I'll cop to it if I'm wrong, but I think people are repeating a lie about Alice tweeting a dead name. Not defending her edgelord gimmick, just this one thing.

The hot gases from the fire pass down a whole lot of tubes running through the boiler before exiting at the smokebox, which gives them plenty of surface area to transfer heat to the water  This video's focused on naval propulsion but there's something of interest for the railway enthusiast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qveycr0-WMU

Bug Squash posted:Ditto. Unless you're a Vickers Diesel-Electric, then you're ok. The Rev. Awdry's various and hilariously inconsistent prejudices mixed in with his legit train  and attempts at some train-based Aesop/Uncle Remus stories combine to create a magic the later CGI non-Awdry-written ones can never match. WTYP should do a bonus ep that's examining the various railway accidents on the Isle of Sodor. Imagine DNE explaining "well you see in the hurry to depart the station so the Express isn't late, Gordon neglects to be sure Thomas has been uncoupled. So Thomas is being dragged along with the Express by Gordon, at speeds Thomas is not rated for." Liam: "That sounds safe." DNE: "It isn't."

Thought I'd mention this here as I figured it would be appreciated. If you haven't heard about all the crazy going on with the recent dam failure in Michigan it is a great story with something for everyone. First, the dams. These two dams (Edenville dam which impounded the Tittabawassee river to create Wixom Lake and Sanford Dam which was a bit downstream and created Sanford Lake) are owned by a company called Boyce Hydro and were "regulated" by the state's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. The dams have been subject to scrutiny in the last few years due to deteriorating conditions which culminated in their license to produce electricity being revoked by the feds. One of the owners of Boyce has a bit of a colorful past. I've lived in the next county over for about ten years and have heard about problems with these dams off and on the whole time I've lived here. The city that the governor warned could end up with "nine feet of water" covering it is Midland, home of Dow Chemical. In fact, looking at this satellite image you can see that one of Dow's major plants is literally on the river bank (well, now it's pretty much IN the river).  The part which is in the red area is just a part of the Dow operations which have been impacted. There's also several massive "brine ponds" next to the river which were also breached by the flood. This, of course, doesn't take into account all the waste chemicals (including unknown quantities of dioxin) which Dow has been literally burying for decades. But wait! There's more! See these two rather familair looking structures?  Yeah that was going to be a nuclear power plant that was canceled when they discovered that the foundations of the buildings were sinking due to poor soil stabilization. The plant was about 85% complete so they abandoned all the nuclear power components that had been installed and turned it into a gas fired power and steam plant. It would have been super close to the downtown area of Midland.  It's about two miles in a straight line.

That portion of the river flows SE, top left to bottom right. It eventually merges with the Saginaw and flows north into Lake Michigan.

Doc Hawkins posted:which direction does the river flow in, besides, lately, up? It kind of flows to the South where it meets the Shiawassee and Cass rivers to form the Saginaw which then flows generally north into Saginaw Bay at Bay City.  I forgot to mention that there was a lake freighter unloading at a stone dock between Saginaw and Bay City on Tuesday when all hell broke loose and it's still stuck there due to high water levels as recently as 1:30AM in the morning when I went by on the way to work this morning.

okay, so the plant is technically downriver of downtown, and not the other way around. i don't know if that actually matters but i felt compelled to find out.

My college had this little stand next to the library where they'd put their extra books and you could just take them. I took so many. Among them was a huge book on the Bhopal disaster I never took the chance to read.

once upon a time, Alan Moore, the author of From Hell, The Watchmen, V For Vendetta, and a whole bunch of other stuff, decided to make his own comics company: America's Best Comics. the initial idea was that he would write comics from an alternate universe where the superhero was not invented, and so the medium of comics had other kinds of pulp stories. you've probably heard of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but there was also Tom Strong, Promethea, and a few other even-lesser-known series. one of those was about a boy genius in small-town america who got into some kind of educational science-trouble in each issue, and in one issue a policeman asks him to make a machine that will make light obey all posted speed limits within town limits. and he does! and then the consequences of that are explored! anyway the goiânia episode reminded me of that.
