I don't think tanking interest rates back to 0 would be very good for inflation.

shame on an IGA posted:I think the best case scenario might look more like the Ravenel bridge in charleston, it was about 4 years from groundbreaking to opening day. 35W didn't have a shipping channel to work around either. Agreed. A friend who lives in SC sent me a clip from a local news station, featuring the safety features of the Ravenel to defend itself from "high-level impacts" like what just happened in BWI. And constructed in four years. If Biden and Buttigieg aren't looking at that intently, they should be.

orange juche posted:Supposedly they did drop the port anchor as soon as the first loss of power happened, but the thing about anchors is they're not a dead stop, you have to pay out enough anchor chain to the bottom of the anchorage to arrest the ship, when you're talking about a heavy vessel, as the flukes will not stop a ship by itself, but dragging a shitload of heavy chain will help slow it down. The comedy option which may happen is the owners declare 'general average' which means something like all the various people who had connexs on the ship will be liable for the costs. So your connex full of sex-arses just got very expensive indeed !

So some Texas border comedy: their dumbshit SB4 preempting federal law is basically on permanent hold again. District judge originally halted SB4, then the 5th Circuit overturned the ruling for no discernible reason with a stay. Feds went to the supreme court, supreme court lifted the stay (halting SB4 again). The supreme court then ruled, re-instating the stay (SB4 goes into effect again) but also yelled at the 5th circuit to move their rear end. 5th circuit just moved their rear end, 2-1 in favor of the feds, so now the law is on hold again. I also bring this up because the Supreme Court had their abortion pill hearing yesterday on mifepristone. You likely didn't hear much about it because it's pretty clear it'll be a 7-2 decision dumpstering the whole deal on standing issues. Turns out, rando doctors that don't even prescribe the pills can't even prove they're harmed. SC is pissed at the 5th circuit for loving things up with nationwide injunctions without doing the ground work first. So Alito/Thomas in their dissent are likely going to go "Comstock Act is still law of the land therefore all abortions banned btw the state should bring this not randos". And then we'll all be back here again when Texas sues because every sperm is sacred. Woo!

Maybe he should look around at his fellow travelers and figure out why they keep doing these stunts if that's the line he wants to put out publicly. I'd have more respect for him if he'd just say he's mad they're not being quiet enough about working on the same goals he has. That would be refreshing honesty in his evil at least.

Yep, that appears to be the 6's plan - "do this with better standing and here are the organizations that would have standing". Kacsmaryk (district judge) is a true believer though, so he could easily get another lawsuit and do another national injunction. 5th circuit got really, really mad about potentially having all of those civil cases seeking national injunctions randomly assigned instead of sent to single-judge districts.

Baconroll posted:The comedy option which may happen is the owners declare 'general average' which means something like all the various people who had connexs on the ship will be liable for the costs. So your connex full of sex-arses just got very expensive indeed ! Hitting the bridge is particular average so it’s not subject to general average. Removing the bridge from the ship, towing it back to port and unloading it may be general average, although Maersk may swallow the cost out of concern for goodwill (or they may be the only cargo party to the GA depending on how the charter is written, container ships can be weird) The company that owns the ship does not show the usual red flags for shell corps (they own multiple ships, they have an actual address) so it’s unlikely they will dissolve over this. Limitations of liability will kick in, however. I don’t expect the ship to be a write off, so who knows what they’ll do with it. It’ll be seized for a while. The ship’s inspection history doesn’t have any red flags. Yeah she hit a dock in 2016 or whatever, that happens, probably completely unrelated to the current accident. Boat blacked out. Don’t know why yet. Not supposed to happen, but it happens sometimes and in this case it happened at the worst possible moment.

Big Blue doesn't gently caress around with anyone too shady, they don't need to and they aren't dumb. They also have a very good maintenance program and engineering department although I'm not sure how much support a charter would get. They wouldn't be interested if the metrics were bad though, they are very numbers oriented. They will absolutely blow up aux blowers and pay 10-20k to change them out to keep fuel costs down so they make very good, numbers driven decisions.

None of that violates the gag order. He can attack the DA, the judge, and the judge's daughter. They're not covered by the gag order - DA is a public figure, judge is a public figure, and daughter isn't covered in the order. It covers: potential witnesses, attorneys, court staff or the family members of prosecutors or lawyers, or any potential or actual juror.

pmchem posted:i'm just trying to learn here, i'm unfamiliar with actions required (as opposed to recommended) after inspections for big boats, given that nothing is US flagged or manned. or even where you publicly find that inspection info US has around 160 flagged vessels still. Any vessel entering port is subject to port state. This is the USCG in the US. They can come on board and basically look at whatever they want, from maintenance records to crew pay to environmental records to rest hours. If they want to find something, they will find something. That record could just be an inspector in a bad mood seeing a broken gage in a very obvious spot. If you receive an 835 then you usually have to clear it within x time period, showing you've fixed the problem. This doesn't have to be in the US. Port state doesn't necessarily have the expertise to understand what they are seeing or properly interpret IMO regulations either, and there's always a language barrier. They frequently offload that to the vetters like ABS, Lloyd's, or SV depending on what they find as well. Depending on the finding and severity, the inspector might require you to clear it by the next port, allow you to make a full trip and clear it next time you're back in country, or do something like issue a no sail and prevent you from moving the vessel until conditions are fulfilled. This item sounds like a very minor item and there's no real track record of the vessel experiencing major failures or delayed/no sail. It very well could be maintenance failures but we using this one item we can't really make any assumptions.

Crossposting an informative post from the OSHA thread on the bridge and protections thereof.kreeningsons posted:i did some quick loving around calculations at work but for energy absorbed, which based on my loving around research is the main way these bridge dolphins/protections systems are rated. So it looks like it actually might be possible to protect against direct strikes, but basically everything that could have gone wrong at Baltimore did.

One of Donnie's lawyers is no longer a lawyer in 3 days. https://twitter.com/meghanncuniff/status/1773126505503035658?t=b5wFXWGz-N2ljTp2V-HzvQ&s=19 Eastman basically created the J6 strategy of pressuring Pence and fake elector certificates. In three days he can't practice law, then likely gets disbarred when the court panel agrees with the judge.
