Here we are touching noses..though I angled my phone wrong so my nose is missing. She lives next to my 3D printer and keeps an eye on those 12hr prints when I'm not home to make sure it doesn't burn the house down.

Some of those Asian women sound tasty. I've got 1 or 2 of them excited a few times thinking they got a sale but it always end with "fuck your cunt of a mother" when they figure out I'm just wasting their time. I didn't think nice Indo/Paki women spoke like that.

Makes sense, back in those days the loss of life wouldn't have been a big factor vs getting the insurance money and keeping the company afloat...if you'll pardon the pun.

"Many people have a fascination with the Titanic but not many people know Titanic had 2 twin sister ships that met the same fate..all made by the same company “White Star Line”…"
There is a conspiracy theory that the Titanic didn't actually sink and it was in fact the sister ship (The Olympic) that sunk...
Olympic was the slightly older sister of Titanic, built alongside the more famous vessel but launched in October 1910. Her exterior profile was nearly identical to Titanic, save for minor details such as the number of portholes on the forward C decks of the ships, the spacing of the windows on the B decks, and the forward section of the A deck promenade on Titanic that had been enclosed only a few weeks before she set sail on her ill-fated maiden voyage. Both ships were built with linoleum floors, but shortly before she was due to set sail J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, inexplicably ordered the floors aboard Titanic carpeted over.
On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in the Brambles Channel in Southampton Water while under the command of a harbour pilot. The two ships were close enough to each other that Olympic's motion drew the Hawke into her aft starboard side, causing extensive damage to the liner – both above and below her waterline (HMS Hawke was fitted with a re-inforced 'ram' below the waterline, purposely designed to cause maximum damage to enemy ships). An Admiralty inquiry assigned blame to the Olympic, despite numerous eyewitness accounts to the contrary.
Gardiner's theory plays out in this historical context. Olympic was found to be at blame in the collision (which, according to Gardiner, had damaged the central turbine's mountings and bent the keel, giving the ship a slight permanent list to port). Because of this finding, White Star's insurers Lloyd's of London allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. White Star's flagship would also be out of action during the extensive repairs, and the Titanic's completion date, which was already behind schedule due to Olympic's return to the yard after her loss of a propeller blade, would have to be delayed. All this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company. Gardiner proposes that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic.
