Knowing what we do now, chairs and a real xbox controller would have been total wastes of money, so actually the sub guy was pretty smart

Eric Cantonese posted:Everything we have been learning about how this company operates is that their testing and design decisions were informed by a high amount of wishful thinking and hubris. Any testing they did was probably done on a "get to yes" basis as opposed to truly testing out their designs to determine if they were actually safe. It’s not just here it’s the general trend of corporation tactics these days to treat every aspect of a budget as something that can be margined against. Look at what happened to Boeing when the business majors took over they can’t build planes worth poo poo anymore even though that’s what they’re supposed to be good at.

I can't stop thinking about how they named the sub after history's most famous shipwreck.

Okay, uhm… I just figured the stepkid was deciding to still go to a Blink 182 concert. Then I saw his handle, and this post from an hour ago. No irony lost on the lyrics. https://twitter.com/audioguy182/status/1671312625106571264 This is beyond parody, he’s an audio engineer for them which means he is continuing to attend Blink 182 concerts.

I can’t get over the fact that this wasn’t even a scam. The CEO seems to have genuinely believed that it was just fine to cut corners and say screw regulations to the point where he trusted getting on that death trap. It sounds like it was a loving miracle this didn’t happen much earlier than it did. None of this is to imply that CEOs have any decency or functioning brain cells, just that I’d have expected the guy to be rolling around in money on a private island somewhere and laughing at the suckers dumb enough to get on that sub.

*everyone glares at CEO as rolling the ballast off didn’t go as planned when everyone moved to one side of the sub* “I didn’t say they were seven feasible ways to surface… does anyone know how to access Device Managers on a computer?”

Three Olives posted:That is actually kind of normal, it's ballast, you don't spend a bunch of money on something you are planning on leaving on the sea floor so it looks nice in photos before launch. there are actually specific areas near the wreck intended for DSVs to drop ballast at so it doesn't crap up the wreck itself

I'd be so disappointed if I paid $250k to go on a deep sea sub to see the titanic and it was just a featureless hollow tube I had to sit cross legged in. I want gauges, levers and dials all over the walls even if they don't do anything.

Wait Blink182 hired a guy who threatened to shoot up a concert to run the audio at their concerts? Dude must be a hell of an audio engineer.

I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall No wonder, it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait 'til I got home To pass the time in my room alone

What I don't get is why someone would go down to a sunk boat in the middle of nowhere when there's a ton of perfectly good WW2 warships off the coasts of islands in the Pacific to check out instead. Go down, look around, spend the rest of your time at the local resort. Even Hawaii has the Arizona memorial for maximum patriotism.

Telling a bunch of clout obsessed vapid socialites that you saw a bunch of warships nobody heard of isn't going to be as impressive as saying you saw that one famous boat from the movie.

Dick Jones posted:If it imploded, wouldn't some of the debris like fabric or tubing or plastic computer parts be floating on the surface by now? I'm not sure if conditions are calm and sunny enough to even spot something like that though. Yeah, but IIRC there was a article about the "rescue" effort saying that the ocean was pretty normal with six foot swells. Picture trying to spot a couple cubic feet of plastic debris in several hundred square miles of rough ocean.

Okay so let's say they weren't all turned into pulp and fish food and they resurfaced and are now drifting atop the ocean somewhere. Can they break out the window if they start running out of air?
