It’s starting to look like the next 6-12 months is going to be a slow and very detailed dismantling of this buffoon and I’m here for every second of it.  No one deserves it more.  

It can be fun to watch people meltdown in the face of their own hypocrisy, but most people, and especially people like Trump, utterly lack the cognitive capacity or self awareness to own up to it.

The standards for venting must be abysmal, because my last house (single family, built in 2010) had a stove that was located along an outside wall, but the vent hood didn’t actually vent anywhere. It would have been a simple thing to punch a hole in the wall for a vent, but it wasn’t required, so it wasn’t done.

No they haven’t. They regulate new builds, not enter anyone’s home and take the stove.

You basically need a really solid ventilation hood (for all stovetop cooking, but especially anything with gas).

Statistically, we don’t know a damn thing about how common habitable worlds are. We don’t even have a sliver of data to generalize from yet. Wake me up in a couple centuries and MAYBE we’ll have a slightly better sense.

The danger isn’t the fuel source. Electric, resistive and induction both, also release harmful particulates and chemicals into the home while you’re cooking. The danger is shit ventilation. Fix ventilation standards and you pretty much address this issue. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Apartments tend to…

What an insane take. So how much, in your expert opinion, would be a reasonable amount of restitution? And why would a lower number be any less subject to, as you say, disappearing into “government coffers”?

Good. Hopefully Romania can make the charges stick and imprison them.

...regard their impending trial as an opportunity to “demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”

Well when you consider crypto was started as a way to pay for drugs/human trafficking victims without being traced, it adds up quick.

It’s good when bad things happen to bad people.

a wonderful piece of news to start my day!

From what I’ve read part of the problem is the one they sent down is the only one they have capable of hitting those depths, which makes going down in the one that disappeared even more of a questionable decision.

The company is being very tight-lipped (busy calling their lawyers, no doubt). Do they not even have a backup system in place in case their one internet connection failed? It’s mind-boggling that a company sending a submersible down in these conditions has to fall back on “help, rescue people, we don’t know where our…

I mean, it's an awful death. Gotta have some class. 

I hate to say this, but who spends $250K to go see the Titanic in a mini-sub that sounds like it came out of a cracker jack box. That said, I hope they’re found OK.

The James Cameron movie about this submarine sinking to the bottom of the sea, never to rise again, is going to be the best four and a half hours you’ll ever spend at the cinema. Tom Cruise is going to hold his breath for the entire duration of it.

So a tube full of richcicles?  So sad.

See what they mean by religious freedom is freedom for *them* to practise *their* religion, wherever and whenever they want
