Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

Before I even watched the video I knew exactly what clip you were talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MY_Ady_Gil

A boat built to break the record for circumnavigating the globe in a powerboat. It was donated or sold to anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd.


There's footage of the collision from multiple angles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMEXPTHNCGw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11wraVvzeRY

this boat was doomed from the start, it had already been involved in a collision before being re-purposed by the Sea Shepherd group

wiki posted:

The first attempt at the global circumnavigation record in 2007 was ill-fated. The boat encountered mechanical problems on several occasions, and collided with a Guatemalan fishing boat, killing one of the other boat's crew.

I was trying to figure out which one was the one that ruptured, and then I realised it didn't just break open - it suffered critical existence failure, and you can see its pieces lying around the place.

This is like in Factorio when the player picks up a chest but it’s full and so is their inventory so the game dutifully tiles the surrounding area with its contents.

It was an experimental vessel that was later bought by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It sank after that collision.

For maximum shadenfreude I hope this hit and killed a whale while it was sinking to the bottom of the sea.

I can only wonder: how many poops could that corn fill up? Assuming 10 kernels per log, that's a lot of poop.

An oil tanker then crashed into the corn pile and exploded, followed minutes later by a freak dirigible crash that was owned by the dairy industry on their Butter is Better campaign.

Not wearing the safety harness is a matter of machismo, especially for teenagers working the silos a summer job.

Not even that. I just dislocate and/or tear muscles to relieve the structural strain.

I like how some of them are totally 'do not want' and fly away and some of the dumb assholes just jump right in like they're tired of existence and want to go out this particular way. It's amazing to watch. I feel bad for the poor bastards who are on the other end watching churned feathers and ex-bird flying out.

On the other hand, the factory gets to sell that "squab-flavored bread, now fortified with extra vitamins and minerals" to the populace.

I was under direct orders not to die

A couple of farm kids here died in a grain silo and the government was like "hmm maybe farm kids shouldn't work in grain silos" and half the province freaked out because being a farm kid is good and builds work ethic and character! Also a lot of farms would lose free labour but shhh that's not what it's really about.

Came out like, worked its way out through your skin? Or do you know the consistency because it was surgically removed?

The only choice you actually have is what part of the year going outside causes your face to hurt.

If you don't live in a cold place, then you can't boast on facebook about how you are so much smarter than people who live in places like Atlanta who "don't know how to drive in snow". You see, they get 2 inches of snow once every 10 years and all crash their cars like morons, not like smart me.
(they also are driving on summer tires and do not have snowplows or salt trucks but I am still so much smarter and a better driver)

:ssh: also a ton of the people who live in atlanta, raleigh, dallas, orlando etc. are northerners who moved south for the jobs and because they're sick of the snowy winters :ssh:

recently we got a bit of snow and a local county sheriff's office made an example of a guy who claimed to know how to drive in snow since he was from wisconsin, and soon after was having his car towed out of a ditch. the sheriff was like "we dont care where you're from, if we've closed a road it's for a good reason"

There's only a few narrow climate bands where you can live comfortably without horrific heat or freezing miserable winters. Otherwise you'll be paying through the nose for either AC or heat.

I've heard England doesn't get very hot or cold, but I can never tell because they use that weird Calculon or whatever temperature scale so 12 degrees could mean warm and then 17 degrees could be the surface of the sun.
