INTERVIEW OF
10
BY LCDR
11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named
17|
Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.
Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Hot take but loving a problematic character doesn't make you a bad person. It's fiction, touch some grass.

One of the ducks is holding a green apple flavored soda bottle and to the right of the ducks is a green & white vending machine filled with different sorts of drinks. To the left of the ducks stands a pole with a crosswalk sign. Beside the vending machine stands a large tree casting shadows over everything below and a lush hydrangea flower bush.
Even when you are just out on a stroll, it’s important to stay hydrated! ✿˖°

Q2: Should the "Jacko" name be mentioned in the lead? (No.)
A2: No. The "Jacko" name should not be mentioned in the lead. Past consensus goes against such inclusion. The name is a derogatory term used primarily by US/UK/Australian tabloids. The slogan is discussed in the relevant section of the article.
Q3: Should the article mention that Jackson reportedly had cancer/blindness/liver disease/AIDS, etc.? (No.)
A3: No. The article should not mention that Jackson reportedly had cancer, blindness, liver disease, AIDS, etc. Until such claims are confirmed by a Jackson representative it will not go in the article at all. These claims are largely fabricated by tabloids.
Q4: Should the article mention that Jackson reportedly had a secret child called Omer Bhatti? (No.)
A4: No. This claim was denied by Bhatti [4] and only a DNA test would resolve the matter.
Q5: Isn't Jackson the seventh child of the Jackson family, not the eighth? (No.)
A5: No. Marlon had a twin, Brandon, who died shortly after birth. This makes Michael the eighth child.
wikipedia editors sometimes make FAQ pages for controversial articles that gets the same complaints over and over and over and i think they're some of the most interesting pages on the entire website!!!

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types
with one sentence per page, like "GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale
Woodchips playgrounds. GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can
get right to the chipping. See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips
workflows." and you get to the bottom and you're like I
want this I guess but I still don't know what
