I wonder how long it took the titanic to make it to the ocean floor when it sank
Not long. About 6-10 minutes

I think I saw a clip where the main hatch was only sealed by 4 bolts by design? The ppl who went on that thing are dumb for not seeing the signs
It had like 18 or something, but they would only bolt 4 cause the pressure would seal it once they were under, and I guess they were lazy and wanted to save time. But on one descent the fricking end came off as they were about to go in cause the 4 bolts sheared off.
You were bolted into the thing. Getting out without outside assistance was impossible.

I've seen multiple interviews where it seems like every time it went down, someone was hearing a pop.
The fact he said he put ear plugs because it got so loud is pretty fricking telling.
I didn't realize it had two different hulls, and one was already replaced for cracking. The first one was about to implode around dive 50, after only two really deep dives.
The second one imploded at what, dive 82 (which was technically dive ~32 with the new hull) . And only deep dive 13.
Basically, the thing had a deep dive expectancy of about 2-10. Really zero, it was immediately compromised after one deep dive and was a ticking time bomb on every deep descent.
I don't know if it was ego, money, or if he was just in denial. But frick that guy.

IMO, a playstation controller wasnt the worst idea by far. It was the most tested, reliable, and durable thing on the sub.

Anyone else watch this yet? I searched, but didnt see any mentions.
Holy shite, Stockton Rush was a complete POS.
That sub had so many issues it wasnt fit to have people in it 100 meters down, much less 3000 meters.
Shame on him.

Outdoor tv: Any moisture issues?
Posted by NATidefan on 4/24/25 at 8:29 pm
So, I just hung an old tv on my deck. It's completely covered and will never get wet, but will be exposed to southern humdity. Anyone had any issues with that? Or as long as it doesnt get wet you're good? It's old, so Im not real worried about, more curious if I upgrade later.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Lmao. By warming the spigot up to a absolute max temp (that it wont get anywhere near) of about 80 degrees (probably more like 50)?
I think itll be ok. It gets warmer than that in the summer.

Too late once the house is built, but if you are building a house specify the freeze-proof faucets. They shut off back in the wall where it’s warm.
I would loke to have mine that way and could do it. But would take alot of pipe running to change it for basically one day out of the year I have to worry about it.

I’m guessing that there are a lot of individual factors we aren’t considering when determining when which pipes freeze
Covers work by helping trap heat radiating from the house and blocking wind. If your house doesnt radiate that much out there may not be enough heat to trap.
Could be fine with just those. But Ive had them freeze before when it was just in the low 20s for about 12 hours at night when I didnt have covers. This will be the coldest its been, rather be safe then sorry.

It is -6 here and we got the first water main break of the year. City crew was out with an end loader scraping ice off the road.
I have no covers on my outdoor faucets and never have.
Never even heard of them before
Thats great, but the last two years I didnt have covers and just let them drip and I was out there with a torch defrosting them.
Id rather avoid that. Covers alone should be fine after tomorrow, but I didnt want to risk with the 10 degrees.
