What rolls down stairs? Alone or in pairs, and over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack, and fits on your back?

I keep seeing this clip posted as if to say they're doing something dumb or abnormal. But this is snowblower 101. This is how you shift the snow to somewhere else if you don't have a place to immediately blow it. I have to do this on my driveway between my house and my neighbour's. Then when I'm past the house, turn the chute and blow it in to the yard.

I think you're underselling that its a technique of last resort though since the pile just keeps growing until you can start blowing it off the driveway or you overwhelm your snowblower. Plus snow tends to come out a bit more dense than it goes in. I'm sure you're aware of all this, but I wanted to warn some of the more impressionable shitposters.

I'm on the list and get one every year or two, and I'm as native as a floor lamp. I'd post a picture of a moose getting delivered on a tow truck if it didn't show my house. You have no idea how close you came to failing this test. I'm proud of you.

I do love how moose are big enough that "Greatland Tow and Recovery charged me $75 for the moose dropoff and blood/poo poo tow deck washdown" isn't even that odd when you think about it. A tilt deck wrecker with a winch is basically the ideal method by which a moose can be moved from one location to another without rendering it into quarters, which themselves are heavy enough to be a team lift in most cases. Certainly beats the tinnitus and Fish&Game grilling you get when you have to shoot the moose that tried to stomp your idiot dog to death.

other people posted:i suppose my lack of ship knowledge is showing because my brain cannot grasp the shape of that bow. The bulbous bow is about creating a low pressure area just in front of the ship. That reduces the bow wave, which reduces drag. It's weird as poo poo to look at but it's effective. For most cargo ships it's worth a 10 to 15% increase in fuel efficiency.

Enterprise was a weird one-off that had eight nuclear reactors, but they were all small ones, with each pair arranged to drive one of the ship's four shafts. That might be where the rumor comes from, but the Enterprise didn't deliver any more power to the shafts than the Nimitz-class did, and all the Navy will say about the top speed of basically any of its ships is "top speed in excess of (some speed that's lower than the actual top speed)."

There isn't really a "top speed" on any of those boats, you can always decide to push things harder and harder for a little bit of extra speed until something catastrophically breaks. There's a speed that they'll go if they're in a hurry to get somewhere but it's not an emergency, which you might consider to be the standard "top speed", but if there is an emergency and the need is urgent enough then they'll go a bit faster and risk the catastrophic damage.

Phanatic posted:That thing's sitting there rotting away at pierside in Philly and it's really sad. Worked with a carrier tech research group at Northrop Grumman for a couple years. The cushion that the secret level specs keep is...astounding. one of the better kept secrets is top speed, mostly because of the the takeoff headwind requirement of the planes. They can still launch planes with well over 20knot tailwind if they have to. And they can tilt basically into the water on a hard turn and not split in half. The tech is all milspecced to not fall off the walls in the middle of one of those while taking a torpedo. All that being said, the Cole attack was a mind gently caress to all the engineers I worked with who assumed the carrier group was impregnable the year earlier.

The only things that size doing 40kts are the big trimarans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa-class_submarine 12 knots surfaced, 41+ knots submerged. They achieved this by building the submarine out of titanium and using a very compact nuclear reactor cooled with molten lead, meaning the submarine could have low drag and high power, but if the lead ever solidified the reactor would be permanently disabled so they had to keep the boats connected to steam plants when they were in port.

My dude, that ship couldn't make 40 knots if you dropped it from low Earth orbit. It's an optical illusion caused by a slow thing being filmed from a much faster thing.
