Just because you commodify and make routine extremely risky endeavors does not mean you should. That goes for space tourism as well.

So it turns out the Reddit lockdown was caused by exactly what you imagine it was: The dumbass Reddit CEO wanted to emulate Musk. In response to the protest, he forced some reddits to open back up, which in response a bunch of them are just posting sexy John Oliver photos

The minimum age without parental consent is 18 and 16 with parental consent which is pretty much in line with the rest of the country. https://www.findlaw.com/state/alabama-law/alabama-marriage-age-requirements-laws.html e: I grew up in Alabama and it's a plenty backwards state with many problems but it irks me when people assume it's completely backwards in every way. That's Mississippi.

Hey, I know you grew up there, and have strong emotional ties to the state and all, but your from the second worst loving state we have in the union. I mean, when your behind the Dakota’s, Carolina’s and the loving Virginia’s just don’t defend it. Like the Taliban, you do not in fact have to hand it to Alabama. You are correct that Mississippi is worse. My wife went to Ole Miss a lifetime ago, and holy butt loving poo poo does Mississippi suck. Makes Alabama look like loving Switzerland. But never forget, Alabama is just the second rung on a very long ladder of lovely states.  ’Murica!

The comment is the best part "Marriage under 16 is voidable, not void. Marriage between 16 and 18 without parental consent is not grounds for annulment." Oh you need parental consent *wink wink* Dude. Alabama sucks. Georgia sucks. Most of the Southern States (which I grew up in as well) suck as far as female rights. You don't have to defend Alabama.

96 hours supposedly (of which maybe 18 are gone)? A few possibilities: It's caught on the wreck or lost propulsion and settled on the bottom, but is otherwise functional. Probably the only scenarios from which an alive recovery is possible. It lost power, in which case air supply and hypothermia are likely to become issues quickly. It's only just above freezing down there. It imploded, in which case there may not be much to recover. Not sure we've had any other occasion in history to recover human remains following deep-sea implosion but it's a pretty violent process. Good news is you're supposedly unconstituted faster than your nerves can process the information.

I would not trust a for profit endeavor to install the number of redundancies I would want to feel safe using a private submarine that wasn't repurposed from the Navy Fleet. I hope those people are OK. All of the loss of power/propulsion drills had scary as poo poo immediate actions

I think most submersibles have an emergency function where it dumps ballast and automatically floats back to the surface. If that's not enough then it's probably the kind of accident where your lifespan is measured in fractions of a second. But who knows how it works on a shithead VC techbro deathtrap, it's entirely possible they're just sitting down there slowly freezing to death.

Yeah, I would think that you would want at least a single emergency blow procedure, a backup blow procedure, a secondary means of controlling your planes, a manual means of controlling your planes, and a backup propulsion method on anything that's going deeper than 30 feet or so.

Supposedly the sub will automatically drop its ballast after 24 hours. The follow up question to that would be if something has gone wrong and the pilot is still conscious, why was it not done immediately? Or was it, but the sub is entangled or the ballast didn't drop cleanly? I guess in a best case scenario the thing will bob up sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning and someone aboard can answer that question. The article above makes a big deal out of this particular sub's ballast being surplus steel pipes or whatever. They obviously fit the requirement of being heavy but I wonder if they did test drops with the sub in odd attitudes, like, I dunno, maybe if it was tangled on a wreck? IIRC the Trieste used iron balls held up by an electromagnet. If the sub lost power, the magnet would switch off and the balls would drop. Out of the sub. Stop being juvenile.
