This time in around 35 hours, I should have arrived in Palma, Mallorca airport

Love how the media is very upset at rich people potentially drowning. Migrant boats though...that's another matter... Cynical, I know.

People who experience success in life tend to develop the illusion that they can be successful at everything. He also claimed he had studied disasters in aviation and spacefaring to learn from them. A Youtuber pointed out that he apparently forgot the lesson of the Apollo 1 disaster, which taught us that bolting people into a tight, high-oxygen space will lead to disaster if a fire breaks out.

The controller by itself is not the crazy part, as controllers are also used by the military in some countries. The mental part is that they relied on a wireless connection, which any gamer will know can be highly unstable/unreliable. Military application of controllers always uses a wired connection. They did have spare controllers on board in case it failed, but this particular model (Logitech G-F710) relies on a 2.4GHz cordless connection, meaning you need a USB dongle plugged in for it to connect. Each controller will only connect to the specific dongle that it was shipped with, and judging by the way this shitfest went, there is a real possibility they were not aware of this. So all of those spare controllers would've been useless unless they came with their corresponding dongles on board. Then there's the fact that they used a 2011 knock-off brand, which again, every gamer will know is highly unreliable.

They've found debris near the Titanic. If this is the sub, looks like it was the best possible death for these people - nearly instant death in an implosion.

Should be illegal

Is it? I went to Cubs games all the time. Don’t tell me how hard or easy something is when you can’t do it yourself. Support whoever you want IDGAF but this whole ‘it’s so hard to stop’ is absolute nonsense, just admit you don’t want to. ‘You don’t go to games’ doesn’t hold water at all, and is a weird flex.

For sure. But I think part of the reason is the possibility of these 5 rich people finding their watery grave is it’s a particularly horrifying potential way to die (assuming the window that’s only been tested for 1/3 the depth they’re going didn’t break and the sub didn’t just implode on them)… Imagine being trapped in a tiny tube, in the bottom of the ocean. It’s basically pitch black. There’s a toilet bucket with a curtain but who knows if they even can/could see it. It’s freezing and they’re all running out of breathable air. And it’s absolutely fucking freezing in that tube. Sounds like a total nightmare. Having that metal tube implode on you is also probably not a pleasant way to die. But at least it’d be quicker. A lot of very rich people are cunts, but these people didn’t deserve to die… maybe the CEO who thought safety regulations just got in the way of “progress” to the point they didn’t even put a beacon on the sub. The company almost certainly used “the CEO goes down to the wreckage with you” as a way of demonstrating how safe the submarine actually was. That guy shouldn’t have brought his 19 year old kid with him - that’s particularly cruel. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was a billionaire, his odds of having a good life were higher than most people get a chance of having a good life. Maybe the watery grave of 1503 people should be left alone instead of being a tourist attraction for the wealthy.

it's peddled by people like Stephan Howson, Strettforf Paddock and sometime Mark Goldbridge they keep the "Qatar or bust" narrative

I think it comes down to personal preference. It doesn't make you any more or less committed as a fan, or any better or less as a person. I made a long post last year about if Palace had kept Kouyate on I would have had to make a difficult decision, whilst at the same time all the Twitter tadpoles were getting excited over the possibility of signing Ismalia Sarr. So it really comes down to what a person is comfortable with.

I don't get the Radcliff hate. it seems to be related to allowing the glazers to maintain minority share but nothing to do with the model he wants to adopt. the sad thing is this should have been sorted months ago and it puts man United on the back foot this summer. they are losing out on targets made even worse by Saudi clubs flashing the cash.

Collision's commentary team is giving me hope.
