Thai cave drama doesn't really hold my interest, but it gives me a little boost to my faith in humanity that so much effort is being put into the rescue of a few. How many people are going to die before this is all over though?

Then you lose that faith again when thinking about how this only happens for these one-off situations where they can tie a nice bow on it at the end and go back to their lives, and doesn't extend to chronic issues faced by people every day.

Have they tried just poking a hole in the bottom of the cave and letting the water out?

SelenicMartian posted:Honey, I Microwaved the Kids. Use a cured-in-place pipe liner. It's a big sock you inflate with air through the tunnel to seal out the water. Heating it up to 200 degrees to cure it might make things a little steamy for the kids, but they can go swimming to cool off

Ok, here's my plan. We pull a pipe into the cave where kids are and start pumping air IN there. Once the pressure increases a bit, it will blow the water out of the way and the kids can just walk back. This will also solve the problem with kids running out of oxygen. Real simple.

Elon Musk needs to put out ads to NAMBLA letting them know that there are 12 Thai ladyboys in a cave, free to the rescuer. Within days there'll be like 100,000 slavering, lust-powered degenerates ("ephebophiles") hacking a hole into the mountain, under his personal on-site direction, to get to the boys. When the kids are rescued, get them out ASAP and then drop a few MOABs on the site. Win both ways!

SniperWoreConverse posted:whys it curved then? I mean the endpoint is too chiseled to be a scythe probably, and it seems like it's too heavy to be one anyway, but it's a weird as gently caress shape. My bet is it was a piece of some other thing they randomly repurposed. That center of gravity looks fucky as hell. Looks like a vehicle leaf spring to me, my dude.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:Think about "technology that could create an air tunnel." What the gently caress does that mean? Is he going to drill down to them? Is he going to run a long tube through the cave? Not defending Ol' Musky but drilling down to them, even if they can't make the tunnel wide enough for them to escape, is still a good idea. Right now, the only way to get anything to the kids is for a human to drag it in via a 6+ hour underwater death maze, and if there needs to be a continuous supply effort for months via that method, it's only a matter of time before more divers die. And while I understand that the air quality isn't immediately dangerous, the first death is directly attributed to the diver releasing too much of their own air into the chamber and running out on the way back, which would seem to speak to an ongoing fight to keep the air breathable. Seems like supply tunnels are, if not technically necessary, certainly something worth pursuing.

Your lack of empathy and apparent need to shame and punish make me sad for you. The coach is like 25 years old, not even a full adult brain. And I'd imagine he's also feeling pretty bad about himself.
