One of the things that kept me dragging my feet on cutting the cord was cable offered a bunch of history and science channels that I loved to have on in the back ground. Not $10 a day loved but I did enjoy it. Now all these years later, there’s all the history and science you can stream. To the point where they don’t even have enough advertisers to fill the time so they replay a catchy tune for 90 seconds where the commercial should have been.

One of my longest fixations has been with the Titanic sinking. I was drawn to it since the first time I heard of it. Man makes a machine that’s ‘unsinkable’ and nature says ‘hold my drink’. On the maiden voyage and with lots of affluent folks.

I found this article from the BBC that speaks of the scanning they did on the wreckage and with advanced computer modeling, they predicted that the iceberg only opened holes the size of a piece of paper but along 6 of the watertight compartments. It could have survived the flooding of 4. Amazing stuff.
