If anyone wants to read more details about how horrible Stockton Rush was (it's even worse than originally thought) and what a boon and grace it is that he's been disintegrated and can do no more harm: https://www.wired.com/story/titan-submersible-disaster-inside-story-oceangate-files/

The worst part about that guy was that after being fired he did a safety issue whistleblower thing, and promptly was sued by Rush.

That lawsuit ended with the guy settling, signing an NDA, and paying Rush 10k.



And the acrylic dome manufacturer getting so freaked out that Rush was using the experimental dome in full production that he offered a huge discount to swap out for a replacement dome that was actually properly tested and rated, Rush said "nah"


It just goes on and on.

Those results sound more like "yup that's the mommy vlogger demographic alright"

I don't disagree with the findings I just think that online mommy vloggers is probably like, one of the least convincing demographics to try to illustrate that point with.

I remember catching a doc where this high end restaurant's "thing" was farm to table but from the perspective of e.g. "most people have never actually tasted wheat". So one course for example is dark whole wheat croissant made entirely from scratch from wheat purposely cultivated for flavor.

For stuff they didn't make themselves, they contracted a big farm to cultivate produce for best flavor. Normally what people want is size and weight. "I have literally never been asked to breed something for best flavor" was the farmer's take.

Wish I could try some of that stuff.
