The Ocean Sciences Building at the University of Washington in Seattle is a brightly modern, four-story structure, with large glass windows reflecting the bay across the street.
On the afternoon of July 7, 2016, it was being slowly locked down.
Red lights began flashing at the entrances as students and faculty filed out under overcast skies. Eventually, just a handful of people remained inside, preparing to unleash one of the most destructive forces in the natural world: the crushing weight of about 2½ miles of ocean water.
In the building’s high-pressure testing facility, a black, pill-shaped capsule hung from a hoist on the ceiling. About 3 feet long, it was a scale model of a submersible called Cyclops 2, developed by a local startup called OceanGate. The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had cofounded the company in 2009 as a sort of submarine charter service, anticipating a growing need for commercial and research trips to the ocean floor. At first, Rush acquired older, steel-hulled subs for expeditions, but in 2013 OceanGate had begun designing what the company called “a revolutionary new manned submersible.” Among the sub’s innovations were its lightweight hull, which was built from carbon fiber and could accommodate more passengers than the spherical cabins traditionally used in deep-sea diving. By 2016, Rush’s dream was to take paying customers down to the most famous shipwreck of them all: the Titanic, 3,800 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
Engineers carefully lowered the Cyclops 2 model into the testing tank nose-first, like a bomb being loaded into a silo, and then screwed on the tank’s 3,600-pound lid. Then they began pumping in water, increasing the pressure to mimic a submersible’s dive. If you’re hanging out at sea level, the weight of the atmosphere above you exerts 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). The deeper you go, the stronger that pressure; at the Titanic’s depth, the pressure is about 6,500 psi. Soon, the pressure gauge on UW’s test tank read 1,000 psi, and it kept ticking up—2,000 psi, 5,000 psi. At about the 73-minute mark, as the pressure in the tank reached 6,500 psi, there was a sudden roar and the tank shuddered violently.
“I felt it in my body,” an OceanGate employee wrote in an email later that night. “The building rocked, and my ears rang for a long time.”
“Scared the shit out of everyone,” he added.
The model had imploded thousands of meters short of the safety margin OceanGate had designed for.
In the high-stakes, high-cost world of crewed submersibles, most engineering teams would have gone back to the drawing board, or at least ordered more models to test. Rush’s company didn’t do either of those things. Instead, within months, OceanGate began building a full-scale Cyclops 2 based on the imploded model. This submersible design, later renamed Titan, eventually made it down to the Titanic in 2021. It even returned to the site for expeditions the next two years. But nearly one year ago, on June 18, 2023, Titan dove to the infamous wreck and imploded, instantly killing all five people onboard, including Rush himself.
The disaster captivated and horrified the world. Deep-sea experts criticized OceanGate’s choices, from Titan’s carbon-fiber construction to Rush’s public disdain for industry regulations, which he believed stifled innovation. Organizations that had worked with OceanGate, including the University of Washington as well as the Boeing Company, released statements denying that they contributed to Titan.
A trove of tens of thousands of internal OceanGate emails, documents, and photographs provided exclusively to WIRED by anonymous sources sheds new light on Titan’s development, from its initial design and manufacture through its first deep-sea operations. The documents, validated by interviews with two third-party suppliers and several former OceanGate employees with intimate knowledge of Titan, reveal never-before-reported details about the design and testing of the submersible. They show that Boeing and the University of Washington were both involved in the early stages of OceanGate’s carbon-fiber sub project, although their work did not make it into the final Titan design. The trove also reveals a company culture in which employees who questioned their bosses’ high-speed approach and decisions were dismissed as overly cautious or even fired. (The former employees who spoke to WIRED have asked not to be named for fear of being sued by the families of those who died aboard the vessel.) Most of all, the documents show how Rush, blinkered by his own ambition to be the Elon Musk of the deep seas, repeatedly overstated OceanGate’s progress and, on at least one occasion, outright lied about significant problems with Titan’s hull, which has not been previously reported.
A representative for OceanGate, which ceased all operations last summer, declined to comment on WIRED’s findings.

