I don’t care what anyone says (or what the “official” numbers claim), food prices are up 2-3x since the start of the pandemic. I know Starbucks (which no one actually needs) is not the best exemplar, but as another data point pre-Covid I could often walk out of the supermarket with enough food for two people a week for $100.

Now, roughly that same amount of money is only enough to provide two-ish days of sustenance. The inflation numbers are basically fake.

The implosion of the Titan submarine (OceanGate) was so rapid that the pain wasn’t even registered by the brain. They didn’t feel anything at all. Utterly instantaneous.

Correct.

Using standard fluid dynamics equations (Bernoulli) to determine inrush velocity, water would accelerate into the void of the submersible at approximately 260 meters per second. Given the approximate size of the sub, the time to close the void would be around 2.7ms.

Standard minimum neural response time to any stimuli to have it register consciously is ~100ms.

Those people were all dead (converted to goo, essentially) long before they even realized anything had occurred.

Philosophy, political and social, has been focused on demonstrating the exceptions to disprove the rules.
