I still can't get over they used a loving bluetooth controller. The PS2 wired gamepad interface has been reverse engineered and used in arduino projects for like a decade and it's just so much more reliable

It's kind of a shame they just imploded. The ramshackle nature of that submersible invited, nay demanded a funnier end.

The only thing it needed to be funnier, or indeed funny at all, is that the crew needed to not include a teenage boy who only went to hang out with his dad on Father's Day weekend. His death was a tragedy and undeserved. The rest of them climbed into a king size fleshlight of their own free will.

My main objection is the yolks, what's even the point in an egg sandwich if you don't cover yourself in runny yolk when eating it?

Honestly I do also feel for the French guy who only signed up because his wife died and he decided to dedicate the remaining years of his life to the Titanic, openly stating that if he dies on the sub that he's okay with that as it's painless. He was travelling for free as he was the domain expert. That said apparently his childhood sweetheart ended up recontacting him due to the Titanic stuff and they got married shortly before he died, so he did leave behind that tragic ending. Otherwise him dying near the wreck of his obsession would be poetic.

I subsist entirely on grindset mantras and bootstraps. If you are hungry just think about eating and affirm that you are full. Starvation only happens because you want it to.

Intelligence too, all of the "racial IQ differences" that aren't down to biased language in the tests are down to poor available diet (causing malnutrition), helminths (causing malnutrition), or dumping all the leaded petrol there.

I was watching a video by an engineer on these kind of things and he was saying that while it's true that using controllers for certain things is perfectly fine (turrets in the US military was an example given) it's apparently extremely stupid to use on a submersible, a) because you shouldn't be using it to control movement for something you're currently in and b) because there's nothing to secure you to your environment (such as a fixed chair), meaning if you get disorientated you could press what you think is forward and move left, ensnaring your submersible on debris.

All but the most basic-rear end aircraft solve that one by having multiple sets of controls, allowing you to say "I have control/you have control"  Maybe Cessna needs a tech innovator to make one with a gameboy you can throw around the cockpit instead.

I came to a similar conclusion after playing a bunch of Resident Evil games in the late 90's, and I didn't need a degree in engineering.

And re: throwing the controller, the wire just makes it easier to retrieve afterwards

The combination of 'we don't need to verify the ships structual integrity, we have an alarm that goes off if it starts to fail' and 'please go to sleep for 24 hours while we wait for the sinking weights to disolve off' is really incredible.
