This is how new cars are birthed in Russia. You straighten the dents, install a dash cam and are ready to go.

Assuming they put them up where people are crossing the road and not just wherever, it would probably be cheaper and more useful to place regular pedestrian crossings on those spots instead. So yeah, more car propaganda than useful solution.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Dumb question about the Tonga volcano and this seems like a reasonable place to ask. If a submarine had been close I assume it would get very fuckled. But how close would be too close? Would it just pancake or explode or what? There are a few factors. Depth + distance. Deeper you are the stronger the pressure wave would be. There are some formulas I know about but they are for dealing with nuclear weapon detonations, which would be the closest thing to that. Couldn't go into detail on that.

Reminds me of the professor I had for physics I/II, he occasionally would made aside remarks like “and if you do this and this and take it to the logical conclusion, you get a really big explosion.” Looked up his bio, he used to work for sandia national labs. Super smart dude.

A proposed british nuclear landmine was chicken-powered: The developers feared the mine could become too cold in winter times to function, a solution was to house a chicken in the mine with water and feed for a week and apparently the heat generated by the chicken was enough to keep everything operational. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock

Subs are also shock tested to determine if the design can withstand certain levels of splodiness (a technical term). Wanna guess how much fun that is on a new class of sub? I got to be part of some of those, and other tests, on Seawolf when she was new. We came out of an extended dry dock period after Sea Trials and one of the fittings that my division was responsible for (a thing that went through the hull, like a tube or pipe thing) was leaking. Like, a lot. And we were still in the process of flooding the dry dock. Of course everyone and their dog was crowded around it watching it and measuring it (about a cup in less than a minute) and wondering what to do. The head engineer from the shipyard told us that when the boat submerged, the pressure would condense the hull enough that it wouldn't leak. My buddy said, "this is a submarine, not an SR-71." I'm not a submarine engineer, but none of the other boats I ever served on had a known leak next to the pier that was "fine" and a feature not a bug. We submerged, and hold onto your butts, the leak didn't stop. Somehow it got worse. A bunch of us took turns taking a sip of the water once we got to test depth (max operating depth). Turns out that sea water at the depth also tastes like poo poo but you know, Y'AARRRRRR and all. Back to the whole would a sub get hosed by it question and the answer was already stated above - depends on a lot of things but one answer would be yes if everything was wrong (distance, depth, direction the boat was pointing, etc).

Hey more sub OSHA no one asked for. Hurricanes are a big deal for the Navy and every ship that can go, has to go. Obviously you don't want them smashing up against the piers when the surge hits so they get everyone out and away from the storm. It's a logistical nightmare for the port ops people as you can imagine. Not to mention all of the airplanes from the various air stations and Air Force bases in the region. So it's a thing, is what I'm saying. It's not bad for subs because we don't have to go out as far to avoid the storm, we just dive. On my first boat we did just that and everything was fat, dumb and happy until one of the backup valves for the reactor cooling systems went tits up. This is normally one of those things were at the least you have to be in port with a cofferdam around it to fix but most likely might need some dry dock time. This is a very large valve both in size and importance and is not something to gently caress around with. If the main valve fails, the only thing keeping the ocean out of the people part is that backup valve. We didn't have a dry dock or a port so the captain made the decision to repair it underway. We came up in depth to the point where we could start to feel the swells and waves and then backed down a little. The mechanics got in and repaired the valve as quickly as possible but if that main valve had failed that would have been it. If I remember correctly it was around 300 feet or so

JFC quote is not edit edit: here's a good story about a sub that sank in a river to ride out a hurricane and something in the back of my mind says another one (Greeling?) partially submerged next to the pier during a storm because she couldn't get underway https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/13939/a-u-s-navy-nuclear-submarine-once-submerged-in-a-river-to-ride-out-a-hurricane
