He's not actually saying it was unprofitable either, just that it sounds like the sort of thing that probably wouldn't make all that much money.

It’s so great and not at all infuriating that a big podcaster and a presidential candidate are complacent in the harassment of a random doctor. Some dumbass antivaxxers can “just ask questions” all they want, but God forbid they get any pushback.

Now that you mention it, none of the supposed legal ventures that the Tate Bros. are involved in sound like they would make all that much money.

Yeah if you look at any of the many interviews where Tate basically admitted to running a human trafficking ring he quit the cam girl business because it wasn't profitable enough but then started selling expensive classes on how to start a human trafficking ring.

Like someone being a piece of poo poo and insulting you, whatever, easy to brush that off. Vince McMahon says you're an rear end in a top hat, poo poo take that as a compliment. Someone who is a piece of poo poo acknowledging that they're a piece of poo poo but just not quite as lovely as you, that's some go into witness protection level shame.

I'm not happy about a 6 billionaires dying in a submarine that was clearly shoddily built and they should have expected to die in it, but I'm not sad.

Fake edit: I actually am happy about it. Not just because I hate billionaires, but that was a dumb loving thing to go down there in. James Cameron went down there 30 years ago and I guarantee it was in something much, much better built.

Cameron loves to Nerd out on the tech, and gets all up in the design process for the subs he has made for him.
These guys wanted to buy a ticket to go see the titanic, and apparently the company offering tours is some cut corner slapdash operation.

So I'm reading that the sub is bolted shut from the outside and literally incapable of opening from the inside. Only a team on the surface can do it. Also it was never equipped with a tracker or beacon of any kind. Lastly, it appears it does not have an emergency pressure-independent way of loosing ballast (i.e. if it sinks too low or suffers electrical failure it will be unable to jettison ballast and rise automatically). These things were previously known and never addressed.
So, I'm sure it'll be fine.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
It failed its rating test for 4k meters, let alone 6k. It used literally discarded rusty pipes as ballast, held on a shelf on the outside, and passengers would lean the craft to one side to release ballast.

Also:


quote:

...the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

And it was made of carbon fiber, the most unequivocally efficient and structurally sound under nearly 6000 psi of pressure (this is sarcasm).

If they're lucky they're somehow on the surface and will be found in a timely manner
If they're less lucky, they were crushed instantly by some kind of malfunction
If they're really unlucky they'll be entombed in there until oxygen runs out

They have to be massively lucky for 1 because they need someone who knows how to open the door to get there fast enough for air to not run out. Like 1 can still end in 3 if they can't get the drat thing open

They have air through Thursday afternoon. But the Navy or Coast Guard (can't remember which) already said if they were on the surface they'd have found them. The Navy was using P-8s to search for them.

And in his own words, some of the ballast is "abandoned construction pipes, that are sitting on shelves on the side of the thing, and the way you detach the ballast is, you get everybody on board to lean to one side of the sub and they roll off."

That Article posted:

In a November 2022 episode of CBS journalist David Pogue's "Unsung Science" podcast, Rush discussed the Titan sub's mechanics and build.

He said there was a "limit" to safety, telling Pogue: "You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question."
