Cojawfee posted:When they get that toddler out and just toss the kid to the side. Depending on how long the toddler was down there, it might be in serious trouble and that's what you need to do. And it will work out in the long run. That boy will spend the rest of his life being the hero who saved the well baby and the well baby will spend the rest of its life being the dipshit who fell down a well.

Proteus Jones posted:I’ve never seen it used on a fence, but that’s a legitimate style of wood finish. I’ve only seen it done with furniture and decorative items. I've seen a couple episodes of Grand Designs where they use it on house siding. Although they did the torching on the wood before they attached it to the house.

Zeond posted:There's also the USS Intrepid museum on the Hudson River in NYC which has the late WWII carrier and the USS Growler which carried the very first submarine launched nuclear cruise missiles. They also have a Concorde on the pier and the shuttle prototype Enterprise as well as an impressive number of airplanes parked on the carrier's deck. The Midway (mentioned earlier) is now a museum ship in San Diego. It's worth a visit if you're in town.

Log082 posted:The stream just went to break (it's a local news stream, but it's just a live stream of the firefighting when it's on) but before it did it looked like they were dropping on the island? Presumably they think it's worth trying to save something, or at least put it out so salvage can begin sooner. There was also a small but noticeable list. The ship is docked right outside of central San Diego and the whole city stinks like a burning computer right now. Even if they're ready to scrap the ship, they need to put it out just to spare the city from a week of breathing toxic smoke. https://twitter.com/NWSSanDiego/status/1282656748604514304?s=20

Doc Hawkins posted:why is one "liquified" and one "molten"? very inconsistent One is molten because it is a solid rendered liquid by heat and one is liquefied because it is a gas rendered liquid by pressure. Maybe both could technically be "liquefied" but where is the fun in that?

Zopotantor posted:No, that's a Stanisław Lem story (Eight Voyage from The Star Diaries, IIRC). Reminds me of Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. It's the book that Stalker was based on. A character tries to explain the stuff the aliens left behind with this metaphore: quote:A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around... Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind... And of course, the usual mess—apple cores, candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow.

LifeSunDeath posted:watching some trainhopping vids and the guy's usual insanely dangerous climbing on roofs is outshined by sitting right over the wheels of this train: A YouTube boat building series I watch did a profile of one of the people who work on it. Part of it was the guy describing his stint traveling around the country by hopping freight trains and, thanks to this thread, all I could think about was how lucky he was to get though that expierience with his limbs intact. The next segment was that same guy describing how he got the nickname "no feet Pete." edit: I should just link the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR5jwxJcEGc&t=996s

On the subject of scuttling, the WWI German fleet interned at Scapa Flow scuttled themselves by opening their seacocks:quote:Around 10:00 a.m. on 21 June 1919, Reuter sent a flag signal ordering the fleet to stand by for the signal to scuttle. At about 11:20 the flag signal was sent: "To all Commanding Officers and the Leader of the Torpedo Boats. Paragraph Eleven of to-day's date. Acknowledge. Chief of the Interned Squadron."[24] The signal was repeated by semaphore and searchlights.[25] Scuttling began immediately: seacocks and flood valves were opened and internal water pipes smashed.[26] Portholes had already been loosened, watertight doors and condenser covers left open, and in some ships holes had been bored through bulkheads, all to facilitate the spread of water once scuttling began.[26] One German ship commander recorded that before 21 June, seacocks had been set on a hair turning and heavily lubricated, while large hammers had been placed besides valves.[27]

What's the procedure for when planes bump into each other on the ground like that? Does the NTSB or whoever have to do a full investigation as they would on a crash? And do the planes need to go through a specified level of inspection before they fly or do the airlines just exchange insurance info and figure it out for themselves? Edit: I mean for the winglet collision, not the planes swimming upstream to spawn.

Computer viking posted:Brutalism covered in green plants is indeed cool - good brutalist designs often have really generous open spaces, but they need the plants to make that feel pleasant instead of oppressive. Liking Brutalism with Trees is like saying that you think a person is attractive so long as they are hidden behind another more attractive person.

Computer viking posted:Brutalism with ivy is more like thinking people look better in the right clothes. The shape of the walls and windows are hard to hide. The defining character of brutalism is the user of naked raw concrete and strong geometric shapes. Covering all that with plants nullifies those qualities. You don't like brutalism - you like plants. Just say you like plants.

CommieGIR posted:Dude, this just reads as attempted justification. Maybe don't do that. "They didn't deserve that" and then "But nobody liked them" isn't doing the lifting you think it is. The Dollop episode on them is remarkable for how it handles this. 3/4 of the episode is just building up how terrible MOVE was and how hostile they were to their neighbors. In any other situation they would be the villians of the story. Then the cops show up and by the end of the episode you're on MOVE's side.
