Stockton of Pressure (StP)

(noun, unit): The specific measurement of catastrophic convergence where the weight of the ocean (Phydro) perfectly equals the weight of a CEO's mounting debt and ego (Pego), resulting in an instantaneous phase-shift from "Visionary" to "Cautionary Tale."

The Math™️:

-> Pressure in water increases by roughly 1 atmosphere (atm) every 10 meters of depth.

-> Titan imploded at ~90%+ of its descent to Titanic, so that's ~350 - 360ish atm give or take a dozen more. This means the hull turned into confetti under about maybe 380 atmospheres atmospheres of external pressure maximum, when it imploded.
----

In other word:

1) Earth (Sea Level) is 1 atm - or 1/350th of the pressure Stockton felt.

2) Surface of Venus is ~92 atm under its hellscape acidic sky, and The Titan was under nearly 4x the pressure of Venus’ surface.

3) The Implosion Point is ~350+ atmospheres - AKA, The weight of the Empire State Building, made of solid lead, resting on one's chest. flash-vaporization so fast in the inverted pressure-cooker, their 🧠 didn't have a chance to fire a single neuron processing a thing.

So? While Venus’ atmosphere is incredibly dense for a gas (about 65 kg/m^3), liquid water is incompressible and far heavier. Stockton Rush managed to find a place on Earth far more crushing than the surface of the "Evil Twin" planet.
Stockton of Pressure (StP) - "Stockton tried to build the first sub made entirely from the sleeve material, but sadly it was too good, and would cost too much... so in the end he had to go for the carbon fiber instead.

The sleeve is intact, but Stockton was under a Stockton of pressure and sadly he could not be revived."

"I’m a materials engineer…this whole thing just has me banging my head against the wall."

- "don't bang your head too hard, you might break the hull"

-- "he'd have to bang his head with a stockton of pressure/force to do that"

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
