Maybe some sort of cheap buoy network outfitted with sensors, GPS, and a longterm sustainable power source
Idk how feasible that would be and can't even estimate how many buoys it would take to cover everything
But you could anchor or even connect some of them directly to the pipeline itself. If it's a network, having every few buoys connected via fiber optic to the pipeline would allow them all communicate and transmit data fast af
Might be possible to collect submarine comms too if the tether acted like an antenna haha
Actually yeah. Didn't even think about that
Def a possibility
I always hear about how cheap and easy it is to buy aerial drones, but really nothing about UUV's.
$30k seems doable for the Houthi, but prob not something they could mass replicate. And they're pretty limited as to which sections of the pipelines are viable targets.
googles too
I found a small one for $5600 with a 330 ft depth rating. It's tethered, but you could prob extend it:
It is wild how exposed the pipelines are, and there's MILES upon MILES of them. I guess people figured their depth would protect them... But tech keeps getting cheaper, more capable, and more accessible ¯_/(ツ)_/¯
Whaaat I didn't know they made those!
*googles
Looks like Russia made one during the Cold War for frogmen firefights (<-wild) At a depth of 15 ft, its effective range was 99 ft!! The deeper you go the worse it gets though, and it totally sucks on land too
*edit 99 ft, not 909 :(
Nahh honestly not looking to be bros with someone constantly asking for handouts (or is into NFT's)
My third world mind literally couldn't comprehend that many zeros
Mozilla in general honestly is pretty awesome ngl
They have this nonprofit called Privacy Not Included that rates companies/products based on how much they respect user privacy.
Modern cars collect literally everything they can about you. Low key kinda scary yo
Oh shit, this happened in DC too
*ceremoniously unwraps Uncrustables and frisbee's it across the room
My boy's getting absolutely SWAMPED with legal action
I think he's at like $470,000 now for his fraud case
*edit LOL my b dudes $470 MILLION
You know if they don't post a vid showing off some shiny new submersible soon, then they probably went about it in the jankiest way possible
100 meters is pretty deep for scuba diving too...
Didn't recognize the director but looks like they've done a couple other creepypasta-inspired films.
One's straight up a documentary about the slender man haha
A24 initial trailers always peak my interest but also leave me pretty damn confused lol
