I feel like we as a thread just sorta glossed over the 87,000 psi pressure vessel for avocado preservation. That is an insane amount of pressure :psyduck:

I’ve heard of something similar being used to pasteurize MREs. From what I heard artillery barrels have a set lifespan and get replaced when they reach a set number of firings. So some guy got the idea to use the old barrels as pressure vessels for this type of sterilization. It doesn’t effect the flavor as much as heating does but you have to use crazy high pressures to kill microorganisms.

The video has about 20 seconds cut out by the timestamps but I like how it gives the impression the train was through and gone before the guy even got over being disoriented enough to start wondering what the gently caress just happened

There's a video making the rounds showing how hard the blast wave hits on a human scale.

A security camera is pointed at a handrail a woman suddenly flies backward with enough speed to make a human taco for a split second.

IDK the extent of her injuries so I'm not gonna post it but it was sobering. She did stumble away.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

What do you do once you drive your ride through wet cement? Just take the tires off and try to scrape the cement off the wheel well before it dries? I'd imagine that once you get cement in the treads of a tire getting that poo poo out is going to be an absolute goddamn nightmare.

This video makes the difference between the supersonic shock and the blast wave really clear. You see the explosion, a fraction of a second later there's a little double crack and the camera vibrates and shifts, and then there's 2 seconds of calm before the visible wall of the explosion arrives...

I can't stop watching the black tower on the right of the frame.

Oh, huh, I guess that makes sense. Sound travels faster in the ground than in the air.

Is the blast wave that hits the camera supersonic? I don't see the shockwave ripple in the air that you usually see expanding outwards from detonations of a large quantity of high explosives.

Lol I have no idea what orberz are but am I to understand that they expand when they get wet or something? If he insisted on doing this why didn't he just plug the drain on his tub and clean them out afterwards? Why does he keep touching raw sewage and literal liquid poo poo with his bare hands over and over again? So many questions..

they are little balls of dessicated gel that can absorb a huge amount of water relative to their mass. they start out the size of sesame seeds and swell up to half an inch in diameter, becoming more than 99% water. iirc it's generally the same stuff that they put in diapers.

you can use them instead of soil for your plants to make the pot look cool, you can shoot them around with slingshots (they bounce and/or shatter into blobs), you can fry them in a pan and watch them skitter around. they don't really have much purpose other than sucking up a lot of water and solidifying it. you can buy a bag of 10,000 on aliexpress for like a dollar.

the french guy should have shoveled them out and thrown them away but he decided to let them go down the drain and oops turns out the sewage system is not meant to cope with a bathtub-volume of insoluble gelatin. the video is supposedly partly fake
