In 1915 he would prolly have been drinking Chateau Margaux 1900, or maybe even some from the 1890s. Primo stuff.

You suck at philosphy.
I'm not condoning driving drunk. I'm condemning all types of distracted driving.
.10 is 13x more dangerous than a good sober driver.
<.099 is 7x more dangerous than a sober good driver.
Bad driving record sober drivers are 3x more dangerous than good sober drivers.

Texting, drowsy, angry, drivers conversing with their passengers or listening intently to a call or radio program are as equally dangerous as drinking drivers.

In other words -
If you are in a car and doing anything other than intently driving the car ONLY, you are as dangerous as anyone below .10 BAC that has been drinking.
Basically, driving while human is always dangerous.
DUI carries a larger social stigma and legal penalty because it is easier to prove and fewer people do it than people who talk in their cars.
There is 0 chance that everyone who drives in this forum have never driven tired, distracted, or been social while driving. The holier than thou attitude is not supported by statistics. The fact is that humans are not equipped to drive cars safely. Iowa fans driving their families home after a loss while listening to Soundoff doubly so. Let's stop throwing stones from glass houses.

Guy went to jail locally that picked up his phone before smashing a car and killing an 11 year old. Distracted driving is terrible. There are people who are drunk driving and kill someone and don't go to jail.
Unfortunately, autonomous vehicles aren't quite up to snuff. The world will be a much safer place when they are.

The Indianapolis was sunk by multiple torpedeos, but it had already delivered the atomic bombs to Tinion Island.
Think of how world history might have changed if the ship still had the bombs on board.

or otherwise impaired?
Finally, someone got it.
There are some people who know they have had a few drinks so they block out all the distractions and focus more on driving. Then there are people who have had a few drinks and become even more distracted. That's more grey area on how dangerous driving after a few drinks is.

I've always wondered why it's acceptable to throw a burning object (cigarette) out of your car.

Jackson and Lattimore will be suspended a game or two. Weed was mentioned as a reason why, but others said for something else.

Wait. What? In between the statistical barrage, equivalences and history lessons in this thread, this little nugget is thrown out there. Do tell.
Well pfff…. If they are all out for the first game that can be all it'd take to lose a game to Northern IL or even ISU if these two guys get more... The one thing this team can't have is attrition of any kind...

He was certainly carrying some important cargo.
May have been a different story when he pulled into port.

Except that the Indy wouldnt have been running unescorted in those waters on a straight line. Friend of mine is a survivor one of 13. Dude still drives. If what you propose had hsppened my dad would have been in the invasion and maybe that would be one less to argue with Fryowa.

Probably would have just had another ship bring Little Boy #2 and Fat Man #2

the extras didn't exist and wouldn't have for some time.

They didn't exist because they were assembled on site. We didn't have a stockpile available but had massive resources designated for their production. If by "some time" you mean a few weeks then yes, we are in agreement. The transport of the third bomb was delayed by General Marshall and General Grove and would have been available for deployment ~ August 21st.
