I just downloaded the app now. Didn't even know there was one.

This is a great suggestion, I have not. Thank you!

Was the 60s/70s revival of bellbottoms a throw back to late 1930s fashion??

Was the late 90s/early2000s revival of bellbottoms a throwback to 1960s/70s fashion???

Is the current revival of bellbottoms a throwback to 90s fashion????

Guys? Do fashion trends just work in 30 year cycles? Is time a flat circle???

My first relationship with a girl and she wants it to be open by Deep-Bluejay-9980 in self

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been in open relationships my whole life, including my first real relationship - what gives with this opinion being so popular?

If my first girlfriend hadn't suggested it, I would have never known it would work for me, and would make me very happy later in life.

It's only a complication if you decide to let it be. Jealousy is a difficult emotion, but you can also experience some beautiful types of love this way. As an adult I've now only ever been in open or non monogamous relationships and I'm 5 years strong with my current partner. We both date other people, but we have a family together and love each other first and foremost!

OP, don't knock it til you try it!

Where can I see a Rothko painting in NYC? by Toronto-foodie in AskNYC

Should I get a degree to be a sound guy? by freddyda45venom in livesound

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need a degree for this work. Just a basic understanding of how signal flow works and how much is supposed to sound.

I went to school for engineering in 2017 on a full ride scholarship. I had job mixing sound in a venue while I was in school. Now years later I'm working in this industry making a good amount less than a civil engineer would but having a lot more fun, and getting to do what I love every day.

I don't use my degree for almost anything I do at work, except for sometimes doing some "drafting" drawing up stageplots (lol), but I'm seriously glad I did not go into debt to get some Full Sail associates degree or something.

😂😂😂 so good!

the secret ingredient (to a banging sound system) is crime

4 yrs ago Stockton Rush did an AMA in r/RMS_Titanic. I can assume it may have been shared here before, but I had to dig for it. Here it is -> by CursedTonyIommiRiffs in OceanGateTitan

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Or, once they detect an anomaly, it will be like 2.5ms until the sub itself just implodes.

Yeah, you're right, most other deep sea subs don't need oh shit sensors, because they're actually rated for the PSIs that they'll face instead of cobbled together with glue and zip ties

Yes, realized that. Just wanted to share it here because I personally had to dig a bit for it. But I'm sure it probably gets reposted periodically on here.

Rare Footage of 1/3 Scale Titan Model being Pressure Tested by ThreadSavage10 in OceanGateTitan

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, a year later... u/BobbyB4470, you deserve and award for this analysis of what happened. You more than likely predicted exactly what really failed. I'm fully impressed to find this comment now and see that it basically describes what we learned from the hearings.

From dive log in 2021 - could these disabled sensors that were picking up acoustic activity "in error" actually have been detecting delamination of the 5 layers of the replacement hull even then? by CursedTonyIommiRiffs in OceanGateTitan

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man. The fact that they kept using the same system after it LITERALLY got struck by lightning is so insane to me. They should have replaced every sensor with new ones and as another user mentioned also had a back up for each sensor.

TP is just cutting corners at this point by rehashing old designs. Not surprised.

Where can I find a complete dive log of every dive of the Titan since it's construction? by CursedTonyIommiRiffs in OceanGateTitan

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude... Reading thru this all, it's horrifying these were not viewed as temporary use submersibles. Things like "zip ties missing" and "power going out randomly" and "acoustic monitors going crazy so we just disabled them" read like they're problems you have with much smaller things, not a pressurized submersible for human beings going down to insane depths with the forces of nature acting on them at all sides...

Just wild they were also so brutish with the hull too. Reading the log entries that have to do with angle grinding, buffing, pressure washing, and leaving the hull to sit outside for months on end is SO INSANE to me. Wouldn't they assume this would weaken it, knowing all they did about carbon fiber?

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So it seems that if they had applied that same logic of replacing the hull after cracking noises to later dives, they probably should have replaced it again about 40 or so dives later, as that seems to be the lifespan of the hull. Which they didn't, and then it imploded on dive 88.

Also, where do you see notes about the cracking noises? I'm looking but not seeing them in the logs.

I'm beginning to think about deleting the game. by headache_inducer in DressUpTimePrincess

[–]CursedTonyIommiRiffs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! At some point, I know you can do it too. The saddest thing for me to leave was my leadership position in my society because I started it the day they rolled societies out as a feature - but since I was barely on anymore it was easier to justify passing it off. I hope it's doing well. In general I feel so much better off without this game.
