Not only that, you’re using the friction between the anchor and the seafloor, so even the recoil of a propulsive ballista will allow you to perform work.
Hey warp and weft is why I mentioned threading a needle across the sea.
Thank you Boatswain Underpants. Keep up the good work.
I bet you could get a bunch of money for a CGI prototype of your new green cargo ship.
We’ll just use a howitzer to launch the ring into mount doom.
Those vessels have truly advanced warp drives.
I stumbled on it when figuring out just how the hell tall ships docked and undocked without tugs. Turns out they did use tugs in the form of rowboats but they also extensively used shoreside rigging and warping.
Edit: and I should add, they very rarely actually docked in the first place because it was such a pain in the ass, so they used tenders instead mostly
Oh I’m all for radical change up to and including the redistribution of property and the abolishment of common law. I just don’t think that’s happening anytime soon.
To be sure. The lawsuit is fine, if you build capacity for the state and they don’t use it, they still need to pay for the costs of having that capacity. Actually creating a situation where a business must increase incarceration to create a profit is actually the potential for a much darker path than a fucking lawsuit.
The problem is it was privatized at all.
The baltic states are a no fun zone.
Everyone always forgets about Suriname.
You can’t write off expected future profits. That would essentially make income taxes meaningless. You can use a depreciation schedule for movies that you’ve produced and spread your tax savings out if you want(and you can avoid doing that by cancelling the movie all together and claiming it on your taxes now as a deduction), but that only matters when you’re actually making future money for the movie that you want to reduce your tax burden on. WB is losing a hell of a lot of money in the future to save money right now.
And us trolls are what keeps the comments showing up. If folks didn’t have us to be outraged about, what would they do?
Well that’s no better than searching IRC logs, which are something folks have absolutely done in the past. I still haven’t figured out why folks like discord so much though.
I’ve got a really wild idea: what if you change the shape of the anchor so that it’s actually getting resistance against the water itself instead of having to hit the sea floor. You’ll have to pull it out if the water once you’re done moving it and then drop it in again. Maybe put it on the end of a big stick. I’m thinking about calling this type of anchor an “oar.”
