Personally not sure why they are spending tax dollars trying to rescue people who deliberately operated outside the law and regulation to the point it's in their goddamn FAQ. They can feel free to Free Market Solution their way out of this pickle.

Well the coast guard and navy gets to use this as training. Their training budget is already allocated so they may as well use it on a real life situation.

Also I believe you get billed after by them. For these idiots, their estate.

Oh, word? You get a bill, even if they don't succeed in rescuing you?

the Notoriously DEEP Bahamas!?!!!

I went back to see if I got mixed up, but that what the report says:

quote:

In a May 2021 court filing, the company said Titan had undergone more than 50 test dives, including to the equivalent depth of the Titanic, in deep waters off the Bahamas and in a pressure chamber.

Is there no deep water in the region? If not, that would suggest the Titanic depths were simulated in a pressure chamber - is that even possible?

There's deep water just to the east of the Bahamas. They're right on the edge of the continental shelf.

Holy gently caress, do you guys know how many successful dives Titan has actually made to the Titanic?

...3

Plus an undisclosed number of test dives - according to a company filing, they say they carried out "over 50" test dives, including some to the same depth as the Titanic.
These tests were done in the Bahamas.

Ripley: How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?

Gorman: Thirty eight... simulated.

Vasquez: How many *combat* drops?

Gorman: Two. Including this one.

Always rolling skulls.
Isn't the "sitting Indian style" thing about the actual country of India, as in the Lotus Position/Half-Lotus/Sukhasana in Yoga? And just the general cross legged style of sitting when meditating? Thats how I learned it in Kindergarten. Where did this thing about "Indian style" being racist about Native Americans come in?


I wonder if the guys on the sub have tried just a half A-press yet instead of a full one. Can the 3rd party controller even handle that?
