The Trieste dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench were able to use voice communications from the sea floor. Should be possible from Titanics depths then, seeing as Mariana’s is 3x deeper. Assuming the sub hasn’t already imploded, that is.


They’re saying they might pass 14 days since purchase if the download wastes their time to test it on the free night.


I read it more as you undo their last move and your last move. Then you can replay and hopefully not fall into the same trap.


The point is it’s incredibly hard to get the the good work. It’s not bad, if you can survive the insane competition. Which most, by definition, cannot.


I disagree with your premise. There’s masterful tech docs and terrible fan fiction. Comparing one to a barn and the other to Van Gogh is meaningless.


I don't have a premise other than, "these things are not alike; this article equivocates on 'writing'."

I make no claim about whether nor not tech docs can be masterful. It's weird of you to go in this direction?


I wouldn’t compare technical writing and fiction writing as painting a barn to painting a Van Gogh. It’s a bit hyperbolic. There’s masterfully written technical docs and terrible Sherlock Holmes erotica. I wouldn’t compare the Holmes Erotica to Van Gogh.


I buy my 2Ls for $1 on sale. $30 a month for pop is very affordable. RE your health; the components of diet pop are some of the most studied and consumed chemicals and sweeteners on the planet. The worst thing it’ll do is possibly wear your tooth enamel. So, I’d say it’s fine for their health and wallet.


Machine wash hot or cold is fine for merino. It’s the drying on anything but low heat that ruins it.


Yeah, this blog post is mostly opinionated drivel mixed with false statements. Not based on facts at all. It’s like the author chose to talk about something they knew nothing about and didn’t even bother to do real research.


Seems highly opinionated and not based on fact. IE a typical low quality blog post.

Plus, most people don’t wear 100p merino. It’s usually a blend with other materials to help combat the so called “problems” described.

My blended, mostly merino hiking socks are incredibly soft while still being incredibly durable and quick drying. Also prevent blisters unlike anything else.

In a nutshell, this post is mostly drivel.
