Definitely not the first. It’s only like five people, big f’ing deal, bigger disasters every single day. Agitated by the amount of “news” coverage dedicated to it.


Yeah, extremely overblown story for the level of importance. Random people at the gym were talking about it yesterday. It’s replaced the weather as the number one topic of conversation amongst strangers.

athletes, especially runners and cyclists love ketone drinks and swear by them
it's a popular sports beverage that promises to improve performance
but a medical study shows that it doesn't work
the message - don't look to athletes for great nutritional advice

what you say is true but I can relate to all the attention it gets

it's like - you imagine yourself being in that sub - and knowing you're going to die soon and waiting for it to happen - and imagining how horrible your particular type of death will be - running out of air - and hoping against hope that someone will save you

it's terrifying to think about it

Do you think they may have started killing each other to preserve more oxygen? That’s what people were speculating about at the gym yesterday.

Sounds like you might have found the future potential murderer at your gym.

In other morbid speculation the twin towers were only 130ft apart. There was a delay before the second plane. I imagine most everyone in the currently unhit tower running to the windows to look at the other tower burning. Maybe some ran for the stairwell or elevator, but I imagine many went to the windows.

Body double comes to mind.

Anytime a billionaire is involved, it changes everything.


If so, there should be a large insurance policy.

Similar to the Twin Towers and the buildings themselves' insurance policies.


Also, like JD Tippit in Dallas.

Conversation often gets weird in the steam room.

A soldier and his girl friend went to an electronic music festival at George in the gorge and after taking magic mushrooms he decided the world was ending so he started shooting people.

I don''t see this helping the chances of decriminalizing the use of magic mushrooms.

Lots of people get shot after drinking is involved. I hope they consider that.
