I like the not infrequent, JayJuanGee "Sucks to be uie-pooie, no?" <lots of emojis> posts. Quick question (because it's been buggin' me for years).... how exactly does one pronounce "JayJuanGee"? (Having said that, how does one pronounce 95% of the strange usernames in this here famous thread?) I'm thinking "JaWONjee"....but what do I know? (besides the latest fart joke) This is the WOb, after all.

Wow. I thought my recall was slow when it took a day or two to recall an old acquaintance's name.
Well at least you recalled it. He was probably in a coma, you know, one of those comas where you forget your past habits and wake up speaking a different language. Happens all the time.
On the contrary, I wake up totally sane and sober knowing my past habits and all the nonsense I posted the night before, and then immediately go into panic, delete mode. .... Thanks for reminding me how hostile this place is though.
That's what makes this thread so appealing though, dunnit? No wonder why all the old users left.
How do you know they left? Lurkers abound my friend, like yours truly. To wit, I lurk and left ...well more left than most folks in here anyway. But occasionally, I do lambaste this here famous thread with ot drunken drivel, fake art, and terrible tracks of home made asinine audio, and the occasional fart joke, diligently deleted the next day when I come to my senses. GO BITCOIN ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F14%2Fsirazbtcsigd8408a83f1176095.png&t=663&c=o9VkF6v8iRRVKA)

O/T. Anyone been watching the black mirror series? Just caught up on season 6. This sort of stuff is right up my street. Love it. First episode of season 6 even has Selma Hayak in it!
Big fan. Have binged every season/episode since it started. Great stuff.

.... I made out bigly on that Binance flash pump. My 10 doggie doo coins multiplied 10x. I immediately filled out appropriate paperwork to have them cashed out and have the evil fiat deposited in my criminal bankster account. Yes, I kyc'ed myself and now my life is ruined, but I think it was well worth the effort. After all, I got a free six pack out of the deal. Now I gotta work on making sure those scamming bastard Ledger folks don't make off with all my remaining riches of various other airdropped shitcoins and the like. <BATSLAPPENING>
Oh gawd... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I did a quick search and did not find .. I only found this: https://www.binance.us/spot-trade/doge_usdtso I am not sure what you are talking about. I saw that DGB did more than a 10x.. https://www.binance.us/spot-trade/dgb_usdtFuck shitcoins... While we are at it... fuck ledger as well... get yourself some other device.. at least for your bitcoin.. and if you want to hold shitcoins on ledger, then whatever, do what you like... ..... Oh c'mon bro!... after 8 plus years of my silliness on this thread and you are still taking me seriously when I post crap like that? Its called satire

https://youtu.be/WYJZ_oJdNX0^THIS^ Millions of clickbait vids on this tragedy because of course there is. Now it's over, this one is my sentiments exactly. 15 minutes long so it pushes the bounds of attention span, but I highly recommend it.

OT:
The survival chances for Tinan's passengers are a mere 1%, and even if they are located, the likelihood increases only to 15%.
We currently lack the capability to rescue anyone in such a scenario.
That makes me wonder are we ready for the space exploration? How can we venture into the vast unknown when we haven't fully explored our own backyard?
Don't mix up exploration and tourism. Tourist….”I want to get locked inside a metal cylinder and plopped to the ocean floor 12000 feet deep under immense pressure with virtually no communication and a limited oxygen supply.” OceanGate Expeditions …”Sure, that will be $250,000 please. Sign these waivers because you might die. Why do you want to do it anyway?” Tourist….”I want to desecrate the Titanic gravesite and take pictures for my Instagram so I can get lots of likes. What could possibly go wrong?”

O/T Article from 2020 OceanGate raises $18M to build a bigger submersible fleet and set up Titanic tripshttps://www.geekwire.com/2020/oceangate-raises-18m-build-bigger-submersible-fleet-get-set-titanic-trips/OceanGate will take advantage of lessons learned during the construction of its carbon-hulled Titan submersible, which was originally built for Titanic journeys. Rush said tests that were conducted at the Deep Ocean Test Facility in Annapolis, Md., revealed that the Titan’s hull “showed signs of cyclic fatigue.” As a result, the hull’s depth rating was reduced to 3,000 meters.
“Not enough to get to the Titanic,” Rush said.
That meant the Titanic trips — which had been planned at first for 2018, then 2019, then 2020 — had to be put off until mid-2021. By that time, Rush expects the new submersibles to be ready to enter service. He said mission specialists who have paid more than $100,000 each to participate in the Titanic expeditions were “generally supportive but disappointed” by the delay.
It takes 2 1/2 hrs to reach the 3,800 metre depth where the Titanic lies. Comms were lost 1 hour 45 mins into the dive. So the sub would have been around 2,700 metre depth. Very close to that 3,000 metre maximum depth rating! The fact that the 2021 and 2022 Titan expeditions went well seems to be just luck. The last expedition to the wreck of the Titanic with a sub that had the proper depth rating was in 2019 (a sub called Limiting Factor - which is rated at 11km! depth). The Mir submersibles used by James Cameron 33 times had a rating of 6km. There were never new subs built by OceanGate, it ignored the depth limit due to the fatigue. Stockton Rush appears to be was a complete idiot and a murderer. 4 eye rolls for the other passengers / pilot. RIP. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) …safely diving to the Titanic wreckage site… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi60tvRwRlEOne thing for sure, those poor souls did indeed have the true Titanic experience and then some.

To be fair, reading it all from the start is an impossible endeavor.

Agreed...like reading "War and Peace" in a single sitting would be small potatoes in comparison.
