      Is it weird that as soon as I saw the name of the sub I knew it was his sub? I saw a short documentary about its construction roughly a week before the titan thing. It was a very funny contrast between oceangate's "testing? what the fuck is a test? we're just winging it lmao" approach and how the construction of the limiting factor involved shit like "and it took a long time to arrange, but we managed to get it tested in the only facility big enough to pressure test the sub which was this old Soviet facility in St. Petersburg..."
