      It’s like the Titanic, it was doomed the moment someone called it unsinkable. No self-respecting universe would let that slide.

        Fun fact: The “unsinkable” actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)

        damage to Olympic and Hawke - Olympic has a hole in the side of its hull, Hawke's bow has been completely mangled and now looks pug-nosed

        Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.

          Well, and they ran out of the good bolts halfway through building the titanic and they had to use cheaper ones. And the captain thought it was fine to just barrel full steam ahead in a the foggy and icy north Atlantic.

          I’m not sure about how LifeLock operated in the past, but the second they became associated with Norton they became irrelevant. Norton has yet to produce a worthwhile product in any category. At best their services are useless and at worst actively harmful to consumers.

            Merging with Norton was a lateral move, if that helps. And I agree with everything you said about Norton.
