>+5 plus years.

Ehm, sorry, 5 years ago? Try 20. Here’s Phil Askey, founder of DPReview (RIP) on the Minolta DiMAGE X in 2002:

>Just when you thought a 2 megapixel, 3x optical zoom digital camera couldn't get any smaller Minolta turn things on their heads (literally) and produce the diminutive DiMAGE X. This shirt-pocket sized digital camera is just 20 mm thin (0.8 in) and 84 x 72 mm (3.3 x 2.8 in) from the front and weighs in (fully loaded) at just 155 g (5.5 oz). With specs like that you'd be expecting a fixed focal length lens, but no Minolta have innovated, the zoom mechanism is actually on its side within the body of the camera with a prism reflecting the image seen through the first lens element (Minolta dub this 'Folded Optics').

I actually prefer “folded optics,” but looks like periscope is likely going to be the way. Suppose it sounds ‘cooler’ or something.

So your saying wsb shat all over your account? Plausible.

Speak for yourself. I don’t actually like to cuck. I only cuck because I’m forced too 😔

Not a good place to be.

What did you say you little birch? You obviously know nothing about gorilla warfare.

I just steal canned air from Walmart and inhale it the washroom. Then I open up my packs of Pokémon cards that I stole, hoping to get a holographic Charzard.

If you ever see a pile of Pokémon cards and a few spent cans of compressed air in the toilet, you’ll know I was there. Life is a pretty sweet fruit.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target.

>but the chance of that happening is as about as low as me making profit off of SPY calls.

There’s no such thing as a guaranteed investment, but I think I may have just found the Holy Grail of ROI. Anything that inverses this guy‘s SPY calls is going to print, so, meth it is.

Lol watch out guys we got a badass over here!

Lines. Impressive.

No one should ever be able to wear t-shirts. I want to “cancel” t-shirts. I would feel extremely owned if some freedum fighters were to wear only t-shirts in that weather.

Holy shit would I ever feel owned.

Could be really warm. No one knows with these bizarre weather patterns.

Hey Harry, I bet you I can get you gambling by the end of the day.

You’re on!

Ok. I’m gonna get you… don’t know how, but I’m gonna get you.

Sounds like user wobbly cheese has been drinking too many wobbly pops

Far, far spendier 😂

Well, yeah, I was trying to say that it’s not likely anyone that could survive would need to do it in the first place.

Don’t know, maybe a really thick sleeping bag and loads of those hot shots things, tie yourself down so you don’t fall out, and then you slip into a little coma and maybe you can thaw out and survive. People have survived really nasty snowstorms on Everest I believe for days. All of their extremities have died off due to frostbite, but their system kept on ticking.

I just like to think about all the various factors and I’m bored at work right now.

Probably coz I made the boneheaded move of spelling Strait like Straight. D’oh!

Also, it’s pretty much a fact that in a lot of waters, the temperature is cold enough to shut down your muscles after 10 minutes. You’d be lucky (or unlucky) to stay alive longer than 11 minutes total.

Even if in the highly unlikely event someone noticed you in the water, after the propulsion of the vessel tossed you around like a rag doll, it would still take ages to slow the ship down and send out a rib. So your chance of survival without a PFD is incredibly limited. It’s a super deadly environment that these guys were in.

I don’t follow you here.

With the most high end, Mount Everest quality gear, supplemental oxygen, and having a fairly upbeat attitude during your 10 hours of pure hell, you could survive.

You’re basically ascending to a bit higher than Mount Everest within less than an hour. So the ambient air pressure (‘thin’ air) will be equivalent to absorbing 1/3 the oxygen you’re used to (iirc), so you’d obviously pass out. I’d tether myself, just in case.

Having the oxygen concentrator would help with that but I’m not sure how the battery would be able to handle the cold. You’d have to keep it close to your body in a heavily insulated bag.

So I’d say, someone with a good amount of cash and technical know how should be able to survive, but someone very poor with some ill-fitting gear has a much lower chance of survival. That’s if they have even the slightest clue about what they’re about to go through.

They could take turns sleeping while the others keep them safe. 4 hours of sleep, 8 hours awake to watch your buddy. Not saying it would be a very comfortable sleep, but they obviously survived (some how)!

Lol no, the rudder is behind the prop, which propels the ship with enormous force. That force would thrust you much further away from the prop and the ship in general, likely tossing you about like a rag doll for a good while. There may be circulating back currents, but I doubt they’d be strong enough to overcome the thrust of the prop. There are few engines on the planet more powerful than these.

It would suck for a brief few moments of despair.

You may try to stay afloat for as long as you can, and yeah, you’ll probably be panicking and get gassed really quick, depending on the turbulence of the water. But from my brief moments a day or a week out in the Hecate Strait, or the Drake Passage, the water can be relentless during the best of weather.

So I’d wager, you’d stay alive for another 10 minutes, if conditions allow. After that, pure bliss as you drift off to the other side and become fish food.

Can’t. People he voted for have jacked up the price.

On top of that, they make good, long lasting phones with ample OS support. I’m 5 years now on this phone, and my partner’s phone is 6 years old. And I use my iphone A LOT.

She wants to replace it with a newer one, but doesn’t want to wait 3 months for it to arrive, so she just said, naaaah, I’ll wait until next year. Hopefully by then they’ll have a USB-C port, but I’m not holding my breath.

Finally, since the phones are still decent, they’re actually worth quite a bit. I got the battery replaced for very little.

Apple does some dumb shit, but they also get a lot of things bang on.

Does he have a quarterly monthly weekly daily hourly payment plan?
