The resulting leakage would relieve the boiler pressure and douse the burner with very little risk to the passenger. There is not a single documented incident of a Stanley boiler exploding.

I wasn't worried so much about the boiler developing overpressure as it being damaged in a crash and suddenly being much weaker than the pressure it already contains.

They mainly went away because paying for that safety factor costs more than you lose in an ICE's inefficiency.

Here’s a new phobia. This is what a submarine sonar ping sounds like underwater to a group of unsuspecting scuba divers. Skip to around 40 seconds. https://youtu.be/AaO6jQEmfoY?si=JpJpJfooI4uCbHGz From a cracked article today: https://www.cracked.com/article_41821_5-myths-you-believe-about-deadly-situations-thanks-to-movies.html

And the active sonar they typically use is much lower-frequency than that. HF sonars would only be used for things like under-ice navigation. Might be a non-military sonar, like a fish-finder or something. The "ping" sound that gets used in movies whenever they need a submarine sonar sound (One ping only, please) is a real submarine sonar sound, but it's the sound of a particular submarine sonar that hasn't been used since WWII. It's like how every diving plane makes a noise exactly like a Ju-87's dive siren despite the plane not having a dive siren or being a Ju-87. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNcDodOwm4M Cartoon Man posted:

But nothing could prepare me for the sheer entertainment I got from reading the passage in Fortress where they're trying to track the bad computer guys using a 'ping' command over the network and it {paraphrasing) "echoes audibly round the chamber..." Yep, that was quite possibly the most hilarious thing I'd ever read... I think I was still chuckling when I went to sleep that night. Never ended up finishing the book though. Didn't have to, because nothing was going to top that laugh.

I wrecked my bike a couple of days ago, but thanks to the gloves I was wearing, no road rash on my hands! Only a broken thumb. This is making using my mouse at work difficult, so technically OSHA.

Phanatic posted:"Bears don't really growl." Then they post a video of two bears growling almost constantly while fighting. Um if you read the article it is pretty clear that that is not a growl because biologists have a specific definition of what growling is based on how the animal produces the sound and that might sound like growling to you but it's actually classified as grunting or roaring DUH
