Hawaii Seaglider Initiative Launch
It’s a ground effect hydrofoil sea plane inter island electric ferry concept, so it’s near its limit in the video.
Ground effect refers to a flight characteristic noticed at low altitudes where the air below the wing compresses between the wing and ground, creating enormous lift with smaller wings or winglets. This makes them much more efficient, especially at lower speeds or with heavy loads.
The largest I know of is the Ecronoplan- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan)
Here’s a bit more info
https://www.hawaiiseaglider.org/
Many “birds” make use of this flight characteristic to save battery power during long term surveillance flights, especially just offshore.
Pretty cool! Is there a limit to how high it can climb? I like the wings. Kinda reminds me of the unreal "birds".
Weekend Update: Christmas Joke Swap 2023 - SNL
Right, he has more practice…but after the “little art films” he’s not getting any protection from the Avengers…he might want to try sleeping on his ferry for a while. I’m pretty certain previous years has ensured he gets no police protection. That’s what I mean by no safe harbor, Che still has home to go to.
“Y’all need Jesus” was great. The Beyoncé joke was good too, pissed off all black women at once, but IMO Jost is definitely in more danger.
I mean... Jost's been living under police (or Black Widow) protection for years since Che's been owning him every Joke Swap. It's something that need not be said anymore.
This is the first time Che's in sweating territory though. From just 3 words! That's a credit to Jost. I think Jost did better this year than any others, even though he still couldn't beat Che (a foregone conclusion).
The fake poet/activist black lady move is genius on Che's part, there's just no win for Jost, and her no contact with Jost is just pure humiliation from beginning to end.
Many Police Unions Pushing Back On Covid Vaccine Requirement
Here in WA state, the ferry workers are going on strike this weekend to whine about having to take a common sense precaution to protect others.
I'd like to see the state pull a Reagan and fire them all.

Circulating Seal
Could it be that the seal ring pool is common knowledge to many of us?
https://en.nixe.co.jp/look-touch/
or maybe it was the ferris wheel that gave me my first clue to discovery?
or maybe i saw it on a reddit thread regarding this exact video.
Guess you'll never know for sure.
W-wait... how the fuck did you find that?

Ferry Vs. Container Crane
Apparently the result of strong winds, the port authority asking the ship to move to a more sheltered area of the harbor, and tug boats not being available to assist.

To be fair, what I thought is new is the cheaper motor running on regular unleaded gas more efficiently. Airplane fuel is insanely expensive compared to gas, and harder to get in remote places.
Ground effects plane/boats have been around for quite some time, but not in a commercially useful configuration. This seems like a big step up from small ferries or tour boats (faster and smoother rides) and far cheaper than small planes to buy and operate.
Yeah, the biggest ecranoplan was enormous, with immense lifting capacity but little evasive capacity, so they were awful in practice as military vehicles except as transports well behind the front. I can't find any instances of them being used in conflicts.
Yep,
What once was old is new again! This tech has been around for decades.
Here is a Lun-class Ekranoplan on the Caspian Sea.

I can only guess those are nuke rated missiles it is firing.
8 nacels, the things HP must have been huge.
Man arrested for using $2 bills at Best Buy
This would never happen in Western Washington.
We can always tell who has been on a ferry and paid cash, because the ferries are the only ones who ever give $2 bills in change.
(Although with credit card rewards being what they are these days, few people pay cash anymore....)
