Okay. True story. My best friend and I tried to build replicas of the Disney Nautilus submarine with the legos we had on hand. We were in middle school and had moved past the houses and rudimentary stuff kids could do with Lego. It was summer, we were always in the pool, and we wanted to play “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” We had the exact problem that you mentioned. The boats would float, but like a dead fish. On their sides. We needed weights.
Long story short, we ended up using melted lead from fishing weights to fill the longest Lego blocks we had. Held tightly in a vise and supported by other blocks to keep the top buttons stable, we poured molten lead into the bricks and quenched them quickly with water. We were successful in righting our subs with lead keels. We could add more bricks along the keel to make the subs sink to the bottom of the pool.
Nice! We find that our hobbies and the YouTube channels featuring fiber arts or antique gear isolates – or insulates us from the anxiety and fear on regular tv. We don’t need it. It isn’t healthy.
They like strong men. They want to be seen as strong, too. Not empathetic, not compassionate.
