rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18632 | Was reading about how scientists have figured out how to read old folded material without unfolding it, because that destroys it when it is very fragile. That led me to look up "letterlocking"
Of course there are people on Youtube demoing various techniques of letterlocking. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Wrong. The Catholic Church knows everything. Just ask them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | it's good to watch one of these just to remind yourself you're completely out of the loop and can barely understand what they are talking about [just speaking for myself of course] even though they don't use any pertinent math. If they did ... well, I won't go there I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Found this in the "what movies have you seen thread" which led to some interesting stuff, you can check it out http://diversitytomorrow.com/thread/564/367/#post158877 in any case check this video out for how horrifying and risky it is to go way down deep diving, even for experts I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18632 | Deep cave diving is pretty crazy. The sinkhole dives they do here in Florida are pretty badass as well as some of those have passages you can follow for a long distance. I imagine the money for a deep water cave recovery operation could be pretty good. Not worth it for most I bet at any price.

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | I've heard that there is some deep hole in Minnesota [?] that criminals like to use, anything you throw in it will never be discovered as it is way too deep. One of those states up there. There is even speculation about Lake Tahoe, you can google that I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Burning sulphur emits a blue flame. the narrator doesn't explain this well. Kind of cool. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
