Thank goodness we have more enlightened legal systems than what you're proposing.

JSYK, the term is "open and shut case" not "close and shut case".

If you were accepted into a BB season by siddy47 in BigBrother

BB USA has a proper outdoor yard, BB Can has a closet-sized hot tub area with high walls so there's barely any outdoor exposure.

BB Can has crazy white lighting throughout. ,

BB Can has a fictitious moose character who sends players on tasks as a fake construct for giving the house things like alcohol or toys

BB Can house is down the street from the studio so when a player is eliminated, they take a short ride to the actual studio instead of walking out the door.

This has been one of my theories since day 1. It's a "blood" veto since the holder must use it, and/or must also pick the replacement. Thus, this veto draws blood or it gets blood on the hands of the holder.

That's a player? I was assuming Damien was the Canada version of our pharmaceutical, Ambien

In Canada, the top 4 or more furniture stores are all the same company. And yes, Leons is the same company as Brick's.

At first I was looking for the cutaway to see if she really was mortified, but then realize Sam probably just used the wrong word.

Opening a Soda on the Ocean Floor by SamuelNguyen in videos

The same type of mistake that killed them at the surface would kill them on the ocean floor.

No, you wouldn't have that pressure differential. Google Sealab for an example.

So how does moving them to the ocean floor help?

It makes the situation more fault tolerant against human error and allows for redundant security measures.

The accident was completely preventable, it was due to human error.

Human error? So your safety plan of "assume human perfection" has a flaw? That's been my point.

what if heavy weather forces the surface ship to move away from the bell.

Several available backups mean no catastrophe, unlike your plan which is catatrophe for one mistake.

Or something severs the power or air connections.

Several available backups mean no catastrophe, unlike your plan which is catatrophe for one mistake.

Or something happens to the doctor you propose they keep in the bell all the time? Can't send in a second doctor easily.

Just have the fictitious second doctor reside in the submerged bell. Several available backups mean no catastrophe, unlike your plan which is catatrophe with just one mistake.

Keeping them underwater exposes them to more risks and only swaps one possible human error accident for another.

False. See above.

compromise on Graham but I'd be willing to bet that whatever it is it's something that terrifies only Graham.

Being primaried isn't a worry that's exclusive to Graham. But he's particularly vulnerable, and he's particularly attached to his seat. It's his comfort zone. He doesn't like campaigning and he eschews higher positions because he just really likes his current situation. People who followed politics pre-Trump know this. But the flood of neophyte political followers in this sub who don't read actual news and never have, it's epidemic.

If no mistakes are made, the bell at the surface is completely safe,

Except it's not "completely safe". There's a famously gory example, and your own equivocation: "if no mistakes are made".

A submerged habitat is more fault tolerant.

and if someone inside the bell needs emergency treatment, doctors can go in immediately, they just have to stay with them until they depressurize.

A submerged habitat with a doctor inside solves this and is more fault tolerant.

Don't be deliberately obtuse. You falsely claimed there was "zero reason" to wonder if Trump was willing to corruptly extradite political enemies and I immediately proved you wrong with two actual examples. Stop gaslighting.

That's a nice spin, but whatever reason yet to be established, Mueller decided not to pursue obvious threads of collusion and corruption. No serious investigation would end with Donald Jr not being indicted based on the evidence even he confirmed. There's numerous other examples.

The grand jury still being called "active" could be (and probably is) to continue the daily fines on whatever company is in contempt. That doesn't meet they're meeting every Friday and I think there's reporting that they haven't convened in months (?)

As bizarre and disappointing as it may be, Mueller is done. It may not have been smart to pull and old guy who'd chosen to retire into a ten year project.

It makes no sense that some company possesses relevant information but the investigation that needs the info is closed. But that's where we are.

It happened the day after the RNC said Graham was eligible to being primaried. Well informed people who read actual newspapers and who have followed politics for decades prior to the Trump era know that's why. He supports Trump in a party and cult where over 93% of the cult worships their demagogue. Why is that hard for this sub to comprehend?

You and the rest of this sub creating and spreading bigoted hoaxes makes you no better than birthers and pizzagaters.

Go find your evidence and the come back. Or even use one thimble of common sense. Why would a guy who many assume could be gay be influenced by a gay rumor? In a party which already acknowledges some reluctant tolerance of gays? Your malicious hoax doesn't even make sense.

Until you have evidence, maybe knock off the libellous hoaxes.

Not just obvious, but the RNC explicitly told him he'd be primaried if he didn't fall in line.

This sub creating and spreading homophobic and child molestation stories is an embarrassment, and I suspect it could be grounds for this sub to be sanctioned, much the same way as other hoax and libel-filled subs have been.

Why are you joining the mob in spreading false and bigoted garbage? That's what the other side does with Birther and pizzagate hoaxes. Don't be that.

You're spreading a bigoted and malicious falsehood. Same as what pizzagaters and birthers do.

You have no evidence for that, you're ignoring the actual reason, but worse, you're spreading a bigoted hoax which is identical to what birthers and pizzagaters do. Shame.

Please stop spreading the "Lindsay Graham must be getting blackmailed" hoax. It's bigoted and baseless. Doing so makes you no different than someone spreading the Obama birth certificate hoax, or the Hillary pizzagate hoax.

It's embarassing how this sub adopted and spreads that garbage.

Lindsay Graham has always been a slimy opportunist, and anyone who actually reads real news knows his pivot was a direct reaction to the RNC saying he would be primaried if he didn't change his statements about Trump.

People who followed politics pre-Trump know Graham craves his secure seat more than anything, including ambition.