So what are the caps on your drinks from Spinda's cafe made of? Magi Glass?
Tumblr media
Guildmaster: It's crazy, because somehow pokemon know what glass is here! The first time I saw a cup I asked my Wigglytuff mama if it was made with magic or something from a dungeon, and she explained that it's sand that gets heat up until it melts, and then talented pokemon can make them into different shapes! Some things also use metal lids, and they'll even imprint logos and other crazy things on them! I have nooo idea how they came up with that kinda thing. They probably dug up a bunch of old human artifacts and studied them!!
Tumblr media
Keaton: Well. You've heard the phrase "history repeats itself", haven't you sir?
Tumblr media
Guildmaster: Yeah!! ... What's that got to do with it?
// one thing that I always think is interesting about how pmd is interpreted is the level of technology folks seem to think the pokemon have accessible to them. somehow it's easy to imagine that they have an organized postal system (implying the existence of addresses, which implies the existence of property borders and surveying, and also implies a printing press or at least reliable access to writing materials- and not just for scholarly purposes, but to write newsletters and junk mail on a wide scale), an economy (implies the development from a trade and barter system, as well as the ability to smelt and manufacture a currency), and complex architecture involving steel I beams (something I'm pulling from gurdurr's shop in gates which i'm sure is just meant to be visual shorthand, but it's something developed in the mid-1800s which is around when light bulbs came into the scene)... but they somehow don't know what glass-blowing or threaded fasteners are despite being a technique developed almost 2,000 years before a lot of those other things lmao. not to mention even older methods of craft like clay which date all the way back to over 20,000 years ago. I think a lot of it has to do with how pmd itself isn't quite consistent with what technology exists, trying to go for a medieval but whimsical feel with a few comforts from modern day thrown in. but playing around with those expectations with characters like the guildmaster and julius is fun B) I'm of the thought that if a society has developed language, culture, and economy, it's not really far-fetched to think they'd have basic comforts

I have purchased.. a PAN!!! I did a whole lotta research, spoke to my sister a lot, did more research, price compared, and finally decided on a pan: the All-Clad 10" fry pan with lid. Ideally, I wanted a glass top lid, but I could not find everything I wanted at a price I was interested in paying. Anyway, pan!
Tumblr media
Why did I go for this pan? All-Clad makes some of the best stainless steel pans on the market. If I wanted the best, I'd actually not be getting stainless steel, but the Hestan Nanobond. However, their fry pan is nearly $500 (CAD) and doesn't come with a lid. Given the amount of cooking I do, even if i were to never replace that pan in my life, I just don't feel I need a pan that expensive right now. All-Clad's pans are also on the pricier side compared to some other pans, but at $150 (CAD) for this particular pan, I'm not fussed about the price. I know I'll be keeping it for a long while.
Now, why not go with non-stick pans? Well, to be honest, I did want one. I really love the look of the GreenPan pans, they did a collab with Stanley Tucci, which I don't care about celebrity anything, but this line has such a beautiful teal I was so, so tempted to get it. However, the more research I did, the less I wanted to spend the money. (The teal covered fry pan is $260 (CAD) and only comes in one size, and it's a bit too big for my burners) While GreenPan does have a good mission about sustainability from what I read from them, the fact of the matter is regardless of this, non-stick pans have a much shorter lifespan than pans without a non-stick coating. From what I read, the longevity can be from a few months to up to five years, and i definitely was using my old non-stick far longer than that and is alarming to think about, but also, that isn't that long. And that's for traditional non-sticks. Apparently ceramic non-stick, what GreenPan's pans are, last for an even shorter amount of time. The coating erodes, get scratched, is sensitive to too much heat, and while you can recycle pans, apparently because the coating is difficult to remove to recycle many non-stick pans still end up in the landfill. Additionally, with ceramic non-stick specifically, it's only been around since 2007 and while GreenPan and other manufacturers aren't using PFAs or PFOAs (one of them is outlawed in the US now, but I forget which, whatever Teflon is), the chemicals they do use to make the non-stick coating has not been tested extensively to be assured about the safety of the coating, and there are concerns over some of the chemicals in particular. I told a friend earlier I feel like I know so much about pans now, I would like to know less about them. But, I am happy with my choice. I think All-Clad makes good stainless steel pans, and based on the research I did, they make safe pans for my health. Anyway, now I have to wait for it to arrive. I could only find this one pan at Williams Sonoma, and they tell me it'll arrive in July. Oh well, it's the one I want after many hours of research that my eyes were incredibly annoyed with me this week. Maybe once it arrives I'll talk about how it feels to cook with!

