A Little Of This, A Little Of That...

Titanic Survey Expedition

While there are plenty of shipwrecks worthy of exploration, few are as iconic as that of the RMS Titanic. After over a century of exposure to everything that depths have to offer, the wreck is deteriorating at a rapid pace. In an effort to explore, chronicle and study the massive wreck before it's gone forever, OceanGate is launching a series of week-long expeditions in 2021.

Of course it's funny, but it is also a sad commentary on the politicization of science and public health. I wonder how many people are dead because Rachel Carson, a profoundly evil woman, decided to write a pop science book and lie to the world?

In my youth I had a girlfriend who was a skater, and she told me that during competitions they would put Vaseline on their teeth so that they could smile in spite of the dry air in the arena.

That sounds...unpleasant.

Anyone smoke flavored cigars, or cigarellos, or whatever those things are called? The ad calls them cigarettes, but I don't know about that. I like cigars on occasion, but have never tried a flavored one. I suspect that it is like flavored coffee, an acquired taste.
