That you're a thief causes me no stress nor angst.  Just don't expect me to debate with you over your purloined goods.

No loss. Your idea of debating is changing the subject of a debate to irrelevance.
That is what Nihilists always attempt.

We can take that as racist red copping to his endless thieving.

I think the case is closed now, though the dirty culprit is unlikely to reform his pitiful disgraceful ways.

I'm happy to debate an issue with somebody smart enough to do more than cut and paste it.  You're not that person.

Any debating you would be tantamount to enabling your thievery.   I simply won't do that.

Your utter lack of self knowledge is truly stunning.

That is what Nihilists always attempt.

As is your continuing use of that word when you clearly have no idea what it means.

For some reason I always heard that third line as "Where Mobius still runs crack", which I had a hard time orienting to.

Another day, another tornado bringing death and destruction to Texas.
Trouble with being President for only 4 year terms...you never get time to actually do anything much.
Even if a President tried to implement a scheme to stop loss of life in tornadoes, by the time anything was discussed the 4 years would be up an the President maybe not President anymore.

"Trump's wall" is a perfect example.

Well, then debate the National Review.

Okay. Whatever you say (or what somebody else says). Thief.

And for those who have not seen it, for a 72 year old movie Ace in the Hole is a depressingly relevant and continuingly insightful movie. Billy Wilder was and remains the greatest screenwriter of all time, and my favorite director.

I think Chuck Tatem did his usual good job covering the Titan submarine incident. Pity he was too busy covering the tragic deaths of five rich people to bother with the deaths of 300 impoverished Pakistanis. But then, they were just deportees.

What the attraction is to spend all that money to see a wrecked ship
on the bottom of the ocean is completely beyond me.  And the tragic lose
of life, what a horrible waste.
I have no doubt this will not put an end to these deep-water sight-seeing
trips.  No more than the joy-rides into space.  Space rescues is no doubt
a coming attractions and a thrilling way for billionaires to spend their money.

Yeah that adventure Queen Isabella financed was a bust?

You should ask the indigenous.

Good news:

Climate emergency...is over.
We can all relax now.

She was fifteen.  Teens are prone to hyperbole.  Let's move on.

Actual news is happening.  Wagners are stirring shit in Russia, maybe will get some other former splinters like the Chechens to join up.  My favorite news snip this morning was a report of a Wagner column moving north of Voronezh and some witnesses in a small town said they had stopped to...do some shopping.

The pros use spherical hulls and titanium alloy or high-yield steel alloy.  This guy was a rich idiot who didn't listen to his engineering staff and thought he could cut corners.  Anyone who knows, or is, a cycling enthusiast will tell you that carbon fiber is prone to delamination and sudden shattering.  Using it for deep-sea exploration is borderline insane.   At the least, they needed hull stress checks after the two dozen dives it had already made.  And the viewport was rated for 1300 m. maximum.  Titanic is around 4000 m deep.
