i'm going through some of the long-form naval hearings on the oceangate submarine. i don't think i could write fictional engineering satire as good as some of the shit they pulled
the front fell off
stockton rush is seeming more and more like some bad bosses i’ve had. ones that Have An Idea and ask for my input. and when i tell them that not only will Their Idea be extremely expensive and require ten years to build, it is also impossible. and their response is like “(big comedic frown) actually i hate you + stopped listening 30 seconds in + your gay + now i’m making all the engineering decisions. the plane will be made out of lead and have no engines nor wings but giant magnets instead”
like i really do not understand how the sub ended up being built out of carbon fiber other than stockton Fucking Loved Science or something. the economic argument doesn’t make sense, since the value of f*cking thousands of sheets of fiber all individually, arduously laid in different orientations to make a fuck-off thick sheet of “material” is ???. because nobody does that. it suits no purpose. anything using carbon fiber in place of something else is going the OTHER way. thin light sheets of it to replace something heavier. shaving off weight is advantageous to pretty much most designs. except submarines where it literally doesn’t matter.
i had way more to say on that post but it never materialized, rip