I hate the fact that water bottle manufactures are seemingly incapable of understanding that making something out of glass does not magically render the laws of physics no longer applicable
I have a plastic water bottle which I have had for years
It's started leaking, and I decided to see if I could get one like it but made of glass, which would be both more eco friendly and less likely to flavour the water
Unfortunately, I have found approximately zero glass water bottles with all of a) a locking, flip lid, b) an absent or removable straw, and c) an air hole to allow the water to be consumed without being sabotaged by vacuum
Apparently being glass, they don't seem to need this! I am furious
Why have manufacturers decided it's fine to produce a gazillion near-identical glass bottles with tiny smooth lids, in my opinion the least practical of all water bottle designs, but not one of them has gone 'you know our widely sold plastic water bottles with the flip lids? Let's make some out of glass and sell them as the eco friendly option!'
It's madness, and I am furious

So ... years ago I worked in a big department store that decided it needed to have a big clear out of stock that had been discontinued by the manufacturer and all things sitting in the store room that had broken parts. I got 8 glasses for 50 cents because one in the pack had been broken. I got a soup tureen for a dollar. It's only problem? The lid had been broken. It might turn out that the best thing I got that day was this.
Tumblr media
A Corning 4l casserole in the Spice of Life pattern that I got for a few bucks because the pattern had been discontinued. It was the last one left in stock. It's big, it still has its original lid and I've only used it a few times over the years. While looking up something else yesterday I learned this tempting bit of info about my casserole dish.
Tumblr media
👀👀👀👀👀
Turns out it could be worth a lot of money! Now....do I try to sell it or do I keep it because I'm finally living close enough to family again that I might actually need a casserole that size again. It's insane!!!! All because the 70's look is in style again.

The Versatility and Appeal of Glass Electric Kettles
In the modern kitchen, appliances are not just functional tools; they are often a reflection of style and convenience. One such appliance that has gained significant popularity in recent years is the glass electric kettle. These sleek and transparent devices have become a staple in many households, offering a combination of functionality, aesthetics, and safety.
The appeal of a glass electric kettle begins with its visual charm. The clear glass body allows you to witness the entire boiling process, which can be quite mesmerizing. You can watch as the water starts to bubble and steam, adding a touch of drama to a mundane task. This transparency also enables you to monitor the water level easily, ensuring you never overfill or underfill the kettle.
Tumblr media
One of the key advantages of glass electric kettles is their material. Glass is a non-reactive substance, meaning it does not interact with the water or impart any strange flavors or odors. This ensures that the water you boil tastes pure and clean, making it ideal for brewing high-quality tea, coffee, or other beverages where the taste of water is crucial.
In terms of safety, glass electric kettles often come with advanced features. Many models have automatic shut-off mechanisms that kick in as soon as the water reaches boiling point or when the kettle is lifted from its base. This prevents overheating and potential hazards, giving you peace of mind while using the appliance.
Another aspect that sets glass electric kettles apart is their ease of cleaning. The smooth surface of the glass makes it effortless to wipe away any dirt or stains. Unlike some other materials that may retain residue or be prone to scratches, glass maintains its clarity and cleanliness with minimal effort.
The capacity of glass electric kettles varies, catering to different needs. Whether you live alone and need a smaller 0.8-liter kettle or have a large family and require a 1.7-liter one, there is an option available for you. Some kettles even have variable temperature settings, allowing you to heat water to specific temperatures for different types of beverages. For example, green tea is best brewed at a lower temperature than black tea, and a kettle with temperature control gives you the flexibility to achieve the perfect brew every time.
