Titan sub implosion caused by absolutely bonkers “toxic workplace environment”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-13 23:29:05

In a 300-plus page final report released today, the US Coast Guard analyzed the 2023 Titan sub implosion from every conceivable angle and came to a clear conclusion: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was a dangerous and deeply unpleasant boss. His company used "intimidation tactics" to sidestep regulatory scrutiny, it was a "toxic" workplace, and its safety culture was "critically flawed." The Titan itself was "undocumented, unregistered, non-certificated, [and] unclassed." As for Rush, he managed to

Cow vs. Water Buffalo Mozzarella

Many people don't know that Mozzarella cheese is traditionally made from water buffalo milk. Mozzarella from water buffallo, or Mozzarella di Bufala is considered to be higher quality and better tasting than Mozzarella made frow cow milk. I wanted to know if it was really better, or if cheese snobs just say it's better. I had to wait a few months, though. Nugget Market here in Sacramento carries it, but they only sell it in the summer. Then Saturday came. My cell phone rang. I'd completely for

Los Alamos scientists are good at doing things that seem impossible, like taking a picture of something that happens in less than seven-millionths of a second—such as an explosion. And not just one picture, but a series of images that reveal pivotal data about the material that exploded and the physics of the explosion.

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point
