I wonder how long a typical trip there and back would be. Even if I knew, for certain, I was going to come back ok, I don't know if I want to be that close to people for that long.

I took 7 shits today. The first one in the morning before work was solid, the rest were basically diarrhea. The first two of the loose ones were the normal brown color, then 3&4 were like a dark green from the farmers market collards I had yesterday for dinner (very tasty btw). Here's where it got weird. 5 (or 6 overall) was brown again, and 6 (7), which was just a few small spurts, was back to dark green. Not sure if it's a full moon or whatever but feels like the twilight zone up in here.

was reading that at the depth they were at, water pressure was at over 5500psi

by comparison, an oxygen tank used in welding is at 2200psi. Now imagine what it would be like if you open an oxygen tank completely in your garage.

assuming it was possible, opening the valve on it at 5500 PSI would mean that water would rush into the oxygen tank at more than twice the rate the air would have come out in your garage

They were atomized instantly, or rather, their bodies, which, like all bodies, are mostly made up of water, immediately mingled with the source from which it had come. Maybe a stray bone fragment floated to the bottom...

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

Diversity Hires



Jeez
Feminism: Eve eats ALL the apples, gives God the middle finder when He confronts her, and has the serpent serve Adam with an injunction ordering him to both stay away from her AND to provide her food and shelter because he dragged her out of the Garden.

Well those submarine enthusiasts could have done research to learn about the sub company but chose not to. Personal responsibility is super important, IB. This proves it.

Pretty concise explanation of what happens when a vessel implodes at 12,000 feet...

Somebody started a thread on IC about ERCOT now that Texas is in the midst of a sweltering heat wave. Somebody commented that Houston is dry heat. That didn't go over well. I'll post some of the other comments for aTm's analysis:

I had to chuckle about the ERCOT plea for Texans to conserve energy during the heat of the day not because I am insensitive to the Texans impacted by the double whammy of extreme temperatures and an increasingly stressed grid, but because back in the day a lot of Texas energy people who had convinced California to move away from their extremely regulated energy model to a market model so thoroughly enjoyed the chaos caused in Cali when the market prices surged like this. It took several decades, but a slow boomerang is still a boomerang.

Edit to add that sadly, too many of the people who laughed at California are laughing all the way to the bank in Texas when they bring their dirty/low efficiency generators online to take advantage of the extreme price fluctuations during extreme weather.

WOW! That is so sad for the people of Texas. If only there was some way for Texas to get extra electricity in times like this in a reliable and cost regulated manner so Texans wouldn't freeze in winter, wouldn't bake in the summer, and wouldn't get gouged on price. Maybe call this coordinating entity something snappy like the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. But this pretty pie in the sky stuff. But instead of the ayconym being NAERC, maybe use NERC, because that would be suggestive of the nerds who would run it.

I’m reminded of Texans response to rapidly increasing in the early-mid ‘70’s with bumperstickers proclaiming, “Let ‘em freeze in the dark” or “Drive 80 mph, starve a Yankee.”

When oil prices plummeted in the mid-late ‘80’s, New Englanders responded with bumperstickers proclaiming, “Let ‘em rot in the sun.”

Governor Abbot assured the world that Texans would rather freeze than be beholding’ to the Federal govt. Right?

Recommended to set thermostat to 82 for when you’re asleep.

That’s a dead end for me. If the thermostat is at 82, they’ll be no sleeping going on.

Posted on Jun 21st, 2:21 AM, Dry climate? Have you been to Houston? Or Austin for that matter? Or Dallas? It ain’t El Paso.

Posted on Jun 21st,

Yeah I've been in Houston. It ain't NC, or Guyana, or Okinawa. It's relatively dry.

You sure you’ve been to the right Houston? The one nicknamed “The Bayou City”?

“Houston ranked just behind Corpus Christi, with both cities owning an average relative humidity of 89%.”

Are you crazy? Or amphibious? I have lived in NC for nearly 30 years and lived in Houston as an adult for 1.5 years. There is no humidity like Houston unless you live in Southeast Asia.
