  • I agree. It’s pretty clear that trying to set any record straight (I looked up the philanthropic efforts of that one gent who went with his son) in these situations is a pyrrhic victory. At best you may have offered clarification on some inaccurate talking point they picked up that now someone else might not repeat further, but it only pokes the bear.

  • I stayed off of it for a bit after the first 48, because I needed one of the support subs there. Then the Titan news was going on and the wealth of shitty remarks about the people in the sub was too much for me. I get the whole ‘eat the rich’ mentality, but the sheer vitriol people had against someone they didn’t know didn’t exactly paint the commenters in a favourable light.

    Hoping that such opinion is tempered somewhat over here.

    It occurred to me that their final moments could truly be: trapped in an airtight tube, 3,800m below the surface, dwindling air supply, and no. light. Pitch darkness. No way to know if anyone is coming, how long you’ve been down there, or if the sub will instead (mercifully) give way to the pressure and crush you instantaneously and without warning.

    • Is it normal for Kbin to frequently have to verify if my connection is secure via Cloudflare, if I neglect the tab for more than a couple of minutes?

    • What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?

  • Recreational scuba instructor since 2008. People think it's extreme as fuck, and badass and all. It's honestly really Zen. You take long, slow, deep breaths; often wearing a wetsuit or drysuit which reduces the sensory input on the body; you can't talk to anyone else (unless you have a full face mask and comms system/are fluent in sign language); mechanics of sound through water mean that everything is muffled and sounds like it's above you; you're (ideally) neutrally buoyant, so you're drifting through your surroundings.

    It made a hell of a lot of sense why this was my career choice when I got an autism diagnosis in 2019.
