    Wondered if there’d be anything left to eventually wash ashore or how long it took for them to die and if they suffered.

    Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:

    When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.

    The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.

    A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (senseâ'reasonâ'act) is at best 150 milliseconds.

    The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.

    When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.

    The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

    So you are saying the Titanic is getting ashy?  Holy Shit, now this I gotta see, anyone got a ride?

  2. So the wife this morning asked me when I think they will find this.  My response was never.  I then indicated that this would be like finding a tic tac in our garage that has been crushed, in the dark, while probing with some twine from our roof.  

    Scientists, is my basic premise apt?

    I thought about this…if you knocked out someone would you gain more time? Less people breathing? Asking for a friend.

    Gotta be honest, if I know we are pressed for time on air like they potentially are, I'd have killed the CEO guy days ago.  I doubt there would have been much argument over this with the rest of the "crew".

    Some gold from that thread:

     

    I think we've found society's biggest problem, all of our action heroes are at a minimum in AARP or at worst in their late 70s and barely clinging to life (yet still shooting films).  Statham is 55.  

     

    Fucking kids these days, can't even give us any bullshit action heroes.

    It's just people fantasizing. There is zero chance a Seal Team 6 goes in Osama bin Laden style to secure a nuclear plant held by Russian forces who may already have the ability to blow it up at any time.

    One thing you can count on regarding representative governments is that they will always lean towards being reactive. Always. No one gets credit for fixing a problem before it gets worse. You just get blamed for doing something that was always "unnecessary" in the first place, even if the action prevented a much worse problem from occurring. 

    We're not going to do shit about this nuclear power plant until Ukraine gains control of the area. Yes, by then it's likely going to be too late. At least there's some kind of monitoring going on, both with Ukrainian workers still at the plant, the state owned enterprise Energoatom, and the toothless but useful IAEA, and its idealistic and tireless but ultimately ineffectual director general, Rafeal Grossi. 

    I have my fingers crossed Russia isn't going to do something stupid with this nuclear plant, but Russia. That's the best we can hope for realistically, IMO. 

    I'm as hawkish as any about us getting involved (even to the point of going hot over this if the right circumstances exist), but to be quite frank, this is accurate.  We won't be doing anything about it, and if it plays out in the worst case scenario even then I doubt we would actively do anything beyond upping our current support level for the Ukrainians.  That's a shit deal for the Ukrainians, and I don't like it one bit.

    But that’s not even a fair valuation. The more accurate way would be if you weren’t using your F-150, but you were paying $X/month to keep it in a storage shed and maintained in semi-working order while knowing that you were most likely going to pay an additional $X to have it disposed of in a few years. Because that’s what most of what we’ve sent has been. We’re technically saving money with a lot of shit we’re sending.

    I think you just described the next batch of found money, the differential between giving it away and warehousing this stuff.  Probably several billion more of found money.  Accounting can be very creatively fun at this level.

    The current two, Todd Blanche and Chris Kise, seem to be the pick of the litter and know what they're doing, although I think Kise is mostly/only a civil litigator.  But, Kise has already been banished once for telling Trump what he doesn't want to hear and they both may suffer the same fate.

    What will be funny is when he has no competent lawyers left, he will miss some mundane paperwork to extend a delay and will wind up on trial even quicker.  Each week he loses a couple of attorneys, it's a matter of time before he is down to the parking lot lawyer Habba (who might be a material witness against him, and forced to recuse) and some sort of crackpot personal injury lawyer (the Miami Hammer or some bullshit like this).  Sort of like the Alex Jones's lawyer sending his entire text message history, not realizing it, missing the date to claw it back despite the heads up from the plaintiff's attorney.  Something like that is coming down the pike.

    My Dad was a witness/guinea pig for the Army at a nuclear test in Nevada in 1956.

    The troops were hunkered down in an 8’ deep trench only 1,000 yards from ground zero and the 20kt bomb tethered in a balloon to a steel tower to simulate an air burst.

    After the detonation there were no immediate human casualties except for a couple of grunts who were cut up a bit from the shovelers after a part of a trench collapsed.

    I don't know you well enough to say that this would explain some things, but.................

    Again, chapter eleven billion in Brisket kicking himself for not getting in in scamming these gullible morons. Enrich myself. Destroy the lives of people who are trying to wreck the republic. Win-win.

    When does the prospectus come out for your MS-13 insurance scam (I meant plan)?  I'm very interested, I think the return would be quite nice.

    NAFO stuff still cracks me up

     

    Sorry for partying.

     

    In all seriousness, PTSD will be bad for everyone involved in this shitfest, but in all honesty it may well be best that virtually all the Russians that are in Ukraine die there.  I have a good sense that the Ukrainians will do all that they can for their people (it won't make it easy), but that the Russians won't do shit for these guys and they are going to be a complete mess.
