Let's talk SCUBA rebreathers! The Everest thread went on a bit of a SCUBA derail, and I figured it'd fit here, too.

SCUBA diving is mostly safe, *so long as you do open water diving on basic, well tested kit, with a buddy & backups*. But there is a particular discipline of risk-takers called "technical divers" who will do all sorts; cave diving (that's a nope from me), decompression diving (where if you go up to the surface too soon your joints swell up with nitrogen and you end up dead or with joint pain for the rest of your life) or rebreather diving (where, instead of carrying tanks of breathing gas, you carry a 'scrubber' that removes CO2 and a much smaller tank of O2 that can be injected to make up the gas volume again).

Rebreathers in particular will kill you without warning, if the tiniest little thing goes wrong. Too much O2 in your mix? Oxygen toxicity, you seize and die. CO2 scrubbing fail? "the user will experience extreme respiratory distress, followed by loss of consciousness and death".

And of course, these are all controlled by computers.

Yeah that's my hot take. Clever solution, using the hydraulic cylinder on the truck and leverage, but once it was set up I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it.

Edit: Wait, I'm stupid. The hydrant is broken/gone and they'll have to shut off the entire water line, right?

Even if there is still a hydrant under there to shut off, I don't see why they'd risk it and not just shut it off further up the line. If they then find a functional hydrant under there, well that's just an unexpected bonus.

I'd wondered how those stay upright during a landing with that weird landing gear, and I guess that the answer is that they don't.

Yup, they don't. The wingtips have reinforcement and wear protection so they can drag.

When taking off they have "Pogo" gear that are attached to the wings to hold them level, and they fall off as the gets into the air.
