Pretty despicable behavior and indicative of the guys character. As previously mentioned, I'd guarantee there was plenty of alcohol involved in the whole situation. Definitely not excusing the behavior but Wyoming must have a problem with wolves for this to be such a minor violation of the...

Oh I have no doubt she'd show evil that I've never seen in a divorce situation. This thread reaffirms my belief that some women show that evil while IN the marriage and then become the damn antichrist during the divorce process. And oof, that's a tough pill to swallow. I'm sure that was...

Ya, I have 2 young sons myself and anytime I've ever thought it might be time to throw in the towel, I realize that would be (in some ways) giving up on them and everyone's life would be worse for it due to splitting of custody, home, wealth, etc and yet still having to deal with the ex on a...

While my wife of nearly 7 years can definitely be unreasonable and is prone to overreacting, she's not a conniving, evil bitch like some of the women detailed in this thread. When I hear about someone I personally know getting divorced I feel some combination of 3 things - sympathy as I feel...

We got through 2 episodes and my wife even enjoys it despite never having heard if the video game series. I played New Vegas and Fallout 4. I did enjoy both though I got into new vegas like 2 years after it was released so a lot of bugs had been worked out. No time for video games any longer...

We are all a bunch of conservatives yet there is a pretty sharp divide between these 2 camps for some people here - a.) Law enforcement officers are heroes. There are bad apples in every profession and those bad apples in law enforcement should be held accountable just like anyone. b.) Law...

The mudshark's behavior got 3 public servants killed. Just bad decisions all around for her, I hope she spends decades in prison but realistically it will probably only be a few years.

A few days late on this but in the first 10 pages I don't see anyone arguing the bridge should have stayed upright after being hit by a >100,000T ship though I have seen some FB morons arguing as such. But many are speculating about how a ship that size operates and only 1 guy so far seems to...

That's a pretty cool project to work on. While I design transmission lines, I haven't had any experience with a t-line on foundations in a marine environment.

Not that there couldn't be underwater transmission lines but above distribution voltages, utilities do everything they can to keep lines overhead. Having spoken to employees of American Transmission Company, the general consensus is UG transmission lines cost 4-8X what overhead lines cost...

Ahh, the prior picture just so happened to have a blue line which corresponded to 14+ knots. This makes a lot more sense that it was slowing prior to hitting the piling.

Reminds me a little bit of when Covid was released on the world and immediately the idea of a lab leak was discounted. I'm over here thinking that it's WAY too early for them to be able to discount a lab leak as the source of Covid as there wouldn't have been sufficient time to conduct a...

Sure but in this case the bridge is a stationary object and has been there for 50 years. Ships crashing into each other are probably, more often than not, a result of both ships trying to be in the same place at the same time. It can be the fault of both ships or just the fault of one...

So a half mile away it changed course towards the bridge piling and it didn't slow down at all. I've never driven a boat bigger than 26' in length so kinda talking out of my ass a bit, but I would think that if it was drifting, dropping the anchors from a half mile away would at least slow a...

That is kind of an important bridge in Baltimore. Traffic patterns will be f'ed up for the couple years it takes to rebuild and shipping traffic will be impacted for the coming weeks and at times until the new bridge is completed. Between redesigning a new bridge, obtaining materials and...
