Random Thought Thread

Anyone else watching the current season on Forged in Fire on The History Channel?

I think they made a bad decision last night on Season 10 Episode 12 -- Beat the Unbeaten: A Cutlass Above

The cutlass of the prior unbeaten "champion" -- Collin Sage -- who actually won only twice before -- broke in the 1st test for sharpness & strength. The other prior champion (forget his name) built a cutlass that was too long by 1/8" & didn't have clip point (as was required) & was disqualified & his cutlass wasn't tested & they declared Sage the winner

The loser was pissed (w/o cause IMO because he didn't build a blade w/in specs) & Sage didn't think he deserved to be declared the winner but he was nonetheless.

Since Sage's blade broke & the other guy was disqualified, IMO the judges should have just declared a 'no contest" and allowed for a rematch.

If you watched this episode of the show, what do you think?🤔

How long ago was that? Aren’t newer iPhones waterproof against shallow immersion?

Depends how deep your toilet is and how long you sit on the potty, I guess. I think the last phone we had to replace in my house due to water damage was a 7 if I remember right.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro (Max)IP68Up to 30 minutes and 4m deep
Apple iPhone 11, XsIP68Up to 30 minutes and 2 meters deep
Apple iPhone SE (2022/2020), Xr, X, 8, 7IP67Up to 30 minutes and 1 meter deep
Apple iPhone 6 and olderNot waterproofNot waterproof

Like a month or so ago I kept getting a Water Detected message when I tried to charge my iphone. Nothing got wet, and when I switched cables it went away, and hasn't happened since, regardless of cable. Very bizarre.

Happens when there’s moisture in the charging port (even on phones that are immersion resistant. Basically a short circuit detected in the charging circuitry).

Last time I had it happen was after sanitizing the phone with an alcohol wipe.

But that's the thing, neither the phone nor the chargers/cables were exposed to any moisture, so didn't make any sense. Was just so random. I blame the solar flares 🤣

That's basically how catfish are farmed in some places. Large chicken coops are built over ponds so that the chicken shit and uneaten food drop into the pond for the catfish to eat. Then it's all shipped to a Long John Silver's* diner near you!

*on second thought, I'm pretty sure LJS uses pollock.
