  • Let's do it:

    The phenomenon that causes divers to be trapped is called differential pressure, or Delta P. It requires surprisingly little Delta P to trap divers in such a way that they can't free themselves.

    The formula is simple: F=Δp⋅A

    Δp = Differential pressure, A = the area the differential pressure acts on, in our case the cross sectional area of the pipe.

    Example:

    30 cm pipe => A = π⋅(0,15)² m²

    Delta P only (!!!) 0.1 bar (= 10 kPa).

    F = 10,000 Pa ⋅ 0.07 m² ≈ 700 N. This equals roughly 71 kg of weight.

    Now, let's try this with the numbers above. Unfortunately, we don't know the diameter of the pipe so let's again assume 30 cm:

    Δp = 21.375 - 14.7 psi = 6.675 psi ≈ 0.46 bar = 46 kPA

    F = 46,000 Pa ⋅ 0.07 m² ≈ 3250 N.

    => You would be sucked to this pipe opening with a force of roughly 330 kg. In other words, you're fucked.

    For fun, let's assume a 50 cm diameter pipe:

    F = 46,000 Pa ⋅ 0.196 m² ≈ 9020 N.

    This equals roughly 920 kg of weight.

    => There is absolutely no escape here and I think it's safe to assume the diver would be sucked through that pipe.

    And finally, to answer your question (I'll skip the math here), a 10 cm diameter pipe with the same Delta P would mean 37 kg of weight. I think it would be possible to escape in this scenario, but it'll not be effortless.

  • I want my doctor to be honest with me, and give it to me straight, like a pear cider that's made from 100% pears.

  • My grandpa was shot by fascists because he refused to fight in their fascist army. So in my book, lazer mullets that kill fascists are the best kind of mullets.

  • Jo. Genau das ist das Problem. Neben der unfassbaren Kommerzialisierung im allgemeinen ist das Münchner Meisterabonnement der zweite Grund, warum mir Fussball komplett fremd, unwichtig und nebensächlich geworden ist. Beim WM-Finale 1990 noch als Teen begeistert am TV geklebt, werde ich diese WM nicht mehr verfolgen.

    Einem Bundesligaclub zu folgen und bei seinen Spielen mitfiebern fühlt sich nicht mehr viel anders an, als einem Börsenkurs eines DAX-notierten Unternehmens zu folgen. Da kommt in etwa die gleiche emotionale Verbindung auf.

    Am Ende gewinnt dann eine der versammelten Millionärstruppen. Und in Deutschland isses obendrein noch immer dieselbe. Hurra. Konfetti.

    Nichts ist mehr im Free-TV, alles kostet extra, DAZN hält richtig die Hand auf. Und dort höre ich Sportreporter, die, statt wie früher Wontorra, Hartmann oder Hansch authentisch zu kommentieren hauptsächlich Fake-Begeisterung ins Mikro schauspielern.

    Schön, wenn da noch einer Spaß dran haben kann, dem gönne ich das auch. Aber ich bin aus der Nummer endgültig raus.

    What's your Don Martin sound effect name?

  • the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done

    Seems like you went to the more touristy places. Or Munich. Or a touristy place in Munich. They tend to be a little brusque and unfriendly there... It really pays off to look for places on Maps which are highly rated and a little off the beaten path. Some real gems there. I could name a few restaurants in Berlin which serve awesome German (!= Bavarian!) food that isn't repetitive.

  • As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn't enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.

  • Here's my theory: All diplodocuses, much like all brontosauruses, are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine, and what it is too.

  • If this comment saves only one person from wasting their money, it is worth it:

    Do not buy Focal Bathys.

    The build quality is super cheap, mine broke not even two years after purchase. The plastic surrounding the metal bits that connect the central part to the ear pads will break sooner or later.

  • Nah, you can absolutely use any type of salsiccia you like. I happen to love fennel seeds in the resulting dish so I use that type.

  • Yeah, I forgot to mention pre cooking the pasta. Thanks for spotting this.

  • I hate how accurate this is.

  • This is also how they end.

  • I never specifically said "joining US military is bad", I said joining the military in general is a bad thing. And neither did I talk about nukes, which are the ultimate evil.

    I also never demanded to remove the military capabilities of one country, leaving it open for other countries to attack. I never talked about these things, about balance of power, about mutually assured destruction and all these geostrategic aspects of military logic.

    All I said was - if you are a person who joins your country's military, I despise you. Period. This is a statement I made completely disregarding all these other aspects you mention, and it is completely logically valid on its own.
