I was taking the piss from an earlier post lol

Can’t drop your concentration on this thread for even a second.

Dougal Howard would be proper ****ed.

This thread really is just me running circles around the sub-par intellectual types.

It's my playground.

Here they come, Larry and Moe. Where's Curly to complete the trifecta?

Can still be stupid without being brave though.

I've managed that for decades

When I think of this tragic submarine incident, I remember my father saying to me as a young sprat..."The value of money changes in time and space." I did not know what the **** that old man was on about at the time. But I suppose possessing a billion dollars when you're stuck in a can at the bottom of the ocean alongside the Titanic has little worth in that moment.

I still not sure what my old man was trying to teach me. Anybody have any ideas how it relates to me let me know.

If you want to see guys with an adrenaline death wish watch free solo, there are other docos that make Alex honnold look like a safety nut. The alpinist is about as crazy as I’ve seen and meru is pretty good as well but Marc Andre leclerc was something else and the alpinist is can’t look away crazy, a must watch.

I’ll second this. Fantastic documentary. If not simply for the challenge itself, but Alex himself. He’s a strange unit.

Dard's about to go on tour, best of luck to him we know it must be hard

Yeh legitimate weirdo. Not even that sort of intense driven type weirdo just a weirdo.

Watch the alpinist it’s next level even honnold couldn‘t believe what this guy was doing, some incredible scenery as well, next level strange unit.

Marc-Andre, the alpinist, is presumed dead now, isn't he? At least he never returned from a climb, and his body (and that of his climbing partner) was never found. Speaks further to how crazy dangerous his climbing was.

I hope they got to see the Titanic before they died. I read earlier that the speed of which the ruptured vessel (and people inside) implode is quicker than the nerves in the body can react, so they likely were dead before they had any idea something was wrong.

I disagree with the people saying they weren't brave. It takes a lot of guts to make that trip.

Yes died in Alaska, avalanche I believe and ironically it may not have been the insane risks he often took that caused his death.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Yes we’ll I asked the ChatGPT app to come up with a new nickname for me.

Based on the information you provided, how about these nickname options for you:

1. "Electro Charger" - Combining your profession as an electrician with your love for racehorses, this nickname captures your expertise and passion.

2. "Gridiron Galloper" - A playful combination of your interest in Aussie Rules football and racehorses, highlighting your diverse sporting enthusiasm.

3. "Sparky Strider" - This nickname showcases your profession as an electrician while emphasizing your outgoing nature and active personality.

4. "Ale Jockey" - Incorporating your love for a good beer and racehorses, this nickname adds a touch of lightheartedness and camaraderie.

Feel free to mix and match or let me know if you'd like more options!

Yeah I’m not sure

I get claustrophobic climbing into a Hyundai, campaigners are crazy brave. You'd have to give me more than $450k US to even think about going in it.

Well they've found debris, looks like it imploded 4 days ago, I daresay the second communication was lost.

Gone in 20 milliseconds with a couple thousand tonnes of force

He's still alive. He plays for Gold Coast these days

Why is counting banned in Afghanistan?
Because they have a taliban

Two guys were robbing a bottle shop. One guy asks the other, "Is this whisky. The other guy replies, "not as whisky as wobbing a bank!"

Somehow, I became friends with only 25 letters of the alphabet. I don't know Y

So basic engineering failure?

It should be relatively easy to design a vessel for a known amount of pressure.

Just don't go down in a submarine unless you have a reason.
You can't see jack shit, its cramped, and generally horrible.
Space travel is probably even worse.

Not joking, the actual calculations are easy enough. ( I have a degree in engineering by the way ).
Otherwise gas cylinders would be exploding randomly all over the place.
( containers for internal pressure are very similar to those for external pressure, the original lunar module was designed for underwater work ).

Titan is supposed to go to 4000M , and if that was the case there must have been a flaw or fault or damage.

They have a space museum up in Carnarvon which has one of the landing modules from the old Apollo missions in it. And you can climb inside it and they close the doors and play an educational video on a screen inside.

I couldn’t even do that.

I read somewhere that the pressure differential in space is relatively mild compared to the deep sea. Like in the deepest ocean trenches nearly 1000 times stronger.

Carbon fibre a sick

Thoughts on carbon fibre as the choice of material?

Its the calculations that are easy.
They have made deep see submarines that go deeper from back in the 50s and 60s.
