My cooler full of titty milk blew up after I checked it, but Delta is pretty family friendly and got me a new one with soft, non-explosive sides.

Can I ask: how do coolers blow up?

If I had to guess: you have the inside pressurized to one bar, the outside pressurized to 0.75 bars, the lid latched and airtight, and walls not designed to withstand a pressure differential.

But why?

Because the cooler was closed and made airtight at sea level, and the airlinerās cabin pressure at cruising altitude is about 3.5 psi lower than that?
I mean, 3.5 psi isnāt much (thatās about 5% of what a soda container holds at room temperature), but if the seal on your container isnāt meant to withstand any pressure differentialā¦

Anyway, thatās a hell of a visualā¦

I read āDeltaā as a store where you can buy coolers.

Honestly, I have no idea, so Iām going with this. It didnāt even make it on to the plane, @kxkvi! They showed me a picture at the gate of my wrecked cooler. I must have looked like I would cry, because the gate agent promptly told me it had been replaced with a soft-sided cooler.

Ah, maybe a stomped-on incident, but I like physics better too.

Or they pre-emptively detonated it. Given the TSAās previous assertions about the dangers of breast milk.

The gate agent told me the handlers called her in a panic not knowing what the contents were.

Had a long-ass sweaty day in San Diego (theyāre always long, it takes 2+ hours to get downtown from central TJ), and the electricity had gone out before I got home. Luckily, the fridge was empty.
After fiddling with the electrical cables, I had some take-out and went to bed with the intention of showering when I woke up.
Surprise, surprise. The water is shut off because theyāre replacing sewer lines down the street. Nothing so pleasant as stewing in oneās own juices.

Thanks! I actually had to nebulize him this morning - my husband had done yesterdayās. It was really awful. I didnāt know how awful it would be. But heās in good spirits and seems to be on the mend. Feeding well.
Planning to have the talk this AM with my students about what specific help I can offer if they need to stay home for health reasons. I donāt want anyone else to have to put their baby or spouse or self on one of these machines.
