Sure. Are we going to start banning rock climbing, hiking, backcountry skiing, etc.? Colorado spends a ton of money on search and rescue operations for all of those. Hell, half the reason the Coast Guard even exists is because of the need for search and rescue.

The ship would not have been able to operate in US or Canadian waters because it was not certified and was carrying passengers. But if the ship isn't made to be sold, it doesn't need a certification. Planes are the same way. You can build your own experimental plane from a kit and fly it yourself with no certification or certificate of soundness. You can fly friends and family. But you cannot charge people to fly in it unless its certified. The reality is that stopping something like this via regulation would be very difficult. I mean, let's say the US would not let the company land their ships in US ports. You think Iceland or Greenland would stop them? Even if you could stop a ship from visiting Titanic b/c no country would host the docking ship, the Mariana Trench is in the east pacific. You think Papa New Guineau would stop a ship from running submersibles to the Mariana Trench if the submersible did not meet US Coast Guard standards? Doubtful. And with the money being charged for trips, it would take comparatively little to add a 'docking fee' that was paid directly to New Guinea inspectors/govt officials to allow docking. This would apply to countless WWII wrecks littered throughout the Pacific ocean. |

Same one who said that he put a drink in the fridge to make it cold.
Me: "Fridges don't make things cold." Him: "Of course thy do, you ****ing idiot." Me: "No they don't. Fridges remove heat. Cold doesn't exist. It's a lack of heat." WHACK!!

This accident happened in international waters and involved noble rescue efforts from three countries. I think there's a difference between a cargo ship in international waters that's up to code and being in peril vs an experimental vessel that had its operator blatantly ignore safety codes and being in trouble in international waters. Quote:
I guess what I'm saying is you know how for some events, facilities hire private security? Do something like that for vessels that aren't up to code-which would raise the cost to operate these vessels an absurd amount to where it basically forces the operator to be certified if it wants to be profitable.

I will share a couple of things growing up though.
My mom's birthday was November 20th. One day I asked her when it will fall on Thanksgiving. She replied it can't. I couldn't get my head around that one for a few years. Another time, the night before the daylight savings time "fall back", I asked dad what time should I set the alarm clock for to get up to go hunting. He said just leave it alone, it's the same time. That one took me longer. Insert Marky Mark quandary stare here.

My memory is that it's centrifugal force that does that. Because it creates a sort of gravitational pull that takes anything further away and tries harder to 'pull' it in. So the nature of gravity and centrifugal force combined is what tries to pull everything into a central point, makes it relatively equidistant from the center and thus a sphere is formed. Here I think the shape's going to be more akin to an egg cooked on a hot rock...then another hot rock gets dropped on top of it.

Ah. So it's like the angle of the dangle is directionally proportional and congruent to the heat of the beat.
