Handsome Ralph posted:Honestly, I hope they pull it off. There's some precedent: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1772629069508538546?t=PKKDZCmYdelkGB44JRJy9A&s=19 An awful lot of non-blue state poo poo depends on that port being open and having a bridge over it, so it might not be a huge food fight. The big question will be if the new governor and Biden bypass a lot of the site inspection and environmental reviews to get the drat thing re-built. Or, if they decide to build a better bridge and eat the extra delays.

Donnie's gagged again, but this time for his criminal trial: https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1772702126126276856?t=iLIyqAbsGjvsjdKM48t-vA&s=19 NYT posted:The New York judge presiding over one of Donald J. Trump’s criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tuesday that prohibits him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors, the latest effort to rein in the former president’s wrathful rhetoric about his legal opponents. And why this actually matters and has teeth: this is a criminal trial, not civil bullshit. Donnie could actually get jailtime if he doesn't shut up. And a fun example: quote:In a rambling and angry post on his social media site on Tuesday, Mr. Trump made an ominous reference to Mr. Cohen, claiming without explanation that his former fixer was “death.” He also referred to one of Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors in pejorative terms.

It's been almost 9 years since the escalator - do we still have to feel bad for people who have been conned into buying his poo poo to subsidize his legal fees? At this point, the Social Security Administration should just cut out the middle men and starting writing the checks to his defense attorneys directly.

If Trump IS held in contempt for violating the gag and/or regular ol' contempt of court, what IS a plausible punishment? Is there any "sit your rear end in jail overnight" option without some paltry bond he could just pay and be right back out?facialimpediment posted:Let me ask you a question in response, which also informs why I post stuff. To the first point, and I never used to be this way, but I hope every waking moment of that fat gently caress's life is a level of miserable akin to the John Q.

As for the current grift, when do we reach the point where he dresses as Jesus and mounts himself to a fake cross to make body parts on evangelicals fire for the first time in years, if ever?

Note that the gag order was only issued because of statements Trump made today. The judge had thought that the admonishment he gave him at the start of trial would be effective.

Trump and his allies have made life more dangerous for innumerable persons in already vulnerable groups and things seem poised to get worse before they get any better. I might be in a demographic that will be just fine, but I don't care if he's having a bad time and won't feel better about anything that is going down until he has actual consequences and isn't put back in office

Comrade Blyatlov posted:It's also possible that they were trying anything they could think of to restore steerage. In that kind of emergency I would. 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. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough distance to pay enough chain to stop the ship, if it would have even been able to since they were moving at nearly 8.9kts when they dropped the anchor. More likely it would have just ripped the chain out of the locker if it hadn't hit the bridge. Stultus Maximus posted:I wonder how much liability the shipping company will bear. The shipping company has already likely begun dissolving and reforming under a new, legally distinct entity lol, because maritime shipping go brrr. Nobody who was responsible for the (likely deferred) maintenance for the vessel is going to face any repercussions. (for the record, it likely was not the crew who was responsible for any maintenance getting deferred, often the crew and inspectors will highlight maintenance concerns and whoever actually owns the ship will put them off because downtime threatens profitablity, crew is probably hosed because the ship is absolutely going to be seized for the duration of the investigation, if it's even seaworthy after they get the bridge off it, and the vessel owner is more liable to abandon the vessel than face legal troubles with recovering the vessel or assets.) orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Mar 26, 2024 |

lightpole posted:Vessels have changed significantly. The Dali is only 10000 TEUs but its hard to get a good perspective with how big everything is now. Was curious and managed to find a good graph showing the largest available cargo ship by TEU per year from 1970 to today:  (could also be labeled Globalization.jpg) Dali is about three times bigger than the largest cargo ship in the world when the Key Bridge opened, and yet its less than half the size of a Megamax (from googling it looks like the max that has entered Baltimore harbor is ~15,000 TEU)

lmao MV Dali had already had been cited by inspectors for maintenance issues related to "Propulsion and auxilliary equipment" in past inspections, aaaand nothing came of it of course. The inspection hit was for an issues with "Gauges, thermometers, etc." but who knows which gauges were messed up since it wasn't in the report.

The inspection hit was for an issues with "Gauges, thermometers, etc." but who knows which gauges were messed up since it wasn't in the report. That doesn't really mean anything. If someone wants to find something its not hard. That's a single deficiency and was cleared next inspection. Probably a very obvious busted gauge. I'm pretty used to sailing with multiple (not a good thing). Local gages are just backup at this point. Everything is automated with electronic sensors. Inspectors say everything needs to work if its installed even if its superfluous. Edit: She would be on a scheduled run Columbo to USEC so I would assume there would be a maintenance port on the USEC. Possible they did maintenance in Baltimore and experienced a failure departing. I've had the contractors fail to tighten the bolts for the HP fuel lines to the injectors off the common rail, so thats 1000 bar HFO spraying on the exhaust trunk when the bearing on a x head LO pump failed and it lit off. lightpole fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Mar 27, 2024 |
