    Titanic

    Not the same. This "vessel's" sole purpose was rubbernecking. The "tech" for deep dive vessels exists ( witness the "rescue vessels sent to the scene ), the difference between them and this vessel is that this was a "Rube Goldberg" device, cobbled together to transport rich tourists to a depth...

    Titanic

    They would have enforced an interdiction for this "vessel" ( I use the word loosely ) to dive to the Titanic site how ? Why did they not do so ? They have no enforcement power. They have no navy.

    Titanic

    It was "voyeur tourism" ( visit an underwater mass grave ) , like the people who take selfies at Auschwitz , incomprehensible , to me at least.

    Titanic

    Unfortunately , the reason why so much effort is being made to rescue these 1diots as opposed to the poor people dying weekly in the med, is either (1) because these people could pay the cost of the rescue and not notice it. Either that or (2) rich peoples lives are considered to be worth more (...

    Cornwall is probably more stressful ( due to the tourists, being in the UK, whatever.. ) to a hen than Kilkenny, plus we had cows, sheep, horse, donkeys,ducks, geese ( and turkeys at xmas ). the mix..and the greenest of grass*, is calming. Visit Ireland ( The Republic , Eire ) outside of Dublin...

    Too late.The children, and Paul..were startled. Chickens ( and many other things, including us ( sort of , ish ) ) are small descendants of dinosaurs..thus act like them. farm life with livestock is a lot redder than people think.

    Myriad of things one used / uses it for on farms ( well we did on our farm..SE Ireland ) The Birch version was / is used aswell..the smell of it was what gave rise to the smell of waterproofed leather goods from Russia, and which a soap manufacturer claimed that their soap smelled like.