When it comes to design, glass electric kettles are available in a wide range of styles. Some have simple and minimalist designs that blend seamlessly with any kitchen decor, while others feature more elaborate patterns or colors to make a bold statement. The handles and lids are often ergonomically designed for comfortable handling, and the bases are usually stable to prevent tipping over.
Tumblr media
In addition to their use in the home, glass electric kettles are also becoming popular in offices and other workspaces. They provide a quick and convenient way to make hot beverages throughout the day, boosting productivity and offering a much-needed break.
The market for glass electric kettles is constantly evolving, with manufacturers constantly innovating to meet the changing demands of consumers. Some kettles now come with smart features such as Wi-Fi connectivity and programmable settings that can be controlled via a mobile app.
In conclusion, the glass electric kettle is more than just a way to boil water; it is a combination of form and function that enhances our daily lives. Its transparency, safety features, ease of cleaning, and design options make it a valuable addition to any kitchen or workspace. Whether you are a tea enthusiast, a coffee lover, or simply someone who values convenience and style, a glass electric kettle is undoubtedly worth considering. As technology continues to advance and our lifestyles evolve, it will be interesting to see how these kettles continue to adapt and improve, remaining an essential part of our modern living.

Kitchen storage is a challenge for all. With a little careful planning, an unkempt kitchen may become a sophisticated one. When you use these unsung heroes—dish trays and Wardrobe Organizers, for example—you'll be able to do more in the kitchen. In addition, here is an extensive selection of containers to meet your needs for organizing and storing food.
Tools for organizing the interior of storage areas
Adjacent to one another. Organize all of your kitchenware in drawers next to the stove, starting with the items you use most frequently at the top. Restocking the shelves is sped up significantly if the frequently used dishes and glasses are kept close to the sink and dishwasher.
Before you fill every drawer and cabinet with cookware, think about the most effective places to store items. To make it easy to get the size you need, have the lids stacked horizontally and the pans stacked vertically.
By optimizing their existing space, your outdated kitchen cabinets can be made more usable with a few simple alterations. Use wire baskets and plastic storage containers when you have limited room in your cabinets. You may maintain your items' neat and organized appearance by organizing them in this way.
Accounting for the dimensions of your kitchen When organizing your kitchen's storage, pay close attention to its measurements. It takes imagination to find storage solutions for little kitchens, but creative solutions can also work well in larger kitchens. Make sure your kitchen is working hard to meet your storage needs by making the most of every corner and cranny.

The Best Cocktail Smokers to Upgrade Your Next Drink
Addition of smoke to cocktails has become a trend at craft bars for some time now, not as just a gimmick but as an effective method for adding some serious flavor to drinks. While novices might find the technique intimidating at first, once equipped with the appropriate tools it's actually quite straightforward. Cold smoke from a source other than grill or Bourbon Smokers should be used - hot smoke could actually cook the drink! Most bartenders use gun-style infusers and dome-type devices made of glass (known as cloche) for adding smoke prior to serving drinks; other methods exist such as infusing ingredients directly.
Tumblr media
Over two dozen cocktail smokers were tested, considering both experienced cocktail makers and beginners when reviewing them for ease of use, overall performance, cleaning capabilities, value and overall price to determine which were the most ideal ones.
Breville The Smoking Gun Pro
Breville's Smoking Gun Pro is an exceptionally versatile piece of equipment designed for chefs of any skill level - but also perfect for playful experimentation! Running on four AA batteries, its massive burn chamber makes loading easy and can accommodate enough material to smoke multiple cocktails at the same time. We found its flexible silicone hose easy for targeting smoke where needed while variable speeds enable home bartenders to add light or increase the intensity level as desired. Both its stainless steel barrel and burn chamber can easily pop out for easy cleanup - perfect!
After testing it both at our official test kitchen and our own home, we were impressed with the Smoking Gun Pro. It proved easy to use, drew quick smoke in, produced rich, robust smoke that lingered, was cost-effective, and easy to clean despite its higher price. We appreciate its overall value despite being costly.
