“Double A battery powered” = drop into that “7-11"! ...

The ghosts of Titanic have spoken.

No you idiot, it was  Right, Left, Down, Up, A, B, Select, Start! Now it’s totally locked up!

Everyone’s focusing on all kinds of random details (“controller! elevator! funny brass valves!”) when this big guy is in the room trumpeting and waving his tusks:

I’m not an expert in DSV design or construction, so I’m not going to go so far as to agree that this was amateurish or unsafe. But when you consider what a real DSV looks like - with it’s multiple redundancies, emergency separation systems, navigation systems, and the small matter of a design that allows the crew to…

Sad story. Fuck that HOA bitch. But the last part where the towing company came through?  I could die now, because I think I’ve heard it all.  Kudos to them for doing the right thing.

What kind of flag gets painted on the roof of an Altima? 

I... wonder what’s the point of piling on older cars safety-wise. I mean, safer cars are still not an excuse for bad driving. Besides, I don’t think cars past or present were designed with free falls in mind.

“Chief, the DNA results are back, and...well...” “Spit it out, sergeant!” “Sir, the pilot was....[dramatic organ music] your FATHER!” “What? Oh my god!” “But don’t take it too hard.
