I'm so glad that arrogant twit will forever be remembered as a punchline.

Any rule that is standing between you and a horrific and/or immediate death should probably be respected.

Especially if your death would have a high comedic and/or ironic element to it.

Otherwise you're not just tempting Fate, you're promising that it'll be worth Fate's time to do it.

alot of stuff in engineering is bullshit too the difference is that if something is bullshit like 99% of the time then you have to take it seriously all the time otherwise bad stuff eventually happens

The laws of physics absolutely do not care in the least about your business objectives.

Apparently OceanGate follows ‘Captain Barbosa’s Guide to Why Submarine Engineering Regulations are More Guidelines Than Rules’

They fought Pascal's Law, and the Law won.

He deserves the Darwin Award though for bravely testing how up-to-date old scientific laws from the 1600s are.

We need a comedy song of this whole event sung to the music of “I fought the law and the law won”.

Also figuring out what to make for dinner. They never talk about how hard that is when you're a kid...

The realization “I can just eat ice cream at any meal” and “being crushed to death under the immense weight of the ocean“ go hand in hand.

And if you’re going to use carbon fiber when every expert in your field advises you against doing so, don’t buy expired carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber actually makes plenty of sense for some pieces, but absolutely not the pressure vessel. And not if you're taking no precautions against galvanic corrosion.
