Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Even just putting the echo bosses back in so we have something strong to use our overpowered toys on would have been enough I think

I can't wait for him to *not* use charter ships as he goes through the rest of the questline and go through arandar pass every time. At least he caught that dialogue so he didn't do 300000 underground pass runs

Well that's gridmaster for me. Fun for a few days, and i might use my fancy new toys a bit tomorrow, but then it's back to the chambers grind in main. It was almost too fast, made most drops not matter at all, which made kills less fun than in leagues with similar power. Overall OK. #osrs

It's also the place to go for soul wars when you wanna imbue a slayer helm

I went to school for aerospace engineering so I'd probably be getting paid to build weapons. Maybe the oil industry, who knows

You can throw the eggs at people and if they have empty hands the egg will end up in their hand, so people are throwing them at the bots and they aren't programmed to remove them

Whenever I put numbers to a grind (especially raid drops) I immediately regret it for reasons like this =.=

happened and, importantly, why did I care at all? I guess it's just human nature to put more stock in the first thing you see, which probably drives almost all discourse like this among those who aren't already tribally aligned with/against the subject of the controversy, and that terrifies me.

The part of this whole thing that scares me the most is how I found myself more resistant to counter-claims than I was to the initial claim. I took the livestreamfails post at face value, but any refutation I was more skeptical. Eventually I realized this and decided I have no idea what actually ...

After rs3 leagues I've come back around to region locking as a league staple. Limiting what you have access to makes it a lot easier to pick activities/tasks. Now that we also have un-restricted events like gridmaster, it works well as a defining feature of leagues imo
