See those downvotes. We don’t like you…

Calling discourse a bitch slap fest is a tactic to shame actual meaningful conversation capable of providing insight.

A lifetime of swashbuckling! WHOOSH. WHOOOOSH WOOOSH…

The day it IPOd on the market was my final day not the day of filing… I was holding out hope it wouldn’t happen lol…

That sounds smart!

Newer user here… the api stuff got me to delete my reddit account but still surf it, it was the day of the IPO that i created my lemmy account…

" According to reports from sources that produce news on such matters, this is critical…" lol wtf…

Release the movie Dogma on streaming services again!

So I can bang ur mom…

Holy shit that would be hilarious!

Yea. Didn’t realize how hard it is to stop a giant boat. As a electrical engineer we stay away from water and my ignorance shows!

Ahhh. I wasn’t seeing the full incident. Lost main power they radioed a warning. Backup generation isn’t designed to fully stop a huge boat. Life safety systems on board should be operational but it’s the problem here is stopping a giant heavy boat…

Why would a collision detection system not detect a collision? Asking as I know little about such systems. To me a system would include GPS and bridge heights and ship height with radar to alert of tight spots. A bridge could have a sensor from lowest point to measure water height and hence clearance ND broadcast to all ships who must acknowledge before crossing. Why am I a moron on the internet a step ahead of billion dollar operations?

Dude. Backup power. Backup generator in a fire rated room. You didn’t understand my previous rant. Batteries and UPS and generators. If your main power fails you have Backup generation sometimes even redundant Backup generators with interlocks and load shedding to keep life safety online. But it is a moot pointthe issue here is we don’t have a good way to stop a huge boat with no power. This is more an industry blindspot than anything I see now.

A good anti collision system here could be a dude with binoculars lol!

As an electrical engineer I will say there are giant thick sections of code for backup power regarding life safety systems. Generally a backup generator will keep running even if on fire and breaking just to keep power on… backup batteries on even more sensitive equipment provides even more redundancy. Power failure leading to a disaster is a engineering failure.

This is the fashion police. We need your cat to come in amd make a statement…

Da fug is a sizzle reel. Sounds like a term 1st graders came up with…

If we throw ypu out you’ll just return with more boomerang humor…

more evidence that we do live in a society…
