  1. For reference, the Titanic is estimated to sit on the ocean floor at a depth of nearly 13,000 feet. Paying passengers wouldn’t know or be informed about Lochridge’s concerns, according to his complaints. They also wouldn’t be informed “that hazardous flammable materials were being used within the submersible.” Lochridge expressed concerns about the Titan again. But OceanGate didn’t address those concerns, and Lockridge was fired. OceanGate may need to lawyer up.
  2. That's shocking to look at. Nothing that thing is built of looks to me like "withstand a million pounds of pressure". I build shit that withstands thousands of pounds of pressure, and it's thick AF. Possible those dudes went down, and with no warning whatsoever, the whole thing simply was no more.
  3. A buddy of mine took this. I sat in it a couple times after a few beers at the Posse. Pretty sure I could have passed the final without ever going to class. sorry it’s gone.
  4. Hey, cool. My brother spent 3 or 4 years doing the same thing in mid-late '80's. Drums. Now he can't hear shit.
  5. I heard it also. Don't guess I've ever heard the full text before. The listing of a bunch of Louisiana parishes that were not affected (non rebelling) was interesting. Didn't know that. Some of the enforcement of the proclamation are still a little tepid in the 21st century.
  6. Not on the island, but looking at the various beach cams, looks like the sargasso is on the lighter side. Like I don't see huge piles of it on the beach, but just a light layer at the high tide mark.
  7. I ordered a bottle of the Frey Ranch Rye. We’ll see how it is. I’ve never had alcohol shipped to me in Texas before so there is the novelty factor and I like their story on their website. So I’m a sucker.
  8. Yes I also know about this. Similar to the “rolling coal” incident in Waller, there is a lot of noise for there to be more investigation. A lot of feeling that it’s being swept under the rug.
  9. All this pales compared to Bush/IAH. You can’t even get to the parking lot.
  10. Is it automatically a given that the team goes all in at the deadline to win the WS this year? Are World Series titles like the time value of money, meaning now is better than future? Do you mortgage the future to win back to back?
  11. If you swing the bat as hard as Yordan you’re going to strain something if you don’t make contact.
  12. The most comparable mega presidential scandal to this is Watergate, because it has the potential to destroy the republic. Watergate resolved itself short of that, we’ll see how this progresses. Seems newsworthy to me. This rises well above blowjobs in the White House, or some quid pro quo with an Eastern European president.
  13. Page 2 here and very few photos of trashy cruise shenanigans.
  14. Maybe you didn't attend the '91 Cotton Bowl.
  15. Can you imagine the fire under David Pierce’s butt if Texas never won a regional in 5 years? There wouldn’t be one because he would be gone gone.
  16. Port A baby! I'll think of you simpletons as I'm strolling down the white sands of the Texas Riviera! Then late September (and I really should be back at school), Seattle to see the Astros play, and generally mess around the PNW.
  17. I've caught lots of fish on croakers and piggy perch. Need something more cerebral than that.
  18. I just want a day on the water with my fly rod, and I'll pay a guy to use his boat, put me on some fish, and pick the correct fly for the conditions. I'll take care of the rest, even if it means not catching anything. The Zen of it is more important than anything else. At least, that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

    Getting old sucks

    Yep, sorry dude. Just making light of your situation.
