  • So dumb. The captain can be partially blamed if there was negligence considering planned routes going through areas with bad ZOC (zone of confidence), or bad knowledge of depth in easier terms. Which might be a reason as they were surveying the area. But that’s pure speculation.

    Trying to blame anything on the captain being a woman is just ridiculous. The navigator on watch could also run the ship aground due to bad navigation, without the captain even being included in the process.

    Every time a grey ship is in an accident people open their cake holes. Let the investigation do its thing, then come back next year spewing your shit.






  • Wouldn’t this allow like three states to dictate the other 47?

    Sure popular vote sounds nice. But is it really practical if the goal is to raise the quality of life for everyone?

    A popular vote would allow the leading majority to neglect 49% of the active voters and groom the 51%. It’s the majority’s tyranny.

    Edit* wow you absolute degenerates. You only support this idea because you have the popular vote. If the tide turn this one suggestion could fuck you sideways. If tye republican party had the popular vote you wouldn’t engage in this circlejerk. Never support a suggestion that could shackle you to a sinking ship.

    I’m not claiming to know anything about this specific flood. Sure might be sick idk.

    But there’s a huge amount of crisis’ that got greater because of how we built, not what happened.

    Take the flood in Pakistan last year. The same flood happening 50 years ago in the same area wouldn’t be such a catastrophe. What caused it to be so severe was the amount of people who had settled in a valley which is carved out by smelting water from glaciers. Building smarter is the most rational solution for short term gains. Stabilizing the climate is a much greater endeavour, and might be impossible short term.

    For real though.

    If you settle in an area famous for being a flood plain, you can’t be mad about it when the plain floods.

    Germany are now doing experiments with controlled flooding of old flood plains to channel water away from too narrow man made canals. The flooding also kills invasive plants as they were only allowed to grow because of the geological changed forced upon the land.

    interesting watch on the topic.

    Lar summer in Norway we had a flood matching the regular high points. Only issue was that the last high point was almost 100 years ago. So people stopped caring and the areas close to the river was regulated as river front houses.

    Climate change is an issue. But people being dumb as fuck is an even greater one.










  • It’s extremely affordable on the ocean. What are you talking about?

    Just until recently satellite internet was really expensive. Like only large corporations could afford it. And the bandwidth was shit. Also it was barely available in the deep northern and southern hemisphere. Sure it’s considered expensive for the regular kayaking dude. But it’s insanely more available than ever before.

    The dudes an asshole. But don’t invent arguments.

    People here believe that a lie is the truth if told enough times.

    Living in an echo chamber without even realising it, is a speciality for people online.

    I have not seen a single post on the frontpage critical to anything Harris has said. Not even how she said the house could strip businesses for their patent and give them away. Which wouldn’t be a very good idea in the long run.

    But good luck in November. I live on the other side of the pond.
