Legally, elon is not allowed to hold any management position within spacex because otherwise they would immediately lose the contract due to him smoking weed live on a stream, which is still a federal offence which hence precludes a company he manages from bidding on government contracts, lol.

thats how it works for normal people. not billionaires. anyways he has a clearance so what are you even talking about. also see kushner

I find your implication that I’m dumb and don’t understand pretty goon-:smug:

Im a mech E undergrad, MS Systems engineering and have developed/deployed a web app that can take a photo of any US coin since the 1860s and classify what it is (eg barber dime) with 97% accuracy using a DL model I gathered the data for and trained using pytorch. I’d say I have a better understanding than most.

Cool now make it 99.9999%

It’s better for my back to shovel early in a big storm and then again a few hours later if it’s heavy enough. But then again, I’m not doing a sidewalk next to a god drat thunder dome of plows

I was actually in a swamp field just like that a few weeks ago. It was like standing on a water bed. Got an excavator good and stuck in it and had to pull it out. Good times. It basically scrapped further down into the mud and created a 5 foot deep pit pulling it out until it hit something dry. Could not really break through with my boots, when I did all the insane amount of roots kept me from sinking too much

its not a void full of water its a elastic mix of peaty mud soils, root, and a lot of water, very inconsistently mixed. you dont break through and enter some sort of water chamber below a crust. it's basically really hard to sink more than a leg in in that stuff, even as watery as it looks, even if you completely removed the top surface. otherwise that top surface would never last

There's a variety of matted wetland conformations. Someone post the video of the Russian guys diving into a hole and swimming out of a pond 15 feet away; that one is definitely not a solid sponge.

The local variety in Louisiana you usually punch through into a marsh you can probably normally tread water in except your feet are tangled in a mat of poo poo now. To be fair these usually don't get as thick as to let you dance on them, you usually step in and shloop, hope you don't have a pack on.

if it's a moss surface directly next to a body of water that's a bit different from what I was thinking of but yeah you're right

From the replies, looks like there's an ID and another angle of the crash. Can't wait to see it if it ends up on "Just Rolled In" later.

i had a coworker be the bucket and go through the glass once. (he fell forward somehow while trying to get out) you would think they would make that so if a human fell into it it wouldnt shatter and land them in the hospital but there you go

do you think elon knows cybertruck is the laughing stock of vehicle testing industry right now because it's finally showing up to test tracks and getting stuck in the easy sections meant for the crossovers. perhaps the solution all along was to fill the space with water so it can float over the obstacle

how many normal sized balloons of hydrogen do you think you could string together and pop before it becomes dangerously concussive

ethanol
Jul 13, 2007



Safety Dance posted:

One YouTube channel or another (I can't remember the name, the one where the presenter is an older man from Maine) did a video on this topic, and the conclusion was hydrogen burns too slowly. You need a premix of hydrogen and oxygen in the right ratio to get a really good concussive blast.

yeah that's what I was leading at.. and you probably get a bigger bang with a single balloon without the sort of chain reaction going on there, but even then.. needs to be premixed to really do some damage.. but I assume there is some size where it's still going to make a big enough bang? or will it just hindenberg / be more flames unless it's premixed.

is there a point where you have so much hydrogen / not enough oxygen it's less concussive and more of a slower flame front like that I guess is what I'm asking.. or will they all pop with the same brief snap you see in a science class with a single baloon but in quick succession.

I want a demo vid on it thanks
