I'd say that fission is the cleanest energy apurce we have access to. Not clean, but better yhan all the others.

Yeah, nuclear is incredibly clean compared to pretty much every other ‘dig poo poo out of the ground and throw it in something that extracts energy from it’ substance.

shame on an IGA posted:building a literal sysiphus-bot seems like a low tech solution honestly. Only so many places you can build that and also honestly it's not environmentally the greatest, there are consequences to putting a lake where a lake previously wouldn't be.

KoRMaK posted:this is incredibley hosed up The couple of indoor axe throwing places I went to did that. The last ~2 meters of each lane was a pit filled with woodchips, and the targets were angled forward a couple of degrees so even the worst bounceouts would go straight into the floor. I'd still rather do it outdoors, but it seemed like a pretty safe setup. OTOH, both of those places also served cocktails.

Well concrete is two and a half times denser than water, so there’s the potential for it to win, but the packing efficiency of a liquid is one hundred percent, so that puts a damper on the potential gain. If you’re really pressed for space because, say, you’re Singapore, I expect you’d run right past concrete and bit the bullet on batteries.

Reminds me of the USS Texas after D‐Day. One of her less‐essential compartments was intentionally flooded because the resulting list allowed her guns to elevate further and lobs shells on Nazi positions further inland.

I think the most of impressive bodging feat of WWII was what happened to USS New Orleans, which got the front 1/4 of the ship blown off by a Japanese torpedo in the battle of Tassafaronga. Not only did the ship not sink, the crew managed to get the ship to harbour, rig up a temporary bow of coconut logs, sail backwards all the way to Australia at 2 knots, get a sturdier fake bow fitted and then sail backwards again all the way across the Pacific to Puget Sound. The most OSHA thread event was probably Japanese aircraft carrier Taiho, which took a hit that cracked her aviation gas tanks and started filling the ship with gasoline vapour. This was obviously a problem so the damage control teams open up all the vents to get fresh air...which turned the atmosphere of the ship into the perfect ratio for a fuel air bomb, leading to the ship to explode and sink 6 1/2 hours later.

You teach them VERY WELL to do their ONE SPECIFIC job, and actively discourage them from showing initiative. Here's an almost hour long video on Japanese vs. American methods of damage control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC6LN3U5ELk

Wikipedia posted:Though Admiral Ozawa wanted to go down with the ship, his staff prevailed on him to survive and to transfer his flag to the cruiser Haguro. Taking the Emperor's portrait, Ozawa transferred to Haguro by destroyer. After he left, Taihō was torn by a second thunderous explosion and sank stern first at 16:28, taking 1,650 officers and men out of a complement of 2,150 down with her. So for six and a half hours people were just waiting for the petrol smell to fade away? I'd be swimming off to surrender after the first hour.
