tbh the stretch of cable between the two male plugs seems superfluous. Just make it a singular plug with male prongs sticking from both ends.

The thing people always forget when talking about suicide cords is that if you're using it as an adapter to plug in your xmas lights because you strung them up backwards... that means you now have an exposed hot male plug at the other end just hanging in your bushes somewhere.

monolithburger posted:Speaking of watercraft, saw this on the Reddit front page today. Given that that they show it completely submerging, that means the cabin's got to be airtight, which really makes me wonder about failure modes and how you're meant to escape if the engine/electronics die or if your propeller gets stuck in weeds or something like Tintin did.

ded posted:Thresher took over a day to sink past crush depth. Sonar data indicates an implosion at April 10 0918. USS Seawolf heard some things that some people think indicated that there were still people alive on the Thresher as late as April 11 2030, but it did not take over a day to sink and wind up on the seafloor. And even those sounds are very disputed: quote:Meanwhile, on the message board of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System Caesar Alumni Association (IUSSCAA), and in response to Amick’s video analysis of the newly unclassified Seawolf documents, Bruce Rule, a naval acoustic and SOSUS expert who testified at the Thresher inquiry, has stated: quote:There was a declass of all the official documentation of it. I don't believe that's the case. Formerly classified data from the court of inquiry has been being released in batches, but I don't believe all of the data from all sources has been released. quote:Scorpion died fast as hell because a torpedo had a hot run and blew up inside the boat. That's portraying a certainty that doesn't exist. A probable cause was deemed to have been a torpedo explosion in the tube, but there are other probable causes, such as hydrogen release and detonation during a battery charge cycle, which was then ejected from the sub but continued to run hot, circled, and detected and homed in on the boat. We don't know to any real certainty what sank the Scorpion, and the official inquiry said the investigation was inconclusive (although "torpedo blows up inside" was considered the most likely).

Xakura posted:Pretty sure it's got massive positive buoyancy like other toy subs. Looks fun. Yeah, it submerges because the fins are upside-down hydrofoils and it only generates enough force to do that at high speed. If the engine quits it'll just float to the surface. It's also cylindrical so it's self-righting if the center of gravity is low enough. As for getting trapped underwater, if they gave it a scuttle valve that would equalize the pressure and then you could pop the hatch off.

Plus, it probably isn't even airtight. Water can only leak in so fast and it's only underwater for a few seconds at a time. If there is any kind of gasket at all it'll give the bilge pump more than enough time to catch up once you're above water again.

Copypasta from Wikipedia article "Crime in Antarctica" follows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Antarctica quote:While crime in Antarctica is relatively rare,[1] isolation and boredom affect certain people there negatively and may lead to crime.[2] Alcoholism is a known problem on the continent,[2] and has led to fights and indecent exposure.[3] Other types of crimes that have occurred in Antarctica include illicit drug use,[2] torturing and killing wildlife,[2] racing motorbikes through environmentally sensitive areas,[2] assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, and arson. Sexual harassment also has been reported.[4] Okay, so it's a relatively safe tourist destination... but let's look at the listed crimes.
That last one sounds like at least there was a happy ending, they kissed and made up and that was that. Just heed this warning: if you go to a polar station or oil drilling platform or submarine or a Mars expedition, don't spoil the endings of the books or shows that your mates are using to cope with conditions. Stabbing a spoiling troll should be considered self-defense under those circumstances. Nenonen fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Nov 7, 2021 |

Even if the canopy opens in use and the cockpit fills up, the body is airtight as well so it can't sink.

And even those sounds are very disputed: Navy Releases Eighth Round of USS Thresher Inquiry Documents April 29, 2021 10:40 AM The Navy released the eighth set of documents from a previously classified investigation into the April 10, 1963 loss of USS Thresher and its crew of 129 sailors off the coast of New England. A freedom of information lawsuit from retired Navy Capt. James Bryant, a former Thresher-class submarine commander, compelled the Navy to release the documents on a rolling basis. The following is the sixth of 12 volumes of proceedings of the court of inquiry ordered by the commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The other documents can be found here. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20986255/tresher9_10_reduced.pdf https://news.usni.org/2021/07/09/navy-releases-latest-round-of-uss-thresher-inquiry-documents This stuff came out a few months ago. It has actual logs and is a pretty crazy read.

Bad Munki posted:https://i.imgur.com/pVaeD7F.gifv I had a ladder like that, but never tried it in that position. It felt rickety as it was in step ladder and extension ladder modes. It was also much heavier than a step ladder and it was a royal pain to set up as an extension ladder (you had to extend it fully, usually on the ground, before lifting it into position, making sure that you don't snag a tree or a power line on the way). I left it at the house when I ended my lease. The next person can use it when cleaning the gutters. I'm going to get some traditional ladders next time I'm in a situation where I need them.

The truly weird/disassociating thing is reading about submarines on Wikipedia because the editors anthropomorphize the subs and refer to them as "she" while somehow removing/absolving the people involved.

Same exact story with mine. I used it in full extension once before deciding it was out of here. Had a friend who wanted it in spite of my warnings, gave it to him for half off and still felt a little guilty.

We've got one of those ladders, too, and I loving love it. It's great for trimming tall hedges and stuff, so you don't need to reposition it every meter, or for getting fruit off low trees without, again, needing to constantly reposition the ladder, and in some cases it also frees up your second hand. Though, obviously, yes, get a loving quality one or you've just got a suicide hazard.
