Somebody needs to go back to school. The title should read loses not looses. The Smart Phone is making people dumb.
I see that a lot, in many posts. That makes sense that it's the smart phone taking over.
I'd say it's ironic, not sense. An oxymoron, even.
Maybe it loosened itself? Then it came loose and fell off. But from what I've seen, the compressor assembly probably loosed it on the world.
Some regions outside the US have different spellings.

And semantics. Lose seems to come from the old Norse LOS and meaning something is lost. Loose from the old Norse lauss meaning to set free.

The difference in this case, IMO, is whether the parts were removed inadvertently (lose) or thru the deliberate action of some entity (loose). (limited to the word as a verb)
