@frcabot@RainerWinkler@WilliamAvery@USCGNortheast@DavidRoweWTL It will absolutely create a shock wave going outwards.
The water will rush in, crushing the air in milliseconds.
Since water is incompressible, once it's done crushing the air, it will hit the water going the other direction and will bounce.
The bounce is the shock wave.
@WilliamAvery@USCGNortheast@DavidRoweWTL It might have been detectable, but nobody was listening for it when it happened.
Speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s. They had just over 2 seconds from when they lost comms to when the shock wave would have reached them. They probably didn't know the sub was lost at the time.
@BM3StubbyAD44@HeyItsMeSalty@redsteeze@JoeBiden Yep. Because China totally doesn't have satellites in orbit that are far more capable than any balloon possibly ever could be.
Oh wait, they have hundreds?
Oh. Well damn, China playing the long game with their 1920s tech AND 2020s tech at the same time.
@12AngelTrumpet@HeyItsMeSalty@redsteeze I know! Those dastardly Chinese spending billions of dollars on satellites that are far better equipped to do surveillance than any balloon ever possibly could, but sending a balloon anyways! How dare they! /s
@EmExAstris (Sorry, re-reading that, I feel it comes across snarkier than I meant it. I really am very happy to see Grijalva win. I'm also bitter about Gosar. And those are two separate things.)
Probably the biggest difference between Tony Stark and Phony Stark is that, at the end of the movies, Tony realized that tech can't solve people problems.
@JennieTetreault They probably shouldn't have been messing with the schools so much... Especially passing laws that overruled funding that people voted for. (Among many other examples.)
One of my communities seems to be very happy moving to Mastodon. (https://t.co/vbNwtDCrcV, to be exact.)
I'm wondering where the other communities will go.

It'll set you up with a TOTP app first and give you a few recovery codes. After that, if you have one, you can also set up a U2F/Yubikey key.
