He kept that one box in readable condition without a waterproof box but nothing else? Hmm, I think there may be a slight flaw in your reasoning. Either he’s found a way of keeping stuff safe, or he hasn’t.

You also need to go and rewatch the scenes where he’s collecting the boxes and, later on, when he starts to open them.

Reply to Water pipe robots could stop billions of litres leaking by Sariel007

We’ve had a water leak near us, on the main road, for over 3 years. They’ve made 2 previous attempts to fix it, which failed. When we had the cold snap just before Xmas it created a skating rink across the road so they actually came and tried again to fix it, which looks to have worked so far.

I can’t help but think that taking less than 3 years to fix a considerable leak would save a shit load of water and doesn’t require any fancy new technology to be invented.

You’ve tried to argue it’s not a serious R&D attempt, and you’ve argued that Airbus are doing it wrong, all in order to avoid saying “Wow, I didn’t know that, I was wrong”. That’s not a discussion.

I don’t know you, but I’d be certain that Airbus have considered this far more deeply, and with far more expertise than you have. If you want argue it, you need to argue with them. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your valuable input.

>what on earth makes you think that they’d re-adopt a volatile gas that combusts with 1/10th the energy of gasoline?

Probably the fact that aircraft manufacturers are actively adopting it?

Reply to Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

As an adult, diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 44, apparently illegal drugs and alcohol are not considered appropriate strategies.
