The CEO of OceanGate talks about hiring his engineering team, he said he wanted avoid hiring a bunch of 50 year old ex military white guys, and instead opted for a more younger, diverse team. Well…

For reference, the CEO describes his hiring philosophy at 5:20 https://youtu.be/4dka29FSZac

(All of this video is interesting, worth a watch to be informed.)

Electrical engineering for a control system is hard… let’s use a fucking PlayStation controller! Dude! Bro!

But he has a couple of backups, so it's all good.

I like the idea of separating the controller part and having spares for that. Rather than like hard-wiring in a single one with no ability to replace it if it fails.

My guess is the controller doesn't have anything to do with this.

Things like this should really have manually operable systems and/or redundancy in electrical systems. But just going "up" should be doable by hand.

Yeah, I’ve seen enough WW2 movies to know that there is a crank you can turn to manually surface. Some poor sap always had to swim underwater to do it.

[ - ] bonghits4jeebus 0 points 10 monthsJun 21, 2023 15:07:59 ago (+0/-0)

Seems like there should be some ballast with manual release that's keeping its weight just on the sinking side. Of course, I don't know how complicated this sub is.

You get what you gay for.

Exactly, they chose to go woke, and will never wake up again.

I couldn't find that. But also apprently

There hasn’t been an injury in the commercial sub industry in over 35 years. It’s obscenely safe, because they have all these regulations,” he told the magazine.

Um and then he explains how he followed none of them.

He went rogue like Sarah Palin

Sara and her daughter fuck niggers.

Wow

This is another "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" thing.

These nigger billionaires better be paying for this rescue. This is entorely their fault.

Somewhere the ghost of an iceberg is celebrating: "I got another one!"

The submersible is called "Titan" which makes everything even more ironic.

I'm just glad it's not me in there. Submarines, submersibles, spelunking.... no, no, no. I want to see the sky at all times, even if i'm being eaten by a shark.

Do you know how you traverse flutes in caves?
You take a deep breath and puff your chest up and wedge yourself in the gap, that way when you exhale you can hopefully slide back out. Think Cave Cat whiskers.

[ - ] dulcima 2 points 10 monthsJun 21, 2023 03:32:48 ago (+2/-0)

Yeah, no. Not even as a small person would I ever do that. Keep your caves to yourself!

[ - ] chrimony 0 points 10 monthsJun 21, 2023 12:13:12 ago (+0/-0)

Yep, the idea of getting stuck in a cave and drowning is horrifying. I watch mountaineering disasters of fair bit on Th3mTube, but caving disasters... just no.

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper 4 points 10 monthsJun 20, 2023 17:27:55 ago (+5/-1)

...except that it's not really the Titanic that's down there, it's the sister ship "OLYMPIA"...maybe...just maybe, the crew and passengers spotted something that was supposed to remain a secret and out of the public eye.

it could be both

[ - ] Clubberlang 0 points 10 monthsJun 20, 2023 20:51:56 ago (+0/-0)

Like the Italian that caused all the supply chain issues?

[ - ] chrimony 0 points 10 monthsJun 21, 2023 11:54:21 ago (+0/-0)

That sounds retarded too.

[ - ] Hermes 1 point 10 monthsJun 20, 2023 17:54:07 ago (+1/-0)

i love this conspriacy. John Astor and a couple others against the Federal Reserve getting sunk on the titanic. I forget why the sister ship was important. Need to brush up on that one.

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 1 point 10 monthsJun 20, 2023 20:13:16 ago (+2/-1)

It had already been damaged and was going to be decommissioned, so the theory is they switched ships and sank it for the insurance money

I spit my coffee.

Dang unc! That's harsh!
Maybe you should get outside and pet some puppies. Go fishing and try to enjoy a day. Whew.

lol. Punting a poofer fish is also hilarious.

Touching a puffer with bare hands will make you sick if you do not wash them.

Source: I had 2 in an aquarium, and they liked to jump out.

[ - ] Peleg 0 points 10 monthsJun 20, 2023 17:43:51 ago (+0/-0)

Ha Ha. Yeah, the ol punt the puffer game. I know you know I was meaning something a little more relaxing and pleasant. After watching that video I believe you need a lot more than just a day of fishing. If you have a video of yourself drowning puppies just keep it to yourself.
Let me guess. You worked for fauci with beagles amiright!

Dogs are amazing, I would never hurt a doggie.

I am still laughing.
