Comment on [XKCD] Pascal's Law
Kayel@aussie.zone 2 days agoStill confused. They’re sinking shafts at an angle into rock, filling with water, the pressure towards the bottom breaks the rock.
And then? How is the water drained, the shaft re- stabilised, etc

The water isn’t drained. You sink the shaft past what you need to extract. Restabilization is why slave lives were so cheap. This was gulag work. Shafts would collapse all the time. It’s not a modern mining operation.
