* PAUL-HENRI NARGEOLET. The 77-year-old French explorer, whom media say is one of the five on board, is director of underwater research at a company that owns the rights to the Titanic wreck. A former commander in the French Navy, he was both a deep diver and a mine sweeper. After retiring from the navy, he led the first recovery expedition to the Titanic in 1987 and is a leading authority on the wreck site. In a 2020 interview with France Bleu radio, he spoke of the dangers of deep diving, saying: "I am not afraid to die, I think it will happen one day."

Stockton Rush is what you name a tycoon in a children's movie. No way that's a real guy.

They'll also allow trusts to vote and there aren't nearly as many fees for those. Trusts can be created solely to own a physical object, common with machine gun owners, so you could buy a box of pencils and set up a trust for each of them.

Seaford Delaware has a huge scrapple festival every Fall and all the local Delaware politicians compete in a contest to see who can throw a package of scrapple the furthest

The politico who has the most reach gets a trophy and everything

They also help you reheat the healthy leftovers you made earlier in the week.
The first time I ever lived without a microwave I made the amazing discovery that they're not even that good for reheating stuff. Especially not the way most people do it: 2 minutes on high so you get really hot bits and bits that are still cold. If you use the lower power settings and a longer time you get better results, but still not as good as if you'd used a stove or oven - and then it's not even any quicker.

The one advantage is that you can reheat stuff without paying attention to it. You can put your food in the microwave and walk away. It is more convenient in that way. But that's still not a good enough reason to own a microwave.

Yeah no poo poo microwaves suck if you use them poorly and for tasks they're bad at.

I cook pasta sauce in my pressure cooker and the spaghetti in the microwave, because microwaves are real good at heating water and spaghetti doesn't care how the water got hot.

No, it's dangerous to microwave a cup of water. Put the tea bag in first, so the water boils properly.
