...moments before the crew faced being crushed by underwater pressure

Or just plain water pressure. I wonder where the DM finds all those idiot writers.

I was astonished to see that in our own military in the US, there are creepy weirdos in the commissioned officer corps who hew to this bizarre and creepy “furry” thing where they wear dog masks and such.

Part of me still refuses to accept it is true.

Or musloid sabotage

They’re also the same creeps who said yes they would when asked if they’d fire on Americans if ordered to do so.

I had a Triumph motorcycle that wanted to get everywhere yesterday. Dang thing had 180 on the speedometer. I was always scared to try anything above 120 mph myself. That Triumph was an absolute blast to ride on the back roads. I still miss that bike. Had to get rid of it when I divorced my first wife, lawyer told me I had too many vehicles. I practically gave the bike and a car away.

If you want to understand Lucas you have to read The Citadel by A.J. Cronin. He gives several great examples of the English mindset, especially the unions. Even if it’s broken, don’t fix it if someone is still buying it.

Same here, had a couple triumphs, a BSA 441 Victor, and still have a BSA 500 Goldstar.

Riding days are done, severe low back pain and heart troubles, but still have my 850 Norton and the DBD-34 race bike in the garage. Can't bring myself to sell either one.

It happened in a galaxy far far away...

The British just needed to tap the instrument to get it to work.

[Alvin Diogenes]

Did I miss it, or did the article not say when this happened? Was it in the last few days, or is this an old story that is just being revealed now?

Physical, analog control is a great backup.

“Physical, analog control is a great backup.”

Absolutely. New cars are now coming out with no manual inside door handles to get out, they are electronic. Sometimes only one for the driver and everyone else has to climb out the driver’s door if there is no power. What if it is on fire and the driver is unconscious? It is absolutely stupid. I would NEVER buy one, only someone stupid would buy one.

Cool little cars though. :)
