Interesting, but I fear they'll be too small and buried by too much sediment. Unless he burries a hundred of them in the same location, it will probably never be found, or if found, just an insignificant oddity.

I like the title. I wish I could be busy doing nothing. I also like the idea of a book as a log of one's journey. Does anyone know of any similar modern books that they would recommend?

So next year they can sell "quieter buttons" as a new feature?

Thank you. I thought I was replying to the arguement set forth by the person I was replying to, but I guess that's not what is meant. Perhaps it means respond to the facts of the content and not how it was delivered? If that's th

It might be a little mean because of the first line, but I don't see it as combative, and it's not overly aggressive. So what if it sounds "aggressive", it's okay to have emotion and convey it. If I don't wan

Unfortunately the largest dumb 4K TV I could find was 75" (Sceptre brand, Walmart sells them). I bought an LG 86" 4K TV. Before I powered it on the first time, I opened it up and unplugged the WiFi/Bluetooth card. So far so

In that case, I wonder how "random" the drawing was for one of those seats. I read the Terms and Conditions, and it seemed on the up-and-up.

It's wedged at the stern because the bow impelled the ground. The stern isn't impelled, once the front of the ship is free, the back be easily ungrounded by tugs.

Maybe some kind of trustless crypto lotto about when the ahip will be freed?

So far I haven't really seen any other suggestions saying to cut the bolbous bow off. The ship can still sail without it.

by meowster 6y ago
Yes, the bulb can be removed and the ship still seaworthy.

Ships have watertight bulkheads behind the bow in case they run into something. The ship can definitely sail without the bow. They should just cut it off and leave it there as a reminder to others not to f* up.

I'm no naval architect, but wouldn't the ship break in two once the robot tries to pick it up? It would for sure break apart due to centrifugal force while being swung. I like movies where I can suspend belief (monsters and giant

They could just cut the bulbous bow part off, and sail the ship out of the canal without it. Ships have watertight bulkheads in case the bow is breached. Cut everything they can from the inside, seal the bulkhead, then cut the outer hull f

Walmart has better stock of Sceptre TVs last time I checked. Unfortunately they only make dumb 4K TVs up to 75" (I was looking for 85", so I just unplugged the WiFi module in the TV I bought before I turned it on the first time.)

Please don't unnecessarily bring politics into the discussion. (It wasn't me, I don't have enough karma to downvote.)

No matter the side, I prefer Hacker News when comments aren't politicking.

Did he think he could get through the door with a regular gun? Hollywood portrayals of shooting locks isn't reality.

I am not going to disagree with you there. I would like it if we never needed guns. Unfortunately I don't know of any community that has erradicated crime and dangerous animals.

My gun does require some mental overhead, but I wouldn't call it significant. My mental checklist of "phone, keys, wallet" just turns into "phone, keys, wallet, gun" and just like someone wearing a skirt might make

Whatever definition you're using is generalizing, and is incorrect. You're assuming you know what I think or feel, and you're wrong.

As long as the laws were carefully written, and it doesn't become a barrier to anyone any more than driver's ed is a barrier to driving, I wouldn't mind requiring people to take a short basic class on gun ownership and use in
