I don't care enough about any of you fucks to actually wish you a Merry Christmas on Christmas day. Burn in hell for a long time.

Merry Christmas I guess. My favourite Christmas gift I ever got was Quake 3 Arena.

Nothing · 25th December 2016, 18:38

I think my favourite was one of the original Quake mission packs. Scourge of Armagon if I recall correctly.

MadMax · 26th December 2016, 12:34

brought a bunch of steam vouchers at $20 each for some of my cousins. winter season specials and all they should be able to buy at least a couple of GGs each

StN · 26th December 2016, 13:42

Guess it was his last Christmas.

I wonder if anyone will leave flowers outside the dunny at Roy Rogers park?

Lightspeed · 26th December 2016, 13:51

They just played a little tribute on the cricket, without explicitly mentioning why.

RIP George Michael.

Died relatively young, peacefully at home. Almost died of pneumonia a few years ago. Is it stereotyping to wonder if it was HIV rather than cancer?

Either way, rip

COAL FUEL CAN'T MELT STEEL HULLS

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7504236.html

Quote:

More than 1,500 passengers lost their lives when the Titanic sank on route to New York from Southampton in April 1912.

While the cause of the disaster has long been attributed to the iceberg, fresh evidence has surfaced of a fire in the ship’s hull, which researchers say burned unnoticed for almost three weeks leading up to the collision.
...
A team of 12 men attempted to put out the flames, but it was too large to control, reaching temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius.

Subsequently, when the Titanic struck ice, the steel hull was weak enough for the ship’s lining to be torn open.

Lightspeed · 3rd January 2017, 16:35

Damn, that would be some fire. I wonder how it started? Design flaw, or some kind of accident?

Nothing · 3rd January 2017, 20:57

It was on fire while it was in port, and they put it out to sea anyway? If that's true, it's so stupid it hurts my brain.

StN · 3rd January 2017, 22:47

^^ Rumour has it that's why they backed it into the mooring, so the damaged side would be starboard and the passengers wouldn't see the discoloured hull.

Could you imagine a deep fire in a coal store 3 stories high? No way that EVER gets extinguished. You'd just have to let it burn itself out.

It'd be too expensive and too impacting to PR not to. That's Go Fever for you.

blynk · 4th January 2017, 10:51

Maybe the captain decided the iceberg would put the fire out.

Lightspeed · 4th January 2017, 14:44

Now I want to know how deep the Titanic was before the coal extinguished. Assuming it was actually burning.

Surely they could have gotten a bunch of dudes with buckets and just shovelled the coal out. Or gotten a big hose and hosed it all? It's not like it was an electric fire.

I'm not serious about any particular solution I suggest, but I am serious about the suggestion that there must have been something that could have been done about it.

No, they wouldn't have been able to make a difference. Deep coal fires get too hot - water simply evaporates - and if you try to remove the coal (assuming you could get close enough) you get chased out by toxic gas. And if you DID get deep enough there's a better-than-even chance of causing an explosion from ingassing of oxygen

CCS · 5th January 2017, 17:17

Were their coal stores not able to be fully closed off so as to starve the fire of oxygen?

crocos · 5th January 2017, 17:21

Good question, no idea - my comments were mostly based on reading I've done on coal-seam fires. Doesn't seem to be an option there, so might not be an option here either.
