I wondered about the sunglasses (everything else is a kind of stupid I've seen before). Apparently there's a pseudoscience belief that wearing sunglasses prevents your eyes from getting enough Vitamin D and can cause vision problems.

Two issues with that:

1) The recommended amount of Vitamin D for an average adult human is 600 IU. The average white person in a temperate latitude can get enough sunlight on their skin to produce that in about fifteen minutes' exposure. Obviously this varies by skin melanin content and latitude.

2) The biochemical process that uses UVB light to produce Vitamin D does not occur in the eyes, only in the skin.

Here we go again.

Dr. Robert Ballard gave a talk about ROV use in exploration and science at my university about a decade ago, and during the Q&A some kid asked a question about retrieving artifacts from the wreckage of the Titanic in a way that implied he thought Ballard's team had done so in spite of Ballard making his feelings very clear during the talk that he thought it should be left alone out of respect. Ballard got pissed at the implication, and you could kinda tell that he was trying hard not to lose his temper and yell at the kid.

Ballard is serious about thinking that seafloor wrecks are a "look but don't touch" thing.

I find myself in the odd position of not wanting to celebrate or make light of the loss of human life, but also gently caress that guy

Pretty much. I’m not going to celebrate their deaths but really, any rational person should have looked at that submersible and gone “lol nope”

They chose to get on board knowing full well that the tour operator was an amateur hour clown show operation and that the owners approach to safety could be best summed up as “#yolo”

The French guy on board, by all means an expert submariner, is likely the only one to fully realise what happened in time. The CEO hopefully was granted a split second to consider his hubris before said hubris killed other human beings.

Not much of an expert if he thought that piece of poo poo was safe to get in.

Disney was awarded an NHL expansion team in Anaheim in 1993. They named the team the Mighty Ducks after the movie that was released in 1992. Disney eventually sold the team and the new owners immediately dropped "Mighty" from the name so that people wouldn't think of a children's movie when they heard the name.

The team is now simply the Anaheim Ducks.

Note that the team still owns the rights to the mascot Wildwing Flashblade who is the main character of The Mighty Ducks animated series, and presumably gets residuals for having the show available on Disney+.

Billionaires, blink twice if you’re afraid that people will mock you when you’re dead.

Like I think what this shows is that you could have all the wealth in the world but you are utterly useless in the face of man’s hubris and Mother Nature. You can have literally any material good but what will that do when the sea decides you’re loving chum, in the matter of a millisecond.

I really, truly hope the wealthy have a deep existential nightmare this Midsommar weekend. I hope they realize that in death, their wealth cannot protect them, cannot do poo poo for them. That perhaps, you need to live a life that won’t generate, honestly, pretty well deserved scorn in your death.

They won’t, and we all know that, but I hope these are loud, jarring warning shots

If you are a billionaire and are genuinely worried about how you will be remembered, you have at least a billion dollars and probably a giant staff to use and be remembered for something good. None of them loving do anything about it.

While it's likely they did, on the off chance that somehow they miraculously hadn't imploded and were found later in one piece, but dead because the implosion news was reported, the resulting PR fallout would be stupid. Even though it would still all be that CEOs fault.
