And the sad thing is that people will compare this to Thomas Edwards (Titanic designer).

NLRB works for free.  The suit was between the government and chucklefuck the former employer. 

Do you think the Coast Guard, and all fire departments and all paramedic departments, exist solely to help people who make the best possible choices?

It is impressive they found the wreckage of such a small craft so quickly, when you think about it. From a technological and logistical point of view, this is still an impressive result.

That was one hell of a bidding war at the end.  Two bidders fighting it out from $5k to the eventual close at $9500.

NQNP (not quite nice price) This car is almost painfully pretty, especially compared to the current offerings from BMW.

“Brilliant Rot” sounds like a hardcore punk band. 

I gave it a NP. Caveat being a look at its extensive maintenance history which will get expensive and quick.

There’s no glee on this tourist submarine

well, for one, the US Navy Virginia Class submarine isn’t completely controlled by a video game controller - only the periscope is. the systems that actually matter in getting you down and back to the surface are much more complex and, more importantly, have redundancies.

Juneteenth celebrates the final end of American slavery, when the Union army finally liberated the slaves in the most remote region of Texas following the Civil War. I personally consider it a worthy holiday, celebrating Emancipation in the United States, probably the most important single thing to happen since the…

It was commemorated by the few. Those who received the message. Then the children of those who received the message. It grew organically from there.
