June 21, 20232 yr Pretty solid overview video from a 20yr USN nuclear sub sonar operator Not many lulz, but super informative for the ins and outs and whathaveyous for design, construction, and safety of this boondoggle. Sidenote, this has gotta be a point for the "we're in a simulation" crowd right? The fucking company is named "OceanGate" like some goddamn easy bake news headline

The fucking company is named "OceanGate" like some goddamn easy bake news headline He looks like the type that can go 6 months without getting horny, so he’s made for a US Navy sub. Good video though, Ocean Gate should have hired him.

June 21, 20232 yr Are they confirmed dead yet? That’s really all anyone gives a shit about. I mean if not found by tomorrow morning then yea…I think they’ve been dead since Sunday.This whole search and rescue might be the biggest waste of resources in history. I guess it’s a good way to see how well the equipment works. And get some training in for future events But even if there a beyond miracle chance they even find the thing in the pitch black depths of the atlantic…they still need a plan to get it to surface and unbolted as fast as possible. Assuming they’re still alive

June 21, 20232 yr I watched Ghosts of the Abyss last night. Their subs looked slightly nicer than that thing.
June 21, 20232 yr So his highness or majesty or whatever he is Charles has demanded to be kept up to speed. What the fuck is he going to do about it?The King is volunteering Harry and Meghan to head down in a twin submersible. Of course they’ll do it as a project for their media deal.
June 21, 20232 yr I'll just leave this here, and no CR, but a whole boatload of folks went down in the Mediterranean, and I didn't notice a 10-page thread on that incident. Just a comment on what we as a people want to focus on.

Mr. Dimon, I'll remind you that we are in session and that you are under oath.
June 21, 20232 yr Have they released the list of passengers. I've just seen "2 billionaires" but not who they actually are. Any one spotted Bezos lately?

June 21, 20232 yr Maybe this is actually an elaborate kidnapping attempt by the people running OceanGate. Get a couple of billionaires to voluntarily get locked into a small container under the guise of having exclusive access to see the Titanic, tell the public the submarine is missing, transport the sub to an undisclosed location, then hold the billionaires hostage and demand a large ransom from their families.

On the other hand, rich assholes choosing to do something this stupid and dying as a result leaves plenty of room for comedy, and I honestly don't have much in the way of sympathy for them. Your point stands though.
June 21, 20232 yr The King is volunteering Harry and Meghan to head down in a twin submersible. Of course they’ll do it as a project for their media deal. Unfortunately the paparazzi have similar subs that will be following them and taking pictures the whole time

Most of these 10 pages are making jokes and commenting on how stupid those rich fucks are, rather than mourning their plight and ultimate demise.

June 21, 20232 yr Most of these 10 pages are making jokes and commenting on how stupid those rich fucks are, rather than mourning their plight and ultimate demise.The entire mission is basically suicide. And there’s absolutely no point of it since you can barely see anything outside of the sub with its 1 tiny window I’m with the person above who said it’d be way more captivating having an underwater drone explore the titanic while you watch on a high def tv drinking beers. That way you’d probably get your own PlayStation controller to play with and your life/wealth wouldn’t be wasted.

Get tanked and control your own underwater submersible through the titanic, Bob Huggins style. I'd pay $2.50 tree-fiddy for that. Mix in some bong rips and possibly shit in a bucket in the middle of your living room...that's a pretty solid Monday, right there.

Dude if you surfaced in that sub and no one found you and you bobbed around in puddle of vomit, piss, and shit for 48hrs you'd be counting down the seconds till the oxygen ran out.
June 21, 20232 yr I’m tornDo you think Mrs. Dawood is posting on a stupid shit husbands say/do thread? Or does Shazahda Dawood have a story for the wives say/do stupid shit thread because his wife let her child go on a suicide mission with his ego driven dad to the titanic?
June 21, 20232 yr Oh I get it. People are way more interested in the hubris of some billionaires who FAFO'd than the desperate struggle of the downtrodden. WAY more world resources looking for those dudes.
