colachute posted:I asked a Trump supporter friend of mine who had a baby on the way in 2016 if they would be okay with him growing up and acting like Trump. He said that’s not relevant because he doesn’t think the president should be a role model. Betting if you had a time machine and asked this question when Obama was in office he had very, very strong opinions on the topic that magically changed at some unknown point in recent history.

Chichevache posted:Ok, that's pretty cool. quote:A Coast Guard surfboat was being launched into the surf in an It's from the United States Lifesaving Service, which regulations basically said "we don't care how bad the storm is, get the gently caress out there". quote:In attempting a rescue the keeper will select either the boat, breeches buoy, or life car, as in his judgment is best suited to effectively cope with the existing conditions. If the device first selected fails after such trial as satisfies him that no further attempt with it is feasible, he will resort to one of the others, and if that fails, then to the remaining one, and he will not desist from his efforts until by actual trial the impossibility of effecting a rescue is demonstrated. The statement of the keeper that he did not try to use the boat because the sea or surf was too heavy will not be accepted unless attempts to launch it were actually made and failed [underlining added], or unless the conformation of the coast—as bluffs, precipitous banks, etc.—is such as to unquestionably preclude the use of a boat.

I wish they would do this for barbers and other stupid poo poo. I get having some level of voluntary credentialing body for lower-end skilled jobs, but in a lot of places they're just captured by established private interests that then exclude people who want to get into field that don't have the money for the basic license. But yeah, the correct solution to regulatory capture isn't to throw away regulation, it's to fight regulatory capture.

The plan: Roll in, start up an LLC, claim I'm a plumber, do whatever kind of lovely job I feel like doing on calls for a while, dissolve the LLC and bail. The catch: Gotta be in Texas to do it.

Smiling Jack posted:It's from the United States Lifesaving Service, which regulations basically said "we don't care how bad the storm is, get the gently caress out there". The USLSS was a bunch of badasses. Captain Richard Etheridge (Station Keeper at USLSS station Pea Island, on the outer banks of NC) stole 9 lives from the enraged maw of an Atlantic hurricane in the 1890's, but he and his crew didn't receive their medals until the 1990's. Captain Etheridge himself was born a slave, went into the US Army and murdered confederates, then became Station Keeper at Pea Island until the day the Wright brothers were taking their first flight. He was the first African-American station Keeper in all of the USLSS, and his grave is at the NC Aquarium at Roanoke Island. the award citation for Etheridge and his men posted:The three-masted schooner E.S. Newman, sailing from Providence, RI to Norfolk, VA ran into a hurricane. Pushed before the storm, the ship lost all sails and drifted almost 100 miles before it ran aground about two miles south of the Pea Island Life-Saving Station (NC) on 11 October 1896. The station keeper, Richard Etheridge, had discontinued the routine patrols due to the high water that had inundated the island. Surfman Theodore Meekins, however, saw what he thought was a distress signal and lit a Coston flare. He then called to Etheridge to look for a return signal. Both strained to look through the storm. Moments later, they saw a faint signal of a vessel in distress. Etheridge, a veteran of nearly twenty years, readied the crew. They hitched mules to the beach cart and hurried toward the vessel. Arriving on the scene, they found Captain S.A. Gardiner and eight others clinging to the wreckage. Unable to fire a line because the high water prevented the Lyle Gun’s deployment, Etheridge directed two surfmen to bind themselves together with a line. Grasping another line, the pair moved into the breakers while the remaining surfmen secured the shore end. The two surfmen reached the wreck and, using a heaving stick, got a line on board. Once a line was tied around one of the crewmen, all three were then pulled back through the surf by the crew on the beach. The remaining eight persons were carried to shore in similar fashion. After each trip two different surfmen replaced those who had just returned. For their efforts the crew of the Pea Island Life-Saving Station, Richard Etheridge, Benjamin Bowser, Dorman Pugh, Theodore Meekins, Lewis Wescott, Stanley Wise, and William Irving were awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal on 5 March 1996. So yea..."we don't care how bad the storm is, get the gently caress out there[i/]" https://www.history.uscg.mil/Portals/1/personnel/pdf/Richard_Etheridge.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea_Island_Life-Saving_Station#Later_years This is the second-most insane rescue in Coast Guard history; there's a new cutter named after Captain Etheridge, 2nd of its class. That ship class is the Sentinel, and the 1st of the class was named after Bernard C. Webber. In 1952, he took a 36ft boat out in 60ft seas to rescue people from a tanker (S.S. Pendleton) that had broken in half during a winter storm off of MA. That he went out at all is utterly insane, that he came back with [i]any survivors is beyond incredible.

Disney actually released a movie about the rescue of the Pendleton a couple of years ago called The Finest Hours, it was actually a pretty good movie and I was kind of surprised that I didn't see them advertise it at all.
