It wasn’t even welded. The sub is so ridiculous that it doesn’t even use steel or titanium alloy like most serious submarines. Contrary to its name it was made out of carbon fiber.
Lochridge warned that the constant pressure on the Titan as it traveled deeper underwater would weaken any existing structural flaws, resulting in large tears to its carbon components. It was crucial, he said, to conduct non-destructive testing so that a solid and safe product could be provided for both passengers and crew.
Diving the submersible “without any non-destructive testing to prove its integrity” would “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible,” Lochridge said in legal documents.
However, OceanGate allegedly told Lochridge that instead of carrying out the testing, it would install an acoustic monitoring system in the submersible to detect the start of any potential hull breakdown.
Lochridge expressed concern that such an acoustic system would not be able to detect existing flaws. It would simply flag components that were about to fail, he warned—which often happened “milliseconds before an implosion.”
Russia’s officially stated original goal was basically the Minsk accords, but instead of autonomy it was changed to independence for Donbass.
Ukraine officially stated goal is Crimea and Donbass.
Only 1/10 of the price of peripheral needed to play Iron Lung VR.
Remind me again why were Russians forced to adopt a system were business elites could use their capital to exert political power.
That wasn’t public money.
First they removed the /.compact old mobile view, I did not speak out since I had already moved on to using RiF.
3 months later…
Once the heat dies down, they’ll be coming for RES and the old. desktop view.
/pol/ and its consequences
Chicajo he mostly did System Shock remixes and C&C inspired music. Sadly, he stopped making music after his stroke in 2016 and his website has been down for years.
That pretty much is a tacit admission to its failure.
They are so obsessed with saving face that they would only ever admit to starting an offensive if they had reasonable gains.
Russia is simultaneously reduced to using old obsolete equipment on the front lines while somehow only ever loses the latest and greatest.
The Philippines was a full on US colony before WW2 so outside of the Hukbalahap, it often became a choice between collaborating with the Japanese or collaborating with the Americans.
Honestly I respect Artemio Ricarte more than I do Emilio Aguinaldo, or Manuel Quezon.
Finished GTA Vice City Stories on my phone, story and writing are the weakest of any 3D GTA but the soundtrack is the best out of all of them. None of the missions aside from the “In the Air Tonight” concert finale to the Phil Collins missions are particularly memorable though.
Mostly now I’m playing some of my nostalgic PS1 favorites like BattleTanx: Global Assault and Arcade/Neo Geo games like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs since those can be finished in one sitting as I use infinite credits. I’m playing them on the Anbernic RG35XX. I got it on sale for ₱2,350 ($40 tax and shipping included) and I’ve set it up with GarlicOS and the “tiny best set go” romset.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they released the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs (“3 Guys 1 Hammer”).
Well the typical maritime disaster back then had far more resemblance with that of the SS Arctic’s sinking, which had no surviving women and children no matter their status. It’s the crew that’s most likely to survive. The women and children were the most likely to perish. Every man for himself was indeed the norm, which is why the Titanic seemed special. It’s more down an individual’s survival skills, whether they were stationed/staying in the safest parts of the ship, and in some cases even their willingness to screw other people over in order to survive.
