Solice Kirsk posted:I may be wrong, but isn't there a "might = right" rule for ships/boats? Like bigger vessel always has right of way. Technically power gives way to sail but size is the bigger concern. You can't ask a 1,000ft laker to give way to a pleasure sailing craft. That boat was effectively adrift. It appeared un-commanded.

AlmightyBob posted:this is from a storm 6 years ago in seattle, this stuff was all over the news here for a few days Oh man, I remember this storm. Wasn't this the one where they put a bunch of sand down on the roads to help cars keep traction? spoiler alert: putting sand down on snowy roads does NOT help cars keep traction, nor does it melt the snow like salt does. Instead, what it does is sit around until the snow melts, and then clogs up all the street drainage systems, so you go from roads that are snowed over to roads that are flooded because none of the snowmelt can drain.

You'd think they'd know better than to use sand in the Northeast, but lol connecticut. Cross the state line and you're all "Yay, now my car won't rust—AaaahAAHAHHHHHH"

What it does is get frozen in the ice thus providing something for tires to grip to. That said throwing down 30 tons of sand on 3 feet of snow doesn't do anyone any good. Still somehow cheaper than plowing I guess.

Seattle doesn't do salt since it rarely gets snowy/icy here and they worry salt will gently caress up the sound/lakes and upset the salmon. Which is fine with me, stay inside when the roads suck and eat tons of delicious salmon.

Eh, I was gonna say it was stupid to just not have a salt store and break it out when needed, but that is a decent enough reason to not use it. Here in Chicago we just plow everything into the lake and let Michigan/Wisconsin deal with it. The hell they gonna do about it?!

You can talk about right of way all you want, but when a nuclear submarine does an emergency blow underneath you, you're going to the bottom. If you don't know what an emergency blow looks like, picture this happening underneath your boat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOqalX5FJ2c&t=7s

Chariot posted:Somewhere above destroyers, I'd say. Australia cut 2 destroyers in half with the same carrier on different occasions: quote:The unanimous decision of the board was that although Evans was partially at fault for the collision, Melbourne had contributed by not taking evasive action sooner, even though doing this would have been a direct contravention of international sea regulations, which stated that in the lead-up to a collision, the larger ship was required to maintain course and speed.[30] The report was inconsistent in several areas with the evidence given at the inquiry, including the falsity that Melbourne's navigational lights took significant time to come to full brilliance.[31] Several facts were also edited out of the transcripts of the inquiry.[32]

SubponticatePoster posted:I don't understand Colorado at all. They advertise their great skiing, which generally indicates they get snow. Yet they're about as loving bad as Florida about removing it. I've been in the Vail pass twice now when there was a bad snowstorm and semi trucks that ignored the warning to chain up were sliding backwards down the hill with a shitload of cars stuck in the ditch/shoulder. If you lose momentum at all you're hosed. I made it through once in a tiny subcompact rental car and the second time in my Chevy Cobalt coupe because I know how to drive in snow, being from Utah. Why in the hell don't they get the snowplows out and ready to go before it starts snowing instead of letting everything turn into a giant clusterfuck and then they can't run them because the roads are all full of stuck cars? It's a combination of a few of things. Some years ago, there was a blizzard bad enough to shut down the state. And I mean actually shut it the gently caress down, for 3 days. 2' within a couple hours, and the total snowfall was 3' or so. My 85 F-250HD could crush through it and leave the undercarriage's profile behind, but people with lighter Jeeps and SUV's and such got stuck in their driveays. It was a real fun time for me as I largely had the roads to myself and was getting paid while staying home, and the only real thing I had to do was knock the snow off the trees. Anyway, the plow trucks got out late and couldn't keep up. They started hauling the snow to some airport or parking lot or something and melted it with some goofy jet engine furnace thing. Governor Hickenlooper got a lot of poo poo for it somehow, despite not actually being the guy that tells the trucks to get started. He responded by having the guy that was in charge sending them out to salt the roads on the merest hint of forcasted snow. That got expensive pretty fast, so they stopped until a lesser blizzard happened again, and so the plow policy oscillated wildly, the end result being fairly unpredictable. Combine that whole mess with the fast that we've had steady immigration from non-snowy places, vehicles becoming increasingly "magic" until they suddenly aren't, the wildly disparate attitudes of snow drivers (The stereotypes are that Californians with a AWD crossover will do 15mph in the left lane of the highway if it's just started snowing and the road is still black while Texans will try to do 80mph in a 4wd truck with summer tires on black ice) and the complacency of 'experienced Coloradoans', and you get a huge clusterfuck of bullshit that made winter stop being fun.
