  1. If the forecast weather or conditional language therein meets the departure requirements then you go. Carrying extra fuel is inefficient. Yes, this time it didn’t work out, but on the whole it does.
  2. I’m not supposed to break that rule.
  3. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo(s).
  4. SFO FA Base? Probably not very cunty at all.
  5. They’ve already reached a Tentative Agreement. They’re on call all the time and can get bumped off their schedules if someone more senior wants it. It’s a rough lifestyle.
  6. I thought the Zumwalt had issues with following seas. Seems like I read that somewhere. It might be a more attractive ship if the low observable requirements and design phase didn’t make it look like a foreshortened traffic cone. I’ve wondered if “looks right, flies right” applies to ships at sea as the Indy certainly looks a lot more right, but the tumblehome hull does seem to be better suited to handling higher sea states. I’ve seen a move towards that with offshore service vessels, some smaller freighters and a cruise ship or two.
  7. Interesting look from the bow to the rudder. Speaker is a bit annoying, but cool to see up close and under the ship.
  8. That’s a strong RPO look, and hard to ignore. Karic isn’t going to catch any passes so does Bama dare stay in smaller personnel and risk getting run over, relatively speaking, or do they upsize and risk matching a LB or S up on one of our skill players. Bama runs it too. They run a fair amount of the stuff Sark left behind, it’s just BOB runs the etch a sketch version of Sark’s offense and has filthy enough talent to get away with it.
  9. Bama’s a nice “where are we at game.” I fully expect them to beat us by 21. Lees if they’re off and we get hot, and vice versa. ULM wasn’t going to challenge our players much, but our defense often looked like a superior defense should against an overmatched opponent. They were in position and stifling most of the time, and we didn’t exactly empty the playbook to do it. It passed the eyeball test, which is not something I’ve been able to say much in the last decade for that side of the ball.
  10. It’s Groundhog Day for him every year where he wins the title or finishes no worse than 3rd. Must be hellish.
  11. Or maybe the DC who couldn’t coordinate the front and back end last year despite that job duty being in his title got some help from the guy who’s defense he copied in the first place. Lack of talent isn’t an excuse to not match up your defense. Your defenders may not get to where they need to be or make the play, but that doesn’t excuse starting them out of position or running coverages ill suited to what the front is trying to do on a given play. So Sark invites Patterson on down, revamps our safety play and suggests that we institute tighter coverage. Im sympathetic to PK having a staff forced on him, but the inability to have Lake making things right for his secondary was telling. I don’t buy into the “maybe our coaches figured out on their own narrative” when a long time defensive legend shows up to help. I suppose maybe he’s just collecting a check and cutting records, but I doubt it.
  12. It’s early, but it’s also telling that the two halves of the defense appear “coordinated” after the addition of a certain analyst in the offseason. Brockermeyer aint’ it, but it’s worth remembering that he tore his ACL less than a year ago. I’m sure he’s not 100% either physically or, if that’s right, mentally.
  13. I was just thinking of all the times I’ve been on a ship tour and they’ve talked about the crew walking around with a broom out in front of them to detect the steam before it killed them. I guess that would be a greatly reduced threat with the electric drives they’re putting in the Columbias. Still have to turn the generator with it I suppose, but not much else.
  14. That super heated steam is scary stuff if there’s a leak. I can’t remember which ship, but the British actually pressurized the engine room of one of their warships to get extra power out of the engines.
  15. I don’t think they ever refit her with steam turbines. They had plans to, but never followed through.
  16. You can gap to it publicly at least once.
  17. Yeah. The hair is quite bad. You’re not fooling anyone bruh.
  18. Don’t have to build water tight doors this way I guess.
  19. https://www.facebook.com/saltwtrrecon/videos/486095869618404/ Time lapse of the ship being raised.
  20. Battleship New Jersey Curator explains the reasons why they can’t just park the ship in mud or encase it in concrete like the Mikasa. 29:25 mark. And yes, someone needs to pull him aside and discuss his method of wearing a belt.
  21. Ryan Syzmansky or close to that. Just search for the Battleship New Jersey channel on YouTube.
  22. It’s less than ideal, but he’s clearly monetized his media and built up support to keep the NJ in good shape. Him being around the Texas is a very good thing. That last picture reminded me that they had a periscope in one of the engine rooms to observe the exhaust and refine the mixture in the boilers to make the ship less visible.
  23. Yup. It’s good stuff, and he has certainly taken the camera to every nook and cranny of that ship
  24. I believe the battleship New Jersey curator is going to pay a visit in preparation for that ship’s upcoming dry dock visit. He has a pretty solid YouTube following so that should help too.
