    Yeah, I’m not sure what point he’s trying to prove. Of course the industry is safe, that’s what all the safety requirements when building and operating a submarine is all about.

          The standards are if James Cameron writes you a letter that says “Damn dude you’re gonna fucking die you dumb motherfucker. Eywa is gonna hear you when you’re becoming crab food at the bottom of the ocean.” You have to up your game.

              I’m legitimately convinced we could solve the musk problem by saying that woke moralists are trying to impose their will through draconian reinforced double hull theories.

          I guess a lot of standards are this way to some extent but like, a voluntary certification produced by some random company for profit is barely a standard at all, when it comes to certification of life-safety-critical equipment. That’s what I meant by “kinda aren’t any requirements, it’s all voluntary”.

          It’s kinda silly that the guy who tries to go out to sea in a plastic bubble or whatever gets stopped by the coast guard but rich idiots they’re like “go ahead sir right away sir”

        Like with most thing there’s all those requirements are to get government funding. (That red tape you hear people who don’t know what delta p means whining about)

        Any numbnuts can put a bucket over their head and jump off a ship in the middle of the ocean.
