It seems criminal trespass is also considered "first-degree burglary" by simply having crossed on the road to the lakehouse, even though he didn't spend much time there while looking, and no mention of damage was done.

The mayor was charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary and was booked in the Fulton County Jail on $11,000 bond before being released.

It sounds a bit insane, and I'm wondering if the charges would be dropped, but his "do you know who I am" attitude might have angered the owner.


Update (August): Even in March the Mayor had the city council try to remove him, and he has something after the above incident where he's recording confidential meetings. The guy is unhinged.

Missing woman Carlee Russell was kidnapped and 'fighting for her life', claims boyfriend
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/m ... d-30480640

Update: Carlee Russell was ‘dropped off’ at her parents house by ‘someone she knew’
https://sandrarose.com/2023/07/traffic- ... ing-alone/

I think she had a mental breakdown and was hallucinating. They had camera footage of her on the side of the road with her hazard lights on for some time, where apparently she "saw a toddler" and it was a busy traffic area. She was dropped off by someone she knew, following a 48-hour search.



I suspect she has schizophrenia.
