OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Cain]

Sorry to hear that, ECH.

Also, that blog...the comments are amazing.  It's almost like he's considered wrong by everyone outside of his little bubble or something.

Shit, ECH, they're talking about it on CNN right now. Dead body in a survival suit is about the worst thing you can find

Maybe.  Empty survival suits are worse.  In this case, the implication is that the guy had time to get into it.

Maybe someone else had time, too?  Probably not.  But we don't know yet.

Yeah, but the most likely reason for the remains being unidentifiable are that the sailor got into the gumby suit but never got out of the ship, eventually floating free when the ship turned over in its descent somewhere well below crush depth. They've found several empty survival suits. Everyone is still clinging to hope because of the lifeboat that hasn't been found but I'm a realist, my money is on that lifeboat being 15,000 feet underwater still attached to the davits.

  Yeah.  I have a horror of sinking ships, so I always try to look on the bright side.

Ugh. I'm sorry, ECH, that's awful.

I'm just now reading the comments on the other posts and yeah, it's pretty great.

It's pretty much the same treatment he got here, only if everyone here were a foul-mouthed Mainer.

Truth of it is, there's really no good way to die at sea other than having a heart attack asleep in your bunk. But most of the traditional options are awful. So awful that drowning, which is a HORRIBLE way to die, is probably the best of them.

I have to quit smoking pot, so of course my last act as a stoner is going to be taking the biggest dab I can physically take. Like, 30 seconds from now.

I just mention it in case I decide to post something incredibly stupid and incoherent in a minute or two.

So...I did a little research and found that the publisher of the BDN is pretty close to Sen. Collins.  Could explain why they're perfectly happy giving free reign to someone who constantly spouts misinformation.

The more I learn about entropy the less I think of it as a chaos phenomenon.  It's the reason why things happen the way they do.

How are you defining chaos, here?

Randomness I guess.  Been awhile since I've tried to write it down been 10 years since I've had to use thermoscience. Things like crystals don't form against entopy but because of it. They're seeking the lowest energy state and it's less chaotic than before.

Sort of thinking that the universe started as chaos and will end as chaos, but seems to be less so in the middle due to entropy.

Well Meunster is being especially charming today

Just about done prepping the first book of Life During Wartime.  I've edited it, stripped it, and now I have to put the formatting back in.  Call it two hours.  I still need a cover, and maybe a subtitle. 

So I should be able to convert it tonight.

Also, going to add two more chapters to Tales from Fat Ernie's.

I had forgotten how much fun I had with ECH's character in LDW.
