    If your looking for me
    You better check under the sea
    Cause that is where you’ll find me
    Underneath the
    Sealab, Underneath the water
    Sealab, At the bottom of the sea.

    About 4 years late, but whatever.

        Add in “But harvesting it angered the psychic primordial shark that we worship as a god.” And you’ve got the rough plot for the water planet from Kotor 1.

    A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.

    This is for the oil and gas industry.

    Ain’t nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.

    Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.

    Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

      I’m having mixed feelings. Are we going here or not? On one hand no censoring… On the other hand… No censoring. Also doom, but there’s also doom here too.

          Perhaps. But I think I may have figured out their logic… no bears under water. So they won’t have to worry about bear attack while drowning from lack of maintenance

            Yeah, they wouldn’t need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, “No single drop thinks it’s to blame for the flood” very much.

            i doubt they’d have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.

            Grafton, not Keene. Keene did have some free staters, but the cryptocurrency sovereign citizen pedophile kind.

              Oh yeah! Grafton. Got those two mixed up lmao. They cut the towns taxes to zero and couldn’t pay the garbage pickup. That brought the bears who proceeded to rule the town.

    Because of its narcotic effect at high pressure, nitrogen shouldn’t be breathed by humans at depths below about 60 meters. So, at 200 meters, the breathing mix in the habitat will be 2 percent oxygen and 98 percent helium. But because of its very high thermal conductivity, “we need to heat helium to 31–32 °C to get a normal 21–22 °C internal temperature environment,”

    😮

        Hmm… maybe not? The low density of helium at 1 atm is what causes the amplification of higher frequencies in the voicebox, but in a pressurized container the gas would be higher density so it might offset the effect… I think?

        Apparently when doing saturation diving like that you can’t even understand what the other person says, between the helium and the pressure the voice is too distorted to be intelligible.

        You can communicate with a computer that transforms your voice to be intelligible but it is really not a pleasant conversation so you can stay there for weeks without having a conversation except for the bare minimum.

      What they mean is they will need to use the amount of energy that you would normally put into air to get it to 31° C, but the helium will only get to 21° C. At no point will the helium actually be 31° C.
