South Lake Tahoe, December 2021 Snow Accumulation Timelapse

Lake Oroville Drought, California

SFOGuy says...

Global warming is real; and it's coming--liberal or conservative, North, South--increasing oscillations in weather, increasingly violent oscillations--are gonna be a thing.

Bit windy out

Bow anchored; stern steerable Azipods? then just---drift into the dock?

At some point, you can only lay out so many cables of anchor chain. I'm guessing she was anchored bow and stern to come in sideways like this? Otherwise she got super lucky to hit broadside on (and so did the dock). Really, if you can't be in a sheltered cove, you want to be at sea in conditions like this and get some sea room and take on the wind and waves on the best possible terms.

I think you misunderstood what he meant by the phrase 'play on'.
I think he was using the definition meaning 'drawing from' or 'taking inspiration from', not meaning it was 'happy play time', not meaning they 'play' them, not meaning they are 'a fantasy or performance'. @SFOGuy, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks. Still puzzles me. The M16 video almost seems like the suppressors we hear (don't hear?) in video games---and then the other one?
lol
Anyway---thanks.

The best explanation I have is that there are different types and qualities of suppressors, some do a better job than others. I think the 150db -110db is not the best that can be done today. I've seen .22s with large suppressors that you could fire indoors all day without ear protection and were so quiet you could hear the gun's internals working, and I've also seen some that hardly lowered the volume at all.

I must shamedfacedly admit I had no idea I couldn't promote someone else's very cool video. Thank you for the gentle tutorial!
I thought siftbot was knocking me down because my "powerpoints" needed recharging--now, I am enlightened.

Thank you!

I assume you are well aware that you can't invoke *promote for another sifters video although I've seen you do this quite a bit. I assume you have seen the response by siftbot to your invocation.

I also assume you are doing this to show support for the videos(which is great) but I find it odd that you don't vote for these videos. A much better way to show you like the video imo.
Anyway the only reason i bring it up is it seems to me to be clutter in a comment thread as siftbot will always respond to your invocation which you can't invocate anyway. If you really feel the need to use promote in the comment thread you dont need to use the asterisk that will invoke a response from siftbot or you can first say promote then after you submit the comment, edit the comment and add the asterisk. This way you will not get siftbot to respond.
Just my two cents and thanks for all your contributions to the sift they are appreciated.
