How did you feel about the Biden family’s blatant corruption? Do you really think that Hunter Biden was an amazing artist and brilliant corporate energy sector lawyer that is just falling on hard times now like the rest of us? It’s a weird coincidence that he can’t sell his paintings anymore now that his Dad isn’t politically relevant anymore.

Joe’s brother has also made a lot of money off of questionable government contracts.

What were their roles in the Biden Administration?

Just don’t look up how they made the horses fall down.

My dad adored the Myst games. We would plug a computer into a big screen (eventually projector) and try to solve the games as a family over a Christmas break

Not enough can be said about the quality of the writing and worldbuilding in the universe. It's as pity that the format died around the game.

There are some terrific point & click games on iOS (preferably iPadOS). The Room series, The House of Da Vinci series (superb Room knockoff), and The Eyes of Ara (personal fav) just to name a few.

“Gilding the Mickey” would be an apt description of this article.

That’s sad. I can only imagine the amount of panic they must have went through.

I wonder what other fatal accidents have been caused by dropped electronics such as iPads and iPhones getting stuck under accelerators and brake pedals in cars and long haul trucks as an example.

There’s obviously distracted driving as well which is a major problem.

Tangentially related, there’s Eastern Air Lines Flight 401. The flight crew unwittingly crashed the plane while preoccupied with a burnt out landing gear confirmation light.

You're imposing your own narrative here. The interest was driven by the Titanic and deep sea exploration. Whomever the six people were means nothing. I've watched documentaries about this type of Titanic exploration and now the subject of those documentaries is part of a slowly developing catastrophe.

Precisely, the story of the Titanic is nearly ubiquitous. A fair amount of Americans probably couldn’t even locate the Mediterranean on a map.

Consequences? Other than financial cost what are you predicting?

Horse meat would be a few euros cheaper.

Horse riding competitions of all kinds should just be shut down. When I was a kind, I spent some time around high level riders and the amount of animal abuse and doping is just unfathomable. There is nothing good about horseback riding as a "sport".

sirshmooey · 3 years ago

You’re not wrong, but lots of breeds are bred for just such a purpose, particularly thoroughbreds. They’re very expensive animals. Losing those competitions would come with consequences.
