Crane-ception?

Thank you!

I want to see the indentation the big crane made in the concrete.

I think you missed a crane ...

Ahh, Kazakhstan's space program. Only a few thousand more cranes to go. You can do it!

*engineering FTW!

There must be an absolutely stonking counterweight on that last crane.

Yo dawg, I heard you like cranes.

If you put a gun to my head and told me I had to do this or bridge-crane, I'd do this in a heartbeat.

Although, if the choice was gun or bridge-crane, I would have to think about it...

Right at least the claw seemed to be a good one most of them set the tension on the claw so low there's no way in hell it would pick up anything in the machine no matter how hard you try or how good you are.

It looks pretty happy to me. Ones around here are complete assholes.

You're putting words in the commentators' mouths by assuming the answer to your opening question. These two would not characterise Islam moderate, and they suggested nothing of the kind. That's equivalent to me just assuming that you support the actions of Anders Brevik because you're afraid of a European takeover of Islam. Fair?
And FWIW, everything you said about Islam and the Quran also holds true for Christianity and the Bible (except of course for the etymology). For example, the Bible is very clear on the mandate to spread Christianity -- where do you think Islam got the idea? These commentators are derisory of the material taught in this course, derisory of the same things you just said were "extreme" and "ridiculous", so I'm not sure what point you're making except that you're a wee bit xenophobic.>> ^A10anis:
So, how would these two guys characterize the islamic faith? Would they say islam is benign and wants to co-exist peacefully with the west, allowing freedom from religious intrusion, equality for woman, gays, and those of other faiths? The evidence shows the opposite. The very word islam means submission, it is not just a faith, it is a theocracy and dictates every facet of daily life. Dooley's first comment about Hiroshima was extreme, and the FBI comment about Obama being influenced by islamic extremists was ridiculous. But the quran -despite people claiming it is taken "out of context"- is very clear on the propagation of islam. The quran must be followed by every muslim and In 50 years- it has been predicted- muslims in europe will have the balance of voting power. If that happens the commentators, who are so derisory today, will be able to see just how "moderate" islam will be.


I suggest you read my comment again, slowly. Far from putting words in their mouths, I pose the legitimate question; "how would they characterize islam?" Please observe the question mark which, funnily enough, denotes a question NOT a statement. However, they certainly DID suggest what their answer would be. My inference is based upon their demeanor of derision and incredulity at anything said by Dooley, and the fact that they openly condemn him as a war monger. The two comments that I said were "extreme" and "ridiculous," were just that. The other comments made by Dooley were legitimate. Your Brevik comment is absurd and, as such, is not worth commenting on. As for you comparing islam with christianity? What are you talking about? I am an atheist and deride ALL myths. However, in defence of Christianity; When was the last Christian suicide bomber? When was the last time Christians flew planes into buildings? When was the last time a Christian stoned a woman to death or carried out an "honour" killing, or hung gays from a crane? When was the last time a christian beheaded a non-believer, etc, etc? Comparing the two is ignorant and intellectual laziness. If by xenophobic you mean I am afraid of those who wish to radically change our lives and drag us back to the bronze age, then yes, I am very afraid. Islam is an insidious threat, one we ignore at our peril. Finally, If you wish clarification on any other points that you don't understand, I will happily explain them.

I think they wanted it in the water.

Whomever loaded that forklift is either a moron, and parked it to one side of the barge, or the load shifted before this video, and the barge operator is a moron for not securing the forklift with some straps, as well as centering the barge crane.

I never got into Frasier. Frasier Crane was my favorite character on Cheers and the Frasier on Frasier was not the Frasier on Cheers.
Perhaps this will help to explain the evolution of the character from one show to the next.

Soon after Frasier debuts on Cheers, he dates Diane Chambers (Shelley Long). They get engaged, but the relationship ends when Diane abandons him at the altar. Frasier nevertheless visits the bar often and eventually marries Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth), a fellow psychiatrist. Together, they have a son, Frederick, but Lilith cheats on Frasier with a colleague. The couple reconciles briefly, but between the end of Cheers and the start of Frasier, they separate permanently and divorce. During his separation with Lilith, Frasier publicly threatens suicide, to gain Lilith's attention and win her back, but the thought of his son stops him from doing so. Lilith gains custody of Frederick.

I've seen every episode of both shows, and the character is pretty much the same across the board. You described the Cheers Frasier as "professional, collected, pompous, arrogant at times". That's pretty much the same character in Frasier. There were some minor shifts along the way, but that happens when the character changes settings and a new cast is introduced. Frasier was still very much a 'class show' except instead of dealing with ex-sports jocks like Sam Malone and barflys like Norm and Cliff, he was dealing with his father, Roz, Bulldog, etc. But his behavior was very similar in both shows. To this day, still one of my favorite programs. When it was on its game (seasons 1-7) it was A+ material, and even in its decline it still was routinely better than most of the stuff on TV today.

I miss Frasier Crane ... I didn't watch too much of Cheers [hated "Diane" ... ugg] but I adored Frasier. Some great writing on that show. It was interesting to me to see how Seattle was depicted as well.
