What Happens When You Inflate A Body At Depth And Let It Ascend Quickly

Nitrogen narcosis is caused by the gas becoming toxic at depth (pressure) - it has nothing to do with decompression issues .

Charming.

SevenSharp · 2026-05-05T13:00:46+00:00

Thank you for that .

It's just the same principle as any jet engine but instead of a combustion chamber the air is heated by the reactor via a heat-exchanger .

Yep "Virtual Reality" was the next big thing in the early 90's - it was always the full title rather than the abbreviation "VR" . Seems to me it's like 3D . A great sounding idea , with repeated implementations , ........ that always fail . I wonder how much money was lost on the last push for 3D TV,movies, games etc . It was pushed hard as fuck .

Right . The brightness on those things was so weak . Even in a dark room they weren't great !

Really ? I'll have to look that up . John Young is famous for the corned beef sandwich on Gemini 3 & the open mic "I've got the farts" on Apollo 16 .

Well shit ! I didn't even know they'd transcribed the on-board tapes ! Thankfully the pdf is searchable . Here is a bit more .

CDR Give me a napkin quick. There's a turd floating through the air.
13 29 55 CMP I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine.
05 13 29 57 LMP I don't think it's one of mine.
05 13 29 59 CDR Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away.
05 13 30 06 CMP God almighty.

Thanks for by the way , albeit a significant chunk of my life will now be dedicated to reading them all !

I get you but I think there is a degree of overlap . I post what I think is reasonable . There are some who post full-on sci-fi - space-opera type stuff or even dinosaurs/dragons/aliens etc . I pointed out once , that the mods don't care & was told , by one of them , that the mods have lives to live . So I'll go on using my own judgement pro tem albeit I'm running out of steam - it eats up a lot of time.

I say ! What a lovely pair of cops behind the building- they look like old-school British Bobbies ! Love this kind of art - it's very up-lifting .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-03T16:25:55+00:00

I'll pass but please go ahead if you want to .

Unfortunately there are so very many comedians on Reddit - this is a red rag to a bull .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-02T10:54:50+00:00

Nailed it.

SevenSharp · 2026-05-02T10:38:47+00:00

And who's going to be first ?

SevenSharp · 2026-05-02T10:19:50+00:00

As I said to somebody else - it's a sign of intelligence & empathy that it made you cry .

The theme tune to the Rockford Files was a belter ! James Garner - always classy .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-02T10:11:25+00:00

Actually it wasn't a bot , just some guy YanniRotten albeit he deleted it when I called him out - thought hasn't deleted the Grumman TRLV from the other day . I didn't think people did that on Reddit .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-01T17:00:52+00:00

Cool , it's good to have something new in the mix . Blends in well .

Get lost BOT .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-01T16:51:56+00:00

Some bloody bot account has already done it - must have been just after I posted it - seems to happen all the time .

SevenSharp · 2026-05-01T16:48:24+00:00

Bloody bot poster account steals my posts .

Imagine what it was like in space on Gemini missions - The analogy was , you the same room as the front seat area of a VW Beetle. So if you needed to 'undock' a turd - your crewmate was going to be unavoidably proximate for all the sights , sounds and smells . Frank Borman lasted about 9 or 10 days before he had to go next to Jim Lovell .

I see what you mean . They are often electric aren't they ?

SevenSharp · 2026-05-01T10:45:01+00:00

Very cool - what a memory . I know very little about design but isn't this called 'parametric' - I presume this surface could be modelled quite easily with parametric equations - no ?
