It might be popular with people who don’t like having racist/classist/fascist messaging blasted at them like a firehose, too.  But hopefully Lord Elon sees your work and will carry you to Valhalla himself.

I would hate to imagine the smell that would plume out of that submersible if it survived the trip and they popped the hatch on day 96.

I’m going to guess, no. Who would even insure it, knowing what it was they intended to DO with the vehicles, and what type of people would be aboard. Every day, there are surviving families who get millions in wrongful death compensation, and they got their lawyer off the back of a phone book.  Think insurance…

This strikes me as a structure that’s owners have vastly underestimated how much maintenance/upkeep will cost.  

That’s *almost* “194th-best-male-golfer-in-the-world” money.

I love how Conan and Harrison Ford work off each other; I would watch the hell out of an Idiot Abroad/Better Late Than Never with those two.

The Sega Game Gear was my favorite video game platform, ever, bar none. Perfect ergonomics, great screen, and arrived at the perfect time, when gameplay still trumped graphics but graphics were catching up.

There was a time when building your own PC *meant* something, but going around bragging about it today when they’re basically just a glorified Lego set is kind of sad.

Now, if it were still more cost-effective to build your own system, that would be reason enough to still roll your own, but so long as people are still …

For crying out loud.

How long into the experiment before there’s Mars boning?

Maybe one (or all!) will do the right thing and Epstien themselves before discovery is made public.

But it’s not a helicopter, is it? There must be *some* reason this is more remarkable than say, a train derailment or a lost hiker.

Oh wait, I know what it is. It’s currently the only jank-ass, billy-bob engineered submersbile that went missing with 5 people on it this week.  

Pilot is the dude who owns Ocean Gate.  Far as I know, he was worth 750k, which he got from three of the other passengers.

Aside from the notion that it’s a little sociopathic to sit back and casually determine these lives aren’t worth saving, the experience gathered in these kinds of operations could prove valuable in a future rescue of people “worth” saving.  That’s why all the effort.

Well, you used to be good /reddit, but as with everything good, eventually a conservative douchebag comes along and ruins it by making it better (for themselves).

Sure, you got some tweezers?

You don’t know what you’re talking about.  

You really don’t know where this guy comes from. It’s the town that made a big show of not serving pizza at gay weddings. If Pete ever says the word ‘penis’ in public he won’t be able to fly into South Bend for 30 years.

Or, he did a great job running South Bend Indiana, and the problems he’s encountered as secretary of transportation are endemic to the position.

Yeah, what a moron for suggesting people not do pointless, stupid shit that doesn’t NEED to be done - period - on open roads. I hope you drive a Mustang.
