    DON'T FUCK WITH THE OCEAN

    Writing a mod for a game with dozens of scripted events and it would be great if I could just publish the first draft and let the free market of ideas bug test it, but I'm still gonna test it myself and hopefully catch bugs. None of these bugs would implode me, but they'd feel like it.

    I can say with authority that I've been drunk in the same basement tavern as Benjamin Franklin. Well, one of the basements he'd been drunk in.

    From what I’ve heard, essentially any standing structure in New England that at any time in the last 300 years sold alcohol has a solid shot at being one of Franklin’s former watering holes

    Also regarding the submarine stuff, all the standards surrounding SUBSAFE came from losing a U.S. submarine and everyone on board dying.

    NASA would later adopt and modify the same standards submarines were using after losing a capsule and everyone on board dying.

    That's what infuriates me. The standards put in place weren't to prevent theoretical problems. They were created because without them people died preventable deaths.

    I just love that Rush throws out “submersible orthodoxy” as if physics, pressure and fluid dynamics are a school of fucking thought and not, you know, immutable laws of fucking Nature

    To the Techbro, if they haven't personally experienced/witnessed the scenario that gave rise to regulation, it's just pointless red tape.

    It's like that guy who built a rocket to see the shape of the earth for himself. Total reluctance to trust anyone else but their own experience.

    But they cost so much more Quid?

    How can we make an extra 10% off the top if we follow them?

    Its so dumb. Silicon Valley's thought process is fine for something that won't kill you. But at the same time learning from our mistakes is important not to repeat them.

    Maybe this very well publicized disaster will help turn people around on the whole "safety standards just hold back innovation" shit.

    Paris should technically count as American soil given how many brave soldiers Franklin left behind

    My mom loved the Titanic.

    One of the first movies I remember watching was "A Night To Remember" followed by "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"

    She met Robert Ballard, had detailed cross sections framed and hung on the dining room. Went to every Titanic museum, no matter how small, she could get to.

    And even my mom never wanted to go there.

    "It's a graveyard, Sarah. A mass burial site. We do not bother them. They should be left in peace"

    She was angry enough at the opening scenes of the Titanic movie, and that was fake treasure hunting.

    Do not run dodgy tourist events with no safety regulations to mass traumatic grave sites.

    but what about the elon musk brain chips

    just cause a bunch of chimps died horrible deaths shouldn't hold back innovation from human test subjects

    worst case a bunch of people simultaneously stroke out because a decimal is displaced during a live software update

    Virtually every safety standard was written after an incident made it apparent. In aviation we said "the FARs were written in blood." Anyone using the spurious innovation argument is already ignoring ya know, all of history, one more spoonful of reality isn't gonna change it for them.

    I finally floated a couple miles of my local river today, and it was really fun. Two thumbs up for operations on the surface of the water.

    Good news everyone! We've determined there is no sewage seeping through my office building's walls.

    There is however sewage seeping up from the ground. Some of it into the walls.
