Leperflesh posted:The great tragedy of Everest is not that it's so hard to get up, but that it's just slightly not hard enough. If it were just a bit more technical of a climb, tourists with no climbing experience would just not be able to manage it at all, and the death toll would be hundreds of people fewer. That's obviously incorrect. The prime reason there's far fewer attempts on K2 isn't the technical side, it's that it's not the tallest.

Hell, I'm surprised Youporn or someone hasn't sponsored it. Of course the real trophy is going to be for "First to bone whilst summiting Everest without supplemental oxygen."

To be fair... posted:The health range is all over the place from 40 all the way up to 180+. Resting heart rate is like 40-60 depending on level of athleticism and age. Resting 60-100 is the normal range, 40-60 is more athlete level.

So I haven't time to watch a long stream. What is his solution in the end? I mean if he's making and streaming superlong videos, presumably he's got some backup power thing going on.

From a quick Google 8-14 days seems the standard range to reach the Base Camp, specifically including multiple rest days. This guy definitely needs a couple of more days for his body to adapt before he sets off hiking again.

I wonder how many times it's descended? I wouldn't trust anything that's made repeated trips to that depth. It's pushing 400 atmospheres that far down.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/titanic-visiting-the-most-famous-shipwreck-in-the-world/ This whole operation sounds sketch as gently caress. Or at least way too sketchy to be taking passengers 2 miles down. quote:There's no GPS underwater, so the surface ship is supposed to guide the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages. Rush recalled, "I said, 'Do you know where we are?' '100 meters to the bow, then 470 to the bow. If you are lost, so are we!'"

Apparently they lost contact with the sub yesterday 1h:45m's into the dive. I'm assuming they're all dead and the operators have spent the time working up the nerve to announce that between sessions on the satphone talking to their lawyers about the best way of minimising their liability.

DurianGray posted:Even if it had a transponder, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference since I doubt there are any rescue subs that could get down to it in time (if any exist in the first place). I saw one article saying it's supposed to automatically surface if something goes wrong, but I'm guessing that didn't happen (and a transponder would help if it actually did surface). If it lost power, the ballast automatically drops. They rise to surface. If something else non-catastrophic happened, they could manually trigger it. They rise to surface. The fact they're not on the surface strongly suggests something quick and lethal like an implosion.

fizzy posted:The comment is saying that the for-profit company that organized this expedition should pay for the rescue costs, not the individual passengers in the submarine. That doesn't sound unreasonable. That company's already bankrupt, it's just a matter of time now.

wheatpuppy posted:Is there any failure-at-depth scenario that doesn't end with them imploded? The one article mentioned a "dead-man's switch" that would automatically release the sandbag ballast after a day or so. But even if that worked, they'd be non-buoyant if full of water, yeah? Nope.Theres no failure scenario where the hull just floods. Not at that pressure.If the hull failed in any way and lets water in catastrophic failure happens.The Titanium caps might be recognisible, everything else would be atomised.
