    12:16 brings back some memories.
    I used to work at National Instruments manufacturing. The 9234 was an infamous bastard. Getting those external coaxial connectors mounted to the PCB was an exercise in patience because we did it on the surface mounted assembly lines, but the mechanical support/ground leads had to go through holes, and none of the suppliers could be assed to make those leads within the tolerance required by the PCB. We ended up enlarging the holes by a factor of about 1.5 and mounting the connectors manually.

      The half-inch grip is really dangerous, btw, unless expert rockclimbers. The curvature of the fingers can cause "bowstring" failures, where the tendons rip from their moorings and go straight. I've come close to it myself. It was painful for weeks.
      I guess that's why Grant let go almost immediately, not because of slippage. His nerves were sending him a message: we're outa here, stat.

    @Halvblodsprinsen100 Месяц назад

    So, i see a lot of people asking why they stayed where the window was. First of all, we all are seeing this after it happened. So for us, it is obvous what the correct choice would be. Second, there is also a logic to have an opening nereby if/when someone drops, so that they can enter back in throught that and then get released from the harness once they are on a solid floor. Is this the best assessment, obviously it wasnt. But that is just one quick reasoning for why they did it like that, and they might have had more reasons.

      That's an elementary understanding of physics (not trying to be a jerk I promise) because it assumes all objects are "perfect" in transferring momentum like they teach you in school. Truth is adding liquid gives more of the solid bits an opportunity to transfer energy before "bouncing off".

      Think about it in terms of energy. An object traveling at speed brings energy into the collision. A stationary wall doesn't bring any energy with it, so a collision into a wall will only have 70 mph worth of energy in the event. In order to approximate a collision between two 70 mph objects with a single moving object and a wall, you need double the energy that a 70 mph object would have, so you double the speed. Technically you should also double the mass if you're simulating two identical objects colliding, but for this sort of test, doubling the speed is close enough.
      Kinetic Energy= 1/2 Mass x Velocity squared so a head on between two objects at 70 mph will inflict (roughly) the same damage as hitting at wall at 140 mph because the kinetic energy of two 70 mph objects is about the same as one 140 mph object.

      How far would you travel going 70mph for an hour?

      @@resurgam_b7 Yes, an object traveling at speed brings energy but it absorbs energy also, and a car is a lot less heavy and has a lot higher plasticity than a wall so it will absorb a lot more energy. If two cars crash in a head on collision both wil absorb half of the energy present in the crash.

      I think that's only the case when the 2 masses cancel each other.
      A cup will not cancel the mass of the car. As a result, the mass of the car is added to the result minus the mass of the cup. The car will, therefore, add energy to the collision.
