    I Remembered What I Hate About Cycling.

    Get the right saddle adjusted correctly and the issue goes away completely.

    New Commissioned Table Pipe

    I'm intrigued with the idea, curious to hear how it smokes. Would be convenient as a desk pipe while working.

    Best with Coffee...

    KBV Burley Morning Pipe, or Boswells Northwoods are my go to blends to pair with a good cup of coffee.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Strange New Worlds has been pretty good so far, they don't seem to be casting and writing to an agenda to please every possible special interests group. Discovery felt like the writers and directors had a diversity checklist that they had to complete as part of the series and it took away from...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    You are right, at least they have closure. Lost at sea is an ending that has no closure, they know definitively that while they are gone they are not lost and they do not need to hold out for the slim chance that they will be found. Nothing about this is easy for them, but this is easier than...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    What happens to the bodies when a ship or submarine is sunk is vastly different than what happens to a body when a submarine implodes. When a submarine implodes the cracks that propagate through the hull do so at the speed of sound in whatever material the hull is comprised of and the interior...

    Two Power Crazed Multi Billionaires will Cage Fight: Why?

    Hmmm I know that Zuck trains in MMA, or at least has photo ops on him "training". Not so sure about Musk .. weight and reach vs training, could be an interesting fight if they go through with it... But then again there is the Mike Tyson quote of " everybody had a plan till they get punched in...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    I'm betting they had them pulled on day one standing by for this moment ..

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    I'm sure it was captured on their super robust data logging system that sure was part of the build...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    We do know that it is a relatively new submersible that was designed with checking the box for "not designed by a 50 year old white guy" as part of the design criteria. And wise decisions were made like, not having a wired control backup and relying on a Bluetooth game controller as primary...

    Suggestions for the Gettysburg area?

    I wouldn't waste the time going to Christie's. Tried two blends from them recently and they are ones I am not likely to even finish.

    Wasn't sure, no context with the link.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    At least they died doing something they were excited about and presumably enjoying until that last instant. Rest in peace, and may your loss prove to have some purpose.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Explosive decompression is pretty much the opposite of what happened to the people on the submersible, horrific and instantaneous, but in the opposite direction...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Of the choices of how to die in a submersible, sudden catastrophic implosion is at the top of my list. You would never know what happened unless there were warning cracks that led to it. Even then the actual end would be instantaneous.

    Suggestions for the Gettysburg area?

    Boswells Pipes and Cigars is about 30 minutes away in Chambersburg PA and is a great shop.

    How Long Do Aros Keep Their Taste?

    Has anybody done any experimenting with vacuum sealing them with oxygen absorbers? In theory it should greatly slow down the changes over time.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Which regulatory body is it that licenses and inspects submarines intended to be operated in international waters by privately owned companies?
