Re: Bridge Collapse Was A Cyber Attack On Critical Infrastructure Corridor.

That article adds fuel to the cyber attack theory. Multiple independent systems all failed at exactly the same instant. A Maryland pilot was on the bridge of the Dali at 1:25 a.m. Tuesday when the entire ship suddenly went dark. Without warning, the generator, the radar, the navigational equipment, the ship’s propulsion and the engine all shut down. Key to understanding what went wrong will be figuring out what failure hit both the engine, which is powered by diesel fuel, and the generator at the same time. Diamond said he can’t speculate on the cause. Both the generator and the engine are in the same area of the ship, he said. “We don’t have any idea why the engine stopped working,” Diamond said. Looking at the video, the lights just go out for a few seconds. Just enough time for a back up systems to kick on. Also, the main engine was running at the time of the impact. Looks like they were in hard reverse from the black smoke. Very hard reverse. When you hit high rpm on a diesel you get black smoke. I see it all the time. Not sure how long the main was down before they got it going again but with a ship that size and in a channel it wouldn’t take long for you to get into trouble. It’s not uncommon at all for boats to temporarily loose power with an electrical or fuel problem. Now, there is speculation that the sharp turn at the end was from them tossing the hook.

I’ve owned a couple M50s, both ‘06s. Great rifles, and bargains even today. The triggers are a bit odd, being hinged to the guard like a SMLE, but the pulls on mine were actually lighter than the typical single-stage military-style found on other FNs I’ve owned. Those chrome-lined barrels shoot well too, and it’s a mistake I think to swap them out willy-nilly.
Those rifles and some other guns are reminders of a better time when retail chains weren’t run by a bunch of liberal pussies afraid of every whiff of disapproval from the Left. They didn’t just sell guns, they put the company name on them.

I recently took a side trip to Crystal River. Its on the west coast, full of springs and the winter grounds for manatee. You can get a boat trip wiil get to swim with them, rent kayak gear and paddle bay, paddle and swim to mouth of springs, etc. Great little area and cost of a day with both the boat trip and kayaks will be far less than anything Orlando. Sshh. Don't go telling everybody that. Lol.

I fertilized my lawn with a pound of 4F black powder I’d had sitting around for years. I had bought it years back when I first got into flintlocks to prime the pan. I quickly figured out I could use 3F for most everything.
Unlike smokeless, black power WILL explode in a house fire.

She needs to improve her understanding of how chicken eggs come to be, and how their fertilization happens or does not happen.
Maybe also some basics on where babies come from just in general.

Do the generator and the engine both run from the same fuel tank? It could be they got a bad load of fuel in Baltimore.

We call them gangs our gov and media calls them cartels because its more scary. No fugging different The cartels are much more than just gangs. They’ve got the money, they’ve got the weapons. If things ever go south politically in this country, they would fill a void that would give .gov a run for their money. Hahaha yeah our gangs have no money and guns do they, how many deaths a day are in Chicago? Shootings? Some of you just stay scared of the boogeyman man while I go to mexico for a nice months vacation with family members and my 83 year old mother. Less gringos more for me haha. Until they jack you up. Haha.

The AAC stuff at Palmetto is good and usually priced very well. I really like their subsonic 9mm loads, but they are often difficult to find in stock.
