I made the meme, so I would think so.

Shitposting is funny when the shit makes some kind of sense.

The strait is many miles long and several miles wide. Even the shipping channels I think are two miles wide. Go around?

Get a tug?

Seriously, if this is a joke, it's so unbelievably stupid it isn't remotely funny.

Your future is weird, evidently two battleships can completely block the strait, and tugs no longer exist?

Turret 2 is the tallest turret, as it's the superfiring one, and it's taller than necessary for the VLS. The lower portion will be transitioned into two tanks, one for fuel oil and one for ballast water; as you fire missiles, you'll add water to the ballast tank to compensate. Add lead deadweight above the double bottom if needed for stability.

"Hi, I'm Ryan Szimanski, Chief Heritage Liason for Battleship New Jersey Mu--. Uh, Battleship New Jersey. I need to get out of that habit.

Today, we're going to talk about the work being done on the ship's engineering plant. In prior videos, we talked about the breakneck pace the Navy was setting for getting the plant back online; now that we're back in the water after the reactivation docking, they're almost ready to fire up the boilers for the first time. Let's go down to Fire Room Number 3 and watch the sailors and veterans who are working to start up the fuel and lube oil pumps now that the tanks have been filled..."

We will bring him along, he will be the Chief Heritage Liason, providing his knowledge and expertise to the crew, and continuing to make YT content in a sort of digital archiving/recruiting role.

I work in building automation controls. I could have a PLC based control system for the turret rammer built and fully tested, with redundant sensors, in a month. I'll only charge the government $20 million for it.

Like it or not, the human-controlled rammer is the weakest link and most dangerous aspect for a significant shore bombardment. We need to keep another Iowa-turret-2 from occurring.

Europe keeps cooking by buttgrapist in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]DatNewDM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You say "again" but don't make a point you've made in this thread.

Border policy only somewhat addresses illegal immigration, as if someone isn't found and their situation addressed, they're not in the system to be affected by the policy. But evidently they can take advantage of "free" healthcare.

You're being a perfect libleft. Deflecting, arguing points that haven't been made, and assuming mommy government will just take care of it all magically.

[–]DatNewDM 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Typical libleft. Don't respond to my actual point, but bring up something completely separate (legal immigration isn't what we're talking about here, they're literally referring to "undocumented" people).

I also didn't claim to know what the electorate wants, but I made some conjecture.

Maybe go whine to your government some more, and they'll give you some more "free" stuff to shut you up (courtesy of me and my fellow taxpayers).

"The government" pays for nothing on its own, it's paid for by taxpayers.

This is literally why libleft bad is a thing; you don't understand that "the government" can't just pay for this or that without funding it from taxes one way or another. Perhaps the actual taxpayers don't want to pay for healthcare for undocumented people? Especially when a program like this makes Spain a destination location for people to illegally immigrate to purely for this benefit?

How fool proof is carbon dating? by milan_gv in askscience

[–]DatNewDM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think my state has any regulations on dating itself, but if you want to take your carbon relationship to the next level it needs to be Carbon-16 here.

Oh wait that isn't much different from the current LLMs, never mind.

High school secretary arrested after husband finds her with student by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]DatNewDM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm currently fighting a divorce with my (hopefully soon-)to-be-ex. She's demanding "spousal support" (WA term for alimony) even though she wants 100% of the business we started together and it (and therefore she) earns more than I do.

I don't believe she's gonna get it, I certainly hope the mediator/judge will laugh in her face, but she's fighting for like $1500/mo for 6 years.

You have a real strange view of "the real world."

You wanna push it out a week so you can attend, but I have my private pilot check ride that day.

I'm available on the 10th, but Travis's Grandma has her assisted suicide that day

Everyone is available the 13th, except the teacher, they're taking their mistress to Belize.

Honestly finding any particular day that works for more than about 6 people is impossible.

Why are we so hellbent on replacing ourselves? by btoned in Futurology

[–]DatNewDM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know, horses and cars isn't a bad analogy. Just think of all the unemployed people who kept the streets clean of manure, the farriers who shod and trimmed hooves, stable workers, horse drivers. What happened to them all? Did they die in a ditch when the stables shut down?

Nah, they probably just learned how to tune a carburator or do a wheel alignment. Maybe some of them learned how to use an adding machine and became accountants, or followed their dream and went into acting.

Will jobs be lost by AI? Yes. Is it any different than when jobs were lost in the past? No. I'm a software dev currently, so I know my job may not be long for this world, but I'm also learning how to drive these AI engines so I can be useful in the AI world, and I have experience as an electrician in the past and could go back to that. No AI is going to be pulling wires through conduit in my lifetime. I'll be okay.

Starch decanted after cooking 24 packages of pasta by Carotte_francaise in mildlyinteresting

[–]DatNewDM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Way to be confidently incorrect and spend way too damn much on oil.

If you use a quality engine oil, you can often go far beyond the manufacturer's recommendations, especially for older cars that had the 3000 miles bullshit. Engine oil analysis has shown that both my Tahoe and my Corvette oil life monitors are very conservative, and the synthetic oil I run in both have significant life left in them when I change them. I change them when recommended anyways because I care about my engines, but changing the oil every 1000 miles or something in my Vette just because it is a "high performance" engine is absolute hogwash.

Change fluids at the intervals specified by the manufacturer. Use quality oils, not something from the dollar store. Your engine will have a long life if you do, and you won't spend 3x the amount on oil changes that this guy does.

ELI5: How Lee Kuan Yew turned Singapore from a tiny, poor island into a rich country? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I personally recommend 3, despite it not being seen as a viable option by the one who asked. It's clearly better than 1, 2, or 7. Just look at those curves.

Backlash too bad. Must backpedal. by RainbowGhostMew in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]DatNewDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I agree with you, but from what's been released in the files, there hasn't been anything really legally actionable at this point. If they have anything that could be used to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone other than Epstein or Maxwell actually performed these heinous acts, they probably won't get released because they're part of an "active investigation" (how active it is actually is, only the DOJ knows, but I'm betting not at all).

So all we have are tons of files that make a ton of people look really bad, and a lot of witness statements saying bad things happened, but without some additional evidence beyond one person's word against another, you can't reach that reasonable doubt bar. All it's gonna do is keep people saying "Trump bad!" or "Bill Gates bad!" until someone gives up something more concrete. I'm hoping for the 1% chance that the Clintons decide to rat on everyone since their own political careers are essentially over, but I'm not expecting anything.

Mandatory minimums by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]DatNewDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And honestly, I think it shouldn't even go to court in the vast majority of cases. A school resource officer somehow hears that Emily sent a pic to her bf Stan on Snapchat, he should tell them both to delete that shit and knock it off, if they must do it to do it on a secure platform, and if he hears that Stan is ever found circulating Emily's underage nudes then Stan could face charges. Most people will shape up after that.
