I suspect they imploded.

These super deep subs are traditionally not reused very long, because the stress of the water pressing and then releasing weakens them. The more compression-decompression cycles they take the faster they degrade.

From all the reports, they got a lot of reports of issues that they ignored. I read that one of the reporters who saw it found it to be very jury rigged together. Apparently it was not certified in any way.

Even if they did survive and the ballast worked correctly, they would surface quickly (decompression sickness?) and cannot open the hatch from the inside. The thing doesn't float above the water, so its going to be a pain to find. Also they didn't paint it bright orange with blinking lights, its white, gray, and blue.

Overall, a lot of poor decisions and ignoring advice lead to disaster.

It's a fundraiser likely for an after school program. It typically pays out a lot better than a car wash or brat fry. Typically the students run orders out to cars.

And yeah, we probably should put more funding into schools for stuff like this instead of asking kids to fundraise.

I blame the touchscreen first ideology. Give em some physical buttons that you can feel without taking your eyes off the road.

That and the sheer power can make accidents happen faster than you can react.

Unless you have been locked in a sensory deprivation tank for your whole life, and have independently developed the English language, you too have learned from other people's content.

While they could have snugged them in, they do need the ability to park them somewhere while shopping. One option is in the road, like the white van. Or put up some bike racks to guide parking. This is poor city planning.

Yeah, it seems Google is way more open to side loading and fdroid existing. Not sure how Apple got away with it when they are so much more restrictive.

Can this ruling be used in the future against Apple?

Idk, but it's such a COD player thing to do.

He's probably camping in the back getting kills but not helping his team play the objective. As is tradition.

Works great in Ubuntu.

My guess is Microsoft doesn't like it because Google came up with it. Ms has had some issues with recognizing open formats before. Could be you are using old versions of apps too.

Low population areas do to. But you don't have public transit so as long as you don't wander into their meth labs you never have to meet them.

There was a ceasefire, then Hamas attacked. Hard to rebuild trust after that.

It's an ok game.

Had a few plot points in the UC quest line that were cool. I liked that zero g casino fight.

Inventory management was shit, but that's pretty common to the creater.

Base building didn't really interest me in Fallout 4, and didn't do much for me here either. The crafting was weird. I don't like using my combat feats to make better sandwiches.

The ship customization was cool, but since you are just jumping to your destination it didn't matter much for my playthrough.

The proc gen planets were predictably empty feeling. I was worried about that after they said they were putting 1000 in. No way they could hand generate enough content to fill that, which was their strength in The Elder Scrolls.

I suspect they got caught up in the No Man's Sky hype and forgot to use their core strengths. Combine this with not enough innovation on their weaknesses and it was mid.

If they would have done an Expanse scale game, set within our solar system, where you had 2 large terrestrial planets, a number of asteroid bases, and kept their scale in check they may have been able to pull it off. But it felt just too stretched out.

I think that 7/10 review guy was right.

It's not a principled stance, it's simple economics.

They already take 30 percent of sales.

It is a benefit to them to put whatever will guarantee more sales, and a couple cents from an ad impression is just going to get in the way of that goal.

The funny thing is that it is the Apple phones making it worse intentionally.

Trump is not very coherent either if you have listened to his speeches. Would be nice to see some young blood in there.

Or that time when he threatened to blow us Kid Cudi's car, then someone blew up Kid Cudi's car? Sounds like there needs to be some more investigation here.

The Australians have a cardboard kamikaze drone. The hard part would be sourcing enough electronics in a warzone.
