If they had a short pole underwater in the middle of the belly of floating platform then it would be more stable than my 95 yo granny at 3 am on her way to the toilet

No idea how it works exactly but the sailing boats have it so to not capsize easily or at all. It actually takes great deal effort to crash the sailing boat on its side, these fuckers can go 90 degrees under heavy wind and still come back like a spring though no promise the people will be still onboard.

It’s kind of fun actually to sail almost 90 degrees on the side but scary.

If it works, it's not hybris, is it?

You say it’s working but they haven’t yet gotten back out of the lift nor have they gotten the lift back out of the water.

Presumably they're not frozen in time. The post was made a day ago, so at least several hours before your comment, and the picture was probably not taken minutes before the post was made. I'd imagine they got out of the water long before any of us were aware that they were ever in the water. And given that the picture isn't accompanied by a second picture of everything in the water or a story about them falling in, it's reasonable to assume that nothing as notable as that happened.

I’m not joining you on making assumptions out of nothing. I’m stating what we knew at the time without any new information.

If this unexploded land mine doesn't go off and kill me the moment it gets jostled, then it's not dangerous, is it?

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.