Mitbak's Smoking Gun with Dome Lid and Wood Chips
Mitbak offers an affordable cold Home whiskey smoking complete with everything needed to begin smoking cocktails with Whiskey smoking experts immediately. Included are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that fire the smoking gun; domed cloche, wood chips, detachable hose, charging cable, tweezer to help clear debris out of detachable burn chamber for easier cleanup; three speed infuser fan for efficient output regulation - perfect!
Tumblr media
We like how this relatively basic unit came equipped with three variable settings and found the "high" setting to produce quite a lot of smoke. Furthermore, it's small enough design to fit conveniently in our dishwasher.
Note for home bartenders: while this kit includes a cloche, it cannot accommodate tall glasses. Therefore, if you frequently make cocktails using stemmed glassware, consider investing in a Whiskey smoking kit with more height. Likewise, as this unit does not come equipped with its own base plate (either cutting board or plate), an appropriate piece will need to be found as the dome sits atop of it all.
Oklahoma Joe's Cocktail Smoking Box
Constructed of American white oak used in the production of bourbon barrels, Oklahoma Joe's elegant little box from grill manufacturer Oklahoma Joe's makes an ideal outdoor bartending tool. You will need your own wood chips (lighter/torch not included), but everything else - sturdy wooden box with sliding tray at bottom for chips storage - is included with your purchase. While its compact size may limit how much can fit inside at once, just take this as another chance to relax and appreciate Mother Nature.
Design of this unit is sleek and unassuming; cleaning it was quick and effortless. Even though only capable of smoking one drink at a time, we found its smokiness level perfect: just enough smoky aroma without overbearing ash flavors; we raise our glasses to that!

INJECTION MOULDING - MAINI PLASTICS & COMPOSITES
Injection Moulding:
Injection moulding is a widely used manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould. It is commonly used with polymers but can also be used with metals, glass, and other materials. Here's a comprehensive overview:
Process Overview
Clamping:
The mould consists of two halves, which are closed together by the clamping unit.
The clamping unit holds the mould securely in place during the injection and cooling phases.
Injection:
The material (typically thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer) is fed into a heated barrel.
The material is heated to a molten state and then pushed through a nozzle into the mould cavity by a screw or a plunger.
The material fills the mould cavity, taking the shape of the part.
Cooling:
Once the mould is filled, the material begins to cool and solidify.
Cooling time depends on the material and part dimensions.
Cooling can be controlled through channels in the mould to ensure uniform solidification.
Ejection:
After the material has solidified, the mould is opened, and the part is ejected by ejector pins.
The part may undergo further processing, such as trimming of excess material (sprue, runners, and flash).
Materials Used
Thermoplastics: Commonly used for their ease of processing and recyclability. Examples include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Thermosetting Plastics: Used for applications requiring high heat resistance and structural integrity. Examples include epoxy, phenolic, and melamine resins.
Elastomers: Used for flexible and resilient parts. Examples include silicone and rubber.
Advantages
High Efficiency: Capable of producing large volumes of parts quickly and consistently.
Precision: Can produce complex shapes with high dimensional accuracy.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.
Minimal Waste: Excess material can often be recycled.
Disadvantages
High Initial Costs: Mould design and manufacturing can be expensive.
Material Limitations: Some materials may not be suitable for injection moulding.
Design Constraints: Complex parts may require complex moulds, increasing costs.
Applications
Automotive: Parts such as dashboards, bumpers, and interior components.
Consumer Goods: Products like toys, household items, and electronics casings.
Medical: Devices and components such as syringes, housings for medical instruments, and implants.
Packaging: Containers, caps, and lids.
Considerations for Injection Moulding
Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Parts should be designed to minimize manufacturing difficulties and costs. This includes considerations for wall thickness, draft angles, and rib design.
Material Selection: Choosing the right material for the desired properties and performance of the final part.
Mould Design: Ensuring the mould is designed for optimal material flow, cooling, and part ejection.
