Look, at some point you can't nerf the world. You either spend years building a submarine out of plastic kayaks and an actual Enigma machine or you just give up, and stay in bed all day. You have to choose. Do you just stop your life or build a rocket out of cardboard and old camping lanterns?
I’m having trouble thinking of something more obviously and profoundly dangerous than getting into a janky submarine and going to the bottom of the Atlantic. Russian roulette would be safer.
with no emergency beacon.
It just doesn't have one. idk how the fuck they expected to recover the vehicle, but it has no GPS beacon. What the entire fuck?
"Look, either you take a little risk getting on a submarine made out of shit you might find on sale at Ikea, or you just lay around your bed all day wishing you weren't such a little bitch."
"Now pay me to get in this tin can miles under the sea. What are you, a wimp? Carpe diem you piece of shit."
Mf is so fucking out of touch he’s comparing a business risk (I’m sure he’s been bailed out multiple losses/failures) to his life
I'll take a 60s car with zero modern safety features over getting into that "submarine" that uses an Xbox controller as the steering wheel and zero safety regulations because it's on international waters.
There's a folk legend that the iron ring Canadian structural engineers are given when they graduate is made from steel from a bridge that collapsed with numerous fatalities to remind them why engineering has so many rules and regulations. Same idea as the "Every OSHA regulation is written in blood" line.
