Burial at sea...
Since Sunday, the 21-foot tourist submersible named the Titan had gone missing, news sources repeated the same story simply because they had no hard facts. Thursday morning, Debris found 500 meters from the Titanic are believed to be from the missing submersible Titan. The only confirming fact at this point is an implosion failure and all on board have perished.
Who was on board?
HAMISH HARDING
SHAHZADA DAWOOD and his son SULEMAN
PAUL-HENRI NARGEOLET
STOCKTON RUSH
What did they expect to see?
A once-in-a-lifetime close-up viewing experience of the Titanic that went down 100 years ago.
Whats next?
Additional searches to recover the bodies and all parts of the submersible.
Investigations as to how and why this disaster occurred.
Lawsuits upon lawsuits...

CLIMATE CHANGE
The last ice age ended approx 25 thousand years ago. How did it end? Well, according to scientific studies, the earth tilted slightly on its axis and as a consequence, the planet began to warm up.
It did not increase in temperature due to cave dwellers driving cars or lorries, or flying aircraft or factories blowing out smoke filled with carbon dioxide or the burning of coal and use of oil fired boilers or exploitation of oil fields.
The climate changed because of nature's interference, not the activities of humans. We cannot overcome how the sun operates or the position of the planet.

Trolling and the Dark Triad
In the Real World, one must come to accept that some do not agree with you.
In the Real World, for instance, a woman may reject a man's advances, and for the most part, the man will accept that rejection and move on to greener pastures. Others, however, will be enraged by the rejection and become furious, their need for control overweening.
This inability to accept the disagreement may have pathological roots, specifically, in a grouping of mental conditions which psychologists call THE DARK TRIAD:
In the world of psychology, the term “Dark Triad” refers to the degree to which an individual manifests the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. People who score high in these 3 areas are less empathetic, less agreeable, less satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe in the goodness of themselves and in humanity. People who score high on these traits are also more likely to commit crimes, not fit in socially, and be disruptive. Hence the word “dark” in describing this triad of personal characteristics.
Those with the trifecta of Dark Triad personality traits, therefore, can end up being a high powered corporate executive, a politician, or Ted Bundy. The level of narcissism required to be Dark Triad is intense and deeply internalized. The individual deeply believes they are superior to everyone else, their self love is ridiculously high, ... It does not matter if the Dark Traid’s self-confidence is substantiated or not... The Dark Triad person shows no empathy and will feel no remorse for bad and immoral behaviors. This ability is a skill to the Dark Triad Individual in our tough and unforgiving society, but it is defined as a serious mental disorder for a reason.
Sometimes, people disagree.
And inability to accept disagreement can be sign of a deeper problem.
Food for thought.

The Dark Triad personality is interested in anarchy at the expense of others, and they want to fuel social disruption.

SPACE KNOWLEDGE OF WOMEN ATTRACTIVE
Why is it that I find women attractive who show a knowledge of outer space and who are excited about the science of new discoveries?
Is it because they are the intelligent members of the human race, and they know the importance of such a subject?
Is it because they are the real thinkers and make other topics insignificant?
Perhaps you can explain this feeling.

Too close for comfort
An asteroid flew past us the other day.
It was the size of a pick-up truck and missed the earth by only 240 miles.
In solar system terms, that real close.
I've driven more than that (on Earth) in only 6 hours or so
and I guarantee, the asteroid was traveling a lot faster than 60 miles per hour.
I wonder how long before that one orbits back around.

Here's an interesting video from NASA on close asteroids.
At the time of this video, one was on it's way to be near Earth, but not anywhere as close,
as the one that most recently passed.

Record-setting asteroid zoomed past Earth — missing by just 240 miles, NASA announces

An asteroid the size of a pickup truck flew by Earth last week, setting the record for the closest asteroid to zoom by the planet without hitting it, NASA said.
An asteroid known as 2020 VT4 passed by Earth on Nov. 13, according to the Center for Near-Earth Studies, NASA’s center for monitoring asteroid and comet orbits.
NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System tweeted Monday that the asteroid measured 5-10 meters and was within 240 miles of Earth’s surface.
2020 VT4 is a Near-Earth Object, but isn’t “potentially hazardous” given its size. NASA defines “potentially hazardous” NEOs as those that measure more than 460 feet in diameter and come within 0.05 astronomical units, or about 4.65 million miles.
In August, an SUV-sized asteroid flew 1,830 miles from Earth and was the then-closest asteroid to pass by Earth, McClatchy News reported.

2020 VT4 is a tiny near-Earth asteroid that passed 370 km (230 mi) above Earth's surface on 13 November 2020 at 17:20 UTC. Initially known by its internal designation A10sHcN,?the asteroid was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey at the Mauna Loa Observatory fifteen hours after its closest approach to Earth. The Earth encounter perturbed the asteroid's trajectory from an Earth-crossing Apollo-type orbit to an Aten-type orbit, subsequently reducing the asteroid's heliocentric orbital period from 1.5 years to 0.86 years.
2020 VT4 passed closer to Earth than any known asteroid, except for those that became meteors. It passed closer than 2020 QG and 2011 CQ1, which passed about 3,000 km and 5,500 km from Earth's surface, respectively. Given an estimated absolute magnitude of 28.7, 2020 VT4 is estimated to be around 5 to 10 metres in diameter. Had it impacted Earth, it would mostly disintegrate during atmospheric entry and might leave a common strewn field.

Old photo's
Anyone still have old photo's of themselves ? Or has the digital age ,my cloud etc removed the need for physical prints ...
We can now scan and store everything electronically.
So in 50 years
Money
Books
And much more will become obscure odities much like LP's
8 track tapes
And sending letters through the post...
What do remember from your youth that was cutting edge technology but is now gathering dust in a corner of your storage unit ?
Lol
