Do liberals ever stop lying?

Thanks, I’ll be here all week!
Try the ribeye steak 🥩!!
Yeah but he got rid of the big wife and got one that occupies less space
He should sue them
It is amazing how lying leftist a-holes mange to dominate 90% of public facing entities. Even so called fact checkers who MSM refer to are some of the worst of the propagandists.
Nor is starlink even capable of functioning 12500 under water. Or even 12.5 feet underwater
Isn’t Elon one of those 50(ish) old guys the CEO hated?
I’m blaming Reagan. I mean, the original Titanic wreckage was found in 1985, on his watch. If it hadn’t been discovered, this billionaire guy wouldn’t have founded his company and led people to their deaths.
Yup. Carbon fiber is an extremely strong material. Until it isn’t. From strong to failure happens in the blink of an eye.
He was in the Navy during WW1. And thanks to him, not a single German U-Boat got past Waukegan.
“it was made out of carbon fiber composite”
That’s what I don’t get. Wouldn’t carbon fiber composite be better suited for keeping something CONTAINED under pressure so that the carbon fiber would be under tension? Not the other way around?
Who reads Snopes anymore?
Carbon Fiber is a great composite material, but it’s strength is limited. I would trust it to make a bicycle, but I would not trust it to build a rocket ship out of. It’s great for car frames, but not so hot for tanks.
Within its range, it’s great material. If he was still going to build his sub out of carbon fiber, he would have been better off to divide its structural structure by 5 and figure out how deep he can take it at that point, instead of assuming he would be safe at 2.5 times the strength of the expected atmospheres.
He could have then plowed his profits into creating a real sub that can withstand the pressure of 500 atmospheres by a factor of 5 or 10.

A complete lack of honesty makes a Snopes’ ruling impossible to believe. On any subject.
I love that guy.
Man, I wish there were more of these guys.
I didn’t know anyone relied on snopes after it faked stories to support John z Kerry’s stolen valor
Things don’t talk under the sea at the depth without a cable. To even suggest this was a satellite link is perhaps the dumbest thing ever.
I can’t vouch for the veracity of it but I heard somewhere that a signal from Starlink could only penetrate 8 cms of water. ie 3.1 inches.
Sounds about right to me.
“Wasn’t Snopes started by a couple of old liberal hacks that had nothing better to do?”
yep, and they named the site after their cat ... AND they got into a nasty public divorce fight after their website achieved a spot of fame ...
